Greetings Mini Truckers...
I recently picked up a 1990 4WD DLX Extended Cab Pickup to add to our motor pool. I have a thread about endlessly baselining my 94 LC over in the 80 Series Tech...but its long and rambling. I'm going to shoot for brevity here.
Photo was from the CL post. Manual...
I managed to shear this stud trying to torque down the nut on the Alternator/ Generator drive belt adjusting bar bracket. I realized that it was a stud and and I could access it from behind the alternator, which I removed and then baked it out with an E10 socket. As far as I can tell this part...
I’m in the middle of replacing my 93’s exhaust gaskets. Pipes are original, and seem to be in good shape. After hitting all my gasket and mating surfaces with a wire wheel I’m just not sure how well things are going to seal up. I’m new at exhaust, so I don’t really have anything to compare...
I’ve been trying to do my homework here, searching through the threads about exhaust builds, but I need some simple confirmation about Part numbers on my 93 LC. I need to replace most of the gaskets and fastners and when I started entering numbers at McGeorge Toyota, some of the part numbers...
I messed up. I lost track of the orientation of wires during a plug transplant for my NSS. I have spent many hours looking for what I need. Its entirely possible I cannot find it because I am such a rank beginner in all these LC repairs. I need the page from the 1993-1994 era FSM or EWD that...
Ok Planning out my NSS harness plug “plug-ectomy”. So far I’m still inclined to do this job myself. Cliffs notes: aging NSS plug had corroded connectors, is causing all sorts of electrical faults (dash lights, reverse lights, and shifting issues)...needs repair. So...
I have found a quality...
So I’m in the middle of a knuckle rebuild. Things are all torn down and clean and I’m waiting on parts. I was wrapping my brain around my leaking front pinion seal and I could use some input.
I previously replaced this’s seal to address a drip I discovered when I filled up my front diff. It...
I just finished tearing down my front knuckles this evening and I discovered that my Right knuckle has some huge gouges on the machined surfaces. I also have a sheared knuckle arm stud to remove and replace. I’m game to try and get the stud remnant out and a new one it, but the knuckle seems...
Hello Great minds of the 80 series community. I’m trying to disconnect the barrel shaped connector that connects my NSS to the harness. I’ve wedged a dental pick under the small retaining clip, I’ve tried to pull this thing apart and I can’t seem to do it given it’s akward location. I’ve even...
Several weeks ago I purchased my first Land Cruiser. Ive wanted one since I was 12 when I visited South Africa on a trip with my parents who were volunteering in South Africa. Needless to say, it took awhile to finally get one (im 38 now), yet here I am with at the key to a 1993 FJZ80 and a...
