I just rebuilt a 2F and had the machine shop use their available kit so they could check fit and install cam bearings etc. Came with ITM camshaft. No problems after about 20k miles. The machine shop can resurface the solid lifters for a few bucks a piece. They said they are always machining...

Agree. Find a reputable machine shop. Just had the head rebuilt, engine bored, crank ground and polished (PO ran without oil and a rod came apart. Crank was bent and shop was able to straighten). They also can get full kits so they can fit bearings press rod pins and check ring gap after...

I’ve used this one but with stock bumpers. It’s long but works great. Try it and return it. Probably all made by the same factory. Tecoom Heavy Duty Multiple Layers...

Take the valve cover off. Went on a trip with some guys driving an old truck with a v8 in it. checked oil when he left and it was fine. started rattling down the road, pulled over and nothing on the dipstick. added four quarts. by the time he checked it again it was overfilled. took it to...

I even mentioned to the parts guy is they offered a discount for any land cruiser club members and he knocked a little more off and didn't even ask to see anything.

My '86 had the same short problem when I wiggled the harness. Took it apart and almost every solder joint had come apart. Looks like it was cold soldered. I cleaned it up and did a quick solder job and it's a good as new. I went ahead and added a little grease as well. From reading the...

Recently contacted my local Toyota dealership and they said they could get it to the store, out the door for $280.

I would. Use a name brand just in case. I used noico on several vehicles and have had great luck with it. can’t use mlv because it’s to heavy. the stuff they use is expensive but good.

I was cleaning up and found some info we used for my son’s build. This was a great site and had loads of info. They have since retired and left the website up for a while to access the info. It has since been removed. Mods, if this is against the rules please do what’s necessary. We did all...

I don’t remember hexomat having dark grey. I bought the black like the poster with the pics. I have the full one piece passenger to cover the middle. Looks great.

Hexomat has the one piece. It’s listed for earlier models for some reason. I actually talked to hexomat to get the info. You have to slightly trim a piece off for the passenger heater on an ‘86. Don’t get the dark grey from Lloyds. I already tried that and posted some pics. Very light. They...

Drill a hole or use a self tapping screw, insert the screw and put in a vice and pull out. Come out pretty easy.

Do it. See my thread about it. It's easy to do and plugs are easy to find. A parts washer will not clean it out. Get a 12 gauge shotgun cleaning brush, and use a drill to clean it out with lots of carb cleaner and air. Not only filings but carbon buildup can't get out of the small holes that...

Thanks, guess I'll just take the cluster out again.... Did you find a dimmer bulb that's not so bright?

Been searching all the forums so now I'm trying this one. Installed the same conversion. Easy. Looks great. great quality. Bright lights. But, my high beam indicator isn't working. I have replaced bulbs. Have been reading all the threads about needing a third relay to power the high indicator...
