    Parting Out SoCal 1997 FJ80 Land Cruiser

    Nope I am up in Reno now, that would be quite a trek. Looking for 9 wrap. My 4runner is heavy with a cage now. Shipping would be to 89523.

    Would you buy a '98 4Runner Limited ... that needs airbags?

    Price seems good, I'd price out what it would cost to replace the air bags and then decide. The 98 4runner uses an inertia switch to trigger the air bags, so there should be no impact switch that needs to be replaced. With that many miles, check the color/smell of the trans fluid to make sure...

    What kind of dog breed do you have?

    My two boxers. Brindle is going on 9 years old, White one is 5. Picture is from last year. Both are dumber than a pile of rocks but who cares.

    4Runner Crossmember (Cut it off? Relocate? Need it?)

    The tacoma does not even have that rear xmember. But I have a feeling the 4runner needs the extra rigidity. The only advantage of keeping it is that the budbuilt belly pan mounts to it. Otherwise I'd chop it off, replace it with some 1.5x1.5 square tube and make it flush with the frame. In...

    Caliper assembly technique question

    I've done a set of tundra calipers and do not remember there being anything hard about it. But just like you said, with the piston in place, put the new boot on. Then expand the new rings a tad and slip them onto the base. Never had one come off. Then again the pistons do not move all that...

    Rolling.. but far from done. Got a drive line noise, resi mounts, issues with the hubs and alignment to deal with in the morning.

    Sweet, good to know. I had never used a bender before till this week. I'm guessing there are a ton of tricks to getting things to land where you want them and I knew none of them. I re-did the frame side panhard mount to get it about 1/2" lower last night and got the axle side mount half...

    Snails pace... Hoping to have the truck off the jack stands on Sunday.. Probably jynxed myself. ;p Chris (Mr Burns) over on reno4x4 was nice enough to let me use his bender and after two trips to the hidden valley area from NW Reno I think I have something that is useable. I got...

    Well the one tool I need I do not own. Panhard is gonna need a few small bends. Making a template right now with some scrap tube so that I can take it to samco or trent.. unless I can track down someone in town that has a bender. Even with the bends its gonna be a pretty tight fit with 1.5od...

    Days like this I wish I had a separate garage just for this stuff, wife would be much happier. Steering box is mounted, made the draglink and got that attached, Now if I can shoe horn in a panhard bar in on sunday then that will be a huge victory. Is it best practice to just match the drag...

    I could of added 2" of lift or switched to a rear swing IFS box. Snowball is a good way to describe it though.

    Keeping it low sucks.. No way around it, had to notch the frame. Was a little fearful about it but it was holding me up. Using some frame tubes I got from WFO I have the upper two mounting holes for the steering box on the top of the frame, should be easy to fully weld and beef them up. Also...

    Good idea, I'll probably need to remove one of the front bolts on the arms to be able to get it to flex completely.

    This was the second time in 3 years that I have had rust removed from my eye. First time costed $15 (copay), I got lucky at the St Maries Urgent care up in Galena when there just happened to be an eye doctor doing rounds at the right moment. Second time costed about 10 times that much...

    Ok.. had a mishap in the garage that set me back a few days. Took a piece of metal to the cornea and scratched my eye pretty good. I got the metal out but had to see a speciallist to have the small spec of rust dug out of my eye. Not fun. Anways, managed to complete the frame side mounts...

    They are factory low steer arms from the mini truck. But with the push pull arm cut off on the drivers side. Then I reamed them for GM 1-ton ends todo the y-link style setup.

    Kinda of a productive weekend, but always some road blocks. Good news, we got the axle centered and lined up. Tacked the frame side mounts in place and put some heavy tacks on the axle side. We used tape measures, plumb bobs, string and a ouija board but got it exactly where it needed to...
