When I first bought my 80, I went to do an oil change and I’m convinced the guy before me put it on with an impact. 1. Get a hose clamp big enough to go around the oil filter. 2. Position it as close to the block as you can, with the screw head facing towards the ground at the 3oclock...

Life’s changing at the moment, we’ll see!

Oh man! Next time you drive through Ogallala let me know. I’ll drive up and grab a bite or drink with you.

Glad it worked out today! I told Bryan earlier I don’t think his dad shared his same enthusiasm for his growing collection 🤣

Update: The 1FZ has been sold! I figured I could also give some more details on the 3RZ as well. It was an engine out of a 98 4Runner, so the distributor style head. It has a 1 piece intake, and header style exhaust manifolds. I’ve got the airbox from a T100 intake, and I’m pretty sure all the...

I have 2 spare engines that I’d like to get rid of to free up some space; a 1FZ-FE out of our 1994 LC, and a 3RZ out of a late 90s 4Runnner. I planned to do a 3RZ swap in my pickup, but have since abandoned those plans. Both would need to be rebuilt, but should be great candidates if you’re an...

I have 2 spare Toyota engines that I’d like to get rid of to free up some space. A 1FZ-FE, and a 3RZ. Honestly, I don’t anticipate making a lot off of either of them. Does anyone know of an engine builder, or someone who’d like a spare engine to rebuild?

A lot has happened since the last post. I took the bike from 6v to 12v, just so bulbs would be easier to find, and cheaper. Next was to lube the cables. They seemed good, just dry. At the same time, the horn and the kill switch still didn’t work after all of the electrical changes, so that was...

First step was to get it street legal again. I found a used, but original tachometer for it…one that wasn’t held on by wire. Much better! Then I put new mirrors, a tail light and rear signals on, along with a new wiring harness. The old one was a chewed up rats nest. Thankful for a company...

I grew up in East TN, not too far from the Tail of the Dragon. Always thought it would be fun to ride a bike around, but the amount of bad drivers always kept me off of one. Since moving to Nebraska, things have changed slightly. My in-laws are really into riding, but it’s all straight roads...

Struck out. On the bright side, Impex now has a recently updated inventory I guess. The search continues.

I’m personally responsible for multiple websites adjusting their inventory to reflect that it’s been discontinued and can’t get it from the supplier. I forgot about Impex. I’ll give it a shot, thank you!

I was more referring to that oil pan working in swaps, but yes

Hmm…I’m pretty sure that’s the rear sump pan on the T100’s, which I currently have. I was told it wouldn’t work with IFS. Maybe it works with 2WD though, because you’ve clearly gotten it to work?
