With the full set up, I was getting 17.65 sec. I made some other changes (ECU and high flow cats). The ignition was the only thing that gave more power. Land Cruisers are really easy to drag race. As soon as I staged (I would also shallow stage) I would stomp on the brake. When the first yellow...
I would take Autolite plugs and increase the gap from 0.032 to 0.075". The high energy ignition added about 15 hp. I advanced the timing to about 13° BTDC and that added about another 5 hp. I didn't dyno it, but I did take it to a dragstrip and calculated the hp increase on the improved 1/4 mile...
Thanks for the recs. I have always gone with OEM, but wondered if there was any experience otherwise. I am replacing my wires much sooner than everyone else. Even though I am not a very proactive mechanic. About 10 years ago, I installed a high energy Jacobs ignition that is a little hard on the...
Hi All,
I did search the board for experiences with different brand wires, but I didn't get any hits. Look at all these wire brands http://tinyurl.com/y8o3zesPrices range from $57 to over $100. As I'm not the most proactive mechanic, I would want the best performance (longevity &...
I replaced the modulator a few years ago. This was an independant shop, but the tech had previously worked for the local Toyota dealer for ten years and diagnosed the failure.
The price was pretty steep, $634 with $157 for parts. Based on what others have posted here, it is a pretty lengthy repair. I work long hours and just didn't have the time for it. The truck also seems to idle a little smoother.
Hi All,
Just to add my two cents to the volumes of discussion here. I have had the code for two years. Some years ago, I made some minor bolt on modifications to my cruiser and monitored mileage regularly. I believe the error code (in open loop) caused a reduction of about 1 - 2 mpg. Also, in...
I have one in Memphis, it has a small amount of damge. I would think it would be fine for a spare though. I have been trying to find a home for it. And the price is right.

Hi All,
I have a stock 80 Series Wheel. I've held on to this wheel some time and haven't found any use for it, so I should probably let it go. I had the brakes done at the dealer where I bought it some years ago. The brain surgeon that replaced the rotors used the wrong bolts and...
I bought these when we lived in Chicago, now in Memphis, I just don't anticipate needing them. They are 16" × 8" Borbet wheels with 275/70 Bridgestone Winter Deuler tires. I would guess there is just 15,000 miles on them. I bought them from Tire Rack in 2000 and only used them mid December to...
I believe they are slightly different. Here is a photo from '91 - '94,
Here is a photo from '95 - '97. The earlier versions don't have a grommet hole on the drivers side.
My guess is they would fit, but these OEM floor mats are listed on eBay for $75.
Best regards,
Matt
I have a set of brand new 40th Anniversary floor mats. They are still sealed in the original plastic. The original receipt from when ordered is still taped on the plastic. The ball and chain ordered them January 22, 1999. Then she totaled the '97. I could put them in my '96 but it seems like a...
