Thanks for the info. The tires on now are 60s...is there a space issue if I go to 65s? I don't know much about this. When you ask about lifting the rig, I presume that a tire with a bigger sidewall than 60, would require more room in the wheel wells (?)
Probably looking for something in the...
I have a 2019 Land Cruiser; tires on now are 285/60R18 & I need a really good off-road tire. Most I find are 65. Can I put a 65 tire on my car? If not, what is the best off-road tire I can get. Using it for rough road, mud, steep inclines. Thank you...Pat
Yes, I pulled them apart at the same time and kept both sides separate so each of the adjusters are on the correct side. Thanks for the direction on the manual adjustment. Now I just need to find out how the lower tension springs are positioned: on the outside or the inside of the metal piece...
I did a brake job on my 1992 Landcruiser and I have some questions:
When I checked the auto-adjusters, prior to putting the drums back on, they seemed to work as designed: every time I pulled up on the emergency brake the auto-adjust cam snagged a tooth on the adjustment gear and pulled it...
I have a 92 FJ80 that I've had forever. After a heavy rainstorm the other day I heard water gushing around as I started and stopped. Sounded like it was in the room, but I discovered that it was actually in the left rocker panel. I popped the 3 plugs along the bottom of the rocker and water...
I'm doing a brake job on a 92 Landcruiser, replacing the rotors and bearings while I'm at it. I noticed that the rubber grommets around 2 of the brake caliper pistons are worn and pieces of the rubber are missing. How do I replace these? Any suggestions? Thanks for any help you can provide...
Doing a front brake job on a 92 Landcruiser. I want to replace the rotors also. Is there any "trick" to removing the rotors? I also have wheel bearings that I'm thinking about replacing, but not sure how to do all that. I've done it on other cars and it was not too difficult; anything...
Doing the front brakes on my 92 FJ-80. I'm planning to replace the rotors, pads, and bearings. Is there anything else I should be thinking about replacing? Any special advice or tips anyone can offer? Anything special about replacing the bearings? Special tools? As you can see, I have never...
Had an overheating problem with my 92 Landcruiser (160K miles). Replaced radiator, water pump, fan clutch, thermostat, hoses; backflushed the system, etc. I did this based on some very good advice of some of the experienced members and things went very well. Thanks so much for help. Well, I...
What position does this jiggler valve have to be in? I just replaced a tstat in a 92 Landcruiser and paid no attention to where that thing aligned. NO leaks, thank goodness, but now I'm concerned that I did not do this correctly. Any advice? Thanks,
Pat...
Power steering cooler? Where is it and what does it look like? I have this buttoned up at this point (except for the grill work). CanI still get at this cooler with all this stuff in the way? I will replace it, if you suggest that this is a good idea. I want to do this right. Let me know...
Just finishing the overhaul of the cooling system on my 92 FJ-80: new water pump, thermostat, fan clutch, radiator and hoses and I need some advice on flushing out the system. I read the post on back-flushing with everything attached, but is there a way to do this without running the old stuff...
Anyone have the following info on fluid capacities for a 92 Landcruiser:
Coolant
Transmission fluid when just draining the transmission
Also what is the mix of coolant and distilled water on a complete refill after flushing the system.
Thanks, Pat...
Hi DougM,
I've owned the car for 6 years; one owner prior to me. Well maintained by Toyota, but the prices are getting high and I can do most of what needs to be done and want to learn about the stuff I can't do (yet). I appreciated the advice and suggestions and will give them a try. I...
