Trapper50cal's latest activity

Thought of getting the valve covers powder-coated, but after using the rotary wire brush in an attempt to spruce it up, it turned out pretty good - came out clean and exposed the natural color of the aluminum material which I like the most. New...

@ODSTbee yup, these guys! Bonus points for awesome shop pup too

Newb. Picked up this 2000 LX470 in TX and heading back to NorCal the long way [NM, AZ, UT, CO, NV]

Nice off-roading in central Spain with my bone stock HDJ100.

New steering rack (new Toyota, not refurb) New windshield done properly with all new Toyota bits/trim Added some Baja designs led with the built in switches to the lift gate. One white, one red

You put some meats on there. A 1.25” spacer will push the tire out enough to clear or wheels with +25mm offset. Have you done the pinch weld mod? Interested to know what you have done to fit ~35” tires and how it rides.

285/75R16= 33" diameter 285/75R17= 34" 285/75R18= 35" 285/75R19= 36" See the pattern?... :beer: You'll probably need further pinch weld mods to fit...

285/75R16 tires are 32.8 inches tall by 11.2" wide 285/75R18 tires are 34.8 inches tall by 11.2" wide 16's - 285/75R16 Tires - https://tiresize.com/tiresizes/285-75R16.htm 18's - 285/75R18 Tires - https://tiresize.com/tiresizes/285-75R18.htm To...

I need to do this too, they're sticky (no doubt from some spill) and don't engage sometimes and don't return to first position sometimes. Luckily the lights on the dash still indicate what position they're in.

Pull up on the cup holder and you can disconnect the switches from the underside. They push out the front/top.

Sand-trap display at The Annual Vegas Autofest at the Red Rock fairways.

Yeah, I hope the engine is okay.

Heater tees. Remember to replace BOTH, not just the one that failed. If your radiator is original, replace that now too. Hoping that you pinned the temp gauge for only a brief moment. My guess is you don’t have much coolant left in the system.

PSA reminder to do these proactively vs. reactively.

Looks real comfortable in the setting of that picture, that's for sure.

Legally almost zero. This is unfortunately the same for most of the EU countries. You can go north to Norway or Scotland for example or east to Albania, Romania etc. all provide nice views and you can go through most of the country off road.

Hello everybody! I just registered but I have been reading through the threads almost daily since I bought my LC in May this year. I should have read it before the purchase :)) It’s a completely stock UZJ from 99’ with a decent service...

Post that picture in the "IMPORTANT Replace your Heater T's" thread.

Regular maintenance for a 19 year old vehicle, Denso coil plugs are still from 2006, spark plugs is 30k miles approximately. Awaiting new valve cover gasket for both banks which includes all the 8 coil plug gaskets as well while in there.

Added the 2" Ironman nitro gas lift and 285/75r18 BFG KO3s. My 100% stock suspension was clanking and squeaking around at 130k so figured I'd do what I always wanted to do and get it looking a little more level and a bit taller. I had a non...

@Helipilot From your computer or mobile phone just hit this button and select the photo you want to upload from the appropriate file. Now post that 100 series!! Edit - maybe the helicopter too, please

Thanks! Bummer sold out.

Yeah, exactly.

Well, I replaced the fuel filter (with OEM Toyota 23300-50090) last week and soon after the empty tank indicator went nuts, reporting empty when certainly not, moving slowly up/down back and forth. Eventually the fuel pump started acting up by...

I have an OVS awning that has been open 3 times and used once. Selling at 300.00 or best offer. Pickup only since I am old and it would be hard to ship for...
