    Sticky Starter solenoid. Ugg

    So when I go to start Lexi, especially when it's cold, I might get a short grinding noise, and the starter will just spin. I let off the starter of course and usually the second (or third time yesterday) it will engage and start. Is it serviceable?

    The story of Lexi, great rig, one drawback (which I need advice on)

    Sunday after Thanksgiving 2022 I took Beast Mode (I named it first Elon) up the mountain to cut down a Christmas tree. It was awesome. On the way up there, buried in deep snow was a rock who hates front axles. I proceeded to hit it HARD. See story here: HERE As I found out, Locking diffs are...

    35 inch snow tires for 16 inch rims?

    I can’t really find any snow tires for 16 inch rim. At least none that are the size that I want. Currently I’m running 315/75 r16. I think running a standard size tire with a lift would look kind of strange. I put in some pictures for reference. Am I gonna have to import some from Sweden or...

    Where does this go?

    So I’m putting a new motor, to me, at least, into my 96 Lexus. This wire looks like it comes off of the coil, however, I don’t know where this end goes . It looks like it’s long enough to go to the battery, but is there a wire directly from the coil to the battery? If so, I guess it goes on the...

    Where is the dlc1 and oil pressure connectors?

    I’m pulling the engine on the 96 and I am not able to figure out where these connectors are. What’s the dlc1?

    This sounds like Valve or Rod?

    Either way, I am pulling the motor. Just want to know which end to start on for a rebuild. Also buying another motor to swap into my (new to me) 96 lex80 youtube short to startup. Oil pressure went up 2/3rds, seemed to run fine otherwise

    How difficult to pull the powertrain from a 1993 and put it in a 1996?

    OBDII is the obvious difference. How much else is different? I imagine theres the post Cat o2 sensor, but is there any parts I would have to switch off of the blocks, assuming everything else is kept the same? I tried looking for an answer on here, but I couldn't find the thread that I am sure...

    Has anyone hit a rock so hard the diff separated a little? (Warning!!! GRAPHIC AXLE DAMAGE INSIDE)

    So I went for a drive Sunday to get the Christmas tree from the mountain. All is snowy and fun and BAM!! A frickin rock smacks the bottom of Beast mode. I think nothing of it, until driving home, the steering is pulling to the right. OK, alignment issues are what I need to fix. I can do that...

    Clicking sound from DS rear wheel

    Well, not sure whats going on. There is a slight metallic clicking sound coming from the wheel area after I park beast mode. The sound is made by slightly rocking the vehicle. It's not a clunk but more of a light clicking. Before I start tearing apart the rear axle, I figure I would ask y'all...

    SOLD  Casper Wyoming: 1994 engine, transmission and transfer case.

    I have the engine, transmission and transfer case out of a 94 FZJ 80. The front end of a car was crunched. The engine appears to be fine. I bought the chassis for parts, have no use for the block, which has been covered up in my backyard for a few years now. It’s mounted on timbers as seen in...

    I hate the wind

    So the wind hyperflexed my door open. Now about halfway out (and in) it pops really loud, but the hinges seem ok and I don't see any impingement on the bodywork. The little slider thing seems to look ok from what I can see, but I feel like there is something damaged because it is obviously...

    200k mile recommended service

    So my 93 turned 200,000 a few weeks ago, and I was wondering what the 200k service should look like. Runs fine. I figure oil, lube and a couple other things. I did the front axle rebuild at 180 just a few years ago. What do you all recommend?

    Ghost starter!

    I went to start the cruiser this morning, and it made a weird sound and then stalled. I turned it off, then back on. It was making a different weird sound, so I shut it off again. I went to dig out the snowblower for the driveway and I look out and see the cruiser turning over, but not...

    Is this normal

    Local Ford dealer is selling a 2011 GX 570 (I hope this is allowed) for a good price, but all the chrome looks corroded. It's not dirt. Is this normal or a known issue? Sorry in advance if this isn't allowed

    100 series brake pads on an 80

    Ok, so here is my question. When I first bought Beast Mode a few years ago, It had some standard pads on it. While doing some baselining, I rebuilt the front axle , replaced the front rotors and, thinking my self rather cleaver, I decided to get the 100 series pads to put on the front. (Bigger...

    Welp, I'm screwed

    I just built a new NWTI bumper and hooked up a winch (emgo 9000). I disconnected the battery to hook up the winch I went to start the car, and the lights turned on. The engine didn't turn over. Hmmm, dead battery? No, voltage is fine. Open door, and the alarm is going off. Great...
