Dodge Journey FWD

Genesis Owners · Bucky83 · 10 Nov 2026

Hello all, I know I have not been on the forum much at all, but I thought I would start posting more on the incredible journey with our R-Spec. It has been virtually flawless since we got it. Yesterday My wife started the Genesis and the red battery light came while she was sitting in the driveway. The screen also had a pop-up message about the battery discharging. I was not home so she took our other car. We went out this morning and I checked the battery (12.5v) and then she started the... Read more

Long read: I realized recently that I have been using this forum as a tool without contributing to the vast knowledge it contains. What follows is a complete build recap of my 1990 Volvo 240 DL, this has been an almost ten year journey and I will try my best to include as much detail and as many pictures as I can remember/find. My Dad has always been a Volvo guy. His first car was a 1960s Volvo 122 in british racing green. My dads father and older brother bought identical cars new in the... Read more

So just picked this up from my good friend Dave. He has loved this truck for many years now but now it's my turn to continue the love. His original build thread Build - Dave's 80 - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/daves-80.1069472/ . Will update this thread as things change. But for now love having an 80 back in the stable.

Now that I got Sid's approval to talk about it publicly. I decided to open my own Nutrition Business named Grand Canyon Gains. ( Arizona based) In a way it was a long time coming as someone who has done every fad diet, chased anabolics, tried every supplement brand known to man it seems, plus more. It came about as one night my girlfriend and I were talking, as I was helping her with her health journey. We were talking about her parents. One with oncoming dementia, and the other with...

Is there any interest in starting a thread to share 40 series spotted out on the road? Every now and then, you catch one. Out on the dirt or rattling down some two-lane highway. A 40 series. Not on a trailer. Not behind glass or rusting away out in a field, but out doing what it was built to do. If you happen to see one out there under it’s own power, let’s see it and hear about the journey! Bonus points if you spot one through the bug-splattered windshield of your own Cruiser (be safe!)...

After having had this rad little truck for about a year now, tinkering and lurking on the forums trying to scavenge any info of people building these out, i figured I should share the journey of my build too! The truck is a 1998 Dyna 150 / Toyoace LY161 with the 2.8l 3L N/A Diesel Picked it up from a dealer/importer that put a lot of work into freshening it all up, lifting it 2" via torsion bar lift and blocks in the rear, and added new tires KO2 30x9.5 Photos from the port...

IH8MUD · Trustyrusty · 8 Nov 2026

Hello all, I thought I should start a thread documenting my journey as it might be helpful to someone else going down the same path. I've always been a Land Cruiser fan. I've had several 40's, a couple rare 45's, a 55, a 60 and an 80, this is my first 70. A LHD 1986 BJ70 came up locally on marketplace and I couldn't help myself, so I snagged it. Instant regret! It had a 1HZ swap, ran and drove, but was dangerously slapped together. I was blinded by "I can fix that" and excitement. All four... Read more

My 340/430 stroker engine and 2004r transmission is getting installed this coming weekend! I'm super stoked. It's been a over 4 year journey with many ups and downs along the way. I'll keep everyone posted on the progress!

For A Bodies Only · brodphish · 3 Nov 2026

Last November I started a thread on this forum asking if I should build an existing 273 or use a 360 crate motor for my build. In the end I did neither, having a 318 stroker built to 394. It was quite a journey and 10 months later it’s back on the road.

IH8MUD · ceylonfj40nut · 3 Nov 2026

Been on Mud for a while. Have the addiction. Done a few projects in my driveway and on my back. Have a few Cruisers. My boys are at an age that is right to get them confident in many things in life thru wrenching. My dad taught me so much. Watching and doing alongside. Not to fear much. Dive in. Time to pass it on. This hopefully shares our story about our journey in time and all that happens in our wrenching cave. The Elf Barn. My Home garage was hard to get things done. Bought my last... Read more

IH8MUD · SerenityNow · 30 Oct 2026

Hello everyone - long time listener, first time caller. I’ve been lurking on the site for months, but finally pulled the trigger and am the proud owner of a 1997 fzj80 as of Labor Day. It’s been a fun journey, definitely learning a lot and still have A LOT to learn, so thanks in advance for my questions, as I will be learning as I go. The issue that brings on my first post is a leaking fuel line I noticed this week as fuel was steadily dripping out of the line while engine was on. It’s the... Read more

So I am doing an AX15 swap for a member here, this has been an interesting journey so far in trying to find the little bits of information that is needed when AA instructions are rather... Vague. But when I am done, I will be an expert... Right? I have called WH's and AA which has been helpful, but not always satisfying... The first question I had was attaching the clocking ring to the T-case. The mark that is placed on the ring needs to be placed/mounted so that it is near the floorboard... Read more

Just rebuilt my carb, installed it and somehow it runs! hah two questions for yall to complete this long journey: Can you adjust the idle mix screw with the air intake (just the top off) while its running ? I got to the idle speed screw, just worried the vacuum wont be correct if the air intake is not sealed. I watched the video on youtube but thats an FJ40 second the high idle screw is for the choke when its fully closed right ? what rpm should this be at ? My idle is around 1k right... Read more

Alrighty, follow me on my glow plug journey. Toyota 19850-67030 - Obviously these are recommended, although expensive. Coming from 617s and $15 glow plugs, paying $70/ea had me going WTF. HKT PN, CP-22 - HKT is a Japanese brand, even OEM for some manufacturers. MUCH less expensive, so I tried them. Too good to be true, just had two fail weirdly after maybe a year, 2/4 had roughly double the ohms of new. First cold start of the day had a few misfires for a couple seconds. Not sure when the...

Picked up my JDM 1994 Land Cruiser Prado SX KZJ78W in September 2025. I retired as a police officer in Indiana after 28 years and this was my retirement gift to myself. I typically try to take a trip out west at least once a year but I haven't been able to go anywhere for the last 5 years. Starting in 2019 with the militant leftist riots that posed too much of a risk in getting hung up on the interstate and having a group of violent rioters putting me in a position to... Read more

IH8MUD · Aussie Alaskan · 24 Oct 2026

Greetings all. I picked up this 1973 FJ40 last night from a local in the interior of Alaska and will be chronicling the journey here. The plan is to keep it rough enough around the edges to be able to do a bit of off roading and exploring and not feel too bad about scratching the paint. Pertinent details: 1973 FJ40 with seized original 1F engine. Original Warn/Bellview winch 5687. Original winch bumper and interior controls. Sunvisors still in plastic wrap!! Everything on the dash looks... Read more

Morning all! My first time posting in the 80 Series section. Have lots of wrench time on an ‘84 FJ45 Troopy and an ‘89 FJ62 but just starting the journey on a new - to me - 3x locked ‘97 FZJ80 (below). Lots for me to fiddle on/improve and on delivery, found the low-beam bulbs were dead so replaced them and in replacing the driver’s side, while fussing with the headlight housing, the grommet below seemed to drop out of nowhere. Looked hard for where it might have come from and examined the... Read more
