I just pulled a set of sk20r11 plugs out of mine in the baselining process. They worked and looked fine. It’s a great option to go with. Denso plugs will be great. Don’t get the auto zone specials.

Just completed this repair this afternoon. I believe it was the original bracket and failed at 300k. Getting to the bracket isn’t hard in the front. The bolts above and below the compressor are another story… once you find the angle that works, it’s easy money. I noticed the fan wobble and...

What are the specs on the rear differential for a LJ79 and how does it compare/swap with what’s on the 80 series? There’s a sweet looking 79 local-ish but the issues is a busted rear diff due to fluid loss. Says the gears are toast. I have a complete 3rd member for a 9.5” with an e locker for...

@Malleus I was in a pinch so I searched for bolts that fit that pattern and found this at the local advance. Seems like the necked down cone fits where the cone washer fits. It fit perfectly and went in without any resistance. So until my new stud set arrives, this is keeping all the moly...

Yeah for sure! Definitely getting some extras. My issue is that the entire stud has backed out and it’s an open hole for the moly grease to leak out. Anyone got a spec on a bolt or something to plug it for the time being?

Well it almost got me! I had a knuckle arm coming loose on my passenger side. Caught it just in time! My question is, does any one have info on a replacement stud/cone washer/nut that I could find locally at Napa until my real stud kit arrives? I don’t want to ride around on 3 for too long..

You caught me thinking about it! I’m going to be out of town for work that week.

I scored a couple LS400 shades from the local pick and pull for cheap but they were tan. Swung by napa and found a vinyl spray paint in a gray that matches close enough with the dash. They sit super tight with the roof line! No sag! I think the rosens are the goal one day but for now, the 20...

That’s a great option too. DM me when you get them back in!

Thanks Charlie, that LS400 is about the only other option I’ve seen. I’m going to hit the pick and pull locally for those if they’re available. Ideally the option I would want would look like one of the Rosen visors with out the insane price tag.

So my passenger side visor just bit the dust over the weekend… they didn’t sag, but the plastic bracket finally gave out one hot day. My question is, what are some good replacement options. I know the rosen’s are the best, but also that’s the most expensive visor I have ever seen. I have an 94...

Yeah man, ended up pulling the whole NSS out and blowing out the inside and connector with contact cleaner. Also hit the contacts inside with a high grit sand paper just to make sure they had good connection. Totally fixed my problem. It even made my D light work again! It was much easier...

Thanks to everyone who posted, this helped a ton. Quickly narrowed my problem down to the tail light relay. I’ve had this issue intermittently and I think the culprit is the crappy auto zone relay I bought in one of my past repair attempts. OEM it is. Quick fix for me was to swap the horn relay...

Long time listener, first time caller. I’m in Africa right now and I had to share some of the awesome cruisers I’ve seen!

Following. I have the same issue. Same little tear on the tie rod boot. I'm at 290k. It's usually only one single sound... Almost like a pop for me. It only ever happens in a tight turn, like going in/out of a parking spot, or a turn w/ some compression.
