thorslc1977

I got mine out of the garage before the fire came. We got lucky as they saved the house minus a few windows and lots of smoke. Blessed.

Today I ran across a guy you know here as @ToyotaMatt… was a simple question as my FJ40 arrived with a bad alternator and voltage regulator. I ‘pm’ed” him a quick note and question… what a fabulous reply I’d gotten and our discussion led to my...

Beam thru the doors? Nah. I've put in the tranny/T-case twice on my '75 without removing the engine and w/ hardtop on, solo. Easiest way is to remove seats and seat frame, remove heater, and remove tranny hump. Slide the tranny/T-case under the...

The City Racer distributor ( OEM Toyota) that is for 1977 is a plug and play with ignitor or you can use the capacitor (comes with distributor) and not use ignitor. I dropped one in my 1977 and use my original ignitor and coil. It runs great. My...

Celebrated our 34 years of marriage by taking us to a black powder shoot.

Mine sure is... (it's kinda scary - I think they may all be like that) ... (but you didn't hear it from me)

Update: I have not done anything really to the 55 until recently due to a variety of reasons. Got things in order and I have discovered some interesting things. 1) Engine is not seized, starter motor spins engine easily, oil was...

I'll see your two PBTMs and raise you two Vacuum Insulated Adult Beverage Filters :flipoff2:

Something was left on my carport an hour ago: 4 days early!

I present the $28 tailgate! It may not be to everyone's taste, but I wanted a cheap and easy solution to recently going topless and removing the ambulance doors. $23 Heep rollbar hammock and $5 stainless bolt, nut washer combo. Since it's...

A new home for Mavis

Found both of my land cruisers a new home. And I'm going with them!

Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle.

It is a critical safety piece. Safety Restore repairs them correctly and inexpensively. Mine were about $ 80.00 bucks each to fix mechanism and put in new webbing. Very happy with results and I know they will function properly if needed

Swapped the 2016 for a 2022. Haven't drive it very far yet but it has a lot more power/acceleration than the 2018 200 series that I have in Riyadh. This one is at our plant area which is several hours away from Riyadh (thus the two).

Before you entertain purchasing from cruiserparts.net, I would advise reading through the threads concerning them here: https://forum.ih8mud.com/forums/bad-sellers-buyer-beware.352/

Watched my son take his truck to his Junior prom. 3 years of hard work, and got it reassembled just in time😁

Precisely. Hell if you were close I'd be a buyer and I'd throw em on my 40. Also, having had a buddy that worked at a tire shop I'd 100% guarantee somebody would be "disposing" of those right into the back of their truck and taking em home.

Reminds me of an evening a few years ago. I had the top and the doors off. My wife and I were out on a “date night” She said “ I bet you enjoy the attention from the girls while your driving this thing” to which I replied “they never notice this...

The SFPD found it!!! it was less than a mile from where I parked it.

For the lettering, purchase a Laquer Stick. It’s a soft crayon type product. You color in the engraving and then wipe the excess with a dry towel. Then wipe with a fine cloth, damp with laquer thinner to finish cleaning the face. Thread...

The 68 fj55 that I have has one in the engine bay

Breaking news from the It's the little things category: On the left is my 45 year old part # 87294-60031 AIR DUCT NET (NLA) in a sorry state of affairs. On the left, courtesy of @78Cruzr and his ultra cool 3D printer is a reproduction of the...

You are right wire for distributor comes from ignitor. It goes into the harness then exits harness close to distributor.

That little spacer is all kinds of awesome. Name any item that can make a bigger performance improvement for under a buck. Go ahead, name it. :D I really appreciate the knowledge here. The engine operates more smoothly at higher RPMs, and it...
