Just wanted to post about this tire for the benefit of anyone wondering. I just bought a set of 5 for my 2006 AHC landcruiser and I couldnt be happier. This vehicle is just a family car for me so it was very important that the ride stayed soft and quiet. My goals were to go up to a 33" tire...
This clown has been trying to sell this truck on the Boston CL for at least the last 2 years. When he first posted it I think he wanted 28k, which I probably would have paid. Then he went to 32 and now he is firm at 37k.....HAhahahahah. Cant wait to see some pics of the undercarriage!

I recently got a screaming deal on an 06 with 80k and blown AHC accumulators. Thanks to all the great info here I was totally confident that I could fix the AHC issue. However, I needed to drive the truck during the ~2 weeks it took me to round up all the parts for the repair. The ride in the...
I am preparing to change my globes and I have been preparing to adjust the system by hosing everything down with PB Blaster every day for a week. Last night I tried turning the TB tension bolts and cracking all the bleeders in the system. Despite extreme care the bleeder broke off my height...
I must have slightly damaged the threads on the output shaft of my h55 last time i staked the nut on. I thought for sure they were m25x1.5 but neither the thread chaser or the die I bought thread on. Anyone know what the diameter and thread pitch is?
I have 500 miles on a new H55, clutch, and rebuilt transfer case (rebuilt it myself according to FSM). Its been great right up until monday afternoon, returning from a 4th of July road trip. I started to notice a jingling noise coming from the area of the t-case. I can only hear it with the...
Hello,
I just finished a h55 install and tcase rebuild in my 87 fj60. Does anyone know what the recommended breakin procedure is for the h55? I just drove it for ~5 miles and a noticed just a bit of high pitch whine, mostly when accelerating and decelerating. Not very loud, pretty sure its just...
Howdy,
I just got my resurfaced flywheel back from the shop and it is missing one of the pressure plate locating pins. I have another used flywheel I could steal the pin from but I cant get one out. I have tried the normal heat and pull with no luck. Anyone know how to get these out? If I have...
2F engine: ran great when I took it out. 200k on the bottom end. The head has about 15k on a professional rebuild. May be willing to separate. It burned / leaked / otherwise consumed about 1qt of oil between oil changes but the plugs always looked perfect and it ran great. $600
A bunch of...
I ordered a hub and axle from cruiserparts.net a few weeks ago. The parts were fine, and I have to say I like those guys generally, but they definitely do not have their sh!t together...and yes, the plastic stuff is saran wrap.
4 Toyota T100 alloy wheels. I think they came from a 97 model. The first picture was the worst looking one so i cleaned it up a little to give you an idea how these will look when they are cleaned. I am pretty sure I have the center caps but I have to look for them. $300
For sale are 5 wagon wheels. I lightly cleaned the one in the first pic to give you an idea how they would clean up. The 5th was the spare and is in worse shape than the rest. there is quite a bit of flaking along the inside weld bead. I am not sure if it is good or not. Its free if you buy the...
Hello all,
While removing the cone washers from my rear axles I got a little overzealous. I found that hammering on the OD of the flange right where it is thinnest is a great way to break the washers free, but it is also a great way deform the flange. I was using a brass hammer but obviously if...
Howdy folks,
I have been working on a junkyard TBI swap for a while now. Currently I have a 2F running on a stand in my garage using the 2F_tbi bin file that someone from the forum was kind enough to send me. It is running pretty well on the stand and I am getting close to swapping the system...
I have just started to dig into a used Australian H55 and xfer case that I acquired a few years ago. My plan has been to rebuild one of the USA xfer cases I have laying around and attach it to the h55 to get the slightly lower low range gear ratio.
Now for the problems...
1) the internal...
I have been working on a 2F TBI conversion using parts I picked up in a junkyard and a spare 2F I have in my garage. I just got it running for the first time last night. Right now I have it running out of a portable gas can.
The GM throttle body has a 3/8" fuel line running into it and a...
Hi Everybody!
I am getting ready to TBI my 2F 60. I stripped all the TBI stuff from a pair of 1500 trucks at the junk yard the other day and got it all for $100. I really want to keep my costs down on this so I need to avoid buying a prom burner. I was hoping that someone out there would be...
I am about to put an OME heavy / heavy setup in my 60 along with the MAF anti inversion shackles that are 1" over the stock shackle length. It seems like most people who do this also put 4 degree shims in the front, so I went ahead and made myself a pair. I understand that the primary reason for...
