Brain trust,
I have installed a turbo and I am very happy with the results. Only running 5-6 pounds boost. Everything is stock. So the question I have is about the A/F ratio. In the attached link I have a short video of me driving on the highway showing my A/F gauge. It seems I am running lean...
Same issue that many people have mentioned before, low oil pressure. I have a test gauge connected to the place where the oil pressure sensor goes. It reads 60lbs at start up. When the temp reaches 195ish, at idle, the gauge goes down to 4lbs then after a few minutes, it goes down to 0. I...

After jumping my truck the windows, ac, and most of the dash don't work. The transmission will not go into over drive. In the woods camping and its a long way home driving in third gear, no ac, and I can't roll the windows down.
Fusible like at the battery?
Ok. just spent 30 minutes searching for beadlocks that fit an 80 in the forum. Not finding the info I want.
What companies make a 16x8 beadlock in black that requires NO modification or spacers and fits properly?(correct backspacing). Name of particular style would be appreciated.
Just thought I would share pictures of my new drawer system from Landshark Outfitters. The quality, fit and finish are superb. For those that are not familiar, it comes as a kit that you assemble and customize to your tastes and needs. You can tell quite a few hours went into R&D to make the...
Ok, So I put a 3" Dobinsons lift on my truck.(It had a 2" before, looking for more articulation with Flexi colis) The truck drove great and tracked well on the road without any adjustments but I still wanted to get a professional alignment. The only issue was the steering wheel was 90 degrees...
As the title states, is there a company that makes a diagnostic scanner that will read and reset the ABS and SRS codes on a 97 LX450 or Landcrusier? I have a scanner that scans OBDII codes, and I have a brand new scanner that is supposed to read ABS and SRS codes on Toyota/Lexus. Not working. I...
I have an lx450 that I want to replace the front leather from lseat.com. Sourcing the lower seat foam is difficult and more expensive than the same for the Land Cruiser. Will I be ok if I order the seat covers for the 80 and replace with 80 foam? I guess the real question is, what is different...
Can anyone point me in the right direction for the part number and availability of the plastic belt clip for the exterior window molding? I have some good used molding strips that I want to install and the clips are broken. I have searched everywhere I know, all I can find is the whole strip...
This hose cost $24 plus shipping for an OEM hose. I could not source bulk 5/8"(16mm) power steering hose from any of the local auto parts stores, I tried them all. Lots of heater hose in that size, but as you know, it will not work.
I purchased a bulk lot of gates power steering hose. I have...
I just replaced the exhaust on my 97LX with Bosal. The truck has 260k and was getting too loud for my wife. This truck will be a daily driver for my 16 yr old daughter. I had hoped that it was going to be considerably quieter than it is. I was shooting for LS430 quiet. :} I have a 97 armored LC...
Ok,
So I am replacing the exhaust on my LX from the Y back. I broke one of the header bolts off where is connects to the Y. I drilled the bolt out and I am having a very difficult time tapping the drilled hole.
Is there a trick I am missing?
At this point I am ready to drill a larger hole...
So in my search for a reasonably priced alternative to OEM coolant, I came across this at Pepboys. It is full strength!!!! I need enough for 3 cars, so I get another 25% off of 5 jugs($100). That is less than 1/2 the price of OEM.

Ok,
I have searched for the last 30 minutes looking for a replacement for 44348-60170. I can't find 3/4" power steering hose in bulk in any local auto parts store. I don't want to pay $25 plus shipping for about 18" of straight hose.
What have others/you used for a non OEM replacement?
So, I needed new front speakers for my new $750 LX450. The speakers were blown, no, I mean BLOWN, like a bomb went off. They were in pieces. I was looking for replacements on Amazon and found these http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001586MJ4/?tag=ihco-20. They make them in 6.5", but I got the 5.25"...
I just replaced the steering wheel cover on my new 1997 LX450. I have read many threads on recovering steering wheels. Some costing over $400.00. Since I only paid $750 for my entire truck, that was out of the question. I found another solution. A Superior Automotive genuine steering wheel...
