A buddy and I are heading to southern Idaho in a couple of weeks for a few days of backpacking in the Sawtooth Mountains.
Our plan is to leave the Seattle area, bee-line it to the WA/ID border, take a few days getting to the Sawtooth's, spend about 4 days backpacking, then it's on to western...
Hey Mudders!
Just got new shoes for my Cruiser today: 33" x 10.5" Toyo MT's! I've been wanting 33's for some time... (pictures coming soon)
Given that my truck has a little over 200K miles on it, I'm interested in finding out who has 33's; 4.11's; and Rodney's Extreme A440. I'm looking...
Yesterday afternoon, my truck odometer turned 200,000 miles - AND RUNNING FLAWLESSLY!!! Show me any other make/model of SUV/4x4 that is as solid and runs as well as my rig (or other LC's/Toyota's, for that matter) - there isn't one!
Definitely a contribution to MY happy holiday!

Just found this portion of MUD via Google. I was looking for some info on Kaner for a buddy, and found that the South Sound Cruisers had done Kaner, Shoestring, etc. Good Times! I'll be keeping tabs on this section of MUD and hope to meet you all soon.
A couple weeks ago after a brief 4WD outing, my 4WD light stayed on. On closer inspection, the front drive shaft WAS engaged due to a solenoid that failed. I searched MUD and discovered a few options for replacement, then went to the Toyota dealer here in Tacoma.
Of the options available...
Just to cover the bases...
I found a great FJ55 tee on line and thought I'd share with all you Pig drivers! Enjoy.

I'm going to have my truck painted within the next two weeks. I'm interested in replacing all of the rubber, felt, welting, etc. associated with the grill, vents, turn signals, etc. Does anyone know where I can secure these items? I already have a new seal for the windshield - I'm more...
Happy Expensive Season Everybody!
I'm preparing to give my fuel system a cleaning treatment. Historically this has seemingly helped with performance and MPG (at least for the short-term). My question is this: What would be optimal with respect to the fuel treatment and the fuel filter...
I'm posting this for some friends of mine. Contact them directly if you are interested or if you'd like more information.

...and yes, I already did a search for this particular problem to no avail...
While out running errands at lunch yesterday, I noticed that the brakes pulsed mildly when applied (regardless of speed). On my way home last night, the problem got significantly worse. A cursory check showed that...
Some time ago, I read a post that cited an extreme throttle body for a 3FE. I've not been able to locate ANYTHING about the existance of such an item since. Anybody out there know of, or heard of an extreme throttle body for a 3FE???
My front windshield seal is leaking and desperately needs to be replaced. I'm considering replacing the glass at the same time. My problem lies in sourcing a piece of glass that will hold up as well as the glass that is currently in my truck. It is the original glass and has a few chips and...
ATTENTION THOSE OF YOU WITH A SHORT-BLOCK CHEVY (SBC for those nubies out there...):
I did a search in pursuit of the answer to the following question to no avail - so here goes:
What are YOU getting (MPG) with your SBC? Which SBC are you running (350, 350 TBI, 305, etc.)? What tranny is...
Has anyone seen this or does anyone know about this vehicle?

A while back, I recall a thread regarding replacement of vacuum hoses on an FJ60. I'm getting ready to replace all the vacuum hoses on my '88 FJ62 and have not been able to locate that thread...and believe me, I did a thorough search.
During my search, I did find info on why one shouldn't...
I have use of a pressure washer for another week or so. I'd like to pressure wash the undercarriage and frame of my 62. Anything I should consider before doing so? Should I take special measures to protect anything in particular?
Now soliciting questions, comments, and general input. Thanks!
Hello My Diesel Cousins:
I drive an '88 FJ62 - 3FE with the A440 slush box. I'd REALLY like to go diesel when the ol' 3FE gives up the ghost. I did a search seeking some information on the 2H engine and was not able to find what I seek.
What I'd like to find out is: what kind of fuel...
Last Thursday AM, I noticed that I had a new drip-spot under the Cruizer. A cursory look identified it as oil. I finally had a chance to look closer on Saturday, by which time I had lost about 1/2 quart of oil. It appears that the rear main seal has finally failed. I'm pretty sure this is...
I get to go shopping very soon...in Australia! Seeing as how I'll be over there, I believe I HAVE to pick up a few items for my '88 FJ62. I really don't see any way around it...
Ive got most of my "wish list" identified but I'm having trouble positively identifying/locating the fabled...
