Where are you guys sourcing oem windshields? Or is there a brand everyone likes?

Don't mean to start a whole thing, but where would you recommend buying? I'm still learning about the best resellers for 40 parts. So far, i've only ordered a bunch of oem parts from toyota. Also, anything that goes along with a 2" lift like driveshafts or anything?

2nd one was much easier. I sprayed with Kroil and let it sit for a few hours, then used a rubber mallot to hit the sleeve away from the hub. once i got a gap, used a flathead to wedge it off...

The diamond plate is the one thing I hated most about her when decide to buy or not. Fortunately, when I inspected the back side, there doesn’t seem to be any rust at all. Any ideas on how to fill all the rivet holes if I take it off?

I’m a 200 series guy that recently joining the 40-club. I’ve baselined all the fluids and hope to put some miles on her before I have to take things apart for fixing. I’ve noticed that shifting from 1st to 2nd gear grinds if I go straight down. However, if I go to neutral and barely move over...

I just picked up this ‘78 and my plans are to get her mostly back to stock. I just ordered some OEM steel wheels and hub caps, and my plan is to go with pizza cutter tires (maybe the 33x9.5 Kendas?) Here are the current measurements: FD: 33.8” — FP: 35” RD: 31.75” — RP: 32” Theses measurements...

Great success, thanks everyone.

Just picked up a ‘78 and looking to go back to stock wheels and hubcaps. Not sure what these sleeves are called, but I can’t seem to get them to budge. I tried some channel locks to no avail. Any ideas?

Not sure if you saw this tip, but for anyone about to tackle this: put a floor jack under your breaker bar when you have it positioned on the globe. Put the slightest amount of pressure on the bar to keep it from slipping off the globe.

I have a set of Toyo R/T Trails that i'm going to replace my MT Baja's with. They sure did look great, but can't believe they fell apart and MT's official response was "don't air down" :rolleyes:

put a floor jack under your breaker bar and put a little bit of upward pressure while you try to loosen the globe.

amateur question. Any time you take a picture of an LX, it needs to be in high mode!

reduced to $19k.

boy, did I go deep! I pulled all the engine plastics, door sills, and dug all the gold out from under the front seat voids. She's a beaute, clark!

Happy to report that I got my audio back! Didn’t think I’d miss it that much, but it really started getting annoying. I was about to send my amp off toOEM Auto Audio when I came across a post mentioning that the diagnostic screen should show a line for the RSE module. Then it clicked that when I...
