If you thought that was fun just wait until you get to put it back in!

Pulled out the transfer case. Getting ready to play with 111 lbs. of fun! Did it in the drivrway. No easy task. I have probaby done over 1000 sit ups over the past week!

I also did both high and low range gears from @cruiseroutfit through @ACC Toyota . I LOVE THE RESULTS! I have stock gears in the pumpkins and run 315s. The truck is a joy to drive now. I had forgotten what it was like to accelerate up hills...

The compartment held a toyota branded first aid kit in some markets.

Frog Bayou, western Ozarks. More technical than I expected, and gravity and traction defeated my confidence and I high centered on a shelf I should have stacked rocks on. Apex winch (and some rocks) for the save. Luckily drive shaft was unscathed...

From the FSM, brake section: PARKING BRAKE LEVER ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION 1. CHECK PARKING BRAKE LEVER TRAVEL Pull the parking brake lever all the way up, and count the num- ber of clicks. Parking brake lever travel at 196 N (20 kgf, 44 lbf): 4 - 6...

Rear brake job with a few surprises...I was doing the brakes because a bad grinding noise started that I assumed was worn pads. It was really bad though with constant drag on the brakes it felt like so I thought it might be bad. Was surprised to...

I started my cruiser one cold morning and when I turned on the heater I got the vibration from hell in the blower motor. I immediately knew what it was since I had seen mouse droppings on the top of the radiator and battery. When I pulled out...

My LX was missing the owner’s manual when I bought it last week. I registered it on mylexus, and found a spot to request a manual. Look what showed up in the mail today!

I don't know if there is a circuit breaker in the circuit but that's what it sounds like it could be.

Pretty sure all aligning is done with wheels on the ground so yes that would be at ride height.

Regarding cable size, it isn't really that important. When you are jumping starting a car the cables are mostly charging the battery rather than powering the starter. The battery powers the starter. Smaller gage cables may just take a few more...

The look you get when you have a good bumper, but you order another one and she laughs...I married the right woman Ironman to ARB completed :) :beer:. Winch and side markers still need wiring, but pretty much set. Edit: I guess I should have...

These are the 200 Series model, which does not use a metal flange and attaches only with 3M sticky tape. Time will tell how they hold up.

Ok, I guess I'll be the one to ask about the armrests: How do the arm rests stay in place? I looked on their website and saw the metal flange that slips in by the window seal but how does the rest attach, sticky tape? They look like a really...
