Picked this truck up a while back and seem to like it quite a bit. 1984 model with a 22RTE. Engine has been refreshed and it runs like a champ. A/C is ice cold, power windows and locks, no leaks, no rattles, android auto....what more could a guy want.
Old tires that were on it were dry...
I've got this up for sale now. Located in Northwest Arkansas, and am asking $17500 or trade for something. Could use a truck, and I like unique vehicles. I still miss my cummins powered k2500 suburban, so something like that would be great, or even a diesel van?
Also, if you're selling a H1...
This past week in Moab, I witnessed a critical driver error result in some pretty extensive damage to a nice LX450. The bad part, is that it was one of those "guided tours" vehicles, and had a couple of paying customers in the back seats. Luckily no one was injured, but had there not been a...

1x Custom Water Pump Pulley - CNC Machined for Aux Belt
1x Hardware kit - Mounts Compressor Bracket to 1FZ Head
1x Tensioner Assembly w/Bolt- OEM Toyota
1x V-Belt
You will...
It's time to build a couple roof racks. I've had the design and some of the parts laying around for quite a while now, so we figured we may as well get em built before our big adventure this spring.
Here's a quick design pic:
Each of these two racks will be slightly different. One...
I'm looking to go with a wider wheel, and need some opinions. I've found 2 wheels that I like (both 16x10), and am having trouble narrowing it down.
I'm also open to other suggestions as well!
Here are the wheels that I've found so far, and a pic of my cruiser that they would be going...
Went with a couple other 80s to hit the trails today, and on the drive down (2 lane road, 40-50mph speed) I glanced at the gauges and noticed my factory coolant temp gauge was showing 3/4, when it only ever shows just below half.
Pulled over to inspect, and the engine didn't seem hot at all. I...
With a record breaking heat wave in place, it's a great time to maximize your A/C performance.
Thought mine worked pretty well, until we started seeing triple digit temps!
Went out and found that my heater valve wasn't fully closing, and made the adjustments to the cable the other day. Here...
Due to an overwhelming response to our build thread, and a resulting flood of PM's:

Stainlessdoctor and I have decided to build a few of these, on a per-order basis.
I realize this bumper isn't for...
Plans:
Dual Swingouts
Cooler/Fuel can Rack
Tire Carrier
Rear winch (Will be on next unit)
Pretty simple plans, but my overthinking the project has lead to something a little more than "simple".
Design:
^^^ Bottle opener detail. :D
Any interest in these? I can make them, but I'd need to sell at least 25 to make it worth it.
I've had a LOT of PMs/emails about these, so it seems like there are still quite a few that would purchase.
Kit would be complete:
Bracket
Pulley
Mounting Hardware
Belt
Tensioner...
About to take the cruiser on a 2000 mile trip (leaving Friday!) and while going over the rig, I remember that my CEL flashed on for about 30 seconds while I was wheeling a couple weeks ago.
I had forgotten all about it, but managed to remember today. :beer:
Anyway, I jump the pins on...
Been working on this for a while now. About time to start cutting some tubing. This weekend is looking nice, so I'll be busy!
It's a little different than most cargo setups, but it will work good for me. I like to pack a lot of stuff, and my cruiser is setup to carry a BUNCH of weight in...
I keep going back and forth on what I want to do next/what route I want to go with this build.
So, I'm going to leave a few things up to you guys. :hillbilly:
First, some background. Bought it from a dealer that found it for me. 1 owner rig, bone stock with full maintenance history...
I know that the M12000 is pretty much a direct bolt-in. How about the new VR12000? The chosen winch will be going in a standard ARB Deluxe Bullbar.
Anyone running a VR Series winch? How's it holding up?
M12000 weighs 136lbs
VR12000 weighs 89lbs
While weight savings are not a concern for...
I'm pulling the transfer case out of my rig tomorrow to convert it to part-time 4wd. This will be done by welding up the side gear to the center diff as shown in the how-to thread by Beno.
Picked up some Aisin 30 spline hubs that I'll be using as well. My rig is a 93, so I won't have to...
Looking for a double cardan front driveshaft for my 80.
This is typically a rear drive shaft from an extended cab or double cab Tacoma.
Let me know what you have.
Thanks

I'm thinking about a radius arm flip for my 80. I have the required clearance (8" of lift on my rig), and would like to retain the driving characteristics that radius arms provide.
While a 3-link could be a viable option, it's just not for this rig. Radius arms work well enough for my use...
