Anybody know the part numbers to replace birfield bearings? Mine are now destroyed. I've been researching this and I can't find the info here nor in the FSM's.
I have a 1992 HZJ-80L with part-time 4wd. I'm pleasantly surprised that the Toyota birfields have the same p/n for the FZJ-80 (i.e...

My fr/rr diff lockers won't engage. It used to work before, until I think I broke some of its circuits because of frequent mud and water. The locker actuators, the ones on top of the diffs, do not engage, but just heat up.
I took it apart but the motor windings seemed...

The BMW 535d has a sequential twin-turbo for its diesel engine with a 3.0L displacement. If can fabricate mounting plates and hoses for the twin-turbo, I wonder if it would be as simple as putting in to the 3.0L 1KD-FTV engine of the new Hilux?
The BMW twin-turbos are...

Anybody converted or got cable-lockers for their electric locking diffs? Like it or hate it?

My 1991 HZJ-80 alternator only has a pathetic 60A output. It's currently holding back my 75%-done plans for a Warn 9.5XP winch and dual battery system, as well as a Mobi-Arc on-board welder. Based on the poll, what do you think is the most powerful and feasible/practical...

I'm kinda on the fence on this one, but leaning towards the use of 90% petrol + 10%ethanol blend.
Pros:
It supposedly gives higher octane ratings, which is goood as I have a TRD supercharger on the UZJ-100.
It's more environmentally friendly than pure gasoline.

Should I get this BJ-40? Aside from the B engine and unusual front hubs,anything else I should be aware of? Sorry for the newbie question, as I have never owned any 40-series yet.

Ever heard of Zinga, for cold galvanization? It costs about US$100 per gallon, and its supposed to protect the metal for up to 30 years even at sea. According to the manufacturer it's even better than hot-dip galvanizing, in terms of metal preparation, application...
