Hey Oneman you need to "Get Your Chill On" I know selling Toyota parts can be stressful but we're all friends down here and you're likely to see the occasional "8 year-old response" from time to time, I don't believe anyone is trying to be a "...
i’ve had these two VSV sitting in a box for 6+ mo ths but as I chase down my idle issues I went ahead and replaced themas I am pursuing a possible vacuum leak.
4wd light is finally off so thats a win
Feel free to post those prices on eBay for the moneybags that hang around there but if you truly love Land Cruisers and want to be a part of the community it means contributing to the community aside from being a parts peddler. Post some threads...
Participating in a community involves more than just attempting to sell worn-out parts at exorbitant prices and convincing oneself that it's a form of "helping others." While I acknowledge this is solely my viewpoint, it appears many others share...
Don't be mad..
Your prices for the parts that most of us down here give away are giraffe Pusay High and if people are paying you those prices then I am happy for you and wish you nothing but continued success. I know nothing about your overhead...
Hi All-
I wanted to share a product we are launching in late April or mid-May.
It's the 2-Port Lower Thermostat housing for the 60 series that require smog compliance. We will have the item listed at $89.99.
The factory casting this part for...
All of the suggestions here are good ones.
Bare minimum:
I’d recommend everyone install a kill switch and use it daily. There are vendors making them on mud. (Or it is a simple enough electrical system to inter up the coil with a ground, or...
If you use a standard long handle 1/2” drive torque wrench, you’ll likely bend stuff.
Since the flip kit doesn’t come with torque values, I personally would use a 1/2” ratchet wrench and tighten the nuts up tight. I know that sounds vague but...
Check all of your radiator hoses, especially the one that goes to the coolant tank. Those are a few things I'd go ahead and replace as PM because losing a radiator hose anywhere can be a royal PITA.
Just ordered the u-bolt flip kit from @lcwizard. Going to try to hammer it out a bit once I get the kit but a good excuse to upgrade.
Thanks all for the help - will keep ya posted!
I have an amazing degreaser I got an local auto parts store. Bare metal is so much nicer to work on.
Spray on, soak for 10 min, rinse. Ubolt flip kit is a convenient work around for sure. Better end result.
I'm a big fan of the U-bolt flip kits for staying SUA, stock suspension or not. Put one on when I went OME and it's nice not having to worry about smacking a perch or bunging up a threaded U-bolt end on a rock.
I was thinking the BFH might sort it out too. Pissed I didn't notice it when the axle was out.
When the axle was out I hit it with a commercial hot pressure washer...it was much grimier. I debated painting it but decided against it. If I was...
That is easily repairable if you just want to get it running. Got find a piece of steel, reshape and weld.
The welding alone will harden it up well enough.
As above, just be nice to the U bolts. They really aren't going anywhere once bolted on...
