Perfectly timed thread! Watching. Yesterday I did a 40 mile offroad drive with a nearly full tank. - 85-95F ambient - high elevation - mostly slow technical driving with a lot of bouncing around - no CEL, overheating, or other issues the whole...

what’s the year of the Tundra and the part number you confirmed fit the Land Cruiser? When I search the part number on the unit in your pic, it shows as NLA and out of stock at rock

Like they say: “where there’s a rule, there’s a Land Cruiser owner willing to break it and then post a write-up.” 🤣

That’s pretty elegant. I think you can get the same result by replacing the tees with straight connectors. In that case, I think you actually can use the barbed brass fitting from a hardware store, since IIRC it’s the 3rd, smaller tube that...

That’s a great spot for a MOLLE first aid kit or things that go pew-pew (if that’s your thing). Nice work! Where else can MOLLE platforms go? I’ve seen them as seatback mesh replacements, but laser-cut Cordura would probably work best. Wait a...

Yeah well it’s definitely jammed. PB Blaster won’t stay put horizontally so I grabbed some foam rubber pipe insulation and made a couple of “cozies” for them to marinate in. Hopefully that’s working smart, not hard.

By the way, that page from the FSM has a handy way of converting steering wheel angle into # of turns of tie rod adjustment. tl:dr 1 full turn of the tie rod adjustment screw = 12° of steering wheel angle.

The Steering section of the FSM suggests that toe in/out is the way to adjust an off-kilter steering wheel when re-splining won’t. I’ve done that with other cars, so no big deal, but how the hell do you get this jam nut (in blue) loosen? Are...

No master spline on mine.

Splines are 10° apart, per the FSM. Wheel is off by about 3-4°. Jumping over by one puts it at about the same angle, but opposite from center.

Hmm, so your original dimmer was burned out, the used replacement you bought also burned out on first use, the evidence for which was scorched mosfet. You concluded mosfets on both dimmers were bad, soldered in new ones, and the problem stopped...

The best I can scrape together is that the issue is in the loaded/unloaded suspension. Possibly, if you remove in one state and reinstall in another, it “recenters” the linkage to the steering rack by a couple degrees. Only way to correct is with...

Confirming that this 100% DIY-able on an early LC, just did it twice, have not personally done a later one. 3 options: Techstream, an airbag capable ODB2 scanner, or special service tool (aka paper clip) in the diagnostic port located on the...

Pulled my steering wheel to R&R the leather. The truck was up on jack stands at the time, front suspension unloaded. Steering was centered at the time, always been dead perfect when driving. I marked hash marks on the spline hub to ensure it went...

I had ChatGPT do a 3-year look-back on Serra’s %off sales for patterns and it predicts: - 25% off sometime between late August and mid October 2025 - 25% off around March 2026 - 10-20% off around late June to early July 2026 Bobistheoilguy...

This. Get a multimeter if you don't have one. As little as $5-6 at Harbor Fright, but also worth having a decent one in your toolbox. You should be seeing 13.5-14VDC at the positive battery terminal with the engine running, little higher under...

Sure, and why bother with new tires when you can just monitor them for traction? This is an ounce of prevention story. I do agree with the “use OEM parts” bit, though. 1. A broken-off tee will drain your cooling system just as effectively a mile...

Holy dead thread revival! But if it’s upright and walking, I’ll add that any engine with difficult to access, critical service parts is not at the top of the list. The 2UZ-FE is a fine mill, but is it resilient?

I’ve probably got a dozen constant-tension clamps hidden in the dark corners of my garage, from when they sproinged off the lineman’s pliers I used for years to wrestle them on and off.

I bought this from amazon two weeks ago because its easier to buy a tool this cheap then to lose my mind.

I’ll admit that I keep a label maker in the garage and stick individual date/mileage labels on filters, fill plugs, and any critical consumables. Love me a good label 😂

@ClassyJalopy Remember the July4 code discount does not show up in the part price. That $151.58 in @hotdawwgman ’s image is a 31% online store discount off MSRP, available all the time. When you enter the code, it applies an extra 20% off that...

lol this is a commerce site run by a giant corporation, right? You should not have to do the hokey-pokey and turn yourself around just to order a few parts.
