Don’t get the CSF. I know toast had an issue with one and I just pulled one out and it’s ruined. This is the lower rad inlet pipe and it crushed from me trying to get the hose off by hand. I was wiggling the hose up and down due to already...

Installation of an 8274 on a TJM bumper on a Lexus LX450. When I bought the Cruiser it had a Superwinch X9, the winch worked sort of, not well. I had it off, cleaned all the contacts and wire ends, reinstalled and it still failed to function...

This truck has changed a few hands since I sold it back in 2021, first buyer had it for a year or so then it popped up on eBay. Second buyer was a fella up in Phoenix who had bought it for his 16 year old son as a first truck, then it made it's...

Test the threads. Make sure the bolt travels the whole thread range using gentle thumb and forefinger pressure. Now the block needs to be thoroughly cleaned.

Cleaning up main and head bolt threads. Torque applied to these bolts is very important. Binding due to dimensional anomalies is counterproductive.

dont have much for specialty tools but I'm pretty good at shootin the s*** while we work on somthing, also have the basic tools and a driveway thats pretty well shaded if anyone needs help with something around Los Alamos

That's what I've been doing! Haven't had any fuel smell issues since. EDIT: Here's the check valve I used https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/NOE47170?srsltid=AfmBOoqRfzaLVJC84uCr-tQg1JG5TTyhWvTzLHKQ7bEtKpMFpyFvhta4BeQ&gQT=1

Special Mud price 10k ! there is at least 20k in upgraded parts on this monster I am selling "Patches" my 1985 Toyota Land Cruiser truggy build . I first saw this cruiser roughly 15 years ago as a bone stock rolled over fj60 with the roof cut...

After Ali helped me with the rear springs he educated me on coil spring suspensions. He had two suggestions. First, get skids on the trailing arms. Second, correct the angle on the track bar. As much as I give this fella crap for spending other...

I wonder if that is a common product- I got a similarly corroded set of rims cheap for rollers

Do not use a degreaser containing lye or other metal hydroxide on aluminum! These ingredients will eat/react with your nice aluminum parts. UGLY! These wheels were purchased this way. Good deal on the Dunlop tires though.

Toyota did not use 1/8 NPT on the 22R engine! Toyota used 1/8 BSPT. 1/8 NPT is not compatible with 1/8 BSPT. I had to build an adaptor to get my 1/8 NPT oil pressure gage to fit the 22r engine. Included are a few of the engine components...

Every comment on Mud re: Redline mt90 is highly positive. This is a new gear box, it will need some "break-in" wear.

Already? Where did July go??? 😖😖😖😖 I plan to be there

🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂 All the best to Mom and munchkin! Congrats @Mauser 👍👍👍

Thought i'd jump on this thread with the gnarly hail storm we had sat night. My shade sail now has a permanent pregnant belly! I shoved Beastie's hood under it but it's permanently stretched now. I'm guessing 200# of hail got caught, and of...

If you mean the Key switch, you normally turn the key to acc, then there's a small hole on the bottom of the cylinder. Stick a small nail or whatever in there and push, then pull the cylinder. But if yours is locked, it probably means the pins...

*taps mic* is this thing on.. minor change of plans. I recently bought an LX450 project (just what I needed) to spiff up and eventually sell and it came with this, and I won’t be using it in the LX :hmm: This should be a nice upgrade for my...
