The later alloy wheels used the washer style nuts. IIRC, the earlier ones did use cone style, but not sure what year that changed. Guess it's not a factor here, but it is something to be cautious about in case others reading this aren't aware of...
The only thing you need do here is make or acquire the handset, which resided in the upper part of the LX console. That's only about 20% of the phone. The rest is a big black box made by Fujitsu plus a power supply that resides in the left rear...
Swapped the smaller tuner in the left for the bigger one in the right…naturally this entailed reworking me entire hf radio set up due to space or lack there of in the rear quarter panels…
All done now though and the new tuner works all bands with...
Camping out in Bloomington IN at my brother’s place waiting for the eclipse Monday afternoon. It’s the first night out with the awning recycled from the wrecked 80, the rebuilt sleeper drawer system, and the Kelty Backroads shelter.
Took my parent's mint '92 HDJ80 to yesterdays Offroad-Day at the Toyota Collection Cologne.
First time I touched that car since losing my father to cancer last year. It brought back so many great memories of traveling and wrenching, laughing and...
FYI, if interested in these, I'll be going to Bloomington IN Sunday to watch the eclipse, returning here on Tuesday so potentially free delivery if you're near my route of travel. If shipped that'll be somewhat less than the $30 it cost to send...
I have 2 bars left. The are the standard Front Runner bars for theior 80 series low profile rack. Width is 3 1/2" and the length is 52 3/4". I think they refer the rack as being 53" wide, but actual size of the bar is 52 3/4".
The important points here are OBDII making it easy to deal with faults and fault codes and airbags, especially airbags if you're like me, walked away from an accident where they made a major contribution to me walking away from it in good shape.
Catching up on recent projects in this post. Finally got the bungee up around the inside of the cabin roof, so test fitted the curtains. I like it dark inside when sleeping and am cheap, too, so I use landscape cloth to make curtains. I foldover...
Not a great picture to go off but here is some general information. If you can get some better photos of the top of the engine that is causing concern and also some of the battery area and the wiring there.
There can be build up and/or "sludge"...
I was pretty happy with how this thing cycled. I think it gets around 4.75" of uptravel and the rest is all down. Even with a ton of trimming it still schmushes into the flares
Sooooo I think we did pritchett canyon the last day. Which is a bad idea because none of us trailered this year. More tire, more lift, and more down travel made a big difference. Who woulda guessed. We ended up wheeling with a gladiator on 40s...
We hit Kane next! I have a love and hate relationship with this trail. The first time we hit it, it was super busy and we got mobbed by a gang of side by sides on hamburger hill. This time it was super fun, we kinda hit it in the middle of the...
By now everyone was pretty worn out so we had kind of a non wheeling day. I have no idea where we went for the first bit, it was rainy and cold and I dug holes and people jumped their cars in the dunes
Definitely a possibility. All the vital rubbery parts are probably crumbly now.
When you replaced the battery did you check the fusible links? They're another potential failure point.
On a leap of faith, reached out to social media and the most incredible group of strangers came out to make some magic happen. 4 guys showed up on 1.5hrs of notice. None hesitated to put their own rigs in harms way, one almost tipping over...
As mentioned, partsouq.com is a great resource. Put you VIN in and it will spit out the factory parts diagrams specific to your truck. Click through the various diagrams to call up the parts that might be of concern. They'll either list them as...
My Denso died after only about five years. Reinstalled the factory pump that I kept as a spare (removed at ~253k mi) and it died within a couple more months. 23221-66040 fits and has been problem-free since last year.
There was a huge recall...
