So I searched and read the FAQ on the steering gear box and general steering issues and found lots that is almost this but not quite. 2 core problems 1) excessive steering wheel play and 2) Rough steering feel. Sounds like whats been asked a million times I know but keep reading.
1. My...
So I suck. I was pulling apaert the power steering pump back plate per the fsm and I didn't have the pump enough over the wood. The damn rotor and vanes fell out of the assembly along with the back plate to the floor. Seven of the vanes fell out of the rotor so I have no idea which slot they...
My radiator is leaking from a 4" long crack in the top plastic tank so it is getting replaced with an all metal one along with the thermostat and gasket. All hoses are pretty new so will stay. I need to replace my high pressure PS hose which is leaking badly and thinking I will rebuild the pump...
I have some 80 parts I don't need anymore up for grabs. I prefer local so I am posting here first before I post in the for sale section.

I have a drivers side Jade Green, or whatever the hell Toyota called that color :hillbilly:, that is free to whoever wants it. The internal mechanism is broken in the usual places where it attaches to the body frame and the mirror needs to be re-glued on. Let me know soon if anyone is...
I just finished a rebuild of my Hellfire knuckles along with the install of 5.29s. When I originally installed the knuckles, one of the ABS compatible sets, the ABS light would come on constantly and the front abs did not work. These were one of the very first sets Billy made and he was having...
I am in the middle of an axle cut and turn and have the knuckles turned and the camber set to where it was before, but I want to triple confirm the factory camber specs since this is a one shot deal. I have searched but only come up with the million plus threads on castor. I got this print out...
Like Pablo I need to borrow a bushing press tool. I am swapping out all 6 radius arm bushings and wanted to check in case there is anyone in the south OC or Vista area that might have one I could borrow. I will pick up and return with some beers as well.
I have been searching for the answer to this but to no avail, so I am hoping someone has addressed this.
Has anybody addressed the issue of checking the preload without having the axle torn down. I would like to check it with just the steering linkage and caliper removed from the knuckle...
Thought I would check with my local bretheren first; Does anyone have an old set of OEM inside the spring front bumpstops sitting around? I need a set but since it will be a "temporary" solution I didn't want to pop for a new set.
Cheers
I need a quick measurement from someone with a totally stock 80. I need to know how many turns from centered to right lock and how may turns from centered to left lock the steering wheel turns in degrees or like a clock, whichever you are more comfortable with, that a factory 80 is. I need a...
Not exactly Scott's Mt. Baldy hike but my own version of an ascent. :D
Decided to make good use a free Wednesday and do a solo trip to Santiago Peak and have lunch. Packed some eats on ice, a lawn chair, and set off. Other than a few Verizon workers who left not long after I got there I had the...
Just thought I would post up and say hello to all of you I haven't seen or talked with here for awhile. New job with new hours has kept me pretty much entirely off the computer as of late.
Got a day watching the Chargers, a :beer: or :beer::beer: and no kids or wife. Only thing missing is my...
I had to put my beloved Tillie to sleep this morning. :crybaby::frown::crybaby::frown::crybaby::frown:
She was fine when we went to bed but we were awakened to her strained partially obstructed breating at 03:30. She was initially unresponsive but regained just enough to give me a kiss on the...
I am selling my BFGs if anyone is interested. Would love to see them go to a SoCal 80 brother.

I have 5 315 BFG A/Ts available. I got them brand new and they have close to 10k on them. They have some minor surface only rock scuffing on the outer treat blocks and some on the side wall but no gouges or punctures. Never had a flat with any of them. There are a couple of outer lugs that have...
I kid you not I did not prompt this or tell him what to do at all. First thing out Christmas morning he wanted to drive his new Heep Santa brought him despite the rain. He drove out did one circle and came up to the curb and slowly crawled into this position. I love it. :grinpimp:
Yes I...
I was driving south on the 55 near the Dyer exit today at 3:15 and saw a white and gold LX450 driven by a pretty lady with black hair. It had an ARB with winch, OME kit and black steel wheels with 285s. I was in the F450 so I wouldn't have been noticeable by a fellow Cruiser head. Anyone?
