Brit and his family are heading to Idaho in the next week or so and we are having a going away party at the Peter Piper Pizza at McClintock and Baseline at 6:00 pm tonight. (1805 E Baseline Rd, Tempe, AZ 85283).
Kids welcome!:bounce:u can.
The gathering will be Wednesday at 6. We need a number count to determine where to have the gathering. Please post up if you can make it, family and kids welcome, and we’ll pick and post the location.
Looking forward to saying goodbye to this guy! Well, at least looking forward to...
I cut a hose to install and use the Preston radiator flush kit. I don’t like the idea of running my truck on rough roads with the jury-rigged hose in place, so I’m now trying to replace the hose. Problem is that Murf and I are having trouble figuring out the part name/number. The hose can be...
I’ve noticed that my driver’s side mirror is slowing down with age, and not reflecting as well as it once did. If anyone has a line on a replacement, please let me know.
Looks like Zuk has installed 5.29s in their LX450s. I’m considering the 5.29s and would like to get their input. (i.e., how is the speed/RPMs on the highway? I’m only running 35s, do they think the 4.88s might be a better fit. I know Cody is running the 38.9s, but I did not see what Aaron is...
Zuk is out of town until September or October, so we only have two, maybe three months to resolve the issue of my regearing to 4.88 or 5.27. So, let’s get started.
As a refresher, I have a 1997 lx450 with 315, sliders, front and rear bumpers and will be sporting J lifts (currently has the 2...
I’ve always wanted to take my kids driving up around the lakes NE of Payson (Chevelon Canyon, Woods Canyon, Willow Springs, Bear Canyon, Knoll, etc). It just so happens that my planes for the last Saturday of the month fell through, so I thought I’d pack up the family and sees what I could...
Just came back from the first CSC monthly run. We went to Box Canyon. It was my first time as a trail ‘leader/organizer.’ I put this in quotes because I had so much help making sure everything when right I can’t really claim much credit. I’ll post a trail run report later, but first I want to...
At the meeting tonight everyone was brainstorming new ideas – here is mine.
Runs on the fourth Saturday of every month. Idea is to let everyone know ‘a’ date for wheeling and then take input as to where we will go.
Destination to be announced.
As these runs are not run by...
I picked up a DeWalt 14.4 xrp about 9 years ago that just went dead. I don’t know if anyone has a use for it as parts or thinks they can fix it, but I thought I’d post it before tossing it. Let me know today, it will be gone one way or the other tomorrow.
Cook.
Time for new tires – input.
I know this has been beat to death, but any input from locals would be welcome.
I’ll be stepping up to 35s. The Nitto Terra Grappler 33s have served be well and I’m inclined to just step up in size with the same tire.
Anyone have any idea when the new Trail...
Not a Land cruiser question, put not political either :p-
I’m looking for information on minivan conversion options for scooter/wheelchair accessibility. My mom has gotten to this point in life and I’m guessing I’m not the first one to experience this. If anyone has any info I’d...
I know I talked to a couple people at the last meeting about this and then I found a 12.5.11 caster correction article online at at off-road.com:

Title says it all. I’d like to make some of the runs this weekend, but need to find a new cap and change my oil. Lost mine while hunting (short but embarrassing story so I’ll pass on telling it). :p
Thanks,
Pete
P.S., anyone know if any of the Toyota dealers are open tomorrow? Black Friday...
Its incredible how people help each other out in this club. Murf gets a big thanks for the special detail offer he makes available to membership – My truck has never looked so good. Hell, the wife wanted to drive it without all the mud!
Kevin came through again, not only letting me have...
Ordered a new bumper from MetalTech4x4 and it arrived as naked as the day it was born! I’m more of a adventure cruiser than a rock crawler so I’ve decided to have it powder coated. Anyone have a recommendation for a powder coat company?
Thanks
Anyone have a New VSV (Toyota Part code 90910‐12079)? On a serious note, I’m finishing this up on my 97, so if anyone is looking to do this I’d be more than happy to help. Then again, I’m a 1 :banana:mechanic.
It is time to pass emissions and get new registration, so of course my car has been throwing the P0401. I tried Kevin’s work around (who can pass an opportunity to stick it to the man), but it has prevented the car’s computer from resetting. So I’ve broken out the FSM and am working through...
