OMG! Don't buy it! Let me know where it is so I can go see this carnage in person! Just think about how Fred Flintstone drives!

Agreed with all above, looks great to me...totally surface/superficial...give her a good power wash under there and decide what you want to do from there. If you won't be around salt, maybe consider Eastwood Chassis Black to freshen up, or as...

LA Squirt that thing with fluid film / etc once in a while, and it'll survive the apocalypse

Looks superficial to me

I’m trying to understand what is making you sad about the undercarriage.

Wanted to be sure, is this the LSPV? 4791060090 It's behind the left-rear caliper. What are the PNs for the 3 hoses?

Yeah no CEL when moving the O2's to the PAIR spots on mine either!

Soon they will be rendering cat fat to cover their paws and lips

Another sign of the impending apocalypse - mice have learned to cover their feet in oil to defeat glue traps.

No. No CELs on mine.

Magnaflow Y-pipe instead of stock converters. It's stainless, which you need in Ohio. Stock muffler and tail pipe unless you want to go full stainless as well. Are your manifolds really bad? I replaced mine with some low-mile rust-free ones...

I was just looking at the same. Everything is pretty reasonable except for the cats. Those are 2/3 of the total price. I may use magnaflow for those sections and OEM for the rest.

The freeze plugs face the firewall. Pulling the transmission is only marginally helpful. You can get them out without removing anything, it's getting them back in that's the problem. They really need to be inserted square to the bore and...

FWIW a good NSK bearing, what's in there now, is a bit more, $15-30 depending on where you buy it. Chynna has flooded the market with kerapp bearings (and counterfeits) so you have to be careful what you're getting. If someone on fleabay is...

How long, in California, will you legally be able to own a Land Cruiser? Also, with a smog check every two years, you're going to be likely chasing codes to make sure you can pass. Each fill up will be $120+. And it will probably be stolen...

Here’s my advice…buy a nice, used Honda civic or Toyota carolla. 4 cylinder, five speed manual. This is what a young man working his way through college should be driving. There will be PLENTY of time in the future for you to get a Cruiser. Both...

The freeze plugs on the back of the head? Can't see why you need to pull the trans to check them.

Good. A CDL button from the factory means that it doesn't have ABS and doesn't have a fully-floating rear axle. It get advertised on Craigslist and whatnot as some great feature when it's actually a sign that someone didn't want to pay the $500...

Nerds:meh:

I've switched to the Motorcraft FL-1A, its a large size filter and received excellent ratings in Rat540's testing. Totally agree on the avoid WIX/NAPA at all costs. https://540ratblog.wordpress.com/

Keep in mind that the OEM cats were vertical and hung lower than the horizontal Magnaflow cat which is tucked up higher.

I think you should swap the 1FZ-FE & A343F into the van while you're at it. Then you'd have the slowest, ugliest, most inefficient van that runs forever. Also, what in the meth happened to your LX rims? Incidentally, you may need to replace...

Dueling Banjos were in Arkansas. He is in Kentucky and should be fine. I think.

I would recommend returning and getting the Landtank DC shaft

I saw a throttle body that was removed, i’m trying to be nicer these days :rofl:
