    How much for recycling OE Cats?

    I'm getting ready to replace my exhaust, which I'm pretty sure is original. I know the OE cats had high levels of platinum and are worth some $$$ when recycled. I'm considering having the work done and I'm wondering how much recycling those cats might offset the cost of labor? If you've...

    For those considering a V-8 swap . . .

    Just saw this on Craigslist in Boise. Not affiliated in any way but looks pretty sweet. http://boise.craigslist.org/cto/5061428407.html Edit: just noticed it was listed June 6--may be sold already.

    Oem belt design

    I lost my belts on the highway over the weekend. Had the cruiser towed to the local Toyota dealer to repair since it was much closer. The belts they used are ribbed or have cogs/lugs underneath. It seems that last time I bought belts they were smooth. Anyone know for sure? The belts are now...

    Torque on oil pump srews

    I've been searching for about an hour and can't find it. My computer died today and it has my FSM (using my iPad). Can anyone help me with the torque spec for the oil pump screws?

    Head gasket--slightly rough block

    I've been replacing my head gasket all summer as time and mostly money permits. I was leaking at #6 and the gasket finally blew there. I have my rebuilt head back from the shop and was giving the mating surface on the block one more pass with the gasket scraper before attempting to mount the...

    Fuel Injector Plug Housing

    When pulling the injector plugs during my head gasket surgery, #6 was brittle and broke. CDan sold me a new plug housing (this is for the plug on the wiring harness, not the injector) but I need to get the wires out of the old one. Does anyone know what kind of tool to use and where to find...

    Head Bolt Size/Shape

    I've been searching and reading for over an hour now and haven't found the answer. I'm to the point of removing the head bolts and when I tried to remove them, I noticed they aren't your normal bolts. From what I can find, they are 12 mm 12 point but what type of head? Mine are cone or...

    RTH: Weird cooling system behavior

    I've been smelling coolant for a while and sometimes hear big, slow bubbles from the radiator after turning off the engine. I've done some searching on the forum and decided I have a problem, though not sure what it is. I decided to start with flushing the system since I hadn't done that in a...

    Rear hatch/tailgate rattle

    Ever since I went on a mountain road with horrible washboards over the summer, I've noticed that my tailgate/hatch rattle when going over bumps. It's not just a small rattle but a deep, entire-assembly-rattling sound and I've noticed when I shut the hatch, there is quite a vibration in the...

    Driving in Idaho with Pics

    I just got back a bit ago from a 10 hour afternoon drive. My plan was to drive to a fairly remote camping spot (only accessible by ATV or 4wd) in south central Idaho, then hike to an alpine lake and enjoy a night camping in the process. I should have known things weren't going to work out when...

    Electrical Gremlin

    I had this problem about a year ago, cleaned the battery terminals and it went away until now. . . For some background, I have a '96 LX 450 with about 165000 miles. I've been driving it without a battery hold down as it didn't have one when I bought it. I wedged some oil bottles in the...

    Slight driver's side lean

    I have a slight (3/8") height difference between my front driver's side and passenger's side wheels to the wheel well that causes a barely noticeable lean towards the driver's side. Any ideas what the cause may be? I'm not sure if it would be shocks or the springs. I bought my 80 with an OME...

    Best Idea for Removing a Sheared Bolt

    A while back I was removing the skid plate under the radiator to gain access to the radiator and one of the bolts sheared on me. What is the best way to get the remaining bolt out of there? I've seen welding mentioned before but I don't weld and what's left is below the surface. I've thought...

    PHH Bypass: What problems might I encounter?

    I recently changed out my PHH after having it go out on me during a long trip (I was able to limp home without making repairs). I bought standard 5/8" Goodyear heater hose from what's called Schuck's here (I think Kragen's elsewhere) and made the repair. I was lucky (?) in that both of the...
