Trip to the NC-GA area over the 4th of July weekend. We went with two Cruisers, the '85 FJ60 (3FE swapped + H55F), and our '97 80 series. Boats were a 14' solo Mad River, a 16' Dagger Legend, and a cheap fishing kayak. We ran a section of the...

Installation of an 8274 on a TJM bumper on a Lexus LX450. When I bought the Cruiser it had a Superwinch X9, the winch worked sort of, not well. I had it off, cleaned all the contacts and wire ends, reinstalled and it still failed to function...

Posting the VIN here for future google searches: JT3HJ85J6V0172044 OP might not buy it, but someone else might do a VIN search on it. The "Experian AutoCheck Report" is 2 years old.

That is just a generic electric fan. I'd put the fan diameter in the title and remove 80 series as it would work with a lot of different series especially those with conversions. That will help you sell it more quickly.

Superwinch X9 is off the LX450. When I bought the Cruiser the winch worked sort of, not well. I had it off, cleaned all the contacts and wire ends, reinstalled and it still failed to function well. I need a winch I can depend on. The '77 FJ40...

Second tank after getting the 1FZ dialed in, 14.1 mpg.

Agree, plus Cruiserparts doesn't have the best reputation on sales.

Is this still available?

Putting it to work today cutting and dragging small trees. Toyota cup from @HemiAlex fits great in the console side mount cup holder.

After you run them a few days, couple hundred miles or so, recheck the torque. You may need to do this 2-3 times before you reach the point where re-torquing remains tight.

Actually on second look, the difference in thread length is pretty close to the shim thickness. I’m going to carry on.

Drove to Chattanooga on one tank of gas, filled up for the return trip and mpg calculation was 12.9. Reasonable fuel mileage for a Land Cruiser.

^This. I'm running two 80 series rear axle bearings in gear oil. For both I initially filled the axle housing until full, then parked on a slope and allowed gear oil to run into the hub. Reoriented the 80 to do the same for the opposite side...

Check for codes because if the CEL will give codes that will narrow down the problem.

My impression after having run 4 sets through all types of road and terrain, interstate, 2 lane, back road, dirt/gravel county roads, logging roads, sand, mud, rock in Alabama, Georgia, Arkansas, Missouri, Louisiana, New Mexico, Arizona is that...

Drove the LX450 to a meeting in Chattanooga, TN today. A total of ca. 250 miles knocked out and with the throttle body, TPS, and cables dialed in plus having the timing set properly it is running very good. Previous mileage with retarded...

You eliminate the bracket and rubber cushion and use a center bolt spacer that fits around the exposed center pin and within the larger hole in the spring plate Center Bolt Spacer - Stainless Steel - Fits 6x Applications (CROUTSSCBS) -...

so my son sees me wearing a very old carhart jacket, worn out cuffs, saddle blanket inside, says 6 months ago some guy wearing pants with elastic at ankles would have paid big money for your jacket. i said that jacket ive had for years, so guys...

I just mounted up a new set of 255/85/16s on my FJ60. I think this is the 4th set of G003s that I've had and generally get ca. 35-40k out of them.

This adventure is complete. Leg 4 of the great western adventure trip Compared to the great distances we traveled the last 3 legs, 615 miles does not seem like much but it was a lot of great riding in the San Juan range 5250 miles since we...

Finally have sorted out the poor running and idling issues with the Black Beast. On this throttle body note that the adjustable screws have paint marks from the factory. I removed this TB from our other 80 when I did an engine swap and the...

For the lower bolts I'll set the bolt in the socket that's attached to a long extension then use a light while aiming for the hole. I just take it slow and this has always worked.

Do you have a link for these spring plates?
