Update - 7/6/20 - Updated pictures attached and included in the provided link above. I detailed the truck over the weekend and the truck looks amazing.
For sale is my fully built 2011 200 Series LandCruiser. It has provided years 8 years of wonderful memories and never skipped a beat. I'm wanting to move on to another expo vehicle project and need to clear out the stable.
Asking Price: $55,000, price is somewhat negotiable however if you...
Fins n' things is a good cherry popper for those afraid to leave a little paint behind.... 8 years ago now I left a bunch of ARB black paint there from my rear bar - departure angles be damned in Moab...
Weighed in today at a svelte 7620#'s.... that's just daily driving weight. Without me and any fuel I'm guessing it sits right at 7300#'s. Fully laden with fuel and camping gear + family I'm guessing we're north of 8300lbs.... not including the camper trailer.
Combined MPG for me is 11-12MPG (dash readout) not adjusted for the 34" tire size.... rolling around at a svelt 7400# with maybe 15 gals of fuel. With me in it laden with fuel (65 gals) that # is likely just north of 8K#'s.
I drive somewhat like a hyper-miler being easy on the truck on the...
I ended up finishing the job yesterday and even though it was a royal PITA I have some piece of mind that it's done and that the new fluid/filter is in such better condition than what I took out of the system. I'll look to change it again in 60K miles. Truck seems to drive fine and no leaks...
BTW... a guy at the auto parts store turn me on to trying a razor blade to break the seal an inch at a time and it worked like a charm.... Took me 45 mins but it came off eventually. There actually wasn't any sealant used on the gasket.... the gasket was basically fused via heat cycles, pressure...
Man I just went through this pain today - broken rear corner bolt was a real PITA.... snapped the bolt extractor and spent about an hour trying to drill out the extractor but when I realized I'd be doing more harm than good to the trans-housing I quit.... my drill bits weren't a match for the...
For those of you who’ve dropped the pan - what’d you use to do it and how? I tried a few different tools ranging from putty knife/flat blade screw driver/ gasket knife + hammer and I still wasn’t able to pry the gasket from the transmission housing... it doesn’t help that the exhaust and...
no, sorry for not being clearer ... im referring to my brake lights built in to my ARB rear bar.... not that long ago I had my bar repainted which required un-mounting it and full disassembly and vice versa.... well I didn't notice until i got home that the brake lights were stuck in the on...
Ah - what to do to the 200 this week -
-- change engine oil -- easy
-- service transmission and replace fluid -- medium
-- troubleshoot electrical wiring issue preventing rear bumper brake lights from working -- PITA and procrastinating
