    Rumble/Noise pattern between 50-75

    In case it's coming from the tires it should change with different tire pressure. Quick and easy shot. Did you try that? just reduce by 1/3 and/ or increase by 10-20% and see what happens. Sounds changes --> tires sounds doesn't change --> not the tires

    Always sad to see a Land Cruiser leaving. Always glad to see how this tank protects people! Glad your wife is ok!

    Good mechanic in Bay Area familiar with Land Cruisers/Need recommendation

    Not sure about his Land Cruiser experience, but can generally highly recommend Yarnell's in Mountain View. He only doing Toyota, Lexus, Acura, ... after warranty. Very calm and cool guy, doesn't repair what's not needed (once "denied" to swap in a new wheel bearing when the other side was bad)...

    Hello everyone new here. Question tow capacity

    An Explorer breaking with 4400lbs seems odd. Likely maintenance related and not really an apples to apples comparison. Same is eventually valid with another 25 year old car. search for "towing" and you'll find 100 thread about it. Here's one example. Overall summary: if nothing is bad with the...

    Buying a 100-series, need some advice on maintenance

    I'd say mainly suspension parts: bushings, ball joints, .... Also heater T's, brake master. There are also some threads here for maintenance topics. Look for baseline, baselining, ... things like that and you find a lot of lists on things to surely do, to can do and the most fun to want to do :-)

    Upper and lower control arm suggestions

    I have Dobinson's upper that are pre angled to fit 2.5" lifts. Wheel alignment worked nicely when you have the correct ride height.

    3D Printed Control Box

    I did it very similar to this, but just bought an electric box at Home Depot. Same Place, same idea. Main point for me when printing: thinking about holes to fix it in place in that place. I just wrapped some cushion around it and left in that place.

    Wheel speed sensor woes

    Sensor picks up the signal from the rotor right? Is it clean inside there?!

    Casting about for ideas: locating Anderson Powerpole SB175 for rear winch

    I keep my 7 pin connectors zip tied on the hitch and am able to remove it when I need it. Another idea for me would be to route it from under the rear quarter to behind the tail light and from there into the compartment of the tools/ car jack. This is how I routed my cable for the ecoflow...

    Custom tire swing-out build

    Nice! Does it just look like very close to the trunk or is it that close? Some swinging back and forth... ?!? Edit: and also taking it on/off the carrier...
