    SQOD Squad - Stupid Question Of the Day

    Rear should be jacked from under the axle and it works fine Front should be jacked at the frame. There is sufficient jack length to lift completely in my garage, so yes… but if you were not in level ground YMMV

    Towing with a 200-series Toyota Land Cruiser

    I don’t believe that’s true. To my knowledge, cheaper (and older) TPMS systems determine if tire pressure is low by measuring wheel speed, not pressure. If they measure one wheel continuously spinning slower they infer there is an issue and set off the light. So there must be a small...

    Towing with a 200-series Toyota Land Cruiser

    They probably can’t get more caster with your current UCA ball joint setting. That’s possible. If they crack the nut and rotate it one position then retighten to 150# they will add +1 deg of caster. Most shops don’t even know there is an upper adjustment. If you need the instructions let me...

    Yeah, this. Mine hasn’t done it the whole time… definitely started maybe 20-30k ago, that description about slipping is spot on

    Towing with a 200-series Toyota Land Cruiser

    Caster depends on your UCAs. My SPCs have run 4 degree or more. I don’t think there’s a downside to progressive springs but I don’t run them. I have Ironman medium duty which are perfect for my setup without towing though are a bit soft for towing. Caster should be higher on the...

    Towing with a 200-series Toyota Land Cruiser

    ...towing. Airbags might also help but I’d start with a progressive spring. Ignore what the Toyota alignment says… Caster should be more like 3.5* on a lifted truck. Camber should be 0 or maybe a tad negative. When you add weight to the rear the front end lifts… camber increases (more...

    Diff leak at locker wiring grommet

    Nice to know. 4 years is much longer than the original RTV lasted, so that’s a good sign I could not believe how tacky it was compared to regular RTV. Yeah it called for a 24 hour cure. I think mine officially got 20 hours but there’s also some 4 hour cure JBweld underneath. If I don’t...

    Diff leak at locker wiring grommet

    Thought I’d follow up for posterity. Did a trip to Moab and back, so about 4k miles since fixing this. The fix seems solid, no evidence of a leak so far. We’ll see how it looks in a couple years I guess I did mount a bracket to the diff and strapped the wire plug to it to reduce vibration...

    (Another) Front suspension noise/steering rack question

    My garage is about the closest “guaranteed” spot, and that’s probably once or twice a week where I hear this. It’s kind of like something shifts and then it’s quiet for a while, but then something shifts again and it’ll pop for a few turns or a few drives before it’s quiet again.

    (Another) Front suspension noise/steering rack question

    I do have a set. I should’ve bought the wireless ones, the hassle to run wires out of the way of anything moving keeps me from pulling them out and using them sometimes. Originally I thought this was a suspension issue so I’d tried some go pro mounting first since it’s hard to attach them to...

    (Another) Front suspension noise/steering rack question

    It definitely looks tight. I can break out the torque wrench to confirm. My bushings have 150k of wear. The remaining ones I haven’t replaced all seem like they’re in decent shape to me, with the exception of the passengers rear sway bar frame mount which are tight but definitely shot...

    RTH: New LCA ball joints - how do you grease them?

    Ah cool thank you very much. This is super helpful… definitely confirms the FSM is “wrong”. Yeah it seems like there is very little grease in them, as compared to how much usually exists in a greaseable one. I had so much grease stuck around my old one I thought these must have had a lot in...

    (Another) Front suspension noise/steering rack question

    Thanks. This is definitely a short metallic pop. I might try to “drop” the truck to see if I can recreate it, but so far jumping on the bumper and sliders does nothing to recreate it

    Ive heard that too on early models. I don’t think it’s the BP51s since normal bouncing over speed bumps and potholes is quiet

    (Another) Front suspension noise/steering rack question

    It could be anything, I suppose. But it doesn't happen except when I'm turning and on a slight incline like entering a driveway. Rocking the vehicle on the ground doesn't cause it though, and even driving it doesn't happen every time. When I pulled my front skid plate this weekend to see if...

    Towing with a 200-series Toyota Land Cruiser

    Partially their numbers were just wrong of course. Before I moved the battery mine was 785# at the tongue "dry" weight. (note that Lance includes propane, battery, A/C, and other accessories as part of their dry weight, unlike many other manufacturers)

    RTH: New LCA ball joints - how do you grease them?

    Thanks. If I was replacing just the boot that would be perfect. The question is: Since the ball joint came preassembled in the LCA, does it actually need to be greased, or is there just a minimal amount of grease in there from Toyota? The FSM says to apply MP grease but it doesn't say how...

    For anyone wondering, front most body mounts below. The upper section of the driver's side one seems "collapsed" to me, but maybe that's normal? Passenger's side front mount Driver's side

    Yeasu FTM-400 APRS/SMS help

    I know the 400 can log gps coordinates, and I’m pretty sure those go to the SD card. Im Not logging but I do get the log button active, and I have an SD card in the unit, hence I’m guessing that his is missing
