Hi guys, I'm hoping you can help me out. My post is a bit long, I'll put in as much as I can the first time so you guys don't have to ask as many basic questions.... or so I hope!
The vehicle is a 12/1999 4 cylinder Cal Spec 4Runner (RZN180L-GKPSKA) with an air flow sensor ahead of the...
I'm working on an '83 2F fitted with a non-US Aisan carburetor. It has a very strange issue I'd like to discuss.
On start up and during warm up it runs fine. After it's warmed up, and if I rev the engine hard a few times it begins to issue black smoke and the idle quality deteriorates. The...
Has anyone visited the above referenced website recently?
There are no "exploded view" images alongside with the parts listings. I'm wondering if it's my computer and/or web browser or if the good days of finding esoteric parts are officially over???

I am attempting to install a factory antenna in a LJ95L Prado fitted with an aftermarket radio, however I was not able to complete the installation due to missing information about the factory antenna wiring.
The install required me to assemble a relay circuit to power the antenna up and down...
Kinda far away from the mainstream, but just in case somebody on MUD has an interest:

VIN: KZN185-0061739

The interior is in good condition. The seat cloth color gray...
Hey all,
I'm seeking a candidate to boost the power of our Landcruiser for our particular driving conditions.
As I understand it, the pitfall of fitting an undersized turbo is excessive heating of the charge air and/or excessive restriction at high revs.
The map below is plotted with...
For those of you who rebuild calipers, what is your technique for fitting the dust boots and fixing them with the set rings? The FSM simply says "do it", but the landing is small and there is no retaining groove to give the boot some purchase grip.
I have done a few pairs now and find it most...
Hello all, I've been off this forum for awhile, having become addicted to playing with ex-military trucks (US 2.5t "deuce and a half" multi-fuel cargo trucks) for the past year or so. I am back on board with some questions regarding the motor in a Landcruiser a friend just bought.
The vehicle...
Hey guys,
I am replacing the door gaskets on a clients car (VZN185L 4-Runner).
I know it's not a 'cruiser, but I thought there are some of you here who may have experience with DIY.com and can assist me.
Where has DIY.com hidden the door gaskets? These are the big, hollow seals that seal...
A quick question for those of you who know: Are the front and rear springs the same measurement from eye to eye?
I have a spare spring pack from the rear of my truck and a buddy has a broken front main leaf. I wanna see if my having saved that hunk of iron for 2 years will benefit a fellow...
For 3 or 4 years now I have been extolling the merits of the old, slow turning diesels for off-roading. They are simple, generate torque at low RPM, run forever and easy to maintain, blah, blah, blah...
I had a chance to drive a 2008 Toyota Fortuner this week. I was in the city and rented a car...
Hey all,
The A/C on my 1986 HJ60 has stopped functioning, both the blower motor and compressor clutch have stopped operating at the same time. It was intermittent for about a week. When the system worked, it blew cold, so based on that I have ruled out a low gas charge. All fuses are good.
I...
Hello all,
This is not a strictly either a Toyota or 70 series related question, but I am seeking the electrical wiring diagram for my 1986 HJ60. The sticky for manuals is in this forum, hence I'll post my question here.
I followed the link in the sticky (thanks to RoscoFJ70): Toyota Workshop...
Just like the title says, I am looking for any ideas on how to accomplish this. I live in a dusty environment that has us running the A/C with windows up.
With either recirculated or fresh air selected, there is still fine silt finding it's way into the truck. I want to run a filter to cut...
Vehicle is a 2 year old 78 series truck. Kilometers are very low for its age. Knock is serious in my oponion. Soon as oil pressure starts to build the knock subsides. Warm starts make no noise.
I believe there is something starving the oil feed, as if the supply system (pickup, pump, and...
Recently noticed my buddy's 78 series truck is missing a few nuts....
He has owned it for 2 years, to illustrate my attention to details.
Are those axles the same as 6 lug axles with different hubs or are they a different animal?

I have an opportunity to purchase a used diesel motor and 5 speed trans combo out of a mid '80's to mid '90's Daihatsu Delta. It looks like a B motor, (care to guess which one?) but I'm no pro in identifying these beasts.
The motor is a builder, possibly junk: any motor being replaced here...
I tried searching this forum before posting.
A coupla years ago my buddy bought a new 79 series truck. His rear locker has never worked. The light flashes, indicating it is not locking.
I have heard this was a common problem, that these trucks were sent out of the factory with an improperly...
I need the exact measurements (center of eye to center of eye) on both wiper link rods.
Does anybody have a link assembly laying around for measurement?
If your wipers don't "park" at the bottom of the glass after you have body work done, check to see if the link rods have been mutilated! A...
Hey all,
I am noticing a definite softening in the market here in Costa Rica. Trucks are in the listings much longer and prices are falling. This is certainly good news for diesel truck buyers!
If you are in the market for a 25 year old (or older) truck, and prefer LHD, you may want to...
