    I have an 03 GX470 and I was told it had the Dobinson's lift on it installed by previous owner...now shocks are leaking

    They're yellow. I just didn't know what different sizes there might be.

    I have an 03 GX470 and I was told it had the Dobinson's lift on it installed by previous owner...now shocks are leaking

    I'm pretty sure it's already lifted mildly. I just can't see any model number on the Old Man Emu shocks currently installed. I know the right rear is blown because the oil has all leaked out onto the tube...unless that is residue from my power steering line I just realized I need to replace...

    I'll get those measurements and pics of the current setup tomorrow. Thanks for the help.

    I have an 03 GX470 and I was told it had the Dobinson's lift on it installed by previous owner...now shocks are leaking

    My question is what models of shocks/struts are available for this presumed Dobinson's lift/springs? The shocks and struts on it now are Old Man Emu but I can't see any model numbers or anything. My use case is lots of rough dirt roads and occasionally very muddy and rough roads with a fair...

    1996 LX450 Torque Converter Seal/Torque Converter Stem Problem

    For posterity's sake I'll post the part that fits. It's 223830. On Autohausaz, which is generally my go-to for parts purchases online lists the Timken 2025 which is the same seal(dimensions) as the Toyota part number you gave me. They say that it fits the A343 transmission...however it...

    1996 LX450 Torque Converter Seal/Torque Converter Stem Problem

    Apparently everybody does...every parts source I found online says the same part number and they're all too large. Toyota dealership confirmed it was for 80-something to 96 Land Cruiser part. Where did you find that part number? Was it a book you have or an online source. It's practically...

    1996 LX450 Torque Converter Seal/Torque Converter Stem Problem

    Do you want a pic of the part or a pic of the part next to the recess in the transmission?

    1996 LX450 Torque Converter Seal/Torque Converter Stem Problem

    I got it and it's the same size as the ones I got elsewhere that don't fit the recess in the transmission. According to the info in my door jamb it's the same transmission that supposed to be in there. A343 IIRC. This seal and the others simply won't fit. The circumference is too large. The...

    1996 LX450 Torque Converter Seal/Torque Converter Stem Problem

    Well, I ordered one online but I'm not getting my hopes up. If it is the right one and it fits I'll consider myself lucky.

    1996 LX450 Torque Converter Seal/Torque Converter Stem Problem

    I ordered a new one from Dacco. I'll try to track down the seal from Toyota. I doubt they have one locally.

    Has anybody ever tried Dacco torque converters?

    The alignment stem that goes inside flywheel hub has been bent pretty badly leading to the TC seal failing, losing all my ATF and being stranded. This happened about five or six miles into my first test drive after replacing the engine. I'm guessing that in the separation or mating of engine...

    Has anybody ever tried Dacco torque converters?

    I have to replace the TC on my 1996 LX450 so I ordered one. $134 plus $20 shipping.

    1996 LX450 Torque Converter Seal/Torque Converter Stem Problem

    It was bent more but I banged it a little to straighten it. I decided against using it because the weld is surely weakened and I can't be sure I banged it truly perpendicular. It's the top hat looking thing that fits into the center of the flywheel. In these pics you can see it's still a...
