I believe Elite Land Cruisers ships truck to South America to restore which is a big question mark and a hard pass for most these days. Do your homework and find out where the restoration was actually performed. Since you aren't sure what you're...

Lousy photos, but hard to tell it is not a "large" format filter. Yet, it is merely a cover slid over the smaller Toyota filter:

A year ago or two, I bought what I thought were two cases of oil filters (the big ones) - naive as I was, not realizing that I bought 24 small oil filters. I found them for around 2 bucks a filter. They look silly, but for the light driving I do...

120,000 miles young. 27 years old. Amazing. I put 10,000 miles on it officially. Love this thing and it's cold ass AC

What is 'low rpm' and what is voltage at idle. Then take a measurement of voltage at 1500rpms. Quite simply, at idle you want 13v minimum, but these trucks have low amperage alternators so yes, they do dim a little at the ~650-700rpm range...

Yeah, and the terminal connections at the battery and fuse box to see if you’re getting a big drop from one of those sinks - battery, lights, radio, …. It’s normal for the voltage output of the alternator to drop as rpms drop as @brian alludes...

I don't think there are clearance issues with a straight swap..... But I could be totally wrong.

Thats because only a handful of us know what it is!!🤪

Hey ! Sorry for the bad updates on this. I have been going SUPER slow. Life has been crazy busy and I have limited metal skills so I have been learning as I go. :D That being said, I feel like I can see the light at the end of this tunnel... I...

No heat; hammer and a dolly if needed or I have some pliers I’ve made for flange bending and stuff. But it’s not too thick, tack and tap and it’ll go where you want it.

Oh believe me Matt . . . I pester them ALL THE TIME. And Tor has plenty of my money :oops::bang:

I have been working with this Toshiba T2333 IC recently. I have not been able to find a datasheet for this so it may be a special made IC for DENSO. This is used in some of the 80s AC amplifiers. It is basically a dual comparator with some extra...

I received these today. These work with the Yazaki ( and probably others) CN 250 (6.3mm) tang style terminals. I am going to keep 2 of these and sell the other 3.

While I was the first person ToyotaMatt banned/blocked, it was because he was taking advantage of the general ignorance people have of how the Toyota system works. This was over ten years ago. I called him out on it. I got banned/blocked...

Dome light 81240-22070-08, ivory. Compatible with lots of other Toyotas too.

I have always done points and condenser at the same time. One without the other is like taking a shower and then putting your dirty shorts back on. :lol:

Torfab is in Seattle and I'm sure has many of those in stock. Support your local business.

Pretty sure I have one: www.marksoffroad.net

Fits 67-73 AFAIK. VG condition. $350 shipped

Love this. It is making me want to dig up more photos of my kids in the cruisers over the years. Just amazing, thank you for sharing these photos Whitey, I know we share a lot of things in common.

I let my son drive my 45 when he was 9! First truck he ever drove! He learned what a clutch was early on a motorcycle, so he had no problem! Now he is 18! And been driving my 45 on the rubicon the last few years!! Brand loyalty firmly seated in...

A recent update from @greenEFSI had me thinking about my little ones and my cruisers. I have hundreds of photos of my kids and I enjoying cruisers, but for some reason this one hit me the other day. This is from maybe 2005 or 2006, I'd have to...

I want to respectfully push back on the idea that this thread—bringing together concerns already raised by multiple community members—somehow caused the outcome here or influenced managements decisions. This thread didn’t create the problem; it...

I cant wait to get the fj55 down to Ocracoke so I can start cranking on it. Its not set in stone but should be about 2 weeks from now. I had so much fun wrenching this past weekend on a few fj55s and hanging out with some great friends! Ill leave...

Onur let everyone in the Landcruiser community know about the headlight deal, Matt read Onur’s post and started buying them and re selling them for massive mark up.
