    Maint Req warning light

    Greetings. I have an 07 FJ 4x4 that is new to me. Recently the Maint Req light started blinking after the engine is started. So I looked in the owners manual and it said that this means the oil needs changed. So I changed the oil (with Toyota motor oil and filter) and the light is still...

    New Spiral Cable - Still No Horn, Airbag or Cruise Control

    A couple of months back my horn stopped working. I traced the problem to the steering wheel and then noticed that my airbag light was on. Damn. :bang: Some time later I discovered that my cruise control didn't work either. :bang: So I posted my symptoms up on the Mud board and was advised that...

    Front Axle Rebuild - Grrrrrrrrr! Hated it!

    Just finished rebuilding my front axle on my '95 Cruiser. It was THE messiest job I have ever attempted. I went through over 300 disposable gloves, several rolls of paper towels and over 100 shop rags. What really got me was reinstalling the passenger side lower trunnion bearing cover. I...

    The title says it all. Well, mostly. It;s a '99 4Runner, 4 cyl. automatic, 2WD base model. We bought it from a dealership a few months back and right away noticed that when the engine was hot, say you drove the truck for ten miles in traffic, then shut it off, I wouldn't start until it cooled...

    Front Axle Oil Seal Tool Needed

    I am replacing the seals on my front axle as it has blown out on the drivers side. The only thing I lack for this job is the tool for installing the oil seals in the axle. Does anyone have one that they would be willing to let me borrow? I have a UPS account and will pay shipping both ways...

    Head Gasket Replacement; Valve Question

    Here's what's up. I'm replacing the HG on a '93 Cruiser with 190K miles(engine runs like a top, very smooth and strong). I have not removed the head yet. What I am wondering is how I should proceed with regard to the valves. I'm no good with a feeler gage, and don't trust myself to be able...

    Horn Won't Work, Air Bag Light On. Help?

    Howdy folks. I have run into what appears to be an unusual problem with my 1995 Cruiser. The horn stopped working about the same time I noticed the airbag light was on. My horns work if I jumper the relay, so the problem is between the steering column and the relay under the hood. But I am...

    Changed ECU - windows and locks quit working

    The title says it all. I changed the ECU for a reason I posted a while back. That didn't fix the problem I was experiencing (trouble codes 83, 84, and 85 I think) so I switched the ECU's back. Then the freaking windows, locks and sunrood quit working. WTF? Anybody got any experience with...

    Viscour Coupler or Locker stuck??

    I know this has been covered here, but I can't makes sense of what I'm experiencing relative to what I read when I searched. Based on what I read I think my viscous coupler is starting to bind, in the early stages of going out, but I am not certain, and would like advice on what specific test...

    Accidental AC Dryer removal

    When I put on my ARB bull bar I never figured I would ever have anything hit the AC dryer, as I don't wheel in the rocks and approach angle isn't an issue in Florida. Most of the time. So the other day I get called out to rescue a stuck heep. I get there to find a Ford Ranger is also...

    Spark Plug Grommets - Removal Tips?

    Hi folks. I am replacing my valve cover gasket and spark plug grommets while I have it off. I am having trouble getting the stubborn gromets out. They are all very brittle, and stuck tight in the recesses for them. Any tips on getting the little buggers out of there?? Thanks in advance.

    Carbon on Pistons

    I have noticed that a common discovery when removing the cylinder heads is that there is a bunch of carbon build up on the pistons. If you go back and look at the pics of some of the HG threads you can always see which cylinder the gasket failed at because the top of that piston is clean. And...

    Chains for Mud?? Explain w/ Pics?

    I have been reading on here about people recommending chains for added traction in mud. This is totally new to me, never heard of before. Are you talking about snow chains? I don't see how that would help in mud. Any explanation will be appreciated. Especially if it has pics.

    Gorilla Rust Repair

    Like every truck that lives or lived where the roads are salted in the winter, my truck has some serious rust. I was under the truck doing something and I noticed that the USPS rear quarter was in bad shape. What made it a problem is that there were holes rusted through the inner, outer, and...

    Sloppy Slip Yoke

    I'm in the process of changing my u-joints. When I got the rear shaft out, i noticed that the slip youke was pretty sloppy. Laying the drive shaft on the bench, the slip yoke can be turned clockwise and counterwise a little bit, but it is snug if I lift up on it or push it down. So, my...
