I know there are formulas used by people smarter than I am to calculate cold tire pressure (gajin on the 200 forum is a guru), but I'm just looking for a ballpark to start from.
I am running Cooper Discoverer STT Pros in an LT315/70R17 - roughly 35".
I don't normally do much highway with the...
I'm chasing a problem which I've largely ignored and wanted to pick the collective brain on it.
Background is that this is a '94 with just over 300k miles. I bought it last year and have been chipping away at baselining it since.
When I first step on it from a dead stop, it bogs down, then I...
I understand there is a debate about wheel spacers. I'm not trying to reignite that debate.
At the moment, I need wheel spacers for my steelies to clear my extended sway bar mount.
I have a set of 1" spacers that I was going to use, but the front wheel studs are a bit too long, and the steel...
Question for anyone that rebuilds their own calipers: what do you like to use to lubricate the square seals and dust seals?
I believe the toyota rebuild kit I ordered (04479-60020) has a packet of stuff in it (arriving tomorrow), but I want to pick up a larger quantity.
I need to rebuild my...
I have a '94 with 4 wheel disc brakes, and I have it up on the lift replacing my tired OME suspension, adding extended brake lines, sway bar and bump stop drop brackets, etc. I have a long road trip at the end of the month, the rear pad are pretty worn, and figure it wouldn't hurt to toss some...
I just replaced my injectors and put everything back together.
It is running really well - better than ever - but something seems weird with the throttle (kick down) cable.
When the accelerator is released, the throttle cable keeps the throttle open and it creates a high idle.
For testing...
Does anyone know the thread pitch for the fasteners that attach the side brackets that hold the radio to the structure under the dash? (Not the ones that go through the bracket into the side of the radio)
I don't have a radio, and am trying to make something to attach ram balls to that is...
I mentioned on another thread that I was having my injectors rebuilt for my 1994 1FZ. I had ordered connectors from Ballinger Motorsports, but once I looked closely at the injector wires, I found two with broken sheathing/exposed wire and two that were cooked along a significant length and the...
Hi all,
My 80 has the early style interior and dash. I'm looking for a sturdy mounting solution for accessories like a tablet, handheld, gps receiver, mic, etc.
I've been spoiled by a cool mounting plate that Tim from Gamiviti made for my 200, where I have a mounting rail and movable ram ball...
Nothing new here, same old sqeuaky steering wheel fixed by replacing the horn pin and spring. I just thought it was interesting comparing the length of old and new pins and springs. Assuming the new and old started life at the same dimensions, this is what 300k miles and 30 years does. Brass on...
Hi all,
I'm looking for tips, tricks and other advice for depinning the Denso fuel injector connectors on the 1FZ. I sent my injectors out for service, and have a fresh set of connectors to go on in place of my 300k mile brittle ones. I see that there is a white center lock that needs to be...
I'd like to add an additional reinforcement to my interior tire carrier, and the grab handle mounts seem like a good candidate for an anchor point. Lots of old posts talk about a NLA product affectionately called the Slee Stripper Pole. I'm not having luck finding pictures. Anyone have photos...
I just smoke tested my 80 and found two spots where I have leaks to address.
First, I have a pretty good flow of smoke coming from around the fuel injector on cylinder 3. I imagine there is an o-ring on the outside of the injector that has probably failed. As best I can tell, these are original...
I've read several references on 'mud of two different generations of front drive flanges on the 80. I'd like to locate a set for trail spares, but I want to buy the correct version.
Is there a measurement that I could take on my current flanges to determine which version to buy?
I can't just...
I'm looking for the two second row door sections of the fender flares on a 93 or 94 80 series. Color doesn't matter (i have a mix and match set now that I need to paint before install). Perfection isn't required, this is a trail rig, that being said, the less body work the better. :) Looking for...
I was wondering if anyone has found a source for the fasteners that Australian Door Cards uses from a vendor in the US?
They're a two piece push fastener that is pretty common when attaching plastic parts to metal panels. The twist is they are grey. I can't find them online or locally...
Are there any guidelines about how the ARB air locker manifold needs to be oriented?
My 80 came with an ARB compressor and lockers, with a mount that was kind of janky, so I'm trying to relocate it.
The manifold came to me with the air chuck on the high end and the air line from the compressor...
I need to replace caster correction bushings with stock bushings.
I have a 20 ton press and experience with this kind of work. What are people using for press bushings? I have a minimal set of random bits of steel and sockets, but nothing purpose made.
I'll probably use this once and put it on...
