      Some of you might have heard that I have made an arrangement to purchase the Cruisin Offroad 80 series bumpers and skid plates (US and diesel 5 speed) files and "rights". Jason and I have liked each others armor for years and when he retired...

      I wouldn't say you can fit them "without ANY trimming". I still had some trimming with mine, but was able to still keep things mostly intact with a factory look keeping the flares etc. Maintaining the compression travel was my only reason for...

      Well first would be a personal preference and the fact that "Slinky" doesn't make a 4" lift kit. Per other members, if you want to run over a 35" tire the slinky kit will require you to do some trimming. Slee's heavy spring can accommodate my...

      The cylinders are gunked up and some of the tumblers inside are likely worn. Step 1: Spray dry lube in and work them with the key, then spray more dry lube, then repeat. Do NOT put any grease or oil-based lube in - it will make the problem...

      Having just been through a ignition bracket rod issue on my new-to-me 1995 model, I thought I'd share my experience. On my vehicle, you had to turn the key to the "start" position and then wiggle it around just right to get the starter to...

      Less keys and 'stuff' hanging off your keychain would be something your ignition switch would thank you for :) All that mass helps to wear the key & key mechanism away as you bounce bounce bounce down the road mile after mile.... I had to...

      I went to restart my 96 Land Cruiser (1FZ-FE) and the switch turned on, but it wouldn't start. The key flopped all the way to the right , but wouldn't return and there was no "spring" back from the start position. I noticed that my radio had...

      I'd forgotten about this post. Very shortly after I made this (and some threats to the vendor about credit card disputes) I finally received my parts. Don't ever work with threepiece.us.

      Hello all! Just bought my very first truck of any kind (a non-locked LX450) 2 days ago. In the process of flushing all fluids and replacing the valve cover gasket which is currently spewing oil (all through a shop). Never built / self-serviced a...

      bummer about the shop and your situation. Montclair is about 2 hours from our club members. The closest person would be West Covina. I can ask some coworkers who might be in the area. What kind of information are you looking for?

      Ok...SMD is the winner. Pic1 is The Neowedge in white, Pic2 is OEM incandescent, and Pic 3 is a modified side facing red SMD LED. Pics taken at the same shutter speed and represent pretty darn close what they look like.

      Diode 101.... LEDs are diodes and are sensitive to polarity (they will only work one way unlike the bulbs you are replacing). Check the LEDs before removing them from the circuit boards. A few were marked + or - but were not correct...

      I may have gone a little overboard with the LEDs but some like their 80 to look like a 7-11 in Reno. :grinpimp:
