Here's some more pictures of the '78. Plate steel everywhere... Under the plate steel. I got a couple of free snakeskin sheds. Keep/Sell pile. Scrap pile.

Only springs and shocks?

Sorry, when I meant NEW Tacoma I was waiting for a remaining 2023 TRD Off-Road to be built and shipped. That Tacoma stickered at $44,000. At the time, GX550 Overtrails are $69,000 +. Our current GX isn't a daily driver. It was difficult enough...

@MrTorgue @Roody 1972 Toyota Celica... 😎

That's awesome! 2T-G? I had a '72 Corolla years ago. It wasn't DOHC though...the 2T-C was no powerhouse!

Late last year I decided to sell my 2004 GX and "upgrade" to a 2023 Tacoma TRD Off-Road. Well, I changed my mind around December 11th, when the dealer called to tell me the Tacoma had arrived. I had pre-purchase regrets about no V8, all that...

Well I haven’t posted in a while cause I’ve just been having a blast just driving the rig around with all smiles. But I gotta get back into getting some extras installed for everyday driving or longer trips. I installed this charging port on the...

Well...I'd start with a new expansion valve...and consider a new receiver/dryer as well. No voodoo in replacing those items.

Just an FYI from my days at the Toyota store, see if a local shop will pressure test the evaporator core. If you hate doing dash work, you surely don't want to do that again if the system gets recharged and the evaporator has a leak. You can...

Looks like the Honda/Toyota dealer in SoDo...

You have to also take into the account that the majority of those likely looking to upgrade are not enthusiasts like us. If the used market is any indication, my theory is that the people of new GX customers are coming out of their 460s/470's...

Parnell Jones tires! Wait...Parnelli who? 🤣 Can't wait to see the progress on this one.

Hello all, long time lurker, first time member here at mud. Current project is a 1969 FJ40. I'm resealing the motor, doing a 60 series front disc conversion, upgrading the aging suspension, and I'm hoping to put electric power steering on this...

Not quite done with the whole heater refurb but, I did reinstall the box to clear some workspace on my tool box. These heater pipes were looking a little ragged, so I cleaned them in my solution and refinished the insulation with heat shrink...

Ready for the next step! Georg and I keep slaying this Orion build. Things start to get wild as the nasty California hurricane lands directly on top of Valley Hybrids. A hooved demon ran across the roof. And a band played drums. All of this...

Wanted to start a build thread for my FJ40. 40's have always been my favorite car. My wife and I first saw this one by an animal shelter that we volunteer at. After weeks of driving past it I finally left a note on the windshield and got my...

Was just about to say...anything Toyota you touch turns to gold! I'll be following along with your adventure. A 40 is on my bucket list as well. Nice clean example you found!

I was just teasing. It's progress...but still tough for those of us that still appreciate a good IC engine. Related content: I really like your GX build and have set my shopping list goals up in a similar fashion. I really like those wheels too!

So called car guy/automotive journalist rocks a battery powered mower 🙄🤣

Wait..what? There's a Cruiser parts person here on the peninsula? Do tell! I'm right smack in between Bainbridge Island and PTT.

Try a pick or small screwdriver on the release tab.

Scripted or not, this is how new vehicle intros work. The mere fact that TMS even had Kurt there is a testament to their commitment of FINALLY acknowledging the enthusiast market. Instead of ignoring the off road subset and putting everyday...

Thank you for allowing me to register, My latest project is my 76 fj40 I have owned for 12 years. Already came with a 350 installed out of N Carolina. Decided to start the refresh. I have come here often in the past but had nothing contribute...

Started seeing the value of knowing how to work on these things yourself and did a couple items that needed doing. The little crack in the top of the radiator was emerging, so swapped radiator, water pump, rad hoses. Also did spark plugs and...
