    Those cool folks with the extended gas tank!

    Nice! When I get that bumper, I know the fuel tank will fit fine. The bumper has been on my "want, but unwilling to pay for" list for years. If I lived in the USA I would have pulled the pin on getting one years and years ago. But getting it into Canada is a bit more hassle than I'm willing...

    Those cool folks with the extended gas tank!

    Also, consider that other fuel tanks of various sizes from different vehicles can be made to fit. For fuel transfer, an additional hose fitting on the filler neck will allow you to pump fuel from the aux tank into the fill neck of the main tank. I'm running a 75L tank for an aux tank. Extra...

    pulling power of the rear cossmember?

    I've read that the tow capacity of the 80-series is 2500kg in north america, which specify a frame mounted receiver style hitch. In the rest of the world, it's 3500kg. I've see decals on JDM trucks that say that. And all the pics of them in the rest of the world use a pintle bolted to the...

    80 series high oil pressure.

    before you do anything else, check the wire to the sender. It's likely shorted to ground at the connector itself.

    80 series high oil pressure.

    most likely the sender wire shorted to ground. if the wire falls off the sender and touches the engine, this will cause the gauge to peg at max

    Using "diesel" engine oil in our 1FZ trucks

    fwiw, toyota says that their synthetic 0w20 formulation is specifically made to address flat-tappet cams as used in some of the hybrid engines. I've been running it in my LX450 since the oil became available years ago. I have adequate oil pressure, and minimal oil consumption. Plus the oil is...

    Auxiliary fuel tank in my LX450

    Yes! I read about George's auxiliary fuel tank ecu, and that's what inspired me to make my own. And I am in debt to every single writeup of auxiliary fuel tanks on this forum. Without the forum, and all the pictures and writeups for inspiration, not much would have ever gotten done on my...

    Auxiliary fuel tank in my LX450

    Filler neck took two tries. I had purchased a spare upper neck from a 'mud member that put a dual neck in theirs, so I modified it. Then ripped it out, and modified the original filler that came out of mine. So a whole whack of time to do the filler neck. Didn't work properly until the...

    Manifold stud part number?

    most dealerships stock exhaust studs. and most exhaust studs on toyotas are interchangeable. There are only two sizes, M8 and M10. Our trucks use M10. Get the fancy exhaust nuts too, which are also most likely in stock, even with the smaller dealers. In a pinch, an M10x1.25 bolt will do the...

    Auxiliary fuel tank in my LX450

    After I built the discrete fuel pump controller, my brother (a computer geek) asks me why I didn't install a programmable microcontroller. He explained to me how much more robust the microcontrollers are than discrete componentry, and allow easy it is to make firmware changes. Plus multiple...

    Auxiliary fuel tank in my LX450

    Fuel pump controller on the breadboard. There's a timer to start the pump and run it for 30s to initialize fuel transfer. There's an input from the main fuel tank level gauge to halt fuel transfer when main tank is 9/10 full. There's an input from a flow switch to interrupt transfer when the...

    Auxiliary fuel tank in my LX450

    Auxiliary fuel tank build in 2016 Installed in 1997 LX450 Cliff notes: S10 blazer 20gal (76L) fuel tank. Home built fuel pump controller and dual filler neck. S10/S15 blazer tank fits fine and doesn't hang lower than the spare did when it lived under there. The filler neck for the tank is in a...

    Lights issue from Hell

    clip the wires running to this box and tape up the wire ends individually. This will electrically isolate the converter box, which is a popular failure point.

    front axle inner seal help

    Years ago, I had a leaky Toyota axle seal on a different application (rear of a 4Runner). When inspected upon removal, it wasn't leaking from the seal/axle interface, but rather from the outside of the seal between the seal and the housing. This was due to installation error on my part. The...

    Interesting. I'd still use a toyota brand oil filter. Cheers

    FZJ80 blown head gasket in Boston...now what?

    Phone your local Lexus and Toyota dealerships and get a price quote before towing the car. With $3k budget you should have plenty of room to fix it up.
