    New aftermarket VAF option

    I stumbled across this today, it appears to be a new VAF for 93-94 trucks. No idea what reputation the brand has and its likely from China but for $120 it might be a good option for everyone with a VAF truck with new VAFs being unobtanium for years and used VAFs going for $400 or so.

    Circuit opening relay

    My 1994 FZJ80 was having an intermittent no start issue. Engine would crank and CEL light would illuminate but would not start, after a few tries it would start and then run perfectly. The no start occurred infrequently, maybe once per month. I tracked the problem down to the Circuit Opening...

    Cummins 2.8 actually in an 80

    The idea of swapping in the new Cummins 2.8 has been mentioned a ton but it looks like Proffitts actually did it: Cummins Repower Adventure - Cummins Engines Looks like they're running stock gears although the high gear on the 6L90 could make up for that somewhat. Be interesting to see how...

    Cheap OEM Brake Boosters

    Got an email from Cruiser Yard this morning, they're now stocking made in Japan brake boosters for $327. Hell of a deal compared to the Toyota part and I've heard mixed things about other after market boosters. 80 Series, NEW OEM Seiken Brake Booster, Free Shipping

    Driveshaft Rotational Play

    Was under the 80 today to check the condition of the ujoints and noticed that both driveshafts have some rotational play. With the tcase in neutral I could rotate the driveshafts roughly 10 degrees (a mark on the outside of the pinion flange would move roughly 1-2cm) before I could feel it...

    Valve Cover Gasket Replacement

    I'm getting ready to do replace my valve cover gasket (94 FZJ 80) and I cant find much on this job in my electronic copy of the FSM. It seems like a simple job- remove TB, remove plugs and wires, remove valve cover, replace gasket and reinstall. Does anyone have a copy of the FSM procedure for...

    Gates V-belt failure

    I was doing a quick check of my 94 FZJ 80 today and noticed that one fan/alternator v-belts had almost no tension in it, the other looked fine. I had new Toyota belts lying around so I switched them in. When I removed the v-belt that had lost tension I noticed it was really distorted, instead...

    High Beams Problem

    About a month ago I noticed that my high beams would not work when the headlight stalk was pushed forward, they function normally when the stalk is pulled back. Everything else functions normally. A quick search of Mud turned up a couple posts of the same complaint that were fixed by replacing...

    Flanges for Magnaflow Cats

    Doing some exhaust work on my 94 LC and I'm replacing the original Toyota cats (rusted to hell) with Magnaflow 94004 cats. The Magnaflow 94004s are a universal part and don't come with flanges. Does anyone have a suggestion for flanges to use? I'm planning on using these: Amazon.com: Vibrant...

    Story behind this: A family member has a 2006 100 series, several months ago the LC abruptly started making a grinding noise from the front of the vehicle, it turned out to be one of the front pinion bearings (unknown at the time). The LC was immediately stopped and towed to a local mechanic...

    Oil Filter Changes Idle Speed

    94 FJ80, stock. Last year when changing my oil I decided to use the larger size Bosch oil filter (because bigger is better ;)). After that oil change the engine would initially idle much higher than it had previously then slow down to normal as it warmed up. I had also changed oil brands to...

    Impact Wrench to Adjust Torsion Bar?

    Looking to tighten up the torsion bars to get AHC pressures down, would much rather put an impact on that big old rusted bolt than fight it with a wrench. Is this OK or will it damage something? I would turn the air pressure way down so the bolt wouldn't spin too quickly.

    Stuck AHC Globes

    I started replacing the AHC globes on my 06 LC today, started at the drivers side front, bled it down then used a headset wrench (link below) to try and remove the globe. Damn thing wouldn't budge so out came the BFH and it was off in short order. I noticed the old globe had a decent bit of...

    Fender Damage

    So last week someone backed up into by 94 LC. The driver's side fender is pushed in about an inch just forward of the driver's door and the fender flare is cracked. Unfortunately the way the fender is bent now prevents the drivers door from opening more than a few inches (the door is...
