The Spare Tire "Wrench? is a 3/8 Male Extension. Ask your Neighbors if they have some 8-12" and you can get it down. If it Resists put a 1/2 Ratchet and reduce down to 3/8" Toyota knew exactly what they were doing when they made it Square...

The Dealership is Maintaining the Car Mahal. The Free Coffee is Never Free and they will R#pe your Wallet. Despise the place but I go there for under $20 Parts. Everything else I get online. **Wait till you find out about Techstream used to...

Yeah, thanks to you all for talking me out of it.

I'd just wait it out and Paint the Whole Thing in Factory Color. Paid $500 to have my Hood Repainted and I could not be Happier.

3FE, semi-float, drum brakes, rust = $8k at most. This isn’t Covid.

An update from when I first posted... I replaced the main engine wire because I was thinking there was corrosion in the wire. After I did that, issue still happened. I then took it to a starter specialist shop in town. They looked at it, and...

I just used the grease provided in the rebuild kit. I have a video on how to rebuild the calipers.

The rebuild went great. Thanks for the advice everyone.

And by properly I assume you are meaning they have their own sealant to use. It needs to have sealant. You can use polyurethane roofing sealant. Toyota recommends sikaflex 256HV https://forum.ih8mud.com/attachments/inst-pdf.390538/

It's not the Cruiser that counts, it's the friends.

I worked at Brake Manufacturer and we used Brake Fluid (DOT 3 at the Time). All the Seals were NBR so anything Compatible would Work. The Piston and Piston Area need to be Absolutely Clean.

I've been using Amsoil moly grease for all the rubber and metal parts. Probably for the last 15 years or so. The little packets that Toyota provides isn't enough to do it the way I like. All rubber, all pistons, all slide pins, back sides of the...

Stopped at a random gas station in Brighton, found this dusty bottle on the shelf. :)

Heat is a battery killer. Here in AZ you are lucky if you get 3 or more years out of a battery. When we lived in San Diego batteries would last well past the warranty period. When I was growing up in Oregon I can not recall my dad ever...

Coolant Application Sheet

@Engineer8000 might be able to work his circuit board magic if you are dealing with a problematic unit. There will most likely not be an interchangeable part that would be a direct fit. There will most likely be wiring changes needed to...

It's Premixed Coolant - Do Not Add Distilled Water Unlike Toyota Concentrate

China*Mart has Asian Vehicle Coolant Marked Down from $18.94 --> $6.50. Same Chemistry as Toyota Red - If you think Toyota makes Coolant, Batteries, & Tires I'll let you believe it. If you drain your 80 Radiator and overflow tank it will hold...

yes the diesel has an oil pump o-ring too but it's located between the oil pump and the engine block. it's a ton more work to replace then the gas engines. it could be the cause though, could also be crank seal, injection pump seal, timing cover...

I’m starting a new parts company called Denzo.

Wire Wheel/Brush and put a Gallon or 2 of Fluid Film ($45 Amazon) on it. Make sure you get thick in the Frame Rails! Touch Up Annually. Spray with a Astro Sprayer ($30 Amazon) with Compressed Air (Compressor) You will never Regret it - Promise.

If any one is interested in meeting up, Emily and I will be in Death Valley bikepacking/hiking/camping for about 10 days. Tentative Itin is to do the Northern Loop (Eureka Dunes, Dedeckera, Steele, Saline, Lippencott, Racetrack); then a...

The Thread you Show is Gas 1FZ-FE Engine Oil Leak. Well Known and Documented - Dizzy (distributor) Leak, Crank (Crankshaft) Leak, Oil Pump Leak. Is your Truck a HDJ81 - Diesel?

I have 4 Toyotas and they all get Costco Batteries. **Costco has every Purchase on your Card you made there at the Customer Service Desk, so you will need Luck Returning one you did not buy there. I live in Ohio and my DD Corolla has a...

I see you are using Snap-off tools.:p
