What’s new @KOWBOY ?

Only if they are standard load. If they are LT, there are inflation tables for figuring out the proper load pressures. Usually the min for LT tires is 35psi, but Landcruisers are heavy and often require more....often into the 40s to meet the OEM...

They might just be that.....maybe you can use them to secure a rope lock to....basically a ratchet strap but rope it seems.

Well, it took a LONG time but the next part install finally happened. I waited for these parts to show up from ARB. They were on back order and had to ship from AUS. Anyways I got the steps and fender guards installed. This was kind of a pain...

Added some hubcaps. Thought I had a full set but had 4 open and only 1 full. Looking for a patina’d full.

Add a few from the last little outing (Tar Hollow Area in Ohio)

Dig-Dug turned 17 years this past weekend

Yes, but a couple caveats. I used a Gates 36174 which is the same as the lower idler pulley. The bolt is LH thread and being a Gates pulley is important because there is a sleeve that has to be removed to fit the tensioner if I remember...

Sometimes I think about this thing. 2.5s are out; Carbon Shocks Technologies has got to be the biggest disappointment of the year for me. Leaking res out of the box, machined parts not uniform (appears to be a parts loading issue, which is REALLY...

I just installed this 3" lift 3 Inch Lift Kit Toyota Fj Cruiser + Front Control Arm + Rear Adjustable Panhard Rod + Rear Link (2007-16) - https://proshocksuspension.com/producto/toyota-land-cruiser-fj/ I did a sitewide search and only found 2...

Viair behind the panel. Running hose to the rear bumper. Have only tested in driveway but seems to work fine. Switch protected form dogs etc behind ashtray opening. Popped in a sub while I was at it. None of it is visible.

My 1987 has quite a few missing and worn-out rubber parts that are either expensive or unobtainable. One by one, I have been re-creating them using Solidworks and my 3D printer. Parts are made with TPU, which is polyurethane. They hold up well...

So would it work to pop the piston out and reinsert it fixing the outer boot?

It’s been insanely hot around here the last few weeks. My barn is also a little crowded and getting in and out often required moving another cruiser. However, I am happy to report that my blue 45 series has been sold and will soon be heading off...

If dealer can get the OEM Reman axles, they seem fine. I just replaced an aftermarket CV with one in my FJC. The Duralast (or whatever aftermarket) junk only lasted maybe 15k miles. Pitiful. Also did not articulate all the way like the OEM ones...

I noticed that there are a couple things we've done with the truck since my last post. First off, I had found a great deal on a new Lock-Right locker for a Tacoma 8.4 diff a couple years ago. I bought it thinking I'd just hold onto it for a...

Welcome!

I thought id share something with you all, couple of months ago i had a code from my ultragauge, (cant remember the number) but when googled saying throttle stuck open which put the var in limp mode. I had a planned to on a 1000km round trip...

They sell sway bar relocation spacers for $30ish that help with that problem.... That said sometimes with these older massive coilovers the manufacturer did recommend removing the sway bar. (not sure the spacer idea had been developed yet) I...

Late Apex does amazing work....he isnt cheap though. https://www.facebook.com/LateApexMotorsports/ Other guys seem to like Wheel Medic....I think they have various locations.

I believe the word is humble, not boring. Thats a plus IMO

LHD, barn door, rust free, slider rear windows.... oh yea!
