    Four Low Engage

    Again thank you for the input. I have not crawled under to investigate at this point but I have tried the following: 1. Engage 4HI - works as expected 2. Engage 4HI and CDL - works as expected 3. Disengage CDL - works as expected 4. Engage 4LO - 4LO light blinks, when shifted from neutral...

    Four Low Engage

    Great tips and thanks for giving us a place to start. It is a 4th gen 4R. I was under the impression that I could use the button to lock the center diff, which seemed to work in 4hi (lights on dash correct and no beeping), and then shift into 4lo but that didn't work either. Thanks and I'll...

    Four Low Engage

    Hello all. I've been over in the 40, 80 and 100 series world for a bit as well as Nissan Patrols (60 series). I picked up a 2008 120 this weekend hoping to get it in shape for my son. We are planning on a baseline and repair but immediately we noticed 4 low wouldn't engage. We were able to...

    What are you working on?

    I ordered new fob's for my 100 as they oem were pretty beat and breaking. I posted up in the 100 forum but one of the site vendors makes a great product. This was my project for the evening.

    YotaMD Titanium Integrated Remote Key Fob Shell

    My Black Friday fob shells arrived today. I get strange looks from the family when I am so excited for items like this but it's warranted. Hands finally on I can say that these are a great product. All the materials were packaged well and I was happy to see all of the little extras...

    cheap 17 inch (winter) wheel

    FWIW....I have a spare set of factory rims with Blizzak's mounted that came with my vehicle purchase. Honestly the combination of vehicle capability and these tires creates the most capable winter vehicle I've ever owned. Nokian makes some great tires for winter as well and I had those years...

    Sudden loss of transmission, loss of fluid, 10 miles after dealer evaluated oil pressure sender

    I'd say that is going above and beyond. Glad to hear it was handled the way it was and enjoy the new rig. Tripper

    Rocky Road Rock Sliders

    Are these what you are referring to? I can't seem to find installation instructions and they have a few different models. They appear to frame mount as well as attach at the pinch weld on the body. According to their info, the pinch weld mount supposedly helps distribute the force from impact...

    frame blasting/painting

    I completely misread the post from the following thread. I was under the impression they were the same company! This is where I checked my information as well as some video reviews of both products. As mentioned they are quite similar but less smell with the wool wax product and it is...

    frame blasting/painting

    I ended up ordering WoolWax...same company as Fluid Film but slightly different product. I agree with @jonheld in that I'd rather have dirt and protection over rust. I bought a 5 gallon bucket and the sprayer they sell (includes gun, hoses, containers...). There is a thread floating in the...

    What are you working on?

    I flushed my power steering fluid and cleaned the reservoir. Overall, the process was straight forward and took a little over an hour. The old fluid was pretty nasty and the reservoir was caked with years/miles of gunk. The smell was gnarly but I'm not sure the last time it was replaced...

    Steering Flush & Cleaning

    Thanks for the write-up. Everything worked well. I used an acid brush in conjunction with brake cleaner to get most of the gunk/sludge out. It took about 20 minutes of work to get it in significantly better shape and then followed up with compressed air. I used Mobil 1 MV ATF. I went...

    Accidentally purchased a rust bucket

    It doesn't look terrible but tough to really tell. I don't think you should be terribly concerned. I'd go over it with anything you can to loosen up the flaky rust....needle scaler, wire brush, hammer....then go over it with wool wax or fluid film and do that yearly. Even if you don't get all...

    Any Tundra Owners?

    I have a 2019 Crew Platinum Edition. It's the 4th I've had although I also kept my father's 2005 for several years while he went south for the winter. I've personally owned a 2011, 2016 Limited, 2018 TRD and my current. The were all crew cab models. I absolutely love them. They have a...

    99 LX 470. . Sell it or Put a Snow Plow on it?

    If you plan on running it into the ground, I'm sure you can add a plow. The added weight (even with a poly blade) and wear on your front end will eventually destroy suspension and steering components in short order unless you continue to be on top of your maintenance. I'm sure it would plow...
