Irish Reiver

I've had these locked axles for a few months and over the past week finally set them up so that I can go through them prior to installation. I'm going to replace the bearings and seals in the rear axle and whatever the parking brakes need. Plus...

Winch hill 4 first attempt, denied Second attempt

Winch hill 4 was a tuff son of a bitch but all three of us made it without winching. Literally asked for the hook, but nobody heard me so I thought I would give it one more try. Add to my surprise, she pulled right up🤠 List time it was hard at...

Following up on the supercharger oil change. The GM supercharger oil change seems to have quieted it down. The coupler was tight with no indications of wear. Getting max 4.5 psi boost with the stock TRD pulley so no change to previous...

Looks like you're working on a FJ80 (3FE engine). Are you referring to the protective covers for the steering shaft U-joint (yoke sub assembly)?? Both upper and lower protectors are discontinued. 45637-60070 Lower Interlink Protector...

You also have the wrong battery. The Land Cruiser uses a 27F battery which has the positive post on the left rear of the battery. The battery you have has the positive on the right side near the fender. As stated in another post in the last...

And after the battery terminal clamps, that would be the very next thing to check. There are 3 fusible links in the set. Each one feeds a separate sub-system. Check fuses/links with a meter, not your eyeballs.

Muffled POP...that's a fuse, friend. Start with the second one down middle row in the pass compartment (10A). That's the dash fuse. If that's not blown, look at the fusable link. Doesn't matter which one is blown, you're still in for a hunt to...

OK, but that's just the switch, which isn't really any different than the key switch. My question was more to the wiring than the actual switch. What happens when you flip the toggle switch? Where does the current come from and where does it...

He still needs to power the fuel pump. And the open question about whether the ECM is being used needs to be answered. That's why I asked how he was starting it now. This is a little more complicated than a '67 Chevy C10.

Made some progress on my second battery setup!

Still running around Utah. I lost a center cap so if anyone has one (especially in the Moab area) let me know please 🙏

Toyota does offer replacement labels. The original label needs to be surrendered to get the replacement label. This means cutting the label out of the door.

The car was originally black. The engine bay was the only jamb they didn’t repaint as it’s not a show car and wasn’t worth the additional time and money to do. It’s a newer BMW paint code. Sadly 9/10 repaints we see look nothing like this, most...

Here are a couple pics of a good customers car we did in early 2025. It’s a $15k full repaint with jambs. One of the best jobs I’ve ever seen. You can see there are sources to get reproduction vin tags and other stickers so you don’t need to mask...

Thanks guys. I know the truck has been repainted because I paid for it to be repainted earlier in the year. It was a full panel off and window out job but the masking around the door tags and all the security tags are really my only gripe. The...

Yeah that’s the most sloppy masking job I’ve ever seen around a sticker.

Looks like a re-paint around the door tag.

The engine bay should be green. Your door jamb sticker looks off with the tape lines and green smudges, despite saying 6M1. I would look around the rest of the body for any conflicting VINs.

From that one photo it appears that the door (around the VIN sticker) has been painted?? Can you post up a few more photos of the paint next to a transition ie: near a door lock/latch including the screw (heads), engine bay showing the inner...

Currently working on my '95 project and have just started work on the engine. This may sound strange having owned the truck for a year but I just noticed my engine bay is black. I initially thought that PO had painted it but the more I strip back...

1) what year? please put it in your sig line. 2) download the EWD available for free for the year of your vehical. ALL US Landcruiser/LX service manuals 1960-2018 (all years all models) -...

Finished a week of elk hunting

The usual, I guess?
