I'll take them. One of mine is bent. Let me know shipping to 37363. Thanks!

I spent months looking for one globally, through all the online parts sources, and couldn't find it anywhere so I feel your pain. Joe Katana (who often posts here - search for his username) had one at his shop in Texas, and I got it. He may...

In my days of youth, I had a after school job at a trucking company where I changed many semi tires on split rims. Beyond concurring with the advice that has already been shared, we used automatic transmission fluid as the lube for mounting...

Getting the new water bypass in for the 1HZ was a little but tricky. I went and bought a washer that fitted over the part so I could use a normal nail punch on it to knock it in without damaging part (as seen in photo). 1. Gently heated the...

I had to replace a tyre on a tractor trailer with split rims a while ago that were much rustier than these. The tyre tech who installed the new tyre said the rim was in really good condition. On the topic of disassembling them, the ring extends...

They guys that did mine had a wide bladed sledge hammer they used to beat the tire down off the bead, then used a pry bar get under the ring and worked it off. A jack would be a good way to do it without having to bring an extra tool.

Ran these for years on a Dodge Power Wagon I daily drove. They're fine but old rusty ones like this I would be careful with - take them to a good truck tire shop and have them break this all down completely and inspect everything for fit and...

Scepter cans are dependable and you can get them anywhere plus they fit in all the commonly used jerry can holder hardware.

There's a set of 5 on ebay - in PA no less.

You have already posted your problems on this thread, which went cold: 1HZ high altitude smoking and sputtering - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/1hz-high-altitude-smoking-and-sputtering.1346197/ As I said in that thread, your engine has a...

no it will NOT increase oil pressure, thats a function of the pump not total oil capacity, dont overfill your oil, it can lead to the crank whipping air into the oil and the air bubbles lowering your oils lubrication capabilities leading to...

id wager he's fuuckin with you....

Avoid the 3.0 v6. Famously one of Toyota's least successful engines. Easy peasy answer is get any 4Runner with either the 3.4 v6 (5VZ-FE) or any of the newer models. I think 1996 and later is the range. The newer ones with the 1GR-FE are...

I'm going back to running it through Youtube where I have a larger audience. I found a different podcast app that will let me Livestream but also have people join through a link like zoom. Hopefully that gets better "attendance" I set the...

Hope you do. I really enjoyed the episodes so far. Would be fun to hear some horror stories - "you won't believe what just rolled in" kind of stuff. You probably have one or two.

I'm going to give the podcast another try. I'm stilling trying to find a good time for the actual call in live portion. In the meantime, I set up a page where people can leave "voicemail questions". Voicemail link Then I can answer them on the...

100% agree. I’ve given up on Amayama. Megazip and Partsouq are my go-to now.

Our first tank of fuel, used 23.5gal and did 405 miles. 17.25mpg. We are also not driving it for mpg rather for break in procedures. Cheers

Man, the patina on that 40. "It belongs in a museum!" You're a really good photographer, that night time shot is great. And I love the smoking while mounting gas cans shot.

Most of the troopies have only one tank . Dual tanks where region specific as standard or optional . My hzj75 has dual tanks because it is ex NGO and therefore it’s also a 12 volt version instead of 24 volt .

Thanks I figured as much.

My 1HZ is stock but it has a "collector" instead of the OEM manifold/heat shield I usually see, and I'm wondering if this is a good thing, or if it should at some point be replaced with OEM. The truck always starts and runs perfectly, in all...

Ditto on the 70 series. I would kill to see more 75 series and troopy stuff but I know you have to take care of the market. The art is really good and it looks like it was made by a knowledgeable enthusiast and not some AI crap - speaking as...
