And back on the road!
Super rad couple.
EDIT: those of you with 05/1995 and later 1HD-FTs: make sure to take a look at your injection pump and see what style fuel cutoff solenoid you have. If you have one with a “control unit” black box...
Methods are not nearly the same quality or strength. That's apples to oranges. If you like the look of the forged Toyota wheels and are willing to pay the price premium, go for it. Methods are not comparable IMHO.

My 200 is high miles, the paint has seen better days and if I’m being honest it’s my winter beater/offroader/tower. Well my adhd got the better of me as my paint on my bumper is some of the worst of it and it’s got some damage from a previous...
Pretty rad this is still available when you want to de-ABS your 80-series. This is non-ABS front brake lines and fitting on the front axle housing suited for US-spec 91-92 Cruisers. Available at your local dealership!

Finished tear down and hour or more ago after slacking on tear down!
Still need to clean this side a bit.
We have set up this Nitto 37x11.5r17 on Toyota Steelies recently, very tempted to go for a tire like this in the build!

Yeah I just don't see it being the same as the Swain Tech. Their Turbo X is the same kind of thing as Cerakote -
Tech Line Turbo X.

Not to talk bad about the cerakote, but it really is not an insulative coating it is a "looks nice and stands up to the temperature" coating. The only really ceramic coating that I know of that actually significantly reduces radiated heat is...
This picture is from a few days ago but…..
It got picked up a few hours ago and is off to its new home with @Dadams ! It was a real pleasure to build it, own it, use it and eventually sell it to an outstanding fellow Cruiserhead! That is it...
Fuel tank is outside 30ft away from me and I am standing next to a fan that is running on high and I can still smell it!
I am about to finish removing one of the rear brake hard lines and the LSPV. I also still need to remove the rear ABS...
Lucky for me I have x2 parts trucks. This is a SoCal one which was running and driving when it arrived.
This is a Seattle one which last time I looked inside it’s tank it was good to go, probably use this one if it still is good to go...
I like this for “quick and dirty” top coating. Simply meaning rattle can, it goes down well on bare metal although I rarely spray it that way, usually I spray it on top of 2k Epoxy like I did here and it works good for that too.
First coat...
