    Check your plug wires (..at night)

    Agreed, that it’s an excellent idea to do the plug wire check at nite. @Lead Head

    Recommend a Cruiser Mechanic in your area

    @Turd Fergusson I’ve done business with them several times over the years & I totally agree with your comments. They do good work…BUT…in my opinion, their main attribute is that they are extremely trustworthy.🎯

    White rims or original steel with chrome hub cap

    Me?? I really like the black ones. And @charliemeyer007 has a good point.

    8/‘85 60 Steering box HOSE replacement is it required to bleed the system?

    Yep, on the 93, about 5 hours from home for me…in the LandCruiser.🙉 It certainly can & often is hot there but not so bad while we are there. 91* the Friday we arrive but only hi 70*’s by the time we leave on Monday. Nite time lows in the Mid to low 50*s which isn’t too bad as me & 1...

    8/‘85 60 Steering box HOSE replacement is it required to bleed the system?

    New hose is installed & so far so good. No leaks after a minor 30 mile test drive. The real test will be next weekend as I will be joining some friends on a 4 day camp out/wheeling adventure to the little town of Alamo, Nv.

    Anybody ever try these led Headlights

    @MiataDriver are you asking about a side by side comparison between the Koitos as they come from Toyota vs after I replaced their bulbs with the SL2 PROS. The Koitos as they come from Toyota are very good lights & for the price you just can’t go wrong. However, once I replaced their bulbs with...

    Some of these hiways have signs that word their warnings differently. Most say ‘watch for falling rocks’…and basically we know what that means…but some have the signs say ‘watch for fallen rocks’, which actually makes more sense.

    Thanks @cliffrdavis , no problem. I had Napa put a new rubber hose on. They had to cut off part of the end metal connections & then used some parts of my metal and also theirs…$98 out the door. Still haven’t put on the new/good hose yet, will get after it tomorrow. If my diagnosis of my...

    8/‘85 60 Steering box HOSE replacement is it required to bleed the system?

    @Godwin Jim I follow your post because you know what you’re talking about AND you always get right to to point… But my understanding is that a 62 steering box will fit on 4/‘85 and later fj60. So the box itself will fit…but not the hose from the pump to the box. The pump on the passenger...

    Wow! Thanks @cliffrdavis …just a bit late tho.🙉 It’s at Napa & I pick it up tomorrow. Napa has to cut my metal ends off & then they put their own connections on. I don’t really like the connections they use & could be interested in yours after all. How about please send me a PM with the...
