    FAQ Understanding Toyota Hardware Part Numbers And Other Part Numbering Thoughts

    From what I’ve seen, extra digits can mean remanufactured such as starters and alternators or color codes on trim pieces. AFAIK if the first 10 digits match the part will work but it may not match.

    Gambler 2024- this time I bought a Toyota.

    I haven't done it on a 2wd but there is usually a bolt you turn to crank up the tension on the bars for lift. Back in the 80's people would lift the 2wds to put stock 4wd size tires on which were 28.5". That plus a body lift plus trimming sometimes with flares would give the max clearance for...

    What have you been doing with your Toyota?

    FYI: most shops will refuse to put the factory sealant inside the older style sandwich gaskets on 80 series and earlier like the FSM recommends which may lead to a water leak and/or windshield frame with floor rust. The new generation of techs think the rubber seals by itself. It was not...

    What have you been doing with your Toyota?

    Speaking of glass, who does the best rock chip repairs? Some techs seem better at it than others and the ones I've used in the past that were good are no longer around.

    Go factory. They're not true O-rings. They are grooved to keep dirt out and grease in.

    Dunlop Snow Cruiser 78. Factory bias ply tire that came on Cruisers and 1st gen mini trucks during that era. The wheel is actually getting rare as they were pitched. Same as FJ40 without clips and white.

    1997 Land Cruiser Anniversary Editions Explained....

    Correct. Could you post interior pics of CE items like floor mats, seats, shifter surround and climate control. These items are unique to the US CE and 40th Anniversary edition.

    1997 Land Cruiser Anniversary Editions Explained....

    My understanding is that the Aussie spec CE is a bit different than the US variant. Aussie CE gets US Lexus LX450 rims for one.

    Wouldyou buy a house in Butte?

    I lived in Butte over 20 years ago and my wife worked in Anaconda. There are some great tried and true Montanans there but as everyone knows it has its unique culture. If I had to go back, I would probably try to move to the Anaconda area as I like smaller towns. You might give that some...

    1981 Pickup 4 X 4 New Owner

    As I thought about this, my 82 with the chrome grille has the inserts painted a dark gray which as it ages I'm starting to see something similar to yours with chrome dots underneath. I think mine started out as chrome and painted on top.

    1981 Pickup 4 X 4 New Owner

    A lot of these trucks were delivered to the dealer and customers without a rear bumper and many of the bumpers were US dealer accessories or aftermarket hence the SAE bolts. Back then, this country wasn’t used to metric hardware, so anything added on typically was SAE. I’m not an expert on the...

    Builds My first 80 Series

    For anyone who has added power in the back quarter panel and needed to run power to your rear bumper for a camp light like I have, where did you pull the wire through the body?

    Builds My first 80 Series

    Running wire from the back of the vehicle to the front is a bit of a chore. Neatness buys real estate with space. Use lots of zip ties. I couldn’t do this without my little helper.
