This 👆 100%. of course, YMMV

I ran a Spartan in the rear diff for a few years. At the time I was looking for a bit more traction off road while keeping reasonable manners on road (I rarely drive in snow). The Spartan was a great bang for the buck. Only took it out because I went with front and rear lockers and also...

Been dealing with a shaky mirror for awhile. Was about to break down and do the zip tie hack but this is such a simple and well thought out product. Purchased! 👍

I love my second battery as a way to isolate all the add-on electrical crap I've added (and plan to add) from the main vehicle electrical system. Maybe not an absolute need, but it satisfies my brain's desire for organization. If a second battery in the engine bay was a no-go for the turbo, I'd...

I've never soldered without a crimp.

This is what I need. The wire broke off from the pin. What size/type is the pin? I am assuming it is a standard Toyota size that is used throughout the truck. I wouldn't mind getting a bunch to have on hand when needed.

so at risk of necroposting, where is the best place to get the right connectors and pins for our Toyota trucks? On my oil sending unit wiring harness, one of the wires broke off from the pin in the connector. I know how to take the pins/wires out of the connector, and I've taken the connector...

For those interested, I was able to do some testing the other day and swapping the wires worked. Basically, I swapped everything that was on the AUX battery in the user manual, which shows on the drivers side in the diagram, and put it on the passenger side. I then put everything that was on...

Many of you are familiar with the the IBS Dual Battery System. I've had one on the shelf for awhile and just now getting around to putting it in my truck. It's straightforward to set up. I'm planning to put the the relay on the driver side upper firewall of my 80 series Landcruiser. I also...

About ready to do the caliper swap. Any special tools for the job? Flare nut wrench? If so, what size is needed for the 80 series? I haven't needed to mess with the calipers before and this is the first time I'm bleeding the brakes myself. Finally, for the DOT 3 brake fluid...any...

Thanks for the recommendation Beno. Can anyone familiar with the NAPA calipers chime in on a few questions? I recently purchased the NAPA Eclipse Calipers. By higher pressure gaskets does Beno mean the copper washers? Seems like a copper washer is a copper washer, so why would I need to use...

Maybe answering my own question: Early 1FZ Fan Clutch (Black/Blue Hub)

set to open at 125° ? Is that when these clutches open when stock? The blue fan clutch I thought should be mod'd to open at 95°F. Any reason for the Eaton to be different, or is that what works best for you when running either the blue fan clutch or eaton clutch? Just curious how you came...

Interested. Please add me to the list.

I have a 97 LC. Seems like there's foam of some sort under the leather, correct? Mine is so worn that some of that material is damaged as well. I think I would have to get a used core with this cushioning material still in place, then re-skin with this kit, correct?
