Welcome aboard! Another 100 series in the club,... but we need to see some pics. 😁

@Saddletramp handles club memberships, shirts, stickers, and a lot of other things. If you were once a member, you are always a member. Welcome back, and hope to meet you at a future meeting. Now that the weather has cooled off, the 3rd Friday Monthly meetings should be better attended. I've...

If I do this, how will my email address be used by your company?

If the O2 sensor cables and plugs look fine, you may have a bowel obstruction. The truck, not you personally. The power being down and bogging, unable to rev, etc. could be a blocked catalyst, and sometimes the nature of the honeycomb design means that chunks get blown around in there and...

Does that thing time travel when you hit 88 mph? Curious about all that tubing...

Is the proprietor of "mechanics shop" Billy-Jo-Bob from Trannies-R-Us or a Toyota Certified Master Technician? It kinda matters. A new engine would be stipulated if Trannies-R-Us isn't able to make rent this month. Otherwise, a misfire could be a lot of things not requiring huge sums of $$$ to...

Going back a bit, here's a cool piece of LandCruiser and film memorabilia which was recently gifted to me from the movie The Kingdom (2007). Here's the scene - from earlier in this thread; And then the door skin; Appears to be the left front door panel, based on the cut-out for the door...

I mean,... As long as you're planning to use a head gasket,... 😁

As a fellow traveler on the US roadways, I just want to express my thanks for your judicious use of mud flaps to control errant rocks being thrown from your tires. I'm also a firm believer in mud flaps. Also, your head gasket is leaking.

Here are the Pro's and Con's of having a rear swing-out; + It gets your spare to where you can reach it easily on the trail. + It keeps your spare from getting damaged on the trail when stored underneath + It keeps you from having to carry the spare inside the back, which takes up precious...

It wasn't that way when I did mine last year. I'm betting if you take apart the rag joint, the rubber is deteriorated and is allowing the excessive play. If all of the set bolts are tight, it should have barely perceptible play. The upshot is that if you don't replace the rag joint - and now is...

5 years on a TYC1918 in the Sonoran Desert and no problems at all. Keeps the LandCruiser cool (*Toyota red), and has been in since my new factory short block. With the price difference getting smaller and smaller each year, I'll probably opt for OEM next time if only that it comes with foam...

These? It might make a difference; On an 80, it may be considered false advertising when you consider fuel, oil, etc... 🤔

The obvious problem, for those following along; capacitor leaking electrolytic oil out, causing current fluctuation, yes?

I dunno man. Having a swingout is pretty nice. You get used to it after awhile, and mine is a single-side (*Slee early edition w/centered spare). Two would be too many,
