    Help! - Which ComeUp winch will fit my ARB? 9.5 vs 12k?

    Title says it all. My 9k Superwinch stopped working so I decided to replace it vs fixing it. I'm leaning towards a 12.5k due to mine being a HEAVY rig. I stumbled across this thread talking about how "integrated winches don't work with the ARB". What does that mean...

    Turbo'd 80 with RTT / Silver Bowfin rack needs new wheel advice - Pics!

    I figured that would tease some interest. :cool: I currently have 285/75/16 Duratrac's on some old steelies that are pitted pretty bad. After installing the new rack / RTT she looks like she needs a wheel refresh. Tires are still at 70-80%, but I want to swap to KO2's. I have them on a...

    Weak Windshield Washer Jets / Leaky Rear Jet Question on a '96

    I'm recovering from shoulder surgery and can't turn wrench for 2 to 3 more months so pulling the tank out and exploring the system isn't an option, and Washington winters mean I need to have them working to make the rig drivable. :-( I'm hoping to at least get the correct parts ordered and have...

    Need turbo gasket advice - Copper vs SS vs V-band?

    Well it happened again, more fun with my Safari setup. I'll have a future thread to outline the journey so far. I had the unit rebuilt in 2012 and converted the turbo outlet from Safari's proprietary housing to a common 5 bolt T3 Ford style so that I could mate an internal WG flapper to retain...

    One Stop Safari Turbo Thread! - Repairs, Upgrades, Challenges

    Hi all, After starting on my second round of Safari repairs over the last 6 years I decided to compile all of the threads into one place to help other Safari owners if they get into the same boat as me. In a nut shell, my rig had the turbo installed professionally by a dealership around 50k...

    Suspension advice for turbo'd dune running?

    I'm pulling the old girl out of the garage and hoping to get back into my annual Oregon coast dune trip. (Have barely wheeled her in 7 years with a growing family.) Seems like a lot has changed since I researched this last. Slinky, Fox, Icon, oh my! I have a fully armored, heavy rig, running...

    Help with override to play DVD / operate NAV while not in park on '05 GX

    Hi, I've been trying to figure out how to bypass the "must be in park" lockout to do advanced NAV controls / DVD while moving. (This is for the passenger's benefit not mine, I don't get sucked into screen watching when driving. Biggest priority is being able to have them enter nav info on the...

    Need input - Thinking about selling turbo'd / locked 80 for a 100/200 build?

    I figured I'd hit the 80's forum first even though I'm sure I'll get biased feedback here. ;-) I currently have a fully built, rust free '96 80 with 167k that has Safari Turbo, intercooler, lockers, drawers, winch, ARB's, dual batts, extra sized tank, etc.... that is in pretty much MINT...

    Fold flat 3rd row as an option?

    I have been toying with selling my 80 and buying a 200 to build out, and I swear I saw an LX 570 in person that had the fold down seat option like the 08+ Sequoias and GX460's have, vs the "fold to the side" like 80's and 100's have. Now I can't find any 200's that have that as an option...

    New Keys - No Master? (Still confused...)

    Sorry, I just bought an '05 GX470 this weekend and found out it only has one key. It looks fairly generic so its most likely NOT the master. I've been searching and keep getting mixed info. I get that the dealer can program a new master one for a varying degree of pricing, but... 1 - Do I...

    New to the 120 Club! - '05 GX470 Sport

    05 GX470 Sport by yoda-g3 posted Jan 6, 2017 at 10:33 AMWell I can't believe is happened so quick. I've had my share of 40's, 80's, and 100's and just barely started looking for a Gx470. I was convinced I wanted a 4Runner but had to have a v8 and third row which is hard to find in a Runner, and...

    Need some front spring advice - 850J's NOT cutting it - Hydraulic bump stop or new shock time?

    I have 863's on the back, 850J's on the front with 5-10mm trim packers to level from side to side. I have a Safari turbo, intercooler, ARB, winch, and dual batts so needless to say the front is a little heavy. When I had my drawers and gear permanently installed she sit almost perfectly level...

    ABS Light Help - Code 32 & 48 - What now?

    My 80 has been sitting for a while so thought I'd drive it some this weekend. After about 70 miles on it I'm getting an ABS indicator after about a quarter mile of driving pretty consistently. I just busted out my fancy paper clip and pulled 32 and 48. (Front Left wheel speed sensor) & (Open or...

    LSPV Adjust - Actual PSI numbers??

    I just ordered a brake pressure gauge (http://www.summitracing.com/parts/ssb-a1704) and I need to find out what PSI I need for the front / rear ratio. This write up mentions 1500 / 800 being "close enough", but I'd like to have real #'s if somebody happens to really know...

    My wife's '97 LX450 with about 155k on it threw a P0750 code a couple weeks back during a bad plug wire fiasco, I cleared it and put a new Ultraguage on and while driving home at 60-65mph in 95 degree weather while pulling a 2,000lb trailer the Ultraguage start barking at me that a pending code...
