I’ve got my rear license plate mounted on my spare tire – which is on a swingout. Until now, I’ve just been running a mini solar rechargable mini LED light double-sided taped to the plate for a license plate light – but it doesn’t get a lot of direct sunlight where I park, so it never really...
I just installed a Switch-Pros 9100, and need to connect the ignition sense wire of the SP9100 to a circuit that is switched with ignition. The DEFOG fuse in the dash panel would be ideal for a fuse tap connection, but my DEFOG fuse appears to be providing constant 12V power. The SP9100...
I've had my 97 LX450 for a little over a year now, and like many with lifted 80's, there's been an issue with driveline vibrations at highway speeds. It's not really a case of vibes on deceleration. The vibes start at 2800 RPM's and get worse as RPM's increase. The vibes get particularly bad...
I did a 2800 mile road trip through Utah, Wyoming, and Colorado in June. My 1997 LX450 did great with no major issues - just one instance of a dead battery caused by a rogue seat heater in my aftermarket Corbeau seats that came on randomly without the switch being in the "on" position. The...
I am going to loading up my 80 and doing a 16 day road trip from the Los Angeles area to do some fly fishing in Utah, Wyoming, and Colorado from June 12 through June 28th. I am dubbing this trip Trout Trek 2023. The main destinations along the way are Dutch John, Utah - where I'll fish the...
I am going to be doing a 16 day road trip through Utah, Wyoming, and Colorado from June 12 through June 28th, and I'm driving my 80. I'm dubbing this trip "Trout Trek 2023" as the main destinations along the way are Dutch John, Utah - where I'll fish the Green River for three days, then off to...
The back "bar" on my passenger side front seat belt buckle broke. I think it had been previously repaired with epoxy by the PO, but I would like to replace it. It's also probably time to do a webbing replacement and retractor cleaning service. Any idea where I can get just the buckle itself...
Anyone have any personal experience with these inexpensive "yellow" panhard rods that are sold on eBay and Amazon? I'm asking because I am doing a suspension refresh on my rig, and I have these bars on my rig now. They came with the vehicle when I purchased it about six months ago. I'm being...
New 80 Series owner here, and brand-new SoCal LC club member. I attended the August meeting in my 97 LX450 (two-tone black raptor-lined lower / white painted upper). I've had the rig for about two months now, and done a bit of baselining and now the rig is trail-worthy. But I am brand new to...
I recently picked up a '97 LX450 and have been using this board extensively to get up to speed on it. It's got 247K miles on it and the PO definitely wheeled it, so it's got some bumps, bruises, and "trail modifications". But I bought it to wheel anyway, and have no plans to restore it to...

These American Racing Wheels were very recently discontinued. I was able to purchase just one from a local retailer - so I have a spare, but I still need a set of four. I have been on the hunt for a while now, and haven't been able to find any more of this exact model in stock anywhere. I've...
Hello all. I’m a brand-new Mud member who has been a longtime Toyota truck owner going back to the early 90’s. I currently have a 2002 Tundra 4X4 Access Cab 4.7L that has served my needs extremely well for the past 20 years, and with only 165K miles on it, should give me many more miles of...
