Is this a JDM 80? I ask because you front fenders attach differently than my 1994. I literally just removed them and replaced the rubber trim. I have 3 bolts on top that you must unscrew the nuts holding them on from the engine bay, reaching inside the fender. I only have one plastic clip...
What year is your 80? If you have a late OBDII truck, then I think you have to solve the issue of the EGR temp sensor throwing a check engine code. Someone with an OBDII truck can probably elaborate, but I think the ECU needs to see a temp increase from this sensor or it throws a code. My...
In the midst of welding up roof rack holes I noticed that my rain gutters don’t appear to be properly sealed. Anyone else notice this? I know the prior owner had my 80 repainted by Helen Keller, but this seems like maybe they never were sealed properly?
Remember a relay is just a little switch that is controlled by an electric magnet. It needs POS and NEG to energize the magnet to switch. The beauty is that you can run them via a positive trigger source or a negative trigger source, to energize the magnet and cause it to switch.
I let it sit in the sun and I was able to rip them off. I just ordered that eraser disk. The remaining adhesive is going to be a pain…. Thanks for all the advice!
I am running 315/75R16 on the stock wheels with stock gearing. Gas mileage is about 13 mpg. On the flats there is plenty of power for me, but with any moderate grade, you notice it right away. It's more of an issue on the highway than in town driving. My v8 4Runner with 33s and stock gearing...
I have not messed with the brakes on my 80 yet, but I will tell you that the brakes on my 4th gen 4Runner vastly improved when I replaced all of the rubber lines with Stainless Steel braided lines (including the ones running from body to rear axle). You will notice big difference in heavy...
After cleaning this thing, I had a dilemma, how was I going to get it back together? These cylinders were never made to be taken apart. I decided that since the cap on the front was pretty tight, I would mix up some JB Weld and glue it back together. This seems to have worked well. I let it...
Well I don’t like to leave cliffhangers in threads so I wanted to post an update. No matter how much jiggle/twist/shake/push/pulling I did on this key, it was not coming out of the lock cylinder. I got a pm from @ToyotaMatt that said he may be able to help. He gave me his private number and I...
So when I bought the car it came with two key copies. No original keys. One copy was pretty worn the other looked like a newish trace copy. Neither were Toyota keys, both were generic. I ordered a Toyota blank to do a trace copy as I wanted some good working extras. Dude at Ace Hardware did...
