    '94 Pickup. Sell as-is, or do the work?

    Thinking of selling my old truck. It's in great shape for a 25 year old truck with 230k on it, but I've been deferring a lot of maintenance since the Land Cruiser has been getting all the attention. I got a new Tacoma to replace it, but the Taco isn't my favorite truck! Right now the looming...

    Grip Shift w/Shimano derailleur??

    So I'm helping a friend out with refreshing his beater bike (which needs a rear derailleur) and I have a compatibility question. He can't recall the service history but right now it has Grip Shift shifters and a Shimano derailleur, but I thought they were incompatible. Did/does Shimano make a...

    Wanted  WTB: 80 series ('97) running boards in Bay Area

    Wanted for free hopefully, as many people just toss these. I really only need the passenger side, but if the pair is in good shape I don't mind ponying up a few $$$

    Controlling the ARB dual compressor with the "Magic Dial"

    OK, I know this has been done in different ways, but a MUD member contacted me for recommendations so I thought I'd post here for everyone. Before you read any further: YES, THIS SETUP ALLOWS COMPRESSOR-ONLY OPERATION. First, locate the diff-lock ECU connector in the right kick panel and use...

    Anza Borrego, Bradshaw Trail after Xmas

    Just found out I'll be off work until after the holidays. The :princess: is always trying to get me to take her to Anza Borrego (her favorite), but then asked me to check into the Bradshaw trail. I just learned it's a rockhound's paradise, that's her for sure. Any recomendations? We're open...

    Stealth, Cheap Subwoofer

    So after installing the four Polk Audios in the doors and putting a 4x30W amp behind them, I found that these have great bass all on their own. Enough that the little factory sub-thingy was now completely useless. What I needed next was a "true" subwoofer, one that would produce the first...

    What I discovered about the factory amplifier

    It uses high-pass filtering on the rear channels! (cuts off the bass). Those outputs are what feeds the subwoofer amp! So I finally finished installing my (4) Polk db651's last night and was immediately impressed with the bass response of the front door speakers (dash speakers are removed)...

    Fixed the CD player and LCD backlight

    The factory radio had no display light when I bought the Cruiser and shortly after, the CD stopped working. Four years later I finally got around to this. Pulled the head-unit, removed the top cover (6 screws): Located the laser pickup: Cleaned the lens using pure (anhydrous alchohol):

    Air locker shelf life?

    So I'm already having a problem with my new ARB locker: At first it wouldn't release, now it just vents the air out the breather. The rear-end specialist that installed it says he's seen this problem before. "When the locker has been on the shelf for a long time, the grease on the piston...

    Air locker control made SUPER simple

    This is what I started with before getting all fancy with the custom ECU seen here: https://forum.ih8mud.com/80-series-tech/687173-home-brew-diff-lock-ecu-air-lockers.html All you need to buy is the Toyota "magic" switch and one diode. (And a relay if you have the ARB mini compressor.)...

    Home brew diff lock ECU for air lockers

    When I looked into air lockers I saw this ARB demo video where the guy looked like he was playing dashboard piano when he went to operate those big switches. I thought, no....Toyota got it right with the single rotary switch. But how would I integrate it with the OBA system and maintain the...
