Anyone else with a 2016+ have a steering wheel that looks like this? Leather is starting to peel off. Started happening last fall but is getting worse. In a 200 series FB group, that is primarily Aussies, it is a common issue and many of them are getting their wheels replaced in and out of...
So I'm going to start this thread on a bit of a rant about how much I love the 200. I wrote this article when I had my previous 200.
Evolution of an Icon
But I just want to say I'd basically forgotten the emotion and soul of that article over the last few years in a Tundra. I picked up my new...
I have 4 used BFG ATs on powdercoated steel Tundra wheels. Will fit 100 series Land Cruisers. Tires/wheels located near Salt Lake City. Would prefer not to ship but will at buyer's expense. Tires are 285/65 R18s. wheels are a gun metal grey color. $450 or best offer

After finishing my front axle rebuild I realized my PS front caliper wasn't working. I tried quite a few creative techniques for freeing up the pistons but 3 of the 4 were stuck. I placed a call to my local parts guy and get a surpring answer. 'toyota doesn't offer a reman on the 97. it' is...
All the of the info can be found here
basically I just need the carrier from an 80series front or rear Taco elocker. I don't need gears, locker, or housing, just the carrier itself. I'm located in Utah but will pay for shipping regardless of the distance.
thanks,

I'll post up pics tomorrow (or thurs) with a full report but the short of it is I hit a huge bump, going way too fast, and broke off about 10 teeth on my front ring gear. I was about 300 miles from home so i pulled the front DL and one axle shaft and drove home from there. I tore out the 3rd...
I'm not a Toyota history buff but I'm pretty sure I spotted a Toyota Stout the other day. The first I have ever seen. I'm hoping someone can confirm. The pic isn't the best because it caught me off guard. I love the new Toyota windshield banner on a 50 year old truck. Spotted somewhere near...
I'd like to do the research but it's 1:30 and i'm exhausted and hitting the road early tomorrow.
Let's just say I were to find myself at a cruiser shop the middle of next week with a 5sp from a carb'd 1FZ 80 series lying around. As I understand it the swap iof this tranny nto a 93-94 is...
Romer Edit: Here is the link to his Blog for this trip On The Road To Ushuaia
It's 1am and I just got Romer's PM about accepting my offer to do the ROTW this week. The irony of course being I'm only about 40% confident I even know where my truck is right now. I know it is in a...
I started taking pics of non-USA Cruisers (and some rovers and patrols too) as soon as I crossed into Belize. By the time I hit Honduras I was pretty much done (except for the diesel hilux I drove in Tegucigalpa) because I was filling up the cards in my camera too quickly. Well I found an...
So as I continue the prep for my trip I, with considerable help from my friends, managed to get a lot accomplished the last 5 days. Tcase seals, upper oil pan and oil pump cover sealed, new blue nose fan clutch, re-build the rear calipers, clean up my dual battery setup (wires were too long)...
So after posting my dual battery set up in the 80s section i've decided to start a thread here as I finish the prep for my trip.
In addition to the dual battery I made 3 other changes last week to the truck. I replaced my indash dvd with a different system. yep I'm a dork but a solo trek...
I don't know if this belongs here or in the Expedition Builds but most of time is in the 80 section.
As part of my prep for my expedition I upgraded my dual battery set up. I went with the National Luna set up from Equipt Expedition Outfitters for 2 main reasons. Primarily for the monitoring...
The time has come for me to fulfill one of my life's dreams. I've been working on this for over a decade but preparing seriously since just after Cruise Moab. My current job doesn't give me the amount of time on Mud that I used to have but I'll try and post up as much as possible, both in this...
I haven't spent too much time on MUD lately due to a job change but after my 3 hour fiasco on FridayI figured I'd post my experience hoping to save some of the inconvenience for the rest of you. Are any of you aware that there is a part of your 80 series that requires this assortment of tools...
Do any of you Okie guys have an email addy for Bret Van Tuyle? I have his AOL address but it was returned.

ps. Hi Clay, how is OK treating you?
Kids,
So some of you may have seen this thread...https://forum.ih8mud.com/showthread.php?t=112679&highlight=rupert
Well after some wheeling with Eric Vogt yesterday and a very scenic drive up the 101 of Oregon's coast i'm now sitting Seattle at a friends' house. During the course of the...
So at least once a year I mess around on the roads in mountains above where I grew up. I had plans to do it this past weekend. As the week went on the weather turned cold and wet. I was up for some mud and rain. The rumors of snow were exciting but I wasn't too sure they were right. Well...
This is not a thread bitching about the awful fuel economy my trucks gets. More of an observation as well as a starting point for discussion because I know there are many of you that will have an opinion.
Two weekends ago I took a trip through Utah. 642.3 miles. 642 of them were on dirt...
I did a search and couldn't find the answer. I mangled my rear driveline at CM and might be able to pick up a used 93 driveline cheaper than a re-tube. Are there any differences in lengh or design between the 93 and 97 rear drivelines?
thanks,
