I have the part number in my spreadsheet with things to order, but I superglued the old one for the time being. Less borderline, more high functioning:rofl: The plan is to try and get 600,000 miles on the 3FE before I ever consider a swap. I'll save the LS swap for my FR-S and go for a 1/2UZ...

I bought a wire knot cup brush and a jug of Klean Strip concrete and metal prep for the floor, but I haven't started that project yet. I went to my first INLC meeting in July and won a pair of socks. I got my 3D printed speaker adapters mounted. I have a darker grey ABS filament to try out that...

I got home from work Thursday and noticed that the passenger side floor was soaked. I took the hose off under the glove box and shot compressed air through it, put it back together, no more drips. I haven't noticed it doing this, but I have been driving my truck more because the AC in my FR-S...

I just did my belts. I followed this video along with the Toyota repair manual and it was super easy.

I finally got the Wolfbox dashcam that I got for Christmas partially installed. After mocking up some designs in FreeCAD, I realized that I was overcomplicating the mount and just designed something to use the stock rear view mirror mount. My stock mirror smelled like old stale cigarette smoke...

I bought some Alpine Type E 6.5 inch speakers for the doors. They don't fit at all, and none of the models on Thingiverse/Printables look like they'll work. Luckily, I've been bored enough to teach myself how to use FreeCAD. After watching a few tutorials, I clicked on things until I had...

I drove home and the code went away. I'm going to check the O2 sensors and see if I can clean them. I don't remember buying cheap fuses on Amazon or Harbor Freight. Maybe it was something the previous owner left in the truck, and it was corroding. Is PEC the OEM? I notice that the rest of the...

Check engine light came on. Engine is running fine, so I assumed O2 sensor. Checked the code 2 flashes then 8 flashes (Code 28). Which O2 sensor is that? Manual says number 2, but all I can find is left or right. I'm going to clean it and see if that helps. I was going to pull the EFI fuse for...

Let me know if you find one.

I wrote a draft a while back, saved it, and couldn't find it, so it never got posted. I went ahead and put the new OEM belts on and went to the dealership and bought a new tensioner bolt. I made sure the new belts had about a half an inch of play and tightened everything up. This seems to have...

After spending some time looking at parts diagrams and pictures of the alternator with the smog pump removed, I figured some things out. The parts in question are in the Radiator & Water Outlet diagram. I remembered finding 16381C (17317-61020) sitting under the hood, so I put it in a box with...

I had a little time to work on it this weekend. I got the drive belt off. The belt looks fine, but I have Toyota Genuine replacements, so I might just hang on to them depending on the condition of the other two. I went to remove the alternator belt and the first bolt was loose and the other one...

I need to read the service manual and figure out what I need to troubleshoot. I drove to my parents' house Sunday, which is a little more than an hour drive. I took the backroads since I have a plug in the tire (Hagerty is my spare tire right now 😬) and I wanted to be able to pull over if the...

While my Land Cruiser was in the garage, I decided to let scope creep take over and flushed out some of the old fluids. I drained both diffs, the transfer, transmission, and power steering fluid. Transfer case fluid was black, back diff looked slightly better, but there was a bit more metal on...

I got one from CruiserParts.net last year, I had an okay experience with them. The tube twists if you don't have a wrench on the other side of the valve when loosening. I used a lot of PB Blaster.
