July of 2024 and I just called BlueDriver customer support. They confirmed that they do not currently offer transmission temperature as a part of their offerings. Like others, I made the mistake of assuming a $100 new and fancy dongle would read something my $20 5-year-old dongle has done since...

Interior looks to be in pretty good condition and the rust isn't too bad yet. With lowish miles, I'd guess you could get in the range of $7,000-$11,000. This one looks a little rougher, but is comparable...

That's an interesting question. If it were me, I'd start by looking at every 1996-1997 LX 450 that is being sold here, on Facebook marketplace, bring a trailer, Craigslist, autotrader, cars.com, cargurus, ebay, and any other place I could think of. Then I'd come up with a reasonable price for...

Wow, that is a fantastic conversion. You've got a functional hood scoop and everything - well done!

Hi all, I am new to the site and I'm considering buying either an HZJ80 or HDJ80 LHD and importing to the US. Admittedly, I suck at using the search function, but I'm surprised that I've been unable to find a breakdown of the differences - good and bad - between the 1HZ and the 1HD-T engines...

Sorry for your loss, what color is the interior?

You guys are inspiring me to think of things I could hang from an eye bolt, rather than just tying things down to it. Thanks!

I can't believe I just read through 18 pages of sub-$100 mods - so awesome! I've been struggling to see a use for eye bolts at the top of my rig. I've never wanted to tie anything down from an anchor point up high. Could someone kindly provide a good use for these things? It'd be so easy to do...
