    Running 12V fridge/etc

    Lots of great posts on here so far with insights/comments/specs on the new LC250/LX550/4R. One topic I haven't seen discussed is whether the hybrid battery can be used for anything besides running the hybrid motor. Since the LC250 comes stock with a good sized "second" battery, how does that...

    Weboost Antenna Cable Routing

    Hi all, I have a 2008 LX. I am installing a Weboost Drive Reach OTR. I decided to put the Booster into the bottom of the center console. The included antenna wire isn't long enough to run out the back hatch. Is there a clean way to run the wire to the roof via the door molding? The molding...

    Finding part numbers?

    Hi all, I am mid-way through base-lining our new to us 2008 LX 570. Brake fluid, PS fluid, diffs, transfer case, rotors & pads, drive-shafts. More to come in the next few weekends. As I go through this process I am finding that there are multiple missing fastners/etc. Nearest lexus dealer...

    Winter tires on an LX570?

    Hi all. Hope to get some advice please on a new to me 2008 LX570. I live in Central Oregon and spend alot of time skiing. So frequent trips on winter roads. We use blizzaks on our Subaru, so I'm familiar with the benefit of dedicated winter tires. Since the LX is new to me, I don't have any...

    Towing a 60 backwords?

    Hi all, I know there are posts about towing a 60 either flat or on a dolly. Removing the rear DS is the recommended approach. I will be moving soon, towing my 60 on a dolly behind the moving truck. A friend suggested I could tow it backword, rear wheels on the dolly. Thus no need to remove...

    ARB Tire Inflator Mod

    I have an ARB tire inflator, for the most part it's fine. However one annoying aspect is that the clip that connects the hose to the valve stem nearly always leaks. My previous solution was to press the clip onto the valve stem with one hand, and hold the inflator in the other hand. I...

    echo link

    I think I understand how echo-link works from base-station to base-station. But I am not sure if or how it works while mobile. Assuming two hams have echo-link enabled radios in their vehicle, and are far enough apart that they do not have a repeater they can both hit. As long as there is an...

    bleeding or flushing brake system easily

    Hi all, It was time to flush the brakes on my 60 and my sons 80, so we used the mighty 2F vacuum brake bleeder kit. This was posted on here a few years ago - it's not my idea - and it works so well I thought it needed to be reposted. This "kit" is easy to make and to use. And it's cheap...

    FI tech

    Saw a thread in the FB Landcruiser group about this company... http://fitechefi.com/products/ I did some searching, including on Mud, and don't find anything about whether this could work wll on a 2F. There are some posts on jeep forums, but I only found ones regarding V8 installs, not the I6...

    ABS Storage Tube

    I wanted to find an easy way to store my fuel can spout outside of the truck. Turns out that 3" ID ABS pipe works great. Threaded end-cap is easy to remove by hand.

    Manual HAC

    If you are desmogged, and still want a functional HAC, you can repurpose one of the electrical VSV's to that end. The concept is very simple - install an on/off switch on the dash, one side connected to a ignition hot. The other side goes to the VSV. The VSV for it's part needs a source of...

    testing an NMO mount

    Hi all, I am in the process of installing a 2M Yeasu 2900r into my 60. I decided to do a dual antenna system. 1/2 wave off the back drivers side for when there's a lot of overhead "stuff" & a 5/8 wave in the center of the roof for open areas where distance is desirable. I have an a/b...

    Wiring Diagram for Overhead Console

    I bought one of these recently, I don't really need it, but thought it would be interesting to figure out how to install it. Plus the extra lights will be useful for sure. That's rationalizing, I know. I think they were in HJ61's. Not sure though. It would be a whole lot easier to sort out...

    2M Install - 5/8 wave on roof rack?

    I am studying for my ham test. Going well, excited to move to that communication medium. I bought a Yeasu 2900R since it's on sale at HRO for $119 (and free shipping). I've read through a bunch of threads on here and on expo, and the obvious antenna choice is a 1/2 wave larsen whip (150B hw)...

    60 or 80 series steering gear box?

    It's past time for dealing with my worn steering gear box (everything else has been rebuilt/replaced and functions correctly). At ~350,000 miles it's served well. The question is whether to rebuild my existing 60 series box, or to switch to the 80 series box. Switching to the 80 series box...

    blue smoke when compression braking

    Would like some opinions on likely causes please...here's the story... My 60 has a used motor that I've put 100,000 miles on. No idea the mileage on the motor when it was installed, though I can't see how it was any less than 100,000. Motor runs fine, though it's down on power. Compression is...

    8274 upgrade question

    I am rebuilding my 8274. I've upgraded to the warn 9.5xp motor. Otherwise it's a stock winch. I've seen in some threads that people add two reinforcing bars between the main housing and the floating end. I can see that these would stiffen up the whole assembly, but my question is how...

    Mechanical Oil Pressure Gauge Install

    Since it's often said on here that the stock oil pressure gauge is more of an idiot light than a gauge, I decided to install a mechanical one. I found a VDO gauge that I liked, and it came with a variety of adaptors that worked. I installed the sender into one of the two bolts that hold the...
