Took the fam camping, went up Old Fall River road in Rocky Mountain National Park and the next day went out with a friend to do the Middle St Vrain Trail + Coney Flats. I loved the water crossings and was happy the truck could make it up &...

From this spring

This guy did it with an 80… https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/lexus-lx450-chinook-expedition-vehicle.593286/

Oleg from Irbis Off-road started a project like this years ago. I’ve always liked the idea. I think the original Chinooks were dually rear axles though. https://risingsun4x4club.org/xf/threads/tundra-expedition-camper.14089/

Where are you and the rig located?

Found some brass in the hobby section of Ace Hardware. Time to oil it up. And first coat of oil. Backside has some cool grain.

7600 miles in 2017. Jersey to Cruise Moab to Seattle to Vancouver to Jasper and Banff. Took the Trans-Canada back east and dropped into NY over the St Lawrence. 3600 miles in 2018 from Jersey around the Gaspe peninsula. 4600 miles in 2019 from...

I would crawl under there and make sure the starter hasn’t loosened itself from the bell housing. And that your belts and tensioners are still snug. And look for anything else that might be loose in the engine bay or along the exhaust system...

The FAQ is a really good place to start: https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/80-series-faq-for-general-info-modification-and-repairs.84888/ There is a thread or two linked in there about power steering pump rebuild. That was my first thought when...

Had to pull the fuel rail to re-reoute the wiring harness. Haven't been this deep into a 1FZ in about 3 years so there are things that I've forgotten. Toyota's logical layout of the engine hard parts and wiring are such that if you are having...

Now that it looks like one again.

What I've gathered from the mud veterans, if the cooling system is satisfactory and it has adequate oil pressure, the 1FZ-FE is more than happy at 4K RPM. :flipoff2:

I don’t really see anything alarming on those axle shafts. If you don’t want them send to me, I’ll run them 😎

Splines engage on the spline. That is, the face of the spline. Those OEM splines are involute and roll formed. In theory, there shouldn't be any contact between the O.D. of the spline tooth and the mating part. The involute profile centers the...

I really like my 413H stoves
