I don't have pictures and I can only state the facts, the first being: if you own a vehicle you happen to care about do not under any circumstances agree to let your wife take it on a trip without you. My wife drove my LX to Nashville to pick up some of her tribe. The LX can seat 7ish butts...
I'm going through my front diff right now and putting new bushings and seals in. When you install the axle seals I've read that they should be 5.5mm in. My question is when you have a straight edge over the the edge of the axle tube and diff should the inner lips of the seals touch it or be...
I'm looking into putting a TJM T13 bull bar + Warn Zeon winch w/synthetic line out front. I measured my pressures after cross leveling as per YOTAMD's cheat sheet and I was @ 10 in H and 9 after maxing my TBs. I just realized you're supposed to check pressures from L to N, so I will go back...
I saw a local deal that I couldn't pass up on a 98 LX470. This is my first 100 series, so I'm starting all over in the 100 FAQ. Mine is all stock and in need of the usual base line work. Planning on replacing the radiator, all fluids, heater T, T-belt/water pump, serpentine belt, tensioners...
Looking at what's out there and I like the Defiance and then the TJM. I've always been an ARB fan though and am leaning that way, but I like the 2003+ version of their deluxe bumper better than the 98-2002. Can you put an 03+ on a 98-02?
We've had our JB Evasion just over two years now. Everything has done well. It's seen just over a year's worth of time outdoors on top of our vehicles. We store it inside our garage when not in use. One thing that tends to go on these is the solar vent fan on top. For whatever reason it...
I picked up an 05 that I think the PO put head gasket sealant in the radiator fluid before he sold it to me. I'm planning on having the HG done as soon as possible. Truck (V6) is sitting at 218k right now. My question is how long will this HG sealant work? I've already put almost 2K miles on...
I have seen a number of posts with great looking US HZJ75LVs. A few LHD, most RHD. Has anyone seen one with the pop top conversion already done stateside? Is there anyone in the US that does them? I'm wondering if it would be more cost effective to buy and convert or keep looking for one...
Great shape. Red. A little rust in the outer rockers and behind the front indicators. Couple of pin holes beside driver's seat, but otherwise rust free. Rear sill and deck are rust free as are the corners. This 40 was originally an AZ vehicle.

Here's one that might have potential. Original white with respray on the outside. Has some rust in the bottoms of the doors and rockers. Owner says the smog stuff is still there as is the original carb. Also has original steel wheels. Has AC, but doesn't work. Also has soft top, but he...
I rebuilt my Center Arm with the Cruiser Outfitter's kit as well as a new set of 555 TREs today. Steering slop is much better now and I no longer have the slight death wobble I've had since rotating my tires. (I think they need to be balanced again.)
I ended up reusing the original cap and...
Couple of questions. Are there two different thread types for the 40 bearing cap studs? I ordered some aftermarket ones and they look right, but have a lot of resistance going in so I didn't try to force them. The old ones I can thread in with my fingers. I wonder if it's the zinc plating on...
Managed to find an angry tree root today while hopping over a fallen tree. It looks like I'll be looking for new tires soon. I'm running the old BFG MTs in 33x12.5x15.
What size and tread pattern to you all like on a DD 40 (4" lift)?
