    Finishing my AHC delete today, just one question...

    I'm finishing up the ahc delete today and have one question I've not been able to track down an answer for. I'm installing factory LC torsion bars, but I'm not sure how to index them when I install them. Do I line up the "master spline" on the LC bars with the same place as the LX bars? The only...

    Wanted  I'm wanting Land Cruiser suspension to replace my AHC.

    I have a sad looking 03 LX470 that needs the AHC deleted. I'm looking for torsion bars and coils, either stock or OME medium if the price is right. I'm located in Central Kentucky so I can meet or ship, either way.

    AHC issue. I've searched, but I can't find any solutions.

    I recently bought an 03 LX470. At the time of purchase, the AHC worked as it should. It adjusted at stoplights and all that jazz. Fast forward a few weeks and I'm having some issues. It seems like the front is down and the back is up. I am not getting any flashing off light, and the up and down...

    Opinions Please.

    Some of you may remember me, I used to have a 40th trail rig I got rid of a few years ago. Well, I am considering another 80. Here is my situation. I had an 06 Tundra Double cab I wreced on Saturday. I just heard from the body shop that it is totaled. I have $10,000 I can put into a...

    Question re: factory tow hitch kit

    If I order the factory hitch and the factory wiring harness, does the kit come with the rubber hitch plug that says "Toyota" on it, or do I need to order that seperate?

    Coming back to the 80 fold...

    I almost opened this post by saying selling my 40th was the worst mistake of my life, but I can't say that. I sold my 80 and my 100 back in December, got in a much better financial situation, got a new job with a $22K+ a year raise, just to start and I'm back. I am going tomorrow to pick up a...

    battery hooked up backwards...no start...whats the damage?

    I went to wally world to get a new battery last night(believe me, it was my only option) and they hooked it up backwards. I know one of the big fuses in the positive terminal lead is popped. It is being flat bedded to Toyota and walmart is covering all expense. What is the damage going to be?

    I am potentially getting a new job with a big raise. More than double what I'm making now probobly. I am currently working two miles from home, and the new job would be about 25 to 30 miles each way. If I get the job I will be buying another vehicle. Here is my delima: Keep the 100, buy a...

    Anyone changed the rear brakes themselves?

    HOLY CRAP WHAT A STUPID DESIGN!!!!!!! How do you get the new pad/shim in with those little clips on the side? There must be a trick to it, but I can't figure it out to save my life.

    beefed 80 axles vs. 60/14b

    Assuming I am to the limits of my stock 80 axles, am I better off going full chromo treatment, or going to a 60/14b combo? I could do all the work myself. Additionally, I could sell my stock 80 axles to a mini trucker and recoupe most of my costs for the one tons. But at the same time the...

    I overcharged my AC system and had a blowout. What did I kill?

    My ac wasn't getting the job done so I got a do it yourself recharge kit. I charged it up and apparently got the high side too high. I had a massive failure of something that released all of my refrigerant. Whatever failed was on the passenger side of the engine. the top of the compressor...

    Question on Christo's tire carrier spindle.

    When I built my bumper about 18 monthes ago I bought a spindle for the tire carrier from Christo. Well, 18 monthes later I am kinda tired of a 36" tire blocking most of my rear window, and just generally being a hastle. I am wanting to pull my carrier for a while and see what I can come up...

    center limit strap questions

    I have done some searching and I feel confident I know the idea behind a center limit strap. Here is my question. Does a basically stock suspension benefit from a center limit strap? I have about 4" of lift on my 80 and hate the end over feeling I get going down hill and off ledges and feel...

    Anybody chopped the quarter panels yet?

    I'm thinking of redoing my rear bumper. Possibly eliminating the swing out carrier, definately chopping the frame off. The big question is, has anyone cut off the bottom of the quarters even with the bottom of the tailgate? I've seen 60's and lots of pickups done this way and it makes a lot...

    Swapping the tcase for a part time unit...

    So, if the 95+ 80 uses the A343 tranny, and so does a 3rd gen 4runner or a 1st gen Tacoma, then what is the viability of a 4Runner/Taco tcase swap? Sounds reasonable to me, and that would open up the world of the Marlin Crawler MC09 to us. Romer, you should drop the tcase in Rachels 4Runner...

    Convertible piggie sighting

    My wife called me a couple of hours ago(God I love her) to tell me she spotted a 55. She said it was dark green, and had the back over the cargo area chopped off like a pickup and had (I think she said tan) soft top on that area. I believe she also said it was lifted and she said it was in...
