Attached is a picture of my dash. The ARB switches are by the rear heater switch. There is a small green switch under the radio that turns the compressors on. With this setup the compressors can maintain air and the lockers engage as soon as the switches are pressed. I did not do it, but...

I found a Superflow MV-50 on a clearance table at Checker Auto Parts about a year ago ($20.00). A friend was pissed as he bought one at the same store a week earlier for twice as much. It has done a great job inflating tires (about 3-5 minutes per tire (3 for 33" and 5 for 37"). I usually end...

I started four wheeling after rebuilding the engine on an old 4runner. It was an '88 with the 6 cylinder engine, manual 5 speed, and 33" Goodyear MTR tires. It did not have lockers of any kind. I had a lot of fun spinning tires and really learned to find lines that the IFS could cope with. I...

The prices offered look great, but there is no mention of the leather "weight" or specifications for this leather either (maybe I missed it). The one install I did see seemed to have some stitching a little off and there were some smudge marks, perhaps from the silicone spray used (though I...

Has anyone tried to install a set of seat covers from: http://www.trimcar.com/index.html ??? They want about $1000 for full leather all three rows. Looking at the seats it looks as though such a job would take a lot of time. My seats are cracking and splitting open. The wife thinks some...

Auto-Up Window Mod 20 minutes ago I went out and started the auto up window mod. It all went as described and works great! Thanks! :D I used a 1N4004 instead of the 1N4001 because I had one (I think the only difference is the reverse voltage 400V vs 50V). I almost pulled the dremel out...

Heater Valve I just bought a cruiser and live in Arizona. The guy I bought mine from showed me a small valve on the firewall that needs to be shut all the way so the heater is not fighting the air conditioner. On mine this valve did not shut completely with the control cable connected. He...

Tranny Fluid I have also been negligent with the tranny fluid in my vehicles after an incident with my 92 chevy 1500. Shortly after replacing the fluid in the chevy transmission it went out and I had to install a replacement transmission. I just bought a Cruiser and would like to change the...

Hello, I have a new to me Land Cruiser I purchased from Spencer of the Wasatch Cruisers Tribe. The cruiser is a 1993 FZJ80. I am working on getting the driver door lock actuator back in operation. I have removed the actuator and found a small motor that is seized up. It seems as though...
