So I ended up having a fairly significant leak on one of my low pressure side hoses and it turned out they were both hard and brittle and starting to crack. Fluid was even leaking out one of the hose ends because the spring clamp couldn't compress the brittle hose any longer. I went to my local...

So in Feb 2021, I paid approx. $1.9k +shipping for this particular (fully assembled) 4x4Lab setup... today, its about $3k +shipping. Why there's a 50% markup over (exactly) 4 years I'm not sure but comparatively speaking, its still somewhat affordable if you're still in the market. Pro's of this...

I went with 4x4labs rear bumper, Slee Shortbus front bumper and Slee slider steps...

Should I put my Conferr RR back on or does it make me look phat? It's been in storage for about a year now .

33's on 2.5" OME with a 1" coils spacer in front for less rake. Need new shoes so trying to get a pass to add bronze Icon Rebounds wheels along with some new Goodyear MTR's. No plans to move up to 35's and 4.88's since I don't do any hardcore wheel'n anymore.

29 years in Phx, all true and great tips although I never misted the inside of my LC. I do have 3 window shades to block out the windshield and both side windows. I'd also walk pretty far if I can find tree shade. When I play golf, I'll strategically park in the sunny spot if I can predict in 4...

I bought Aisin from Rock Auto in March for $42 +shipping which came out to $52... hard to beat OEM with a 12m warranty

I assume the PS mechanical lock/lever next to the inner door handle is properly moving back and forth using the DS master lock which would rule out the door lock actuator itself. If that is the case then I agree with your assessment of a bad connection between the PS switch and the pin on the...

I'd still check with Yoshi Parts as I've ordered items from them coming from either Japan or the UAE. I did strike out on AC control module however, they showed they had one and then got a refund saying they didn't have one after all. They might have your part in stock somewhere... can't hurt to...

I rest my case... for sale in CA for the "discounted" price of $57,900

Yep, that's Waipio. I'm on the Kona side. I've had a lot of interest but its all talk until they come up with a good offer. I had an '89 4Rnr SAS but my son rolled it when he was 16... he was fine so I was okay to be sad... sold it (whole) for parts.

I'm not exactly sure what you're looking for but here's where I start for my searches... Yoshi Parts catalog I'd love to see links to other places but this is the most comprehensive parts catalog I've come across and have ordered a couple items from them in the recent past.

I get your point and agree with BAT being top end rigs but bottom end is somewhat unrealistic as well... for example, if I used KBB on my LC, I'd be dumping my rig for ~$7500 according to them. I'm sure he's already done that (KBB I mean) and is realizing that if he wants to get a decent price...

Your best bet is to compare your rig to BAT (Bring A Trailer) as there are many 80's currently under auction (3 as I write this) and many recent sales. Solid, clean rigs seem to sell highest in CA or other boogie states Californions are flocking to such as TX, FL, AZ and NV. I'm in Hawaii which...

I did something very similar many, many years ago but I used the Fischer universal cupholders and made the backplate out of sheet metal and painted it black. Since the console is tapered you have to add about 1/2" at the top to make the cupholders sit at the correct angle. I also added a 12V...
