Rear Heater Pipes need 1/2" Hose. Got the repair done today. I cut the
pipes on the vertical from the engine bay and used hose from there to the
pipes as they enter the floor beneath the rear heater blower(approx 3 feet)
I suggest everyone with 80 with Rear Heater (especially FZJ80) checks these
pipes as mine were corroded in several places, and I checked on the Ih8mud
forum and it's not uncommon for these pipes to corrode above the
heatshield. It would have only taken a pebble to pierce mine (I did it with
a finger) out on the road and I would have been trouble. Tested with
water tonight no leaks so far. I'll get anti-freeze back- in tomorrow as
the as the -1 to possible -4 in the weather forecast I just watched tonight
is a bit scary.
