@Looney , here’s the golden rule for rust: if you can see it, use your wildest imagination how bad it is in areas you can’t see. That’s about 10x worse than what is easily visible. Hope this helps.

This is a 9/10 frame condition for the 100 series age. Undercoat is good, I zoomed in and don’t see any red flags on rust from under that coat.

P0442 is usually related to an evap/vacuum leak. Check hoses for cracks. You can also use a smoke machine and avoid the guessing.

You should be good theoretically and in reality supporting the principle of gear backlash tolerance.

Good call, going forward I would consider the same service every 15k miles max. Your AHC system will thank you for that and in return a very reliable plush ride.

No destructive harm but just need to understand how fluid movement works: • additional length = more fluid = additional resistance to move the fluid around the system. • the cooling fins is only as effective if we can direct the air flow effectively towards the fins which will cool the fluid...

What’s your coolant °F temperature reading?

Seller is right it fits the mentioned models. That came off a mark 2 200 series land cruiser.

If I wasn’t fortunate enough to acquire a 100 series that didn’t have the AHC in a 9/10 condition and was on traditional non-pneumatic struts, the ARB Sahara Bar model (steel) has always been my first option. I went with Dissent (aluminum construction) to reduce the overall front end weight and...

It “could be” something may be blocking your water jackets somewhere in the block or head why the engine is overheating even at cruising speed even with new WP, rad and thermostat. • Check clarity of coolant see if there is contamination. • Run a coolant system pressure test to see if it’s...

Do you have a link in the 80 series section? I saw this but nothing tucked inside the tailgate.

Since that looks like a full list of your cooling system all new, get yourself one of these: Head Gasket Test Kit Do you have the 1FZ or 2UZ LC100?

Been seeing a lot of 100 series + MTBs recently. More please.

Resurrecting this, through the years of product innovation maybe, R&D and trial and errors and with the availability of 3D scanning and printing, curious to know if anyone had successfully used the tailgate cavity to mount an air compressor. 🤔

Tops 9 ft-lbs of torque for an M8 bolt. FSM with 8MM bolts is typically 7 ft-lbs.
