      bjowett replied to the thread Donaldson air cleaner for Diesel.
      The least expensive price in Australia is about $700 usd, with the filter replacement running around $100 usd. Here’s the data from the video posted on page 1. The test is not perfect, but does well enough. Clean/new vs 28 oz/800 grams of dust.

      Just a heads up that they now list the 5.7L on the application list. Not sure if we were the first, but we installed one about 8 months ago with a couple modifications. So far so good eating dust each day.

      Yes, it will fit. That is the superseded number.

      Which number 100 series diff did you order? They usually supersede out to a 200 number.

      bjowett replied to the thread GX550 & LC250 Tracking Thread.
      I usually buy for a certain dollar value over invoice, but under sticker, it depends on the vehicle. (ex we purchased my wife’s old 2011 FJC Trail Teams for $500 over invoice). I am fortunate to have a small local dealer and a great relationship...

      bjowett replied to the thread GX550 & LC250 Tracking Thread.
      Passed on a first edition at my dealer. He requested two from Toyota, a First edition for another customer, and a 1958 for me. Toyota allotted two first editions. Zero interest in paying nearly $20k extra for the same vehicle.

      Does the coolant temperature ever even go up? Towing my travel trailer over passes here in UT I have barely even seen the coolant temp break 200F. Boiling point for a 16 psi cap is like 265 or 270* I would lower the coolant concentration for...

      Some of the Tundras do have the hot start issue, just as you have described. The vdj200 diesel radiator will help with cooling. Same core as the gasser, but the header tank has a bleed port and large degas tank.

      bjowett replied to the thread New LC Differentials.
      Let me add that the 9.7 is different from the 9.5 that has been in service for decades. We will likely need to actually look at the 9.5 that is installed in the Taco/GX550 to see if it’s compatible with the 9.5 that we know. As for why… IMO it’s...

      Checked it… the 9.7 gasket has a different PN and slightly larger pattern than the 9.5.

      I’ll own that one and if given the chance to re-shoot or had I been given the power to edit/cut, I would certainly not have said any battery will survive the “life” of the vehicle. I fully acknowledge batteries are finite and use, temperature...

      That must be 30mpg imperial… so like 24 - 25 usa mpg.

      bjowett replied to the thread Your Thoughts on the LC 250?.
      Look at it this way, if Toyota had offered the GX460 with a slightly detuned 200/LX570 drivetrain - 5.7, AB60F, JF Series 6 pin transfer case, and big axles front/rear, the cruiser community would probably have lost it’s fric’n mind scrambling to...

      Later production runs of not only the Performance Tool Socket, but a few other brands, have the 2 1/2” socket slightly redesigned… they shrunk it down a hair. Just enough to create fitment issues. It’s part the reason I have not produced another...

      Well, after two years of sitting outside I brought my truck into the shop and my plan is to start ramping up on finishing my engine swap. My goal is to drive it out to Rubithon this year…. Crossing fingers…

      Hello all: friendly, 70 series mod fwker here doing a build. my love of the 70 series only seems to grow mainly because it’s the only LC that I still learn things about with every iteration I engage. A bit about me for the new folks: I’ve...

      Yes. That project was sold off before completion… always regretted the direction it went, would like to build another.

      bjowett replied to the thread LC 250 Hybrid Sound?.
      As for the sound, it’s relatively loud and annoying on hybrid Toyota vehicles I’ve seen.

      bjowett replied to the thread LC 250 Hybrid Sound?.
      Yes, they have speakers. The removal mod on some Toyotas is to add resistors in place of the speakers, probably the same deal for the 250. One could also wrap the speakers to reduce noise. FWIW, Federal Register :: Request Access -...
