Anyhow the bearing arrived at my dealer warehouse and I just have it in mi hand, monday it will be installed together with a new...

    H4 and H1 headlight conversion

    Our VX's top of the line trim came with the E H4 Low / High and the H1 High headlamps and both H4 high and H1 are OEM wired together so I guess that at least our wiring harness is rated for the load. I replaced my H1's with 100 W bulbs many years ago and didn't have any problems yet...

    Low Beams Gone

    When any of my low or high beam bulbs fail after it's normal life span, I don't take any chances and replace both of them at the same time, and of course I do the same with the stop bulbs.:D

    aluminum radiator

    I would bet Toyota's decision was more based as to save $$$ All their other models had aluminum radiators so why stick with copper/brass ? I replaced mine with the same copper/brass OEM 3 years ago. At least on my case, in a third world country, when driving way out of civilization ...

    stock steel wheel issue

    For my FJ40 I had to add a 2" bolted wheel spacer to clear the calipers on my modified full floating rear, after I replaced the drum brakes with front discs. I use OEM FJ80 foreign market 16" steel wheels.

    What's your ultimate gas engine swap for an 80?

    People here are quite disappointed with the perfomance and feeling of the 200 series sold here which only came with the 4.7. A 5.7 is way better for what you require, you will have to deal with the FI ECM conversion and many other details but in the end it will be great. I like better a NA...

    limited slip in a FZJ 80 rear diff?

    Yep, your explanation match exactly what has been my experience with mine after years of use but not abuse. I am only aware of it when I reverse in my parking space and feel barely a little ratcheting, but the rest of the time is like I don't have anything, of course a hard aceleration on a...
