Daughter and new owner of Batlshp proves her worth with a beginner job of replacing the fan clutch:

Still in the process of getting it all back together but it's very close. Heading out Friday morning to hit up Expo Mountain West on Sunday and then heading more west. Hopefully will be able to me CruiserFest Sept. 6. Anyone going to any of these...

I installed a sensor. I have never seen 190c with this kit that was installed going over mountain passed on 2nd gear and RPM 4500

That's what I thought. I have seen some people add a bung or another way to put a sensor on there to check temps. In my case, I am sure it's just the sensor (they aren't cheap...about 80-90$) I will try taking mine off and cleaning the contacts...

Does the OBDII read transmission temps? My transmission temp light goes on and stays on when I drive now even when cold. I am sure it's just a sensor but I don't think I saw temp readings available on the reader.

I drove 7 hours round trip last week to work with Jason at Ozark Overland Outfitters in West Plains Mo. I can say this was the best experience I have ever had with a shop. I showed up at 8:00am and they got me out the next day. The amount of...

Hand cranks suck. Nothing appealing about having to stop the truck to stretch across the truck to roll a window up or down. Even slow, poorly working power windows are more convenient than that. I daily a truck with hand cranks.

If anybody wondered what a stripped 1fz cylinder head weighs! Heading to the scrap yard due to a nice crack. Too bad it wasn’t caught until after it was machined!

Another vote for Olathe. I received my radiator within 5 business days, double boxed, no damage. I've always had good luck with TPD for small items, but didn't want to risk it. Olathe also had the best price.

I use the super tech as well, my brother told me once who makes it, don’t remember, think it was the same as valvoline? I change it once a year or so, it also is usually the only one I can find brand wise in the heavier weights for arbs without...

Also, who is this crew? Met you in Stewart BC at the gas station. We discussed we are all active on Mud, but forgot your handles. Anyways, nice to meet you all and hope you have a good rest of your trip.

12 days in trip to journey to Alaska with Dad! Currently in Whitehorse YT. Trip is going well and trucks are both running great. Just missed the 331,000 mark at camp.

Building my fourth set of drawers for the 5th Land Cruiser I have owned. The 4th one already had drawers. I build simple ones without slides and they carry a lot of weight just fine pushing them in and out. Pocket holes and glue.

FZJ80 front brake conversion with 100 series pads. Made a nice difference over the stock parts.

Sorry, you were not aware. Ourisman or Olathe are the reliable US mail-order shops. My Lexus dealer gives decent discounts as they are an Ourisman affiliate. Part-Souq and Amayana are legit alternatives.

I have way too much overhead to be able to give out Cad files for free. :lol:

Joined the 35s club! Also, became a victim of targeted advertisement, and bought a Wolfbox dash/back up cam thingymabob

I installed BIG brakes

Put some "new" seats in...

Nope waste of gear oil unless you have a glitter machine

Not quite across the whole country but I’ve driven my 80 series from Ohio to that point 4 times already.

I can't recall how much it takes as I just pour the oil onto a modified garden spayer which makes filling the diffs much quicker. I have used the Supertech gear oil from wally world for years. I don't see the point in over paying for oil when i...

Finally got the boys started with building their swing outs.

Drove the 80 almost all the way across the country and by back for the second time in 4 months. Once again she did great.
