This and no more. Keep it simple so it will be a good daily driver, yet still capable for the wheeling you want to do.
Give it a good front bumper for frontal protection. Good body parts are in very short supply.
Truly. I just bought a blue door and fender in California for $500 got very lucky and it’s at Jorge (west side Landcruiser) place in LA
I really don’t wasn’t to have this get hit. Plus I live in the country and deer are rampant.
I call it...
Those aren’t 15” wheels. The photo above is my car and those wheels are in my shed. They’re 16x6 with 30 offset. I’ll see if I can find the part number tonight when I get home.
Small progress. I need to get out to California to get my fender and door
Just ordered a new windshield gasket feom ASR along with some small things. New urethane shifter cover, CDL switch and a locker switch (wishful thinking)
Also took my...
I’m looking for a used front bumper for an 80 series. Winch mounting is a must, can be arb or any of the low profile like slee or dissent. Doesn’t agent to be perfect. Can be scratches and dented.
I live in Texas and travel a lot. I can pick up...
Not a 100 series guy, but I guess I’ll be learning.
My father in law bought this lovely 98 from @samc2447 and he basically said yes to the entire dobinsons catalog til before he sold it.
I did 3" icon progressive springs that were used, and lower than 3", a set of bilstein 5100's, dobinsons sway bar drop kit, eimkeith panhard correction bar, slee brake lines and a set of 285/75-16 Falken RT's on stock wheels. I'm very happy.
It...
I have used the depos listed above and they worked just fine and where glass. I have a used set off my 95 that are in decent shape from when I went to quads.
I’m out in forest grove so local. Pm me if you’re interested.
Are these the Depos you're thinking of? I bought them in the past and thought they were a decent substitute for the OEM headlights:

You can also do OEM quads but that's a little bit of a...
Hey all - quick update to let everyone know that we have restocked the late model Global Market kits for the 90 Series.
Thank you for those who enquired about these kits and were patient while we waited for the connectors needed for them to be...
Hey everyone! Just letting all 90 Series owners know that I have now finalised the Plug-and-Play Keyless Remote Entry kits to suit 90 Series Prado's that came with factory central locking.
There are currently three versions of this kit. All...
Yes. They were already most of the way loose. I jacked it up to avoid preloading against the weight of that corner, backed them out, tapped the cap back in and torqued them up.
Thanks!
It has been around for a long time.
Admittedly, it fell into a condition that I am embarrassed to see. My mechanical focus on my 70 series, FJ40 and air cooled German cars pushed it too far down the list.
I have thinned the herd a...
We had a hiccup that distracted me at the final hour of a knuckle rebuild and I didn’t check Torrain before I drove it. Tool 1500 miles and 4 days of wheeling to come apart on the way back from moab. Completely my fault. All torqued to spec now...
Typical for a LHD application. The right hand steering arm loosens first. Most likely the studs were not properly seated in the knuckles, during reassembly, after the last service. The left side studs are almost certainly loose as well.
Check your nuts. Lesson learned. Fixed it on the side of the road, bought a new electric grease gun and got back on the road in Gunnison.
I smelled it before I noticed the pound of grease that came out. Cleaned up nicely for a road side repair...
Thanks for the suggestion! I will look into it.
I'm working on versions for early 100 series and Miatas currently. I'd like to do FJ62, but haven't found an fj62 locally.
