Ok, I NEED my cruiser fixed. It's been sitting for 6 months now and I'm over it. I wish I had the mechanical wherewithal and time to fix it myself, but alas, I cannot. Here are the specs, challenges, and needs:
91' 3FE cruiser
Needs a new radiator, The thermostat sensor went and it overheated...
Outside of Discount/Costco, any other recommended tire shops in the area? It's time for a new set and I'm hoping to find a deal that keeps it under a grand.
Came across this profile when looking for front bumper options. Since I'm still learning this community has anyone worked with Chris from Lost Industries? He doesn't look to be active on the forums anymore.

Hello All! I'm glad to have my 80 back up and running after a year hiatus and had an idea to put a wireless charger in the space that just to me screams that is was made exactly for this in the center console. Good thing these 80's were designed with 2020 tech in mind :).
Steps are simple...
Ok, I've done my due diligence and searched the forum, but most the threads I found are outdated or don't provide all the info needed. I need a new set of lamps, housing and all. I'm not looking for a retrofit or how much of a tan I can get by standing in front of them. Just a solid plug-n-play...
Back in an 80 for less than a month and already posting up an advice thread... It's a beautiful start of a love hate :)
Picked up a 91 with 179k miles in West Phoenix. Mechanic owned. Checked out when I bought it. 1 week later noticed a pretty significant leak in the far front driver side when...
NOT MINE. A little out of range for me but looks like a nice setup:

I hate that it has come to this. :(
About 2 weeks ago my 80 quit on me while commuting to work. PLEASE READ before asking questions as it is currently NOT running:
I purchased the vehicle in December of 2014, everything was in good running order minus a notable exhaust leak and a...
Was driving down the road and started hearing a knock coming from what sounded like the valve cover, then a pop, then a sound like someone just punched the engine in the solar plexus. She died right there. Hoping the timing chain didn't break... Or worse. Guess I'll keep you updated.
My Fellow Gents and Distinguished Ruffians,
I have been talking with @bhicks about spinning up some retro emblems typically found on the fj40's. I know they can be found on ebay, but have not been able to find any of the "TOYOTA" ones without the bend that could fit somewhere on the 80 series...
Gentlemen, I've been doing my do-diligence as far as getting this 94' back to the shape she deserves to be in. I just recently had a new exhaust fabricated and bolted on, runs so much better and doesn't sound like a wind up toy anymore.
I brought it out to the freeway and cranked it up to about...
Has anyone heard of this brand before? I'm a little skeptical...

Just got rid of my 91' and am looking to fill the gaping hole in my soul. Would love to find a rig that has already had some things taken care of like a lift and lockers added somewhere around the 150k milage or less range for $12k or under. I'm in Wilmington, NC but can and will travel within a...
Ever since I installed my new phone/glasses holder I have to beat the ladies off with a stick. Sure babe, you can ride, but you have to chip in for gas...
I'm looking to possible swap my 91 3fe daily driver for a newer model one, or possibly even upgrade to a 100 series *gasps!* there is a crazy range of what people have these up for price-wise on craigslist. I consider mine pretty close to stock and in clean condition with minor paint...
94' Has all the stuff I've yet to do with mine and over 100k miles less... Want to hop on it but they are asking $10k. If it is fair I'm still game, but wanted to get your expert opinions. Here is the run-down:
"94 Hunter green 80 series LC
Daily driver with 151k original miles. Tan/beige...
So I'm always short on cash and I don't know how to weld to make a really nice rear bumper so I modded the stock for all of $35 and some change. I am happy with how it turned out, and should quell my ambitions to drop 1k on a new bumper.
I removed both plastic parts, but kept the mounts...
