Good afternoon, I have acquired a front axle from a 70 something series, I don't know exactly what age but the radius arms kind of give me a clue that it must be around 1990 since they have the 'older style' pin in the chassis side bush mount. However, I'm looking for a bearing kit (or...

It's like a sauna bath man at these temps... I need a mask without the face coverage, lol.. Thanks anyway, this is the 2nd time in my life I do a semi pro. paint job on a car, the first was when I painted the pick up bed on this car in 2020 with similar results..

Good morning, I use fluid film (annually) from a spray gun. Completely soak the undercarriage and the inside of any floor profiles etc. - wheel wells. I like fluid film because with solvents I can wash it off, and I like that, for welding, etc.. While other, thicker, tar like substances are...

So the engine rebuild continues, finally all parts necessary arrived, so reassembly could continue. This is a set of photos taken anytime between aug. 1st and aug. 13th which was start-up day. Just some cleaning.. Volvo red beats Ford blue in my...

continuing the rebuild, I found this in one of the pistons, I guess EGTs are just a myth... this engine was(and will continue to be) chipped. So I guess an EGT gauge is high on the wishlist after spending a fortune on genuine pistons on top of all of the other things I'm putting in new...

Hello Milo - thanks for your comments. My LN165 Hilux is fitted with an on board fuel filter housing heating element from the factory. However, this is not very necessary in the Icelandic climate, as it doesn't really get that cold here at all during winter. The lowest we see (rarely) is...
