Despite having been around here for years previously, I wasn't where on 'Mud, one posts a WTB thread, so I thought I'd start here since by request is for a 120 Series chassis. Mods, move if necessary.
Looking for a good used 3rd member to install in my 4Runner. Looking for a direct swap...
******SOLD******
I bought this Land Cruiser with sincere plans to swap in an LS 5.3 v8, hence all of the extra love I've been giving this rig. Then I came to realize that, although I have the skills, with a toddler and baby, I just don't have the time it would take to complete the swap...
I'm pretty stoked about the seat heaters I installed. There's not much to them so this is mostly about the pictures and the feedback for other forum members who might be on the fence about them.
These are the ones I bought: Amazon.com: Sports Imports LLC 2 Seats Universal Carbon Fiber Dual...
I'm doing some wiring in my LC and just want to verify that the black box coming off my power terminal is just a junction box and not fused in any way. As far as I can tell it isn't.
This is the black box I'm referring to:
I'm thinking of eliminating it and doing a bus bar like this:
Not content to leave good enough alone with my front dual cup holders, I asked Brad to create a specific size cup holder that I could drop into my flat top center console lid. As usual he came through and I'm well on my way to 4, of what will ultimately be 6 cup holders, effectively bringing my...
I normally only post in the 80 series forum, but I made this a while back because I love the lines of the 60 series and thought I'd share it with you guys. Enjoy...
I contacted ORO about their dual rate Swayloc system. I was informed that they make their bars in-house so they can make any length you want.
I haven't really thought this all the way through yet and there doesn't appear to be a lot of placement options on the 80, but there must be something...
I'd never heard the acronym before 'Mud, but it's like gospel here. Does everyone really use Toyota FIPG instead of the usual Hi-Temp (or whatever is appropriate) RTV silicone sealer?
I'm facing an oil pan reseal and need to know what is a must, and what can I RELIABLY get by with. I've use...
Or maybe more appropriately; 3-link+panhard (4-link?) vs. 4-link+panhard (5-link?).
I see a lot of threads on people doing 3 links and that's awesome!
But why no 4 links? They flex better than our stock setups and IMO are probably safer due to the redundancy of the 2nd upper link.
Not...
I got some new wrap for my engine harness near the EGR tube as mine has pretty much crumbled away.
Can I just wrap the EGR tube instead. Seems like it would be good to reduce the under hood temps by using a header type wrap on it.
Added benefit would be not having to worry about burning my...
Visually checked all my vacuum lines and found a lose one a couple weeks back, reconnected it and no change.
Today I took apart my vacuum modulator. Looks good to me, but wanted to get the expert feedback since I've never messed with EGR stuff before.
Also, I blew through all of the vacuum...
If you could add any creature comforts to your 80, what would they be?
I've added Bluetooth wireless when I upgraded my stereo and I'm working on a better center console with 4 cup holders.
What other things have you added or wished you could?
Is this possible? I guessing I'll be leaking gear oil if I drive with the locker removed. Does anyone make a cover plate I could install while I rebuild the locker? I just can't have any downtime.
Thanks,

My initial idea to simply mount the top half of a trucks fold down arm rest didn't work out quite how I had hoped, primarily due to the cup holder part of the setup. The idea kept evolving to the point that it was turning into a full custom console so I just ran with it.
For now all I have is a...
I had a few expectations of my 80. Gas mileage was NOT one of them. However a decently comfortable ride was one of them. I noted the harsh ride when I test drove it, but I attributed that to the previous owners 20" rims, which are now gone. Unfortunately the rough ride remains. I've owned owned...
Thinking about cup holders and my crappy center console, which lacks a padded arm rest, has me wondering about mounting the top half of a truck style folding center console like this
Hey all! I have a '93 with a brown cloth interior. I have a standard low center console cover. was hoping to get a later style tall cover (like in the image), but I'm not sure if they were made in brown. I'm also looking for a 3rd row seat strap/hook (also pictured), head rests and a battery...
I was at this place today: http://www.foreignusedautoparts.org/ scrounging for misc parts for my 80 when I spotted a loose front axle on the ground next to the 80 I was getting parts from. Note that has a factory elocker mechanism attached to it. I didn't get under the 80, but it seems...
A junkyard search yielded a promising set of dual visors from a 1994 Chrysler New Yorker. The mount position widths are the same and the color is a near perfect match, however I had to get creative when it came to actually bolting them up as the mount holes are 180 degrees apart and the spring...
