    Bottle jack alternatives and how to safely store/secure them

    My '96 US spec truck has a cubby hole with a latched cover on the passenger side, opposite the jack/tool kit cubby. It measures 4" x 9" x 13"...maybe you could stuff the jack in there? :-) -Andy

    Is it ok to drive with the alternator unplugged?

    Don't know if you would toast the batteries, good thing you have two. You could maybe drive on one until it begins to die, then switch to the other. When both are drained, you could wait around for several hours, I think they might charge back up. But doing this repeatedly *might* toast the...

    Is it ok to drive with the alternator unplugged?

    I don't think the battery would last very long, like several minutes maybe before things started going dim. Just based on what I have experienced driving with alternators that weren't charging. :-) -Andy

    Are any of you daily driving their 80-Series?

    My 80 has been pulling mostly weekend-warrior duty, hence 135K on the clock. In the interim, my DD has been an '88 Camry, 01 Civic, and currently a '13 Sonic (LTZ with Turbo and 6-speed manual, so it's sort of fun.) But with gas now cheap, and the fact that I'm moving 300 miles away soon. the...

    96 LX450 Reliable Daily Driver?

    ^^^THIS^^^ I had a 2001 Civic I drove the crap out of, and loved it! I think I drove it around for a year or so low on coolant...couldn't figure out why the heat didn't work...lol! Then I broke the timing belt about 50' from my driveway, managed to cut the engine and put it in neutral in...

    96 LX450 Reliable Daily Driver?

    I noticed the ad is lacking any undercarriage photos. Since it's a NOVA truck, you'll want to take a look for rust underneath. Also the exhaust from the cats back, including the hangers , mounts and mount cushions, and make sure the spare tire winch thingy isn't rusted in place. If you can...

    How important is this exhaust shield?

    On the plus side... If you have a water leak on the passenger side, having no heat shield there helps the carpet dry out faster! :-) -Andy

    Builds The "Wart Hog" - 1996 Land Cruiser Build

    RiFF RaFF, You would like it down Cranberry Wilderness/Highland Scenic Hwy, if you haven't been; the Hwy tops out at about 4600' or so (I used to backpack Dolly Sods *years* ago.) And Frederick Municipal Forest is a pretty cool place to hang out, but no extreme wheeling: 4x4 Icon - Frederick...

    Trying to determine a value for a freind and her son

    I'm in the process of cleaning up my own undercarriage with scrapers/wire brushes/naval jelly/used motor oil...makes a big difference in the aesthetics (granted, mine is mostly surface rust.) A general underside clean-up might help raise the selling price...just my $0.02. :-)

    1996 LX450 Exhaust Hangers---gone

    Looks Good! What are you using for the rest of the system? I've read some folks using the Magnaflow cats, then going OEM the rest of the way back. Have also heard about aftermarket mufflers and such rusting out after a couple of years, whereas the OEM stuff lasts 20 years, even here in salty...

    Looking at an 80, need some trained eyes (WITH PICS)

    Is this it: Economy Auto Sales Specials If so, it DOES look a lot better up top than underneath. You didn't mention where in WV you are, but here is another truck in Pittsburg (but no engine/undercarridge photos): Martin Auto Sales Specials I think your chances of getting a...

    Wheel Bearing Question

    I was taking a look at my FSM for some upcoming PM, and noticed that the wheel bearings and races are labeled as "non-reusable parts." :confused: If someone didn't know better, they would think that these bearings couldn't be removed, repacked and reinstalled. Any insights? Thanks...
