While wheeling over the weekend at dusy-ershim, my front caliper decided to fall off somewhere at the middle of Thompson hill ... long story short, I'm looking into upgrading the brake system on my cruiser. While searching, obviously few options came up (mainly old threads). However, one option...

JunkCrzr89 / Road Apple - Thanks! mudgudgeon, as you mentioned, mainly for weight control (it adds up fast)

Was trying my luck searching ... seems to be the same as with lottery :frown:.

Thanks for sharing, the 3D thread is inconceivable!

Tow hitch - was thinking of welding something as well .. not sure about rating though. With regards to speed, should re-gearing solve the issue? Swing arm - interesting solution you got there, only concerns is weight. Wondering if it's capable enough to hold large wheel with all the bumps we're...

Gotcha. Any recommendations for ODB2 gadget that does the trick?

Yet to do that .. but, when you say it's useless and: - most of the time it stays in the middle, - goes up when climbing a hill / idle - post fix it stopped going up when idle Should I just void that and try ODB when heat goes up?

Update What was done: Drain, clean and refill original fan clutch with 20K silicone Replaced Radiator w/ 'LILAND GLOBAL' from RockAuto Replaced water pump w/ 'AISIN' Replaced thermostat w/ 'AISIN' 170 degree So far (couple of months), there was only one time when the temp gauge start going...

Anyone makes such bumpers? 👇 Was looking at TG rear bumper but have two issue w/ it, lack of: 1. tow hitch, & 2. swing arm(s) option for spare Any suggested workaround or options?

Missed that .. Guess I'll be the reporting guinea pig. THANKS!

RockAuto only have 'LILAND GLOBAL' as all aluminum option. I already got the aluminum / plastic radiator and prefer to get one that's all aluminum. Since that particular one was not recommended above, wanted to see if this is it still a good option...

Based on above feedback, looking for recommendations on the following items: Radiator (aluminum? 4 row?) Thermostat (although replaced, maybe there's a more trustworthy item?) Ordered 20K CST silicone oil. On my TODO list: Replace radiator (w/ proper foam around) and possibly thermostat)...

Thanks for all the feedback. To clarify: Coolant always topped off (note - sometimes when turning off engine, coolant boils and comes out of reservoir tank) Fan clutch used as replacement - TOYOTA LAND CRUISER LX450 JDM SHIMAHIDE JAPAN PREMIUM FAN CLUTCH 16210-66020 | eBay Cap used as...

My rig got this heating while idle issue. As of now I've replaced the following: radiator, thermostat, fan clutch and radiator cap. Issue remains. Just back from the Rubicon and the only trick that helped keeping it cool was revving at around 2k RPM every time gauge start climbing up. Was...

IMHO the value is determined by the buyer, not seller. e.g. https://losangeles.craigslist.org/wst/cto/d/torrance-1997-triple-locked-lexus-lx450/7191824764.html
