This guy's parting out his 95, I've got a 94.
Odds on the birfields and front inner axles being a match?
Parting Out - 1995 Toyota Land Cruiser N. Florida
I have a 2.5 heavy emu lift and 285's. I like the idea of bigger tires and am waiting for my current KO2s to wear down before I get something else.
But I keep reading about "well if you have 37's then [insert problem here]".
So regearing, extra load on things, etc. How big can you get before...
So I was going down a mountain hill the other day and when hitting the brakes noticed a pretty decent wobble. Also, when turning sometimes I've heard/felt a slight click/thunk. I did a knuckle job on my driver's side last year.
I jacked the wheel up, and got some wiggle when flexing with my...
This started on mojave road in the spring, I started to hear a clunk sometimes on the driver's side when one wheel would drop hard (or try to). My buddy said it was probably the sway bar.
As of a couple days ago (after off-roading) I started hearing it constantly even on the dirt/trashed road...
People on your sar team use it as an anchor point to pull boulders around. In my head I was like "no way in hell are you ripping the bumper off" and "no way in hell are you going to move the truck"
The boulder lost, it came rolling out.
The temps swing a lot here, in direct sun at 9k feet mid summer it gets hot. I noticed a drip of something on my axle and had noticed a bit of dif oil coming out of a knuckle but it wasn't "leaking" persay. I think I have a plugged up dif breather tube.
The source of my "leak" was the top of...
Small town, regular driver, he got a rock stuck between his dual tires there. Tried hammering it out with a 3lb demo hammer but the rock just pushed into the tires and vibrated; nothing firm going on. Tossed the recovery strap over the rock (between the tires) and gave it a yank. Poof!
Not sure...
Took me and my buddy in the white tacoma (to the right of my 80), both of us had m8000's and needed to put snatch blocks on the big ass expedition. Poor kid took his rental out there. A carwash later and the rental shop will never know :)
My passenger side second row window did something a little odd today. It rolled down about 1/4 the way, then flew down into a solid THUNK. I took the panel off, and the little roller pops right out of the track once it's more than 1/4 of the way down. I took a picture at the 1/4 down mark; any...
I was popping my sliders on, and near-ish the frame, forward of the driver's side rear wheel, there was a wiring harness hanging around a bit.
I was curious if anyone knew exactly what that was; seemed like an odd place for something to be hanging about.
On the passenger side, there wasn't anything running down the frame. But on the driver's side fortunately I looked at the inside, and saw a bunch of cables which I'm assuming are brake lines? Either way, I didn't want to crank down on them.
My dumb face in the bottom from trying to hold my...
So I swapped out the radiator. It seems like the engine coolant and transmission fluid both use the fancy radiator I put in, and the air conditioner uses the half-sized one right behind the grill.
So what's up with the metal-finned-radiator thing between the real radiator and the ac unit?
I have a tow strap that's good, but today we used it (didn't have much choice) as a recovery strap and, well, I'd like to get a proper stretchy snap strap.
I've found some on amazon but the reviews seem a little... bad.
Alternator tension bolt on the ground, slammed alternator all the way to engine. Coming up nearly 3/4" short. Oem parts, 90916 02353 83 for my 94.
Can't get first one on, second would be even more nightmareish. Battery out.
I've had an on-again-off-again code 26 (mixture too rich) getting thrown. It seems to show up maybe ~10 minutes into the morning, and after the engine warms up it goes away.
Around the same time I've had some rough idling as well.
The code and rough idle seem to go away at similar times, when...
I decided to put on a new steering stabilizer and had the awesome experience that is removing the balljoint thingies without the right tools. Amazon hosed up and sent me two kits. The grey one I think is what I want: it has various mechanical methods of pushing things around.
The red set there...
I've got a 1994 FZJ-80. My buddy and I are doing the Mojave Road. It's ~140 miles off road from the Colorado River to Barstow, CA. I've heard 3 days is a good amount of time.
Driving ~400 miles to get to the start and ~300 miles back.
Tools:
Good selection of sockets / wrenches, even my...
