    They sit flush to the door card with no storage

    Upgraded Rosen visor

    In a front end collision the visor would swing away from you? I guess if you don’t wear your seat belt anything is possible.

    Can a bad EGR valve prevent the engine from starting?

    I don’t think your EGR valve would prevent the 80 from starting. I would remove the fuel pump assembly to inspect condition and the fuel pump soft line and sock for damage/clogging. I have seen that rubber fuel line from the pump to the hardline split if it’s been sitting in bad gas for an...

    What's the easiest way to make sure gas is getting to the injectors?

    I don’t believe that the fuel pump is powered until the ECM sees a crank signal. So turning the key on and off shouldn’t do anything unless your cranking the engine. To the OP—Pull a spark plug and make sure your getting spark during cranking and you will see if the plug is fouled or not. This...

    What is this ??

    That rusty LSPV gave up the ghost many years ago. Bypass the valve and may be a good time to delete the ABS unit while you are at it.

    80 series vs other Toyota vs domestic, ease of maintenance

    What is the nature of making this thread? Is it rage bait? But hell I love a random comparison so I’ll play. OP mentioned a high pressure hose being a pain, but my 80 has gone over 350k and not had to have it removed, but I can see it being more difficult than an F150 that would have been...

    Door Cards / Window Trim and Thoughts

    I went this exact route when I converted to the AUS door cards. I liked the idea of having better speakers that actually fit the pods. I used brand new OEM weather strips from the dealer as I used my factory upper trim that I had reupholstered. Awesome quality and I used this repair as an excuse...

    Marathon and bottom of middle seat

    If I remember right there are big straps of Velcro that secure most areas of the marathon cover. Mine turned out great and fit super well! Money well spent and do not look cheap.

    DeltaVS Cummins Conversion KIT

    I find it funny how the TFL guys talk some crap on enthusiasts vehicles, yet when they review a vehicle that is clearly a mess they bend the knee and speak very highly of all manufacturers. They are all corporate shills and give fake reveiws. I feel Tommy does a better job at being critical.

    High flow power steering pump

    I would disagree. Toyota designed this reservoir to not aerate the fluid by design. With my new reservoir I see fluid moving, but now it isn’t spilling out with the lid off. I took apart my old reservoir and see the screen/internal filter was discolored and seemingly partially blocked. I would...

    High flow power steering pump

    I had this exact issue and had replaced everything in the steering system except for the reservoir. When I remove the cap while running fluid would spew out like a geyser from the reservoir, which I have read this is fairly normal, but seemed excessive and my power steering effort was higher...

    Project "Sparkles"-1997 LX450 Gen V 6.2 Swap

    I was looking to go this route with a connect and cruise package to have a fully new powertrain with warranty, but it’s a tough concept when engines are tough to source and GM is on the brink of recalling all of the LT’s anyways. I wonder if the tor kit works behind an L8T?

    Feedback and thoughts on potential purchase

    To quote your original post it looked like you were after a clean 80 that needed no work for under 10k. I’m essentially saying to you and anyone else that reads this thread that is a fever dream. These rigs even well maintained and lower miles command insane money. Also the majority of these...

    LX450 Transmission Fluid??

    Hell for over 15 years I’ve switched all of my Toyotas that are older (Non-WS fluid) to Dexron 6. It’s backwards compatible and fully synthetic with higher temp capabilities. It’s easy to source in bulk and relatively cheap. Also that fluid will be easy to source for many decades to come. Zero...
