Does this button engage "100-Series Drift Mode"? I've heard good things about those V8s...

It’s more of a splash guard and air channeler. I declare it necessary.

If it helps you sleep better buy a cheap Chinese new unit and keep it in a box on the shelf. Call your attorney and have them add a section to your will which instructs your descendants to use the Chinese alternator in case of failure while a...

What's that old saying...? "If it ain't broke, fix the hell out of it while you're in there and don't forget to change your head gasket"? I'd keep a spare (OEM), but if the one you have is running fine - leave it alone.

Sold. never used CSC trasharoo $40

You think he'd try to operate her without lube? :rofl:

Just for the record, you probably want to avoid giving this "friend" access to your girlfriend / wife-unit, investment or bank accounts, along with anything else you might value. Feel free to show him this thread. 😁

If you have a temperature gun, you can also compare temps across your wheels and brake rotors & calipers to see if you have a dragging brake. Also, check that your Parking Brake lever is completely down and not dragging. Apart from that, take a...

To be fair, these things were sluggish out of the box. I mean, I got gapped by a friggin' Amazon van today.

Have you worked on anything under the hood or dash recently? Most times, these are due to shorts in wiring harnesses that require immediate attention. The HOT relay that you removed - do you have any spares you can swap in to see if thats...

Help get the oil down faster?

Radiator, Radiator Cap(s), water pump, thermostat(s), Radiator Hose sets, Toyota Red coolant - if that's what's in it now. Apart from that I'd also get some spare common Relays and blade fuses to have on-hand. Deivetrain & Suspension-wise...

Welcome aboard, number Six-Hundred and Seventy! Let's see some pics of that 2025 LandCruiser,

Please welcome our newest member Charles (#670) to CopperStateCruisers. Charles has a 2025 Land Cruiser (Formerly 2014 FJ) and resides in Northern AZ. Charles, can you tell us more about yourself and your cruisers?

Going to Flagstaff this weekend and I plan on scouting camping spots along 231. I will post up what I find. Going to run it on 9/6 or 9/7.

Yup, mine is the $15 air compressor filter from Home Depot. Only holds about an ounce but does the job! https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/diy-oil-separator-results.1314693/

Catch Cans are stupid simple, but people like to make $$$ and customers like shiny new things. Just get the inline plastic filter with stainless screen element from Summit or wherever and cut your existing vacuum hose going from the top of the...

I think the oil consumption on any of our LandCruisers is a combination of Valve Stem Seals, PCV and blowby past the rings due to high RPM operation or under heavy load, or both. Personally, I'm a bit surprised at the oil catch can which needs...

I'm gonna reserve my right to not incriminate myself but let's just say Ricky Bobby would be proud.

1FZFE, 330k miles roughly, often drive 75-80 on interstate and on other trips tow a 3k lb trailer (stay around or under 70 then). Run Rotella 15w40. Have never added oil between oil changes (6k mile intervals) in close to 100k miles of driving...

No idea. Just feel lucky that I noticed it before that last one came loose. Knuckles are full of moly grease. Seals are a couple years old(along with the rest of it). Just barely dripped any. Think once the new hardware is in and torqued up...

I run 20w50 Castrol since engine rebuild (*I live in the desert) and took the truck on a 1,300 mile trip from PHX to SD and had to empty the oil catch can every ~500 miles - every other fill up - back into the oil filler at the valve cover. I...

How does that even happen with the fingers of the keepers still in place? Did the stud unscrew from the hole AND the nut, such that the nut then just fell away? ...and your balls are dryer than a ghost fart (*don't take that personally)!

How fast were you trying to go? It matters. These things burn oil the faster you try to push it; the sweet spot seems to be about 60mph. Any faster than that, and I'd expect higher oil consumption, and I'm on a fresh short-block rebuild with 25k...

They have several decals for Kamplite lanterns, but nothing I could find for the stoves unfortunately.
