    Need Tires HELP 275/70-16 best of please

    Excellent choice on the BFG's! I don't think you'll be disappointed. My wife's LX is just about ready for new boots, and that's what we're putting on. Mine will receive the same when the POS Schwab's wear out too. I've had the BFG's on two XJ's and on my old Dodge Dakota. It seems I always...

    Bookmarked. Thanks Doug!

    LC lawyer needed!

    This is a well thought out assessment. It is ALWAYS cheaper to maintain a used vehicle than to buy a new one, absorb the depreciation and then eventually have to maintain that vehicle also as it ages. What do you do? Sell it and buy another new one so you can begin the process anew? That...

    Mobil 1 on sale at Walmart - trying the EP version for the first time.

    I've been using M1 5W-30 from Costco for years, never a problem. They run a coupon every so often and I stock up for $24/6qt case. I also just bought a case of Castrol Syntech from them. 10w-30 for $19.97. Costco rocks! I've also got Supertech 75W-90 syn blend in the LX diffs. At $5/qt...

    Got my first Cruiser!

    Wow! I wish I had one in P.E.R.F.E.C.T. condition. I guess I'll just have to be satisfied with my two locked 80's in good condition. :flipoff2: Welcome to MUD and congrats. You did good.

    entry level digital SLR?

    Right now, Costco has some screaming deals, and all come with the 90 day return policy plus two-year warranty through Costco's Concierge Service at no additional charge. If you pay with an AMEX card, you get a third year for free. Pretty hard to beat. Costco is where we bought my wife's...

    entry level digital SLR?

    We just got a Canon Rebel XSi for my wife. Amazing!!! It is made in Japan, whereas my brother's Nikon D80 is made in Malaysia or Thailand or some damn place. Japan electronics are still the best IMHO.

    idaho 60 shopping

    Well, not sure why you would want to ditch your superior 80, but if you are going to get a 60, you would do well to jump on the rig in Sun Valley. One owner and garaged. Seems like it'd be worth the drive... if it's still available.

    New owner of a 95 FZJ80!

    Congrats on your new purchase! Personally, I like to maintain factory specs when it comes to suspension. My trucks are driven by my wife often with the kids in tow, so I like to not have to worry so much about roll-over risk, which is already increased in an SUV. I recommend the OME factory...

    Failed bubble test, now what?

    Sorry to hear of your misfortune. I hope you can get it fixed in between all the wedding prep. Idaho Doug sells the head gasket DVD you seek.

    BBBBbbbbbbrrrrrr vibration.Could shocks cause this?

    Absolutely! The soft brass in the bushing, when dry, wears rapidly. The bushing is press fit into the spindle and should not move. Some have had their bushings fall right out of the back of the spindle when removed due to so much wear. You don't want to have to replace the spindle if you can...

    LX450 Clunk between park/drive or reverse

    Does the "clunk" sound like a honk or squeak? There is a TSB out on this. My LX does it as well. If it is the TSB issue, it isn't a big deal. It is just an annoying sound. My local dealer quoted me $375 for the work. The TSB calls for a check-ball to be added to the valve body. The TSB...

    BBBBbbbbbbrrrrrr vibration.Could shocks cause this?

    Yup, I'd bet it's dry spindle bushings. If you just had them done, then I would suspect that they forgot to lube the spindles properly when they repacked your birfs. Take it back and tell them what you are experiencing. The rumble strip sound is a classic spindle bushing indicator.

    VIN Numbers

    As I understand it, all Land Cruisers are made in Japan with the exception of the Bandierante which was made in Brazil through 2001. I think they are still making the 80 series' in Brazil as well. To be sure, if they have a "J" prefixed VIN then they are MIJ.

    JUST BOUGHT 97' 40TH 120K miles....

    I'm gonna make you feel better about this. In 2006, I bought our locked LX with 106k on the clock for $13,500. I spent $1400 to have it shipped. When it arrived, it was NOT what I thought I was getting. But rather than paying the money to ship it back, I chalked it up to a lesson learned and...
