thanks - what do you think? Worth going for on a trade?

I have a nice ‘06 LX470 with 200k on it. Great color with nothing wrong and well taken care of. A guy wants to trade for his ‘10 Trail Teams with the same mileage. The truck look fine but has some God-awful wheels on it. The trail team is not perfect; he says it’s got a valve cover leak, some...

Thanks - we’ll see how it turns out. My spare has the red pin stripe on it. I’m blasting and spraying the chrome ones I got white. I was planning on putting the red on there.

In the hopes that this helps save someone a few minutes in cleaning their vinyl dash, seats, etc.… after years of trial and error and money spent on lotions and potions, I’ve found the quickest and best way to clear vinyl is a mix of Castile soap/water and magic erasers. I got this SR5 seat...

With the truck still in the shop, and working from the house, I figured I’d dig into nit-picky details I usually don’t mess with. After corosealing and repainting any bolts that needed it, I decided to give restoring the mud flaps a shot. Turned out pretty good. I went slow with the white...

Figured I’d give an update while the truck is still at the shop - still. I should have known better that insurance jobs would keep pushing my paint work back. I’ve been down this road before and should have just done it myself at this point. I found some chrome wheels off a 1985 which I am...

Yeah, I got too big for my britches for whatever reason thinking mr. Toyota had those in the same size frame. Thanks.

Do y’all know if the window frames for the 79-83 models are the same dims as the 84-89? Reason being is I want to swap some vent windows in my ‘82 and there’s a lot more doors laying around for the later models. Thanks!

Well, I didnt see that coming. I guess the dealers stuck them on where they saw fit on those California beds. Thanks!

Thank you! Much appreciated.

Right. I tried re-seating the seal but it’s harder than a rock and won’t seat. Thanks.

I assume the rubber boot should just be friction fit in the t-case? It’s not cracked but seems like it will not fit snug back in.

Laziness never pays off here… looks like the culprit?

Hey guys - haven’t posted in this forum in a while as I’ve had good luck - until now. 1988 Aussie HJ75 - put it in 4H to get it in the boat garage out back. Parked it and after 5 minutes or so, I noticed a lot of gear oil puked out from the t-case. Goes in and out of 4WD just fine. Haven’t...

I dont care the condition - I can always pretty them up. Let me know if you want to let go of them. Thanks!
