Log your miles per smile or pucker factor due to vibrations. Fuel mileage is overrated!

Yes, as long as Bubba the local mechanic never touches it.

LOL. LA to Denver is not "cross country". It's a whole 1100 miles. That's a short trip. Check all fluids and the air in the tires before you leave. Bring a credit card and some snacks.

You will also not ever use a 13–mm or a 15–mm socket or wrench; they are not JIS automotive standard. Ratcheting 10–, 12–, 14– and 17–mm are the most common on the truck, if you're stocking your garage toolbox. The power steering and...

All true, except? When someone, repair shops typically, replace the JIS with DIN! That sends my OCD into overdrive!

Toyota tools are KTC (Kyoto Tool Company). So are these: You can buy them separately here. Toyota no longer sells them through dealerships, because Snap–On doesn't want to be botherd to carry someone else's tools. Megadora also sells JIS...

Yes, it’s insane what some consider value. But I suppose if you want to spend more for 2 seats than your truck then I guess so? I think a turbo kit would bring way more smiles than a “seat”!

Pretty much $10k for 2 seats…..hard not a chance, *** dat s***!

That was another hurdle. 3200 was with cloth and fake leather. I can’t make it make sense for me to purchase.

Not what OP is asking, but I replaced my OEM (cloth) seat cushions for $108 each from Amayama. Made a pretty significant difference and it was super easy.

I'll eat my own foot before I drop $3k on a car seat.

If you have money, yes. If you don’t, then no.

Your there, mine was the same. Just replace crank, distributor, oil pump cover, valve cover and spark plug seals. Done and done. Mine is still spotless clean after 25k miles after doing those.

I'd spend some time washing the engine first.

Ask who's been performing the repairs and maintenance, if not a known Land Cruiser mechanic then find one (or a local 4x4 club member) and have it inspected closely by someone who knows the 80 Series well. Don't be blinded by the Aura (or the...

Looking at my strips collection to make sure I have a full set or only the right side. Good thing is I have the two door on the right where the dent at. will be looking for the rest if i can...

Oh ya!!!!! 🤩🤌 Cheers

Rebuilt this, it’s the 2.2kw starter

the Di-Turbo looks better on the hood.

So this thread here…. https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/official-two-tone-thread.881472/page-4 gives a lot of inspiration and ideas. @Box Rocket and his skills as well!! My old v8 swapped FJ80, I liked the side accent work we did a lot. A...

Pics of full stuff after metal work. Cheers

And what problem is this solution going to address? The 80 valve cover has metal ridges that bottom out on the head so as to compress the gasket 'just enough'. So, once the valve cover has metal to metal onto the head, I'm not sure what the...

Credit to NKPGarage on Instagram I recently learned that Toyota has another valve cover bolt that can be used on our 1FZ-FE engines. I was told it has been used on a variety of Toyota engines to include the 2UZ-FE. The improvement looks to be...

Having just welded one lat year when I rebuilt my engine... bolt it down to a weld fixture securely before you weld, or it won't slide back on to the manifolds without a little love from a ports-power to straighten it back out. My long term...

This is great info!
