    Intro: My $2,700 '03 Tundra

    Hey! I've owned 5 Land Cruisers over the years and decided it's time for a truck. I've been watching the '02 to '06 Tundras for over a year now, waiting for the right truck/mileage/price combo to come along. I'm not sure this was it, but I jumped on it and now it's mine. -2003 SR5 TRD 4.7L...

    '92 - Does a AFM failure always throw a code?

    Getting lots of hesitation while driving. I'm thinking multiple choice 1. MAF 2. Bad fuel 3. Fuel filter 4. Fuel injectors 5. Fuel Pump 6. Distributor No check engine light and I don't think it's burned out. Did I miss anything?

    EWD for rear locker?

    We are troubleshooting the rear locker on my son-in-law's '99 100 series. I've been through a few of the rear locker problem threads. I own an 80 and I'm familiar with the basic troubleshooting of just drive it until it remembers to engage (figure 8's, gravel, CDL engaged in low...). Tried that...

    Coolant spill clean up help

    We had a scare today. First we saw this: Coolant. Weird that it was in the driver's side. Checked under the hood, no leakage. Went around the back and saw this: What the...?? What leaks from the DS footwell AND the rear quarter?? A tipped over gallon of coolant with a loose lid. It ran all...

    RTH: PS Pump idler pulley and rattling

    I'm in Waldport, OR recovering my 92 3fe from my brother's field and the PS pump is rattling. I'm trying to head out today to drive home through Bend, Boise, and on to SLC. The belt isn't maintaining tension. I'm trying to adjust the idler pulley, but I'm not having success. The pump is...

    99 LC - What keeps a rear locker from locking?

    My SIL just bought a 100 series today (cash pending) and the rear locker doesn't lock. PO "hasn't looked into it much" in the 3+ years he's owned it. He did say he's inspected the rear diff and there's never been any metal shavings. I figure: 1. Switch 2. Connectors 3. Some kind of actuator...

    SOLD  UT, SLC - '95 LC - Come get it!

    Due to some health issues (I had a stroke recently) I'm done with my parts rig. It's in my shed in Bountiful, UT and I need help getting it out. I'm no use, so "help" is a generous term. My boys and I started pulling it apart to part it out but soon learned we are lousy at follow up and...

    Yamhill, OR to SLC, UT offroad routes?

    My daughter left for college and I delivered her open diff '92 FJ80 to my brother in Yamhill, Oregon. He's already added a 9k winch and is planning more upgrades and maintenance, so this is a win. When she finishes in 2 years and comes home, we're planning an offroad trip to return the rig to...

    What battery charger do you love?

    I've owned a few Harbor Freight chargers and they seem to fall apart after the first year, and continue to do a basic job for a few more years before they finally just fail. I'm looking to buy my last and only battery charger. What's your favorite?

    Ned is tired. $$-$$$$ considerations and suggestions needed.

    Hey tech crowd! My '97 80 is getting tired and I need some suggestions. Here's the story: I bought it in 2016 with 180k on it, but there were leaks and it was consuming oil at the standard rate for an older Land Cruiser with average maintenance, maybe a couple quarts between changes. I bumped...

    Identifying excessive oil consumption in a used car

    Hey, Mud world! My daughter and her husband really want a used Subaru Outback. They can either choose from a version that has known Timing belt and Head Gasket issues, or known issues with excessive oil consumption, leading to downstream issues with cats and sensors and the like. It's easy...

    Shocking poll questions!

    Edit: (I tried to remove the poll and couldn't figure out how to. You can disregard it) I replace my shocks way too frequently I think. I'm trying to get a feel for what others are doing. I was going to post a poll, but I can only figure out how to post one question. Here are your questions and...

    Is it possible to remove TRE's without destroying them?

    It's all in the title. I removed the steering gear from 92 to rebuild it and I ripped up the boot on the TRE separating it from the pitman arm. I have a good TRE on my donor 95, but I don't know if it can be removed without ripping up the boot as well. I've tried the puller tool and I just...

    First battery impact wrench. How to avoid breaking bolts

    I just bought my first battery powered impact wrench. I got the Makita. I know...Milwaukee has more power, feels better in the hand...if I need to upgrade I will. This was the right price at the right time and I've got the batteries. My question is this: I have used my air impact wrench and...

I compiled a google spreadsheet with the info that was...

    Cheap cross bar ideas for roof rack brackets?

    My son has the FJ80 up at college and needs a cheap but sturdy roof rack. I've got 4 brackets, but no cross bars or rack. These are the brackets... I've made one out of an ATV ramp once... Didn't do a very good job. I've also used sign posts like from a stop sign. He thinks that's too redneck...
