Are there "better" wire wheels out there, or a form of wire wheel that doesn't shed mini shrapnel so much? It may just be the nature of the beast, but I feel like I need a full buffalo hide suit and face shield when using a wire wheel.
I know some of you folks make sawdust from time to time. I have a quick story. I own a 1975 Rockwell 28-200 bandsaw. It's the ubiquitous 14" cast iron saw that has been basically the same forever, under many brand names. No, it does not have the gear reduction for metal cutting:( which I...
I'm curious what people think about having fuel can swingouts? I'm going to speculate that 2 full scepter 5 gallon mfc's will weigh 70 pounds. I know there are a lot of folks on here that run a MT tire/wheel combo that hits close to that weight.
All things considered, having a couple of...
Hello. I went nutty and did whole new seats, so these covers are for sale:
Marathon dark gray cordura seat covers (part # 380)
This is front row only, I never ordered any others.
Customization bits: Map pockets on both seat backs, and a "knee pocket" on the front of both seats. I think they...
We had some dude wake us up last night by ringing our doorbell about 12 different times. I was debating bearing arms, but resisted that urge. When I first looked out the window to see wtf was happening, I see there's a 4runner dead center blocking our driveway. My first thought is how in heck...
I have a pair of front door mirrors from an FZJ80. I have never tested them. Drivers side seems solid. passenger side has some mild version of the "shaky mirror syndrome." other than that, they are in decent shape for used mirrors.
$125 for the pair, this includes the ride.

Will anyone chime in with details? I think @2fpower did some 4th gen prelude seats in one of the "utes," but I only remember a side view picture, and a note that they were comfortable.
Has anyone else installed Prelude seats?
The rails are 16-3/4" center to center , but more like 17-1/4" total...
Hello. The reason I am posting in the 40-55 section will become clear. Has anyone received an incorrect steering box from West Texas Off-road within the last year? I sent them an 80 series box, and the 105 upgrade parts but got an incorrect box shipped back. If I was more well versed in all...
Hello.
I'm trying to "clean house" as it were and I keep finding boxes of stuff full of things I don't think I will use.
Item the first; York OBA stuff Wit's-end YRK-1 kit This is the custom York compressor bracket, the nice custom 3-groove pulley, an oem tensioner, an oem belt, and some...
I'm just curious if anyone has tried this stuff. kano labs makes a bunch of specialty lube type products. They're probably best known for "Kroil" and "Aero Kroil" penetrating lube.

I've been watching a lot of the off-road videos from Australia lately. Dobinsons is selling what looks to be a really well spec'd rtt for the money. I did some searching, and couldn't find the tent at first. It looks like it is a Wild Land "desert cruiser" model, and isn't quite shipping...
'94 FZJ80
So, I got into the knuckle/birfield job today. It turns out my passenger side didn't have a dang keyed washer in it. Which also explains some of the weird stuff I saw in the other parts. any ideas where I can get a keyed washer on really short notice?
Trailer parts store? Napa?
Here's the lowdown,
It's edging into the crap time of year to wrench in the driveway. I had the work Tundra in the shop, so I thought I would hand them the FZJ80 when it was done to narrow down the possible light/vague/sloppy steering culprit. They got as far as the left front wheel bearing...
I've been stalled out on my Summit Cruisers Jr. Swing out kit for quite a while. One reason out of many is that I wanted to retain the ability to tow. My truck had a what I thought was a factory hitch welded to the frame.
Fast forward a bit;
I've done most of the preliminary fitment and...
OK; 08 Tundra, SR5, 5.7 Liter ,no mods, 149k . I left for work this moning and promptly had the 4lo flashing, the vscoff flashing, check engine light on and traction control light on. I pulled over at the next exit and check battery connections, and briefly went through fuses. Truck was...

I stumbled across an auction listing for one of these guys. Nothing else to report, I thought it was funky. If anyone has seen one or used one, I'd be curious to hear how it worked.

Hello. I know there is a lot of knowledge throughout this forum, so I'm hoping someone can set me straight. I've been slowly refurbishing an ez-loader boat trailer. The tongue brake actuator and drum brake hubs were garbage when I bought it, so for now I am converting to a standard no brakes...
I did search, but Didn't find specific results so...
Is it possible to retrofit the height adjustable upper seatbelt mount out of the later trucks into a 94?
The B-pillar trim is obviously quite a bit different, but is the body sheet metal the same?
This would mainly apply to the passenger side...
Hello.
Here’s the story; the ‘08 Tundra we bought came with a “high output” or “charging” alternator per the po. I’ve had the stock one sitting in a cabinet since. The odd alternator finally crapped out last week, and the boss said to get a new one (warranty) instead of the used one we had.
The...
