    Another AHC question

    I replaced the four accumulators (globes) on my 05 LX a couple of months ago with new OEM. A couple of weekends ago, I decided to "flush" the fluid one more time using PADDO's replacement method. Barely any fluid came out of the front driver side accumulator, which was done after bleeding the...

    Wanted: Inner axle shaft for early 1975 FJ40

    I had my inner axle "mar-tacked," but it was in the wrong spot. I ended up cutting new grooves. It looks like it will work okay, but if I can find another one in good condition, I would prefer to do that. If you have an extra inner axle shaft for the driver side (long side), I would be...

    Power Steering Bleeding Question

    After rebuilding the power steering pump and reinstalling it, how many lock to lock of the steering wheel (front wheel off the ground) does it take to bleed all the air out of the system? The ATF is bubbling--not boiling--inside the power steering reservoir. I don't see any leaks. Perhaps I...

    Market for FJ40s

    My brother is getting rid of this FJ40 that didn't pass California smog. He's shipping it to me to keep or sell. What's the market like for 1978 FJ40? I am assuming it's not that great considering the economy.

    Hiking Reavis Ranch via Roger's Trough

    I want to hike Reavis Ranch via Roger's Trough's trailhead this weekend. Hike Arizona website says you need 4-wheel drive for last mile of FS172A. Anyone been there lately? Do I have anything to worry about with a 1996 LX450, stock with stock Michelin tires? Thanks.

    Mixing Mobil 1 oil of different weights

    I have 2.5 quarts of Mobil 1 5w-30 left. I want to go with 0w-40 or 10w-30 High Mileage for the next oil change. For the oil experts on the site, do you see any problems mixing the two? Do they have different additive packages because the 0w-40 are A3 approved? Thanks.

    Alarm Stopped Working

    Last night, the alarm on the 1996 LX450 stopped working. I have two key fobs and neither of them was able to lock and alarm the truck. So I locked the truck with the key. The fobs would not unlock it either? I replaced the batteries about two months ago, so I assuming that's not the problem...

    Switch to synthetic gear oil at high mileage?

    My LX450 is pushing 110,000 miles, which may not be considered high mileage to some. I am pretty sure the diffs and transfer case is not filled with synthetic. The guy I bought it from didn't have maintenance records and didn't even know what the "Diff" button was for, so baselining fluids...

    Hitch and Installation

    I gave my 1985 Toyota pick-up to a buddy in exchange for some a/c work on our house. Now I don't have something to make Home Depot runs with (I am doing quite a bit of remodeling at the house I just moved out of to get it ready for sale/rent). I would like to install a hitch on the LX450, so I...

    Voltage Regulator Location

    The "charge" and "brake" light stays on in my 1985 pick-up. The alternator bench-tested fine at 2 different auto parts stores. I just replaced the battery, but the light stays on. All the fuses are ok. All ground wires seem to be in place. Maybe it's the voltage regulator, but I can't find...

    Difference in Cst of Mobil 1 5w-30 and 10w-30

    Mobil 1 website shows that the Cst for its synthetic 5w-30 oil is 11.3 while its 10w-30 is 10.0. Does that seem strange to anyone? I am thinking about going with a heavier oil (?w-40) on the next oil change, but I just found it strange that the 5w has a heavier Cst.

    Just bought LX450 today

    Well, I bought the 96 LX450 that I wrote about in the other post, "Looking at LX450." Kevin gave me an overview on what to look for and how to do it. Thanks Kevin! I did my best and hope it's good enough. The only place I could try out the e-lockers was in an alley behind some houses near my...

    Venter Rotor - Longer wheel studs

    I am doing a disk brake conversion using mini truck parts and 1981 FJ40 vented rotors. Will the original wheel studs from the 1985 mini truck be long enough? How much should be sticking out? Thanks.

    Torque specs for knuckle and hub studs.

    Can someone tell me the correct torque specs for the knuckle studs and hub studs? I am putting in new knuckle studs and hub studs as part of my disc brake conversion on the FJ40. The knuckle and hub is out of a 1985 Toyota 4x4. Please let me know if I have to worry about the torque, or is "as...
