A few maintenance items have piled up and I simply don’t have time to bang them out. Any suggestions for good shops or mechanics in the Phoenix area? I called a few place about doing lower ball joints and all of the shops wanted to replace the whole lower arm, which I know isn’t necessary...

Anyone have any luck with this? I’m having the same issue.

Wow. I honestly had no idea. Thank you very much

Anyone have a lift I can use for a couple hours? I need to install new torsion bars and I really don’t want to do it on my back in this heat. Happy to pay cash or beer. Thank you

Hello everyone, A few years ago I had the desire to get into off-roading/over landing I work in the auto industry and through my conversations about building a rig I was told by multiple people I respect that a 100 series land cruiser was the rig I should build. I wanted a 70’s bronco or...

I didn’t even know MUD had an area for AZ cruisers until @medtro sent me the link. When I saw this thread I figured someone had maybe seen my cruiser in its “being built” stage in the last two years. Hard to believe i found a post only a few months old.

haha this was me. Too funny. Rig has a bumper now 🤣

@flintknapper yes that pretty much where mine is at. You really don’t have a choice, it’s either there or 180 degrees in the opposite direction because The key has to be in ACC or else the plunger won’t depress and you can’t get the tumbler into the housing.

I’m having a bear of time with this repair and Ive assembled and disassembled the ignition about 5 times just to try different things and I’ve had two issues, 1. car starts, steering wouldn’t unlock. 2. I turn everything 180 - which unlocked the steering wheel, reassembled and car won’t start...

So I’m trying to figure out how to protect my fenders once I install a 2 inch OME lift and 35x12.5, zero off set wheels/tires. Can anyone confirm that the wheeler or Timbren bump stops stop the suspension travel enough to avoid contact?

Ive had my 1998 cruiser for exactly two years and I’ve finally finshed most of the major mechanical maintenance. T-belt, valve gaskets, plugs, coils, Radiator, alternator, power stealing pump, Rack and pinion, dif bushings Next on my list is the suspension, bumpers, roof rack, wheels ect. All...

I’ve read through several of these threads and is been mentioned that the Odometer and Speedometer can be calibrated for larger tires. What is that process and or parts? I’m likely moving to 35’s and re-gearing to 4.88.

So I’m really not a fan of the wheel options I’m seeing in the US. Any reason the 16”x10, 5x150 negative 44 wheels sold in Australia wouldn’t work on a US 100 series? I’m talking to a guy that runs these on an LX in Australia and his LX has IFS like the US 100 series.

Looks great man! Are those 17” or 18”? any rubbing issues? Lift details? @sholie

It is a 105, but I was hoping the brain trust here would know where to source wheels like this. I’m really not a fan of much on the market, maybe methods, but I’m still not in love with them.
