I'll be digging through the 250,000 mi transmission soon and it will be an opportunity to consider any gearing change "while I'm in there"
I am running 35's (which are actually 34.3"OD) and while a bit under powered off the line or trying to pass - which I don't really care, and which could very...
Getting just an occasional click at full left lock low,speed
Next 1,000 mi? 500? 50? Park it til done?
About 8 mo into going through this new to me 256,000 leaking surging white fang, so far all fluids, new 3 core, all coolant hoses, thermostat, oil pump gasket, heater valve, valve cover...
someone did an awesome job of detailing their cooler line fabrication which I did not bookmark like a dummy
I think it is in the middle of a build hence search not helping
Does anyone recall this writeup?
Last step left in a big "while you're there" that began with addressing a leaking radiator...
I’m reluctantly accepting the fact that my steering wheel is beyond repair on my 96 oak, it seems due to missing areas of the rubber over the metal frame. I’m surprised but my local vintage restoration shop as well as Craft Customs all say no can do.
Looking for suggestions in sourcing a...
WTH am I doing wrong????
Baselining a recent purchase, 96 FZJ. One of the alt belts pushed itself to the top of the list by imploding during a ujoint replacement test drive. Limped 5 blocks home but had steam when I went up the driveway. So we will see what mystery that leaves after it is...
Going to address the front end leaks via the front main and oil pump gasket and it makes sense to change out the 250k fan clutch at the same time
I have a new OEM ordered but am seeking opinions on whether the blue hub is worth the change
And if so, where do you purchase one?
Live in the...
Looking at a 96 with 245k mi, owned by a high school age kid with an attentive dad the last 5y, looks like some things have just been repaired when they broke (brake line leak, power steering leak, etc). I come before this esteemed group with 2 broad questions -
- what should have timed...
After a long line of LCs (6) including a beloved 60 I drive daily, Mr. Toyota has forced my hand into the purchase of a 21 200, didn't really want to do it at this moment but it was now or never if you want to own all the dents and scratches yourself.
The market contracted rapidly and...
I picked these up as used surplus, they have “fj60” written on them.
Does anyone know who manufactures these? I thought the unique design of one tri y bank might look familiar to someone
thanks
I see a fair amount of discussion on "62 mirrors" and "Aussie mirrors" which implies there must also be "60 mirrors" - and then I see some w these aluminum tripod arrangement mirrors like they had on 80s Ford trucks -
Can someone describe the difference, with pics if possible?
thanks -
I am completing my OME install, have tried on the new 16" steelies and the 285/55 Cooper Discoverer AT3s - all of which I love - but I can see the future.
The tires are wide, the steel wheels plus the big tires are markedly more mass, and the truck will sit a solid 4" taller than before...
1. A lot of advocacy for Toyota's coolants; why? What are the advantages as compared to some of the gen 4 pH neutral coolants?
2. search shows "red" is full strength; "pink" half strength; is this accurate? what temps are guiding which choice?
3. Other recommendations before I flush and...
my trim is in great condition, hate to go ruining by sanding and painting black- not to mention I'm just too damn lazy -
16 x 8 pro comps are calling me, are just black wheels with stock chrome and trim goofball?
any pics of such rigs?

Car pulled out in front of me from a side road last pm. I barely had time to hit the brakes before I hit them at near 70 mph. My truck hit hard, bounced and spun 180. In about 10 feet I went from 70 to 0. I saw it coming although didn't believe she was actually pulling out, and feared for my...
I remember seeing a shop on the east side of the road south of Austin, going to be in the area this weekend - does anyone know the place and the name?
Thanks
Very unaccustomed to this from LC's -
I've got a squeak center dash, near the windshield but sounds deep in the dash; intermittent, there some days and some temps and not the next. It seems to get better if I push on the center arch of the dash over the nav unit back and up.
I've put up...
A little lift, not a little question -
I'm fitting just a little larger tire, 33"; and want to avoid rub so will use torsion bar adjustment for about 1" up front. Questions are:
1. If I'm raising the front an inch; do I need a diff drop? at what increase does the risk for CV leak...
by asking for advice on engine oil for a 2F with 160K mi, running well, coupla main seal leaks like any other 2F. What is your favorite and why?
yeah, did a search, tried a couple of different angles and terms, got a ton of nonspecific references so dammit shoot me, I want to hear recent...
