    planning club runs, how many miles should I plan for?

    I'm working on some fun runs for my buddies around the Columbia SC area. There are hundreds if not thousands of miles of sand and red clay roads around here. Nothing too sporting, but I've had to winch out a clay pit a couple times. There are a few creek crossings too if you know where to look...

    Check engine light turns off while wheeling

    Comes back ON, on pavment....🙄 I guess it's time to find the broken wire in the #1 O2 heater circut. Or just spend more time wheeling... She seems to like it. :)

    Two footing on loose surfaces, GX chopped the throttle automatically, is this normal?

    My rig is an 80 series (LX450), but this past Friday we took my wife's '14 GX460 to go play on some gravel roads. I tried to drive it like I do the LX (very user input orientated) and the computer wouldn't let me. I was in 4Lo, center diff lock off, on a steep gravel incline and it was...

    Exhaust muffler baffle rattle, how to fix?

    I'm trolling for ideas. I've narrowed down my exhaust rattle to the baffles in the muffler coming loose. It's about 18 months old and non-OEM. So far I have used percussive maintenance and crimped them in place by crushing the outer skin around them with a ball-peen hammer. But that's not...

    Stock Underframe exhaust, bash plate design and build. (Completed)

    My underframe (stock) exhaust took quite a hit last June and almost ripped the O2 sensor out of the pipe. Never again! :flipoff2: (or at least this is my first attempt). This is the bash plate skeleton tack welded together. It's 1/4" A36 plate. There will be a couple more gussets added and...

    How to reattached the rubber carpet guard in driver's footwell?

    I stole the above image from Hudd Expo The rubber pad is falling away from my carpet and annoys me. It gets between my foot and the gas peddle once in a while too. I have tried gluing it back in with a couple different contact cements and 777 spray adhesive. Nothing as worked so far. I'm...

    What is spindle oil, in relation to Fuel Injector o-rings?

    Changing my fuel injector o-rings today and the FSM says to use gasoline or spindle oil to lube the o-rings. I'll use gasoline, because it's available and easy... But what is this spindle oil Mr. T speaks of? You know for future reference. Obviously Googling "spindle oil" just comes back with...

    Propeller shaft Discontinued or on back order with no ETA

    Part No.: 37110-60520 SHAFT ASSY, PROPELLE Well...POOP! I need a new drive shaft, rear. The slip yoke splines have play and if I don't grease on the regular (like every 1000 miles) it growls something awful. Any suggestions: Custom Used (crap shoot)

    Cruise Control lightly surging at around 1Hz

    Since re-gearing to 4.88's the Cruise Control is acting funny. The throttle is surging, but very lightly. Nothing shows on the Tachometer or the Speedometer, but there is a light acceleration and deceleration at around 1 pulse per second or second and a half. (1 to 1.5Hz) It's super subtle...

    Driveline growl at slack throttle, SOLVED 11/12 update

    After the re-gear to 4.88's the u-joints died at around a 100 miles (they had black paint on them so I figured they were original 260K miles). I changed the u-joints this weekend and everything was happy, till this afternoon and the growl is back. Its sounds and feels exactly like when the...

    Bought the wife a 2014 GX460 for her birthday, and I have some questions.

    Personally I think she's just jelly of my 80 Series, but all jokes aside, this thing is a sweet ride. I'm hoping someone can answer my questions on this new to us beastie. 1) At shut down, there is a distinct sneeze, or chuff sound into the air box. Is this normal? It reminds me of a back...

    Growling Howling bearing sound after front end rebuild!!

    HO LI FK! I thought for sure I had cocked up my front end rebuild. Recently I regeared my baby and added ARB's to the rear and front axels. While in the front end I changed EVERYTHING. Took me three weeks of on and off work, waiting for new parts etc. etc. About a hundred miles into the gear...

    Been a long two weeks, the Bean's out of the "sick bay".

    The parking spot next to the garage is where my daughter normally parks; unless I'm working on something, then its termed "the sick bay" as its closest to the tool boxes. The Mean Green Bean has been in the sick bay for two weeks (three weekends). Rebuilt the whole front end, new TRE's, knuckle...

    Pinion Bearing, Crush Tube Questions

    I know what the book and the interweb says about the crush tube, it's to set bearing preload...I'm having a hard time with this explanation, to the point of tossing the Bull S#!t card. The inner and outer bearing races are fully seated into the machined cast iron seats in the diff housing. They...

    Electrical Issue, ARB solenoids not firing (Solved)

    Below is the electrical diagram for my ARB air lockers and York compressor. The York circuit is working perfectly. The relays that are powered from the OEM locker switch have power and cycle. Audible clicks when locker dial turned through RR and FR positions. When the ARB plug is unplugged, the...

    Diff rebuild, made a fixture this afternoon...

    The boy helped me with this fixture. It mounts across my BIG bench and is held down with a couple C-clamps. Its rotates, and indexes in 90 degree increments. And folds up nice for storage. I tossed a gasket on it to show how the third will sit and get clamped to it. Now I just need to get...

    Filled up with gas this A.M. Missfire on cylinder 4 100ft out of the parking lot.

    SOB! Having a hard time believing it's just coincidence that I suddenly lose a fuel injector. I'll run all the standard diagnostics but my guess is I have 25 gallons of fuel I probably have to dump and a clogged injector. Any thoughts from the collective?

    winching 101 with the kids today.

    I had a fair number of bushes and small trees that needed to be removed and instead of using a shovel and axe, figured it was a great opportunity to break out the recovery gear and show the kids how to use it. Equipment involved: My LX450 "The Mean Green Bean" Badlands 12K Apex 20ft' of logging...
