To be clear, everyone should do what they feel best for there own Rig. By no means am I trying two tell people how to maintain there rig and I'm no authority on blown head gaskets. Any statements made by me are solely My opinion and we all know...

Good night Sir, sleep well.

Correct. Mine was not done as P/M.....it simply failed before I had a chance to get to it....but that wasn't the point of my reply. I'm simply submitting that for 'some' people it could make good sense to replace it before it fails. I am not...

I am one that 'can' see it being a viable Preventative Maintenance item for some people. But before explaining what I mean by that....let us consider some unique aspects of the Land Cruiser that might cause an owner to consider replacing items...

Been a couple of months now since I ditched my LSPV (and ABS). BEST thing I ever did for my brakes. I installed a proportioning valve (under hood) and played with settings a bit, but since I always have 500 lbs of stuff in the rear, it was...

Will there still be Cold Beer? Please say yes........ :beer:

it depends, on what you count as a rebuild. Is it a rebuild if you bore the cylinders? Do you bore the cylinders even if they don't need it? Toyota makes 2 oversize pistons. So, if each "rebuild" has to use the next oversize pistons then that's 2...

342K and original CATS on mine.

Off with the janky $20 cover, on with the Loncky. My learnings: Easier with the steering wheel off, worth the 10 minutes it takes to pull it. Start with more thread per section than you think you need. They include a ton. First piece I did I...

Maybe it was TWO trips (4,000 lbs each trip). ;)

^^^^ My left rear tire was visibly 'low' last week. I put some air in it.....and it came back up. Can you believe that? I swear its true.....!

Yes, that's what he said: "Well I broke down and added a quart of oil. Light is staying off, and oil level is about 3/4 of the way up the hash mark zone."

All I know is Cdan was able to sell me two of them (years ago) when I needed them....no problem. Can't imagine things have changed any (with respect to being able to purchase SST's).

M8x1.25 they are also captive split washers on the nuts.

The oil level sensor is a small 'float'at the end of an arm (see below). IF the actual oil level (per the dipstick) is correct then pulling the sensor and cleaning it can free up a 'sticky' float. Most sensors are leaking oil from the seal...

This ^^^^^ Check your oil level.

Correct cap:

Question 1: A non-factory equipped Cruiser just lacks the bulbs in the dash panel (for illumination), those can be added. Question 2: The factory selector switch can be used with aftermarket lockers to activate them. Takes some wiring...

Close to 200K if memory serves. I have 340K on Cruiser now. The one on my LX470 @ 100K was just about as bad and had some 'sludge' in it. We have some questionable gas stations around here (small town USA). No telling what is in the...

Depending on year model some have a single hose nipple, others two.

I am an accidental Rancher at best. I have a tractor because my wife has horses :) Thought we bought a small farm, was told I am a rancher, not a farmer, OK. Funny part is, to get all my AG stamps in order we became a tree farm. Hands down...
