    1995 Toyota Landcruiser stalls upon startup. What do I do?

    Odd noise when turning steering wheel upon start-up

    Good afternoon everyone, For awhile now, whenever I start up the cruiser in the morning, I hear a really loud whine like an old belt. Only thing is that it only happens when I turn my steering wheel. It goes away as soon as I let go of the wheel and let it return to normal. Even after 20-30...

    Bad Alternator?

    Good morning everyone one, while enjoying some leave in Las Vegas, my rig wouldn’t crank yesterday. I still had power to AC and stereo, but the engine wouldn’t crank. I decided to start with the battery and had it tested at the local autozone. They said it was bad, so I got a temporary...

    How do I Maintain Paint while running trails?

    Afternoon everyone, Recently bought a 80s back in September, and so far I’ve loved it. The reason why I chose my 80 was because of the immaculate paint job the previous owner had done before they sold it. As much as I love my pavement princess, It’s time to take her off road. My major concern...

    Tips for a Mechanically Impaired New Guy

    Evening Everyone, Had my cruiser recently come out of the shop for some repairs, and while the shop did a great job, it had me wondering "could I do this myself"?
