Does this thing come off or do I need a special adapter? None of the fittings or adapters in my AC vacuum pump/gauge/charging kit thread on it. It looks like a Schaefer valve. I can thread onto the low side no problem as it’s a different size. I’m a complete AC noob so please have mercy on me...
I was under my truck and one of the bottom side nuts are gone! The lug nut I tried didn’t fit so I’m guessing it’s M12x1.25 or M14, anyone know off hand?
So I drove from so-cal to WA state and back and everything seemed fine the whole time.
The next day or two I drove around for about an hour and parked and noticed the coolant in the expansion tank was boiling. At no point did the stock gauge deviate from the middle. Next thing I did was try to...
1992 3F-E. My battery and alternator are good. Sometimes when cold starting it “hesitates” when cranking, the lights will all go dark and it stops cranking, but a split second later it resumes cranking/lights are on. Most of the time it starts normally but since it didn’t used to do the...
Hey guys, my shaft/pulley has some wobble while it's running and I have weak power steering.
I'm debating on trying to rebuild the pump but I'm wondering if the wobbling pulley indicates that the shaft is bent, or if that's just something they do when they're worn out. I don't want to rebuild...
Sometimes I have to try cranking the engine up to 4 times (turn the key and crank for a few seconds) for it to fire up and start, but usually it starts right away. It cranks hard and I’m fairly certain fuel pressure is good. Cap and rotor is new and I’m pretty sure there aren’t vacuum leaks. To...
I am considering a Wilson magnet antenna but I’d like a permanent antenna. I’m wondering if a 102” antenna mounted to the back corner near the tail light would be better or worse than a magnet on the middle of the roof.
What are some good but practical options here?
Did the fj80 originally have a coax type antenna plug in like most cars have, or is there some kind of wire that goes to the antenna? I am putting in an aftermarket deck and my existing wiring has been hacked so I’m not really sure how to get the antenna signal. To clarify I’m not talking about...
Ill provide more details later, but what would it mean if the oil pressure goes up when you start it, then as the idle normalizes the gauge drops to zero. The first time I started it the gauge went all the way up then at some point it went back down. I need to find a way to confirm if there’s...
Both of my tail lights are destroyed. There are some sets for $75, cheapest I've seen a good set of used OEM is $150. Are the aftermarket ones garbage or do they hold up OK?
I understand the wisdom of LEDs however (maybe it's just me) most (all?) of the LED tail lights are aesthetically...
Are there any good deals on all aluminum radiators for these engines? All I'm finding are plastic tank ones and the CSF. The cheap all aluminum ones I'm finding are for the turbo or the later motors, or don't have sufficient info on fitment.
I'll get the CSF if it's the best one, but if I can...
Hi everyone. My name is Mike and I live in Washington state. I've always wanted a land cruiser but I've never considered getting one since they are too expensive for my beater budget (I have one "nice" car and one beater). My beater until recently was a 1989 Toyota pickup, 5 speed 22RE 2WD. Good...
What's the preferred way of working on these trucks? They're tall and heavy and I'm curious what jack and jackstand setups you guys are using to safely remove wheels and tires, and work under the vehicle at home.
Hi everyone,
I am looking for technical drawings of bumpers with good dimensions and material info. I do not wish to copy a design that is being sold currently, however the information would be quite useful to me because it would expedite the process of generating my own print and having one...
