I set out to install my new dissent off-road rear bumper yesterday to discover my rear crossmember has been damaged. The damage has likely been there a while and I am certain replacement is the only option. Has anyone had their rear cross member replaced before? What kind of shocking repair...
Strange thing has been happening the last couple weeks. On three occasions the keyless entry has not worked and there is no power at all. Turn the key and there is nothing. I have a dual battery system and if I manually combine the batteries everything turns back on. I am essentially jumping the...
A guy on youtube sent me this video of a Landcruiser HDJ 100 frame restoration and it is pretty cool. Not sure if you all have seen this, if it's already posted here, or if the creator is on here but it's worth a few minutes for sure.
I have a thread for my 100 series on mud and figured I would start a build thread over here too. I am starting to plan a few things and want to start a running tab of the things early. I will eventually do videos on all the installs and post them here too.
Here is the baseline walkaorund of our...
You will normally find me on the 100 series forum but I just picked up an 04 Tacoma this past weekend. I didn't intend to mod it much but the shocks are shot. Last night I found myself deep in the details of lift possibilities so I'm not sure how long I can fight the mod monster. I look...
Hey guys,
I currently own a 100 but have had this itch to add an 80 to the driveway.
I am going to look at one today. It’s a 1994, looks very clean, has about 156K miles, is triple locked, and no mods as far as I can tell. The guys is asking $9900 which I am sure is not firm and seems high...
I have a bunch of original equipment I am willing to sell at a great price if you happen to be near central VA.
Torsion Bars Sale Pending
Front and rear shocks Sale Pending
Upper control arms
Roof rails
Running boards
Front bumper
stock diff cross member
Thanks
Chuck
I am trying to figure out if I can put on a front runner slimline 2 and hopefully an alu-cab shadow awning and still get in the garage.
Can anyone tell me the height from the roof line to the top of the rack at the rear mount?
If you have an alu-cab shadow awning, the height from the roof...
I have decided to replace my front axles. Mine are throwing grease and look like they have been for a while. They aren't making any noise and while I could probably reboot and get by I am under the impression that biting the bullet is the best route and will get me the next 200k. Opinions...
I have been reading dozens of threads in preparation for a 2.5" medium lift from Slee including diff drop and UCAs. I have a good deal of weight in the rear (homemade drawers, fridge, slide, and gear) so wouldn't be surprised if it is more like a 2" lift.
I want to make sure I am not missing...
My wife currently drives an MDX and runs it ragged commuting to school. She is going to finish up in the next year or so and I have convinced her that we should get something that can run offroad with the land cruiser. I would be fine adding a second 100 but she says it's too big. However she...
Hey everyone,
I figured it was about time to start a build thread. I am planning out a bunch of projects this year and wanted to keep a running tab of the things I have done. I am attempting to do videos of all the installs and will post them here.
Here is the first video we did right after...
I decided to knock out a tailgate cover while I was doing my DIR drawers so I could use the monstaliner I got for the drawers at the same time. Just like the drawers I am working on a write up but it's not good enough to post here yet. As soon as I knock it out I will post it here. I spent...
First a huge thanks to this forum and specifically @Tareq @LandCruiserPhil @CruiserDave @00fourseventy and everyone else I missed that chimed in on all my DIY drawer questions.
I have been meaning to post this for a while but haven't had time to finish a decent write up. As soon as I knock one...
I recently saw a video of a 200 series where they rewired the batteries to use the auxiliary battery as the start and the OE battery location as the auxiliary. This makes a ton of sense to me for the 100 since the start battery is huge and would run much longer as the auxiliary. I am hesitant...
My search skills are sucking today because I know I have seen this before. Can anyone tell me their experiences running large gauge auxiliary battery wire along the frame and into the rear.
Where did you enter the vehicle?
Did you protect the the wire?
How specifically did you run it?
Would...
I have an extra set of alloys from a sequoia. The tires on them are pretty much shot. A shop in town has a set of steel wheels with near new all weather tires. I ultimately wanted to use the wheels for a trailer build to have matching wheel and tire sizes with the cruiser.
You think I...
I know there are tons of threads on drawers but I had to ask.
I drew up some plans and like the idea that I can DIY with special features just to my liking. I am expecting all the materials will cost me $500-$600 (mostly in the slides). I expect it will take me much longer than I plan...
I am usually over on the 100 series forum but helped a friend install an off-grid engineering dual battery kit. It took a little longer to install than expected since we made a couple enhancements to the install to avoid potential issues in the long run. It is a pricey kit but my buddy didn't...
