Check Old Coleman Parts - they may have Kamp Kook repro labels. They have most everything for the vintage stuff,

Almost? Do you have to be 21 to vote in Arizona? How about wait 'til 2027 and buy it a shot. :rofl: @fj80T I played around with 10k and 15k oil, and I felt 15k was too abrupt - the 10k is still variable. I'm actually thinking about backing mine...

This one is my favorite. Its called the wife was out shopping with the mother-in-law while i'm trying to fix her damn car technique. Classic

Open Sesame Have someone push down on the hood (with good force) then, while they are pushing down, pull the hood release. Hold the hood release and then have them lift the hood.:popcorn:

July 22 of next year, we should throw a 20th birthday party for this thread. 🎂 It'll be almost old enough to vote DRINK!

Don't get me started on RockAuto... 😤

The packaging only has to be good enough to get it where it needs to go without damage. If the radiator isn't damaged, then Mission Accomplished. Otherwise, you'd be paying $500 for a radiator that arrived in a Pelican case. Remember that this...

YES! They're always worth getting up and running (*just maybe not worth it to you...).

I'd put the air nozzle on my compressor, blow it off, and get to installing it as long as there's no obvious mechanical damage. But thats me,

Two is one, and one is none...?

Why is hers on a trailer?

I came up with a repair for my leaking sunroof that I thought would be useful for the community. My sunroof seal had seen better days. It leaked during heavy rainfall and had a pretty bad wind noise on the highway. I looked into a replacement...

Brought dinner to friend momentarily at St. Joe's on Wednesday. As I was wrapping up an absolute slaughter of short ribs, it started to trickle, with some distant electrobooms making themselves known. Fifteen minutes later, at the main lobby, it...

3,000 miles of mostly highway? Nothing except gas money

I have done a lot of remote solo travel, and the only major parts I carry for an 80 is a fuel pump and a PS high pressure hose. (never needed) You can work around a lot to get home, but without a fuel pump, you are not going anywhere.

Watch out for mountain lions, right @Saddletramp & @Highway Romping ? (*...The cougars tend to stay in Scottsdale!)

We are an all inclusive group. Plus, we we love to recover non-Toyota vehicles. :rofl:

On two different occasions, I filled my 100 up in Sedona. About 3/4 of the way up the switchbacks, gas was boiling out of the gas tank via the filler tube. Needless to say, I did not do it again. Not a very exciting story, sorry.

stage 1 weight reduction

You have to unplug everything electrical connector, blow it out and let it dry out.

If you already know fitment is a problem, why would you reuse it? Having worked through overheating issues, I would be using ANY size replacement that fit properly. Having that tube submerged in overflow coolant is critical to sucking coolant...

I live in the middle of the Sonoran Desert. It was 118F here yesterday...

I can't be the only guy who showed up here thinking I somehow need a Fuel heater on my GASOLINE 1FZ-FE, and neglected to educate myself on this often overlooked 80 feature, right?

I can get some pictures up next time I'm working on it. The FJ80 mounts mimic the original Toyota ABS computer mounts. Some 80's will need holes drilled to mount it, but it puts it in a great location where Toyota didn't mount anything else...

Window Rockets are in stock. This Window Rocket fits LHD and RHD 80 series made with ABS brakes. Final assembly has been streamlined. Trimmed some labor here and there. Lowered some of the parts costs with higher volumes. The new price is $265...
