@Matt Sierra I built one from scratch. But it has the wrong circuit trace - it’s from an HDJ79 - so it is mostly useless. I think this is the fourth cluster in total, when I make sure that this works I can then go back and reuse all the shiny...

I mixed and matched cluster parts and finally found one where everything works except the fuel gauges. I replaced the kmh speedometer overlay with the mph overlay from the cluster I had built. I checked and replaced all the lightbulbs. For...

I redid the intercooler piping with 3” on the hot side and clamped it all down. Violet approves, though she would like to go to bed.

Your truck looks amazing.

2018 Corolla IM same as Toyota 86. Truck is made up of many Toyota models and years

We did another road test and headed to the gas station to fill up. Interestingly, the rear tank kept foaming and filling up… So I stopped trying to fill it. When I got back to the ranch I took the rubber fuel hose off and found a giant mouse...

More progress today. My friend Kevin, the greatest x-ray tech the world has ever known, stopped by for a few hours. I extended the 79 series parking brake to reach the wider 80 series axle. I mocked up a simple extension bracket. I’ll build a...

Fueling it up and confirming the second tank reads correctly.

I couldn’t help myself. I took it out on the road for its first ever test drive- just a just a quarter mile down to the corner gas station and back, but it sure felt good. After seven years, I’ve got a running, driving, titled truck built from...

Made progress tonight. I got all of the intercooler piping built. I’m about five hose clamps away, but I feel safe taking it on the road now and not sucking rocks, dirt, or bugs into the engine or turbo.

Reminds me of an old joke about a back country fellow that bought his first chainsaw. After about a week of ownership he brought the saw back to the dealer. He said this saw sucked. It didn't cut worth a damn. The salesman said "let me look...

Well, friends, back at it a week later. We miss Nate terribly, but the pain is starting to ease a little. You know what? The speed sensor works a lot better if it has a gear on it. I don’t know why I just assumed that the sensor magically...

I rather unexpectedly lost this guy about two months ago. I miss him every day and I still find his fur in my Land Cruiser because of all the time we spent in it together.

We said goodbye to Natey this weekend. He was the best boy and a true Cruiser dog.

Hello, The longer absorber fits folding windshields. The clearance between mirror and glass is slightly longer in these. Juan

Today we said goodbye to our beloved Natey. We got 11 great years with him. Nate, I’m sorry I didn’t get your truck done before you had to go.

Ready to move this.

We have a big update coming with lots of new features for the multiguage. This update will work with both early and modern version. It modernizes the unit a lot and adds a ton of features.

I'm not sure that 12101-17110 is actually available anymore, but that sump should be the same as 12101-17100 if you can get it. Is the 12101-17100 not available to you locally in Australia? The no oil level sump 12101-17040 is definitely no...

Yes, this is the one I put into my single cab 79.

The shop vac helped me clean up all of that damn fesh fesh on top of the fuel tank. I didn't want to get crap into the tank when swapping the fuel pick up.

Today, it was muddy as heck but it wasn't 100F, so I crawled under the truck and dropped the fuel tank. I needed to swap out the gasser fuel pick up and swap in a diesel pick up with the larger pickup tubes. You can the difference in size. I...

get an 80 with a five speed. we can find the manual rolling windows if you want

@Meshal will have the solution for you.
