    Yotawerx Tune

    I'm an analog guy in a digital world. Give me a V8, a Rochester Quadrajet and a distributor, and I can make it all run perfectly. Those days and that hardware are long gone. I have never before done something like this, but I stopped in to Battle Born Offroad in Las Vegas this week and had...

    SOLD  St George, UT 2006 LX470

    My beloved Lexus LX470 is for sale. I am the one who built this vehicle. River Rock Green Mica exterior, light tan interior. The engine was recently replaced (timing belt failure, my fault) with one that has 138K on it. Timing belt has 5K on this engine. Runs perfectly, no leaks of any kind, AC...

    Stiff Rack

    I installed a Detroit Axle steering rack and the thing is crazy stiff. I have backed off the preload a full turn, but it is still nowhere near athe effortless affair that the stock rack was. Is this rack a POS or am I missing something?

    Flowmaster 70 Series

    I crushed my tailpipe and damaged the resonator more than once. It is simply stupid to have it poking out the back the way it is if you're going to see some action in the rocks. I had a local shop weld in a 70 Series Flowmaster with dual inlets and a 3" tailpipe that exits right behind the...

    Front Sway Bar Bushings

    Beck Arnley comes through again. I paid $18 on Rock Auto for this pair of bushings and look what was in the box.

    Unresponsive Throttle

    Every week or so, I get what feels like the vehicle cutting back the throttle input just like it does when wheel spin is detected, but there is no loss of traction, this is on dry pavement. This doesn't feel like a "problem" per se, I think the vehicle is responding to some sensor data that...

    Brake Controller Connection

    I have an '06 LX 470. I think Amazon sold me the wrong connector for my vehicle. Can anyone confirm if this picture is it? It's about the only thing under there that I think could be it.

    Roof Rack: Cheap, Light, Strong

    I undertook the task of making a roof rack. Again. Learning from past efforts, this is what I came up with. 1" square tubing with conduit, rounded corners. It is rigid, light, makes no wind noise and it cost very little to make. The powder coating was about he same cost as the materials...

    80 vs. 100 Series Locker Actuator

    I have posted this on the 100 series forum to no avail. I have an e-locker in my 100 series that is giving me fits. The 80 series actuator is readily available and comparably affordable, the 100 series actuator is not. The part numbers are different. Does anyone have first-find experience...

    80 vs. 100 Series Locker Actuator

    I can see that the locker actuators for 80 series rear axle have different part numbers than the 100 series. Does anybody have some first-hand experience with the two? I need the electric motor parts and it would be helpful to know if those are the same. And yes, I tried a search.

    Fuel Trim Deviation

    I know just enough about the electronics of these rigs to be dangerous. Does anybody know how much positive fuel trim a 100 series will tolerate before tripping the CEL? I'm driving an '06 with 205K. My long-term trim numbers are +7.8 on one bank and +6.3 on the other. I'm getting a...

    Notes on Part-Time Conversion

    I just completed a part-time conversion on my '06 Lexie. The results are exactly what I had hoped for. It drives so much better, gone is the torque steer (you can get quite a bit of that with 4:88 gears and 35" tires) gone are the annoying clunks, gone are the vibrations. Acceleration is...

    Doug Thorley Headers: To Air or Not to Air...

    There are two different DT headers. Early 4.7s without VVTi (also sans air injection) and a later version for VVTi motors with the air injection. Does anybody know for sure if they interchange? It would make more sense to disable the AI and use the headers without that provision since it does...

    Opportunity in Seattle area. My loss, your gain

    This was my FJ60 for almost 18 years. https://www.iaai.com/Vehicles/VehicleDetails.aspx?auctionID=0&itemID=16337553&RowNumber=0&loadRecent=True I sold it last fall to my nephew who took it to Seattle where, on Feb. 20th, it caught on fire. It will be auctioned this Wednesday, April 9th. The...

    Yukon 4.56 gear sets, new

    I stumbled onto these on Fleabay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/390427139350?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

    The Tire Saga Rated PG-13 for accounts of graphic destruction and high costs.

    So today ends an era and a new one begins for my 400,000 mile FJ60. I am done with BFG having once been an ardent fan. Today I put on a set of 16" wheels shod with 315/75 Nitto Terra Grapplers in a load range D. I would have bought another set of 35x12.5R15 BFG KOs except for several factors...

    400K

    This will probably get tossed into the Chit Chat section, but whatever. The 400K mark came precisely as I stopped at the stop sign at the top of the mountain that separates Draper Utah from Alpine.

    BFG KO'd. Yet another tire thread...

    I lost another tire over the weekend on a graded dirt road in Utah's west desert. A rock tore through the center of the tread. This is the second failure of this type I have had with the KOs. I otherwise like them, but this is pissing me off. I am considering going to a 16" wheel in order to...

    Leaky rack

    The steering rack's input seal is leaking pretty good on my wife's '97 4Runner. I have not had any luck in identifying the seal itself or its dimensions. Replacing that would make more sense that replacing the whole rack. Does anybody have any information on that seal? Maybe a dead rack from...

    Speedo and Energy Suspoension mysteries

    I have now my fourth Toyota, a 1997 4Runner with the 3.4 and an auto for my wife to drive around. What I cannot figure out is why the speedo and odo are dead on when it originally came with the smaller 15" wheels but currently has 265/70R16s on it. It has 4.10 gears which, as I understand, are...
