Installed a ScanGauge 3 with the Spiker Engineering mount. Still not 100% happy with the mount position, but I love having the new ScanGauge.

It's not the end of the world if your headers have some small cracks and you hear that ticking noise...... Mine have been like that for many years, I just haven't wanted to spend the cash to replace them or the time to replace them, if I decide to tackle the job myself. I have done all the work...

Exhaust manifolds most likely! Tons of threads on it, but here is one of them: 100 series exhaust manifold - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/100-series-exhaust-manifold.1188171/

Had to replace the pulley idler earlier today. The engine started making a loud mechanical grinding noise and when I popped the hood it was shooting sparks out of the idler.

I had the same thing happen to me during my starter job about a week ago. The damn starter was completely seized into the block and no amount of penetrating oil or movement would break it free. I didn’t see this post until after I finally finished the job…. I used basically the same procedure...

I bought these and they have held up pretty damn well:

Thanks for posting this info! I couldn't find the shield part # at all for some reason and the shield bolts were completely rusted into the caliper on my brakes. I ended up grinding down the bolt heads completely to get the shields off on mine, then spray painted the old shields and reused...

Just installed my Group 31P upgrade kit from Slee. I should have taken a before pic, since the wiring was a bit of a mess. Took me a few hours to install, but that was mainly cleaning up the old accessory wiring I had before connecting to the new battery.

I haven't personally had this happen, but I would hazard a guess that one of your wheel speed sensors might need to be replaced.

Finally installed the snorkel I got for Christmas.... Honestly this was more of a pain in the ass than I thought it would be and the template wasn't very accurate at all!!!

I just purchased a set of rear brake calipers from PowerStop, but they didn’t come with the replacement “shields” for the calipers. Does anyone know if these parts can be sourced separately? I looked at parts diagrams, but I can’t find the shields sold separately from the caliper…. I may have...

I have the Smittybilt X20 12k, you can look at it on Amazon here: I've had it for just over a year and it works pretty damn well.

Probably your first priority right here: 100 Series Solid Axle Swap Bracket Kit - https://trail-tailor.com/store/p167/100_Solid_Axle_Swap_Bracket_Kit.html

Thanks for the note, I'll probably do that next time after learning my lesson on this job. I didn't feel like I was prying up too hard, but then the housing for the sensor cracked. The passenger side came out completely fine and all the bolts came out easily as well. The driver side is a...

I've had my Land Cruiser up on jack stands all week replacing the lower ball joints, bearings, races, etc.... Honestly, this has been a bit more work than I expected it to be. Just ran into my front ABS speed sensor completely stuck in the steering knuckle and it ended up breaking off inside...
