    I've seen a couple trucks were builders used all of the factory steering, factory coils, and factory shocks and made their own 3 link setup.. anyone have any actual links to builds? Or ideas where to get frame side brackets or axle side brackets or link pieces to fabricate? I'd like to do this...

    HF2AV versus HF2A rebuild kit?

    I've searched everything my tunnel vision mind can come up with, what is the difference in the bearing kit for the V versus the non viscous transfer case? My LX is viscous coupling, I can find some semi inexpensive rebuild kits for the non v/c cases. None for the V/C case. Any help or info...

    Fix one issue and another appears?

    Had a busy couple weeks with the Alaskan LX, she got a brand new set of Nitro 5.29's in frond and rear axle, rebuilt the knuckles, went through all 4 hubs and cleaned and re set them up, addressed a Ujoint that was a little soft and finally got some test drive/break in miles on her. Yesterday I...

    Brake bleeding with scan tool

    Does anyone know if the SnapOn Solus is capable of performing the ABS pump brake bleeding procedure? My flex lines and couple hard lines are looking pretty rough, and I want to get the brakes bled correctly. Or will the 'pump pump pump till my leg cramps' properly move the fluid?

    Pinion Gear slop?

    How much play should I expect from my pinion gear on my differentials? My LX is locked, and I've been told the locked diffs are supposed to be 'looser' than open diffs... I'm trying to identify a torque clunk from the front axle... if the wheels are turned and I reverse, it feels like something...

    Switched Ignition Power Source

    Just pulled the trigger on a dash mounted USB and 12v charge port with voltmeter and a fuse panel so I can clean up some of the underhood maze I have accumulated. Where is a good place to tap for a switched ignition hot source for the relay for the fuse panel? Yes, I can probe my own circuits...

    ARB Bumpers and Frame and .......mud

    Had the lovely experience of pulling my ARB off the truck after 4 years of wheeling and daily duty and one young moose on the highway at about 60MPH. Figured now was as good a time as any to replace all the hardware after the moose hit, and clean things out that I normally cant get to. I was...

    Modifications to Fan Shroud?

    Has anyone cut or clearanced their fan shroud to be removed without draining any fluids? I've determined the majority of my too hot issues are air flow related, and cleaning the mud out from behind the shroud will help this situation dramatically. Seems the circle directly adjacent to the fan...

    Tie Rod upgrade?

    Along with overheating the truck this weekend.... My tie rod is bent. Since I damaged the stock rod, for me, its time to upgrade!! I'm wondering if the taper in the knuckles is the same as Chevy one ton TRE? Or will I have to ream out the knuckles to accept the GM taper? Thinking 1 1/2 inch...

    To sway or not to sway...bar?

    What are thoughts or opinions on a daily driven LX with 2.5 OME and 30mm spacers on 315s being run without sway bars? Thinking about disconnecting or removing completely my front, I removed the bar on my 94 Toyota pickup and loved it. Unsure about this lumbering bumblewagon... Thanks!!!

    96 LX completed 7 pin mod....by itself?

    A few months ago, I removed and rebuilt the rear section of my transfer case. Recently, I shifted my vehicle to low range, and the center diff actuator refused to shift and lock the transfer case. I have a center diff switch, and in high range and low range, the actuator will shift properly when...

    Cleaning out inside of head lamps

    So, before I learned of the Depo lights, my Lexus came to my ownership with cracked and chipped glass and I spent mega bucks and bought brand new Lexus/Toyota housings. I wheel mine fairly regularly and after hood deep mud a few times, they are filing up with water and mud. Is there any common...

    Dreaded P0401 EGR on...and off...and on...and off...

    A year or so after head gasket replacement, and getting the head cleaned and having the EGR port cleaned out, my Lexus finally turned on the 'ol pop the hood and make sure the engine is still there' light. Scanner shows Insufficient EGR flow, but the truck runs fine so I ignored it for a week...

    96 LX transfer case rear seal

    The rear output seal on my LX decided to start spraying gear lube on the muffler.....so I figure I will treat it right and give it the boot. I have a copy of the service manual, but I was hoping for some personal tips or tricks from anyone that has opened up one of these units. Any special...

    Theft proof or at least idiot resistant

    My 96 LX currently has a unmolested ARB bumper on the front, and it used to have a 20 inch dual row light bar bolted to custom brackets under the top bar. This weekend someone wanted it more than me..... Now I have an ARB with no light bar, and before I donate another bar to some crackhead or...

    New Shoes!!!!

    I know, the tire threads have been beaten to death, I just wanted to share my tire experience in hopes it might save someone else the headache. I (like so many others) wanted to go bigger, so I went from stock to 285s, and about 8 months later switched to 315s. I have always had great luck with...
