Had been chasing a knocking sound for a few months. Did the upper ball joints in June and didn’t have time ( who am I kidding…I was procrastinating) for the lowers. Finally did them last week thinking they were the culprits. Same process as the uppers: the first one took three times longer...

Interesting. What thickness of steel did you use? I bought some 1/8" sheets earlier this summer with the idea that this would be something similar I would like to do to practice my welding on. That way I can make some ugly ass welds and no one would be the wiser.

I have an 04 Land Cruiser that has the bolt holes in the frame member, but not the hole for the receiver, like the LX. I research this a couple years ago and bought an FJ 40 receiver from Cool Cruisers and bolted it in, because I needed something for my hitch bike rack. I’ve seen others who had...

Been chasing a knocking sound and noticed the torn boots of my UBJs when I replaced the cv axles last month. Got worse after a trip to Moab and finally decided to try to replace them. Much like the cv axle replacement, the first one took hours and the second was about 45 minutes after learning...

Feels good to check the box on the list of some of the things that have been nagging me for months. Have had intermittent weeping from my CVs for the last two years and put new bands on them last year, hoping that would fix it but last couple of months the grease was getting slung everywhere...

Get the part number from Partsouq and then compare to what Impex will charge. Sometimes it is noticeably cheaper with Impex but you will have likely longer to wait. You can also check BeForward for used parts. I just ordered and received a used steering rack for my JDM Nissan fairlady/ 350z and...

I just bought one last summer using my VIN on partsouq and it came in dark grey that my 04 is painted. Same with the JDM mirror for my front left fender. Assuming that my VIN would designate my paint code, should work for you as well?

Looks great. That Nissan amethyst colour is pretty sweet.

Hey guys. Just finished welding (if you can call what I do as "welding") the bodies of the slider kit from Coastal and now attempting to get the mounts lined up and curious if anyone has any photos of how you mounted them? These are the bolt on with the 3/8 plates and when I look on Coastal's...

I love these kinda stories. Just need my wife to read them so that I don’t seem as crazy as she thinks I am when I am doing my mods to my LC. Thanks John

What did the previous owner do for a living? Looked like it was driven on roads with coal dust and ground into everything in the interior.

Man, I admire your dedication. I just read the entire thread and I would have filled 16 swear jars, working through all the little things that you did. Good job, boss.

Been having problems with AHC this year and after a flush that didn't change some of the behaviours, I decided to go analog and ordered the IronMan Foamcell with diff drop. Pretty easy install, aside from the nightmare of removing the rear. Also, removing the accumulators and some of the lines...

I have a JDM 04 LC and bought the G6 about a year and a half ago. Once I finally figured out the sound settings, it has been pretty good. I rewired an aftermarket camera as well. The only problems are that the rear defrost and the heated mirrors don’t work. Everything else is fine. It has...

I have my power antenna connected, but I have pushed the manual retraction button down, and it stays down now all the time until I put it back up, even after stopping and restarting the vehicle
