    Dealing with AC issues after replacing just about every component

    After replacing 90% of my AC, professionally, I'm now having issues. It's either freezing cold until I get it to 78 then it's hot (I've noticed the lever in the engine bay doesn't move at all until I get it to that 78 degree mark) and the next thing is if I have it on the low fan speed and I'm...

    Took the 80 Offroading. Ended up losing power steering and when I got it home it's leaking what appears to be oil at quite a quick rate. Just had red head do my steering gear box as well. Check out the pics. Original power steering.

    Did my ECU just shoot the 💩? Update fusible link worked now it won't turn over. New update, SOLVED

    Well after our trip to Colorado I noticed the next day when I went to start the truck that it didn't turn over until the second time. Fast forward a few days and after installing the new intake hose and vacuum hoses it did the same thing. Now today after installing the blue clutch fan it did it...

    Raptor Style Grill Lights

    I'm in the process of painting my grill and since I have it out I thought it would be cool to put some amber led's in the grill kind of like what we see on the Raptors and a bunch of TRD Pro Tacomas and 4Runners. I didn't find anything searching it so let's see if we can get something going...

    Time to vent (Solved and completed!)

    Because of vent...ilation. I love my 80. I HATE how every single job, even tiny ones, are way harder than they should be. I'm doing the PCV replacement and the damn grommet is harder than diamonds. I'm flipping off those guys that said it took them ten minutes. You know who you are. I got angry...

    How are y'all attaching shovels/axes to the side of your roof rack?

    I just installed the Bowfin cruisers rack and we're about to take our first long trip; Colorado and New Mexico. We've got everything set up except how to mount our shovel and axe. Any recommendations? I saw a couple people use the Thule attachments but only for the stock rack so I'm not too sure...

    93 vs 97 Rear Sway Bar

    Is there any difference? I went on Toyota parts and it shows the same part number but I would like to get another confirmation that they are the same before I purchase a 93 sway bar for my 97. I searched and I didn't find anything after 10 pages.

    Give me your best ideas on how to straighten my front bumper

    I'm in the middle of installing my ARB Bumper and I was really hoping that the bumper brackets were just uneven but that isn't the case. I went to"dry fit" the bumper and there's still about a 1/2-1 inch gap on the driver's side wing of the bumper. Should I heat up the front bumper frame and...

    So this is supposed to be the Koyo Rad?

    Update: well, it turns out they sent me a Lynol Radiator because they said they dont carry Koyo's anymore even though they have it listed on their site. That's some sub-par business practice right there. I'm on a roll this week. 🤦🏼‍♂️ I received my "1917 Koyo Rad" from radiators.com yesterday...

    I'm currently removing my running boards (because of rust and looks) and I got to the infamous back screws. I got the bottom one removed but the top one became loose and will not unscrew.
