    1997 LX450 Lost a Wheel - Broken studs and ground down bits

    I was thinking maybe something like this. Not this one particularly, but something that can really squeeze in there. It might be a little tricky on the trail, but even there it could help in a pinch. https://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200345429_200345429

    1997 LX450 Lost a Wheel - Broken studs and ground down bits

    It cost me $150 out of pocket to have it towed from Durant, Oklahoma to Joshua, Texas (thanks AAA). I did retrieve my spare. All the lugs were gone, of course. I considered your idea, but I couldn't get my bottle jack under the axle to lift it up and my farm jack, while handy in supporting...

    Good call on the extra studs. I plan to buy all 24. Good tip on getting the new ones in too. I've done that in the past. My biggest concern was that I'd get it all back together and test run down the road and find out the wheel bearings or axle shaft had been damaged or something that requires...

    1997 LX450 Lost a Wheel - Broken studs and ground down bits

    I blew out one of my Goodyear MTRs on the sidewall and they were starting to get a little tired anyway. I think I'm going to replace with Milestar Patagonias. I know they won't last as long, but I like a really solid dual purpose tire and they're half the price of the Goodyears.

    Yeah, that would make sense. I have Procomp steelies on this right now with lug nuts that look similar to the middle style. The spare was on a stock Lexus style aluminum alloy. I guess I'll know for next time.

    1997 LX450 Lost a Wheel - Broken studs and ground down bits

    I just realized you had asked about torque. I torque them by hand using the stock lug wrench. I usually keep a four-way in the truck and I I've torqued lug bolts by hand many times. I realize that's not the same as using a torque wrench, so maybe that was due. I will most definitely keep a...

    By the way, it doesn't look like anything behind The shield was damaged.

    So it's actually the rear driver. maybe I'll get lucky and that will make it easier. Not sure if you can tell by the pics but it's sitting on the rotor.

    1997 LX450 Lost a Wheel - Broken studs and ground down bits

    I went out to scout some trails this weekend and blew a tire. No big deal, we got to some flat ground and put on the spare. Spare fit fine. It's an original Toyota 16-in wheel from a Land Cruiser. Tire size was identical. It's Sunday and I'm driving back to Texas from Oklahoma, so there's no...

    SOLD Washington State (or bordering states) - Military Trailer

    Found an awesome M101A3 about 3 hours from my house! It's been inspected and well maintained mechanically and it was recently sandblasted, powder coated (where applicable) and painted correctly. It also has a brand new top. A little concerned about the 20 year old military tires, but they...

    SOLD Washington State (or bordering states) - Military Trailer

    Yep, I love that. Would prefer the M101 for size, but that is what I would look for in a M1101/2. Where is it located?

    SOLD  Washington State (or bordering states) - Military Trailer

    I really like the idea of the M101A2, but I'm having a hard time finding one so I thought I'd reach out here first. Stock is fine. Even better if it has electric brakes and 12V lighting. Color doesn't really matter, but it would be great if it came with a canvas top and there's something...

    No, I've never driven a HZJ81, but it still looks like a good platform to get part time 4x4 with better mileage, factory lockers, a nice sleeping platform, and about 150K miles. Sorry if I offended your senses by sharing a find. It's not my vehicle and I have no idea who is selling, just...

    Wanted Overland FZJ80 Wanted - Western States Preferred

    No, I bought this one from CaliCruzier81 down in the Bay area. He's an awesome dude who did great work on the vehicle. It has everything I wanted to start with as a platform. We road tripped home, stopping at several cool sites along the way. Runs like a sewing machine and crawls like a...
