turbo8's latest activity

Some from the beautiful island of O’ahu~ The first day it came one with me! Back in the valleys of the Koʻolau mountains. Even though it takes 3rd place in the Land Cruiser lineup…it still makes the lineup!!

Hi All Longtime listener and repeat offender back with a fresh start... We bought our first 200 series 8 years ago as a 2008 with 200k miles on it. It replaced our 100 series with 327k miles. It had a mild build (Bumper, winch, Bilstein 6112s...

Yup, just got in my order. Should have done this awhile and glad this product exists. Big butts need armor.

I’m about to join you

Had a great time tackling some trails this weekend. It's past time for a muffler chop and butt armor. Better late than never? Paging @Turbo.

I think, you're asking if I can extend it like this? How much farther should I extend it? From your pic, maybe extending to this surface looks about right.

Just FYI: Rob (the US distributor for Werewolf portals), drove 12 hours to my house to fix my tone ring that had somehow moved out of place. Now that that’s fixed, AHC is fully functional - no lights on the dash and everything works. So for those...

I’m happy to report that my cam tab issues are resolved and the Kings look great. Ride home was hampered by the gear break but there is a definite improvement on the ride. I can use 7th gear now without needing to be 70+ on the interstate. I...

Not yet. I didn't notice any difference while driving, so I doubt anything changed. I'll get around to it soon, just to make sure.

I bought this 2010 LX 570 to be my wife's daily driver/family vehicle, with the intention that it would eventually end up being the replacement for my lifted 2004 Sequoia. We purchased a GX 460 this spring, freeing up the LX for me to start...

When the engine is off, you should be able to move the fan, but there will be resistance. If it spins freely the clutch is shot. Start watching from 3 minutes. @Timmy65 lists the diagnosis procedures

Hey guys, I've had a ton of Toyota's I've built over the years, have a current JKU that's pretty much a trailer queen now on 38's and setup for crawling, and I've recently purchased this Black 2013 LX 570 to be a more mild family hauler to some...

I have sold 200. when I did BDS lift 200 TC was retain. front diff was also 200 series. I had no issues with full time 4WD on TC or diffs.

Yeah, I came down off a rock or ledge and must have tapped the skid on another rock. TBH I'm not worried about the dent.. when I get time I had plans to pull the front skid and hammer it out as best I can. Personally I wouldn't want to give up...

I think @Atwalz did the 4" Tundra drop bracket lift on his 200 and took it on the Rubicon. I believe he still kept the 200 transfercase.

They are the same part number

That is a plastic rivet. 90467-07217

Grabbed a 1 owner, 124k mile 2011 for $27k. Texas owned vehicle its whole life. First time buying and shipping a car sight unseen. Still waiting on delivery but excited to finally get into a 200. Will post more pictures upon arrival. Will...

Since there are not scrapes going down the rest of the skids, did you drop off of a ledge onto a rock right there? That area is probably the area that will hit the most, I'll see if I can figure out a way to retrofit a brace in that location...

This impact was so soft I was pretty sure it was just something I rolled over and it had been dampened by the sidewalls and suspension. I assume the aluminum deforming relatively easily did the dampening. And keep in mind the drain plug is...

What kind of off-roading were you doing and were you in 4lo?

That's mostly true, but having experienced forking out money for a new engine, i'm not willing to bet a new 3UR just so I can change my oil 5 minutes faster and slightly less oil spillage. I'm just sharing my experience and agreeing with @bloc -...

Another option would be to source the multimode transfercase from the Sequioa, then you would have everything. 2wd, 4wd open, 4wd locked, 4lo open, and 4lo locked. With manual front hubs you can even have 2lo.

I don't really see how you'd hit something bad enough with the skids to break off the fumoto valve... I get this if you have no skids, but even with aluminum, it would take a lot of impact. If you're hitting that hard, I'd hope you'd get out and...

This happened to me. I had a fumoto valve, bottomed out and the fumoto unscrewed and I lost a lot of oil without noticing for miles unit the oil pressure light went on but it was too late. This happened on an LS1 powered rx7. I added oil and the...
