    Finally got test drive in an FJ - questions

    The local Toyota dealer I like to use hasn't been able to keep an FJ in stock so I broke down and went to the "big" Toyota dealership (where you get treated like cattle) to get a test drive. I was both impressed and disappointed at the same time. What impressed me was how well the on-road...

    FJ On-Road Manners?

    I'm looking for some initial opinions. I did a search and found a few threads that helped a bit, but thought I might get some more help a bit more on point. I've just started thinking about picking up an FJ Cruiser. My main concern is how these vehicles are handling "on-road", ride-quality...

    Goodbye and Thanks

    I sold my LX450 this week to a local guy and purchased a replacement vehicle. I just wanted to drop a quick note of thanks to the group. It's a great forum with a ton of information that I've utilized heavily over the past couple years. A special thanks to C-Dan for helping me out with...

    Tan Wet Okole Seat Covers

    I have a pair of tan Wet Okole seat covers for an 80-series. These have been used to cover worn leather in a 1997 LX450 for about 6 months. I've decided to replace the leather going forward. They are in very good condition. I paid $250+ for them last year, will sell for $125 including...

    Water injection tank

    I use water injection with my SC. It works very well for me. The only issue I have is the size of the storage tank. I currently use the 1 gallon windshield washer fluid tank. This works well for normal driving as I only fill up with water every 4-5 tanks of gasoline. However, when I am...

    Battery replacement idle issue!?!?

    I just replaced my dying battery with an Optima red cap. On re-start with the new battery the idle surged up and down several times before settling in about 1,200 rpm. On a quick test drive afterward the truck was behaving a little erratically and the idle never came back down to the...

    Cold Air Intake for the 80?

    Does anyone know of a company that sells a cold air intake for the 80? I've got a friend with an 80 that never sees anything but street duty. I could make him one, but I thought I would try to point him somewhere else first. Anyone got a link? Thanks, Mike

    Where's the darn Fuel Filter?

    I know it's right in front of me.....probably laughing at me behind my back. :slap: It's ridiculous I can't find it. Perhaps I shouldn't have had all that cough syrup before I started looking for it. ??? Someone help a guy out. Thanks, Mike

    "Blank" plates on the dash

    A potentially stupid question. I've got 3 black "blank" or "dummy" plastic plates on my dash to the left of my steering wheel. It looks as if the plates are removable and will just pop out. Is this the case? What's the easiest method to remove them...I assume pressure or a release from the...

    Stainless Brake Lines

    Anyone done this upgrade? I've got pretty good life left on my pads and rotors and just flushed the brake fluid, but I'm still not thrilled with the *soft feel* of the brakes. Just wondering how much the lines were expanding. Anyone done the stainless lines upgrade? Results? Thanks, Mike :beer:

    1997 LX 450 Seat Heaters

    The SO wants some seat heaters in the truck before this winter. I'm likely going to install some aftermarket ones, but was wondering where the factory switches were located on LX 450's that came with seat heaters. I've got a couple "blanks" just under and to the left of the radio.....I'm...

    2 1/16" A pillar gauge pods

    For those of you that have them: 1) &nbsp:Do you have a single or double? 2) If you have a single, does the pod fit with the existing "oh sh$t" handle already on the a-pillar? 3) For those with doubles, since you removed the existing "oh sh$t" handle, did you add one above the drivers door...

    343 Transmission Fluid Capacity

    I've seen a couple different capacity amounts in different publications......6+ quarts and 2+ quarts. Kind of a big difference. :eek: Which is correct? Stopping by the store on the way home to change the ATF tonight(first time) and realized I'm not sure how much to purchase. Thanks, Mike...

    Kazuma SC is up and running

    Got the SC in the mail Friday afternoon. Started the install Saturday morning and finished it up Sunday morning. It took me a little longer than it should have because I took out the radiator in order to have room to use my impact wrench on the crank bolt. Overall it was very straightforward...

    I need some OME suspension opinions

    http://www.sleeoffroad.com/products/80_suspension.htm I need some opinions about the stock height set-up with the 861 front springs and the 862 rear springs for my LX 450. My rig would likely be deemed "pristine" by most of you. Sees offroad, but nothing difficult at all, no rock climbing...

    Radiator Upgrades

    I am thinking up trying to upgrade my radiator before the SC install. What are the differences between the 95-97 and the earlier radiators. IIRC, the 95-97 were 2 row aluminum and the older ones were 3 row brass. I had asked this same question on the SOR forum and Cruiserdan was kind enough...

    LX450 Shop Manual

    Where's the best place to get one of these? I tried http://www.toyotaguys.com/ which is where I get most of my parts and he said he could not get any Lexus manuals. I'll hurl if I have to get one from my local Lexus dealership (not to mention I'll likely have to sell the truck to be able to...
