      NikP replied to the thread First time pig owner/LS swap..
      The LS may fit without SOA but for sure you'll need a low profile oil pan. I recall the real issue is will it clear the driveshaft. You'll have to study if the low profile pan will clear the axle since some designs have the oil sump in front...

      NikP replied to the thread Spark plug replacement resources.
      I replaced my plugs within the last couple weeks. I have a 2008 LC and the passenger side required unplugging the wire harness from the firewall to move the harness to the side. I also had to remove two bolts which hold heater hoses to allow...

      I've got the Ridge Grappler on mine and am very happy with them.

      NikP replied to the thread Builds Fly By Night.
      I just think there is a curse related to painting the top of a 55. I re-did all my body work after finding hairline cracks in my final paint. I spent hours and hours on it to get it straight and then re-do it and yet I still want to do it again...

      NikP replied to the thread Check VSC System & Engine Light.
      I'm amazed at all the panic around the VSC System message. Toyota's implementation of this really leaves confusion and Toyota would have been better off to just display a "check engine" light. After all, the message typically has nothing to do...

      Right or wrong I sprayed mine with brake cleaner and the hit with an air hose.

      I'm not sure I mentioned along the way, I decided to go with TRE4x4 air lockers. I saved $1500 or more vs. the ARB lockers. I know there's a lot of debate about the "cheap Chinese ARB" locker but I go into this after studying it. I know my...

      Also a few pictures. I ended up installing an anti sway bar in the rear from a FJ55. I did this before I started repositioning the lower mounts. It help with body roll but didn't do anything for the tendency for the rear to steer in corners...

      Sorry for not posing sooner. Life gets in the way sometimes. Here's my link calculator result afterwards for reference.

      NikP replied to the thread SwitchPro Install Difficulty.
      If you had accessories working beforehand, try connecting one accessory at a time to SwitchPro. In fact, I'd start with no accessories attached and trigger the various SwitchPro switches just to ensure you're starting with no issues on SwithPro...

      read the codes. Toyota did a poor job with check engine lights and dash messages. There's likely nothing wrong with the VSC system as all these lights tend to come on when a simple check engine light would be more appropriate .

      I have a 2008 Landcruiser with a P0113 engine code. I'm assuming this Intake Air Temperature sensor is built into the MAF but want confirm before I spend money. Is there a way to test this?
    • NikP
      It's been some time but I thought an update is warranted. I played with the calculator to determine two possible actions to take. I could move the upper link mounts inward which created more of a double triangulated solution. I also...

      NikP replied to the thread Surging at slow speed while braking.
      Transmission flush sounds like it changed the slip characteristics internal to the transmission. Id run it a while to see if things improve. What was the mileage and had trans fluid ever been changed? Also have the fluid level checked because...

      I just tuned in to see you were traveling through my back yard. A little bit of paradise for sure. Happy trails.
