thanks to everyone for the replies. haven't been able to get under it in a while as I had to travel for work. I think my best bet is going to be taking it to an alignment shop to have them dial everything in once I get the rims and tires I will be running. and as far ass the coming loose and...

Recently installed a 3.5” dobinsin lift on my truck and was looking for some guidance on the control arm lengths and how to set up the arms to correct the pinion angle. I know the stock length for the LCA is 27.5” but have had a hard time finding any info for the UCA length. ( I do not have the...

Is the drivers door panel available ?

Turns out the alternator brushes were shot causing the battery to basically completely drain. Changed out the brushes and got the battery charged. Runs great now😊

I will check the maf connector and as soon as get back from work today and see what happens. Thanks for the advice.

This is what it is doing now: This is the same day right after I installed the exhaust:

Just some background info in case it helps. 1997 1fzfe 80 series 315k miles. Recently installed a new exhaust system which blocked off the EGR port. Ran fine for 3 min after the exhaust install then died and never started again. The motor turns over and it starts for about a half a second and it...

the only real cooling issues I've heard of are that it runs a bit hot at times depending on what you are doing with it. I would just like to keep the temps bellow 200 as much as possible no matter the scenario. But from what I hear it doesn't really seem to be an issue as long as the truck is...

So I recently blew the radiator in my 97 Landcruiser and am looking to take the time to do my best and "bulletproof" the cooling system as I've read its a bit of an issue on the 80. What are some solutions everyone else has found work best and what brand radiator has seen the best numbers and...

Add me to the list !!! definitely interested. santiagolau55@gmail.com

It had a new radiator and brake master cylinder on i y when I bought it but it does leak oil I’m thinking it’s the rear main seal after a thorough cleaning of the undercarriage I’m hopping to pin point where it’s actually coming from and addressing that.

Jajajajaj so I do my own wrenching and I intend to enjoy and own my cruiser for as long as I possibly can. At 300k miles my drivers side knuckle is wet and leaking so I’m just doing a full rebuild and hoping I don’t find anything else that needs addressing. I have looked at sliders and front and...

Again thanks to everyone for the solid advice and and showing some patience with me on this new venture of mine 🤣. I will definitely be posting here again with what I decide and hopefully receive some feedback from you guys.

Definitely seeing the 300k miles 🫠 but as I drive it more and more every day I am adressing those issues. Currently in the process of ordering parts to rebuild the front knuckles and taking care of the rust under the truck( mostly surface rust) and hopefully not too much else pops up.

Thank you to everyone for the replies. Not much care in the budget, it’s not my daily more of a project. Hoping to spend around 9k between tires, possibly rims and suspension. Based on the info provided by you guys i will most likely get some better tires for the stock rims and drive it as is...
