that was on the KAT - Kentucky Adventure Trail. If you haven't been there... it is really outstanding. Plenty of managed camp sites as well as ample areas for dispersed camping. It was great but I prefer the desert. I guess IH8mud.

Anyone know of a source for body panel repair parts? Especially the corners on the rocker panels as they transition to wheel well.

Cross thread = nature’s locktite… lol

Thank you for the effort you put into this response. Most helpful.

Thanks for the concern. I've been a wrench turner for over 45 years. Have a side business building engines - I don't mess with the high tech Euro stuff- mostly small and big block GM units. This is my first Land Cruiser and my experience (so far) is that these are a different breed. I...

My booster pump / accumulator / master cylinder has started making the dreaded 'I'm about to fail' noise. I have a brand new OEM unit in stock. Anyone done this job? Any tips / hints? Thanks in advance.

Started the process of replacing head gaskets. Only 138,000 miles but age does its thing. Last October's Death Valley trip had some hard pulls on pavement. Up and over passes running from one destination to another. Slowed all the way to 45 - 50 MPH wide open throttle. I was concerned about...

Hello All, Well, there's trouble. My 100 performed flawlessly during my late October Death Valley run. Finally got the rig trucked back to St Louis. Brought it in to my shop and did an oil change. Yikes The oil was brown-ish. Took a sample, see results below. I had installed an...
