    Mr. Khar the Middle East 1998/1999 VZJ95

    It is getting late here. I will leave you with another bit of the game plan--a parts car I just picked up: Can you say 'upper ball joint'? @lostmind 's truck will mostly get trim from this vehicle. I really bought this to swipe the engine and related gubbins and tranny for my little tan 90...

    Mr. Khar the Middle East 1998/1999 VZJ95

    So the gameplan here is a rinse-and-repeat of what PowerHouse has done for me several times in the past: Replace EVERY bit of suspension rubber; do the timing belt and water pump, replace all the ball joints and wearing suspension parts, and get the car to the point where it will pass...

    Mr. Khar the Middle East 1998/1999 VZJ95

    Hi friends. I mentioned in the intro channel a couple of weeks ago bidding on a green V6 95. I was doing this for a good friend of mine @lostmind that I have somehow dragged into this crazy pastime, I am sure very much against his better judgment. Anyways we got it at a reasonable price and...

    Builds Oman -> SoCal 1995 FZJ75 Troopy

    I'd be real, real interested in the details and theory on how he got the tach to work. Everything from where the sensor is located and the why and how of the wiring. I've got three 70s where I am really missing having a tach

    New 90 series Members say hi here first. Chit chat ok

    Re doing your homework... well. I'm guilty of not doing that. Just bid on a 1998 impounded Prado and all I could look at were a few low res photos. I won't know if I snagged it for a couple of weeks.

    Builds Last of the BJs: 1989 GEN BJ60 restoration, 15B-T swap

    On the pillow block bearings, I did not see a way to remove them to replace them. Is there a way to do that? (I ended up really boning it up with Golden Boy's PTO getting the wrong shaft--probably I got a 60 shaft.)

    1998 Prado rescue mission!

    Today was a red letter day! The Little Prado finally has the missing trim from the rear wheel to the rear bumper installed! A big thank you to @t00manyuserz, my friend in Japan with a Middle East 80 he imported there at great trouble and expense, who helped me source the rear trim pieces...

    floppy register repair

    I don't know about you but I hate floppy HVAC registers in old cars. I've found that the side registers were available but not the center one. I did have one whose vanes were ok but up and down they flopped all over the place. The culprit was these little black bearing points: They were...

    a 1997 Omani diesel 80

    The Omani started life as a 1HZ diesel so the fuel lines all should be fine. That is, unless they are obstructed like those in the Holy Truck.... Thank you for mentioning this.

    a 1997 Omani diesel 80

    It has been a while since I last updated this. The Omani Diesel has taken a back seat to the Holy Truck (a petrol 80) because I am trying to ready the Holy Truck for shipment to Florida. Part of that was trying to figure out where we went wrong on the Terrain Tamer springs for the rears of the...

    Builds Golden Boy / was 'an as-yet unnamed gulf spec diesel 1991 HZJ pickup'

    I did buy the new rear bumper, and some sun shades. The bumper is easy to take apart and will go in my two rolling cases for my upcoming trip to Florida I also went ahead and got new rear indicator light boxes. Figured the one on Golden Boy may have gotten damaged. And I am replacing the...
