This may be a dumb question, but I'm relatively unexperienced with winches and trying to decide on a bumper. It appears that with any of the shortbus or high clearance tube bumpers, the fairlead is quite a bit lower than pn the full size bumpers (arb bull bar, etc.) and at an angle. Should this...

Does anyone know if there is such thing as factory black fj80s? I was under the impression there wasn't...

Is it bad to remove caliper and pads when doing the front end and then put them back on with the same half used brake pads? (my current pads are gone, but I'm not ready to do my birfields yet, when I do my birfs in a few months it will be a waste of money if I can't use the same pads I just bought).

I love this thread

80 rims rule It's amazing how much that runner looks to me just having the 80 rims on it.

My recomendation Is to give Cruiser Dan a call and just have him send you what you will need. You always get the correct part for the job, they are toyota parts, and at a better price than from any local dealer. With Napa or autozone (especially autozone), sometimes I end up getting everything...

Can anyone confirm for me that front axle parts from a 97 will fit into the axle of a 94. Things such as birfields, etc. Thanks.

wimpy posts Sorry, I meant to say I am NOW thoroughly convinced of reinforcing the posts with epoxy. Meaning, I think it's a sweet idea.

Unbelievable! I was thinking of doing that exact thing with epoxy! I wondered if it would help at all since I don't wanna fork over another 70 bucks in a year. I'm not thoroughly convinced of the idea of reinforcing those wimpy little posts.

Quick one for anyone who has replaced the problematic steering column cover. There are two main bolts that actually hold the upper and lower shells together. They are inserted into slots on the bottom shell and screw into plastic posts hanging down from the top half. However, the posts hanging...

FSM or Haynes Always FSM before Haynes. I use my haynes as mostly just a compliment to my FSM in order to have another photo to reference, etc. However, when they conflict, the FSM always wins.

successful I bought the denso K16R-Us, but I can't remember if I got them in one of my cruiser dan orders, or if I picked em up locally. Any rate, they were gapped quite a bit too small out of the box. I ended up with confidence I got them to .31 by using one of the coin looking gap tools.

Where in the heck did any of you find a gauge that has .8 mm or .031 inch? No matter where I look they all go from .030 straight to .032.

I want to buy a set of used Toyota birfields that aren't clicking or anything.

If you end up parting them out. I'll take the front birfield assemblies.
