that primer pump is present in the Toyota diagrams for the European spec LJ s. its the winter pack option, guess is meant to heat the fuel before going to the IP., so probably has a temperature sensor and a heating element. Its discontinued and price was in the range of 300+ euros. If you...

fuel filter housing

Webasto . u can find models that can be hardwired to a switch and dont need a computer to run. mine is connected to a gps tracker that has a sim card, so I can text message to the gps and that turns on a relay that starts the webasto. the whole will run untill coolant temperature reaches 70 deg...

i use a second hand webasto, actuated by dash switch or text message via a gps locator. works great and has its own controls, heating stops when coolant temp reaches 70 deg. only issues are: very sensitive to air in fuel line and bit noisey if you park it on a small street with grumpy...

I think that is to hold the electric wire away from the mechanism. when you open the door you will see. It took me 5 minutes to install it and it does make a difference. might be a good idea to order the metal pin as they get worn too.

I replaced the vent pipe with a new one due to severe rust and the difference is that now there is no more "hissing " sound when I open the fuel cap to fill the tank. before, there was a lot of vaacum in the tank (I think) and I even drilled a small hole in one fuel cap to eliminate that. the...

try this 84722-60050

a piece of bicycle chain tied with a bicycle brake cable onto your 1/2 universal joint adaptor. then put that onto your normal ratchet. I used it (costs nothing) for a year or so untill I found the same "tool" made by draper.

I used auber meter. ebay has also some meters that are looking identical with auber, some functions are different. auber will read a vdo temperature probe (which I installed in an adaptor inserted between thermostat and radiator. you will find info that says to put the egt probe before the...

inspect the cooling system properly, change thermostat for tridon high flow, add/change the silicone oil in the fan hub and install egt and coolant aftermarket gauges. dont try to drive it faster then 100km/h on dash (wont reach more then 120km/h anyway). I have 400000km on same engine and...

roughtrax in uk has a bosch seal kit. was used to reseal my pump . a shop did it, runs very well now, but I wont mention the mad price I had to pay...

Double din brackets are bigger then single din brackets. Whatever you do, make sure you use the oem brackets, otherwise the bezel will crack. for single din radio I went with a brand named Kienzle (Germany?), has a retro look while offering bluetooth. normally the toyota connector needs a...

I bought new fan clutch, but old clutch filled with 10000cst pulls more air, so I left the old one in place.

how is the radio cage attached to the dash?

@coldtaco: while you are there, wouldnt be a good time to take apart the windshield wiper linkage and see if the bushings are worn or if you can add some grease to them? The metal parts that have each 3 screws have the plastic bushings inside. I think the middle one gets most damage from use. If...
