Hi, all.
Mods, please delete this if this breaks your rules.
I don’t know many folks in the Cruiser community in Michigan, but I used to be pretty active in the VA/DC chapter of TLCA. Moved to southeast MI a couple years ago and sold all my Toyotas.
I have a Runva 11k lb winch with wireless...
I've had this FZJ80 for 11 years. It was my daily driver up until 2014. Since then, I've only driven it one or two off-road trips per year, drives to Home Depot, and the occasional cruise around town. I never wheeled this truck more than a couple times a year, but when I did, I did not go easy...
I bought the truck two years ago from Ken Romer. It was his daughter Rachel's truck, which he maintained for her. Here's his for sale thread - For Sale - SOLD - daughterofromers 2002 4Runner Limited
Ken had a lot of preventative work done, and the previous owners did the same. I've got receipts...
Any advice on a powerful, cordless impact driver? It would be my only impact driver for a while, so I probably want to start with a 1/2 inch drive? Unless there’s a 3/8” strong enough?
I want something I can get lug nuts off with, separate 80 series hubs from discs with, etc.
Question for the VA folks. I just get a failed emissions result. The emissions readings themselves were fine. I only failed because the tech said he could not see a visible serial number stamped or labeled on the outside of my catalytic converter.
I have a single, aftermarket cat on my 80. This...
My rear suspension clanks when I go over any bumps, especially at an angle. I narrowed down to worn bushings in the rear sway bar links.
A closer look revealed that the links are actually being pushed at an angle. Almost as if the sway bar was pushing too far forward.
I have a Sonoran...
Hi Upstate Cruiser folks,
Is there anyone going to Logan's Run that would be willing and able to pick up a third member and front axle housing from a guy in Spartanburg and bring it with you?
I live just outside D.C. and won't be at Logan's Run. But a friend of mine will be, and he's offered...

I'm looking for a front differential from a locked 80 series that I can just drop into my axle housing.
I trashed my gears when my diff drain plug jumped ship in the highway, and I'm not ready to pull the trigger on a re-gear just yet. Hoping I can find a stock unit in decent shape.
What you got?
Almost a year on, and I'm finally getting the chance to pull the diff and see what I broke on my way back from Fall Crawl last year.
I need advice on getting the short side axle out.
The birf comes out but gets wedged. I'm sure this is because I don't have the flat sides of the birf perfectly...
I know it's been a long while since I was really active in the Cruiser community (here or on the trail), but the last couple years, I've been even more scarce than usual.
Lest y'all think that's because I've been focused on lesser pursuits, here's an exchange I had this morning:
[We're on our...
Does anyone know where I could find a diff drain plug for an 80 on the west side of Baltimore.
I pulled over when I heard a whine to find that mine is gone.
Sometimes I have a question that is so painfully remedial that I'm almost embarrassed to ask. This is such a question.
When I installed my winch, I used a marine battery that had auxiliary terminal posts on the front. My new battery does not.
Any recommendations for connecting the ground...
The BBRC Fall Crawl is coming up next month, a little earlier than usual. - BBRC Fall Crawl 2017
I'm planning on going up Thursday afternoon. Who's in?
While crawling around under the new-to-me '02 4Runner, I noticed what looked like a grease emulsion (chocolate pudding) front passenger side.
Being that I am utterly ignorant about IFS suspensions, I'm not exactly sure where to look to determine the source. Or even what terms to use when...
Hey, everyone. I'm looking to be my daily driver and to take baby to daycare 1-2 times a week.
Based on the pics, where it's lived and who's doing the selling, this one looks like a good choice. Any reason I should stay clear?
