not sure why your shocks crapped out but, the toyota mechanic who inspected the vehicle offered me $400 cash right there for them after he road tested it. i didnt know they were that expensive so i looked into it and now see that they are pretty steeply priced everywhere. who knows, they might...

hi anyone interested in 4 good condition (86k) adjustable shocks for the 80 series. they are nice and firm and still have tons of miles left in them and the sport/norm adjustment works well on all of them. i put in an OME lift so i have no need for them anymore. im asking $600 for all 4 and...

anyone interested in a full bolt on 3in. stainless exhaust system for HDJ81 cruisers, requires no welding or cutting, bolts right on and makes a noticeable difference in response and power. MPG gains are debatable but it is a substantial upgrade in low end and hwy speeds. all that for $995...

ouch, that's gonna be expensive to fix when you cook your engine. thats a small diesel, not renowned for power or torque but i got over 200k completely hassle free on mine before i sold it. drive it like it was meant to be driven, slow and steady. just trying to save you money~~~

here'sa recent weird one, lately my cruise control has been shut off while its in use when i use one of any power windows. i am using the master switch on the drivers side and and it happens every time i try it. i have not been through any water or done anything that might have screwed around...

again, this is purely protectionism bull**** at its finest! this is spearheaded by jimmy pattison and his toyota dealers as far as ive been told by some way up there in ICBC. this is only brought on becuase for years we have had to settle with the NA s***boxes out there while the rest of the...

zambiamud, i have a 92. i think you have a HDJ81 vx diesel like mine. my ect button will electronically increase rpm's without pressing the accelorator and increase power, its almost like downshifting. re; your sunroof, probably just roller guides that are rattling and rubber gaskets that...

cool discussions about cruiser vs. rovers being from south africa we have always had this back and forth before, it never ends. these are the reasons i dislike land rovers. 1) rated and officially ranked as the MOST UNRELIABLE vehicles on the road. (1984-2007) doesnt matter how great it is...

i have done some expedition driving in namibia. we used to run our diesels with pure water as coolant, now im sure thats not the best thing but once (at the beginning of gulf war #2) our pre stored water stash was impossible to find because the US had shut down the GPS satllites so we couldnt...
