Like the title says... do the washers from the OME nitro charger shocks fit over the OEM shocks? I searched but couldn’t find any info about this. It’s an LX470 with AHC deleted (OME 865 springs and stock LC torsion bars) so I don’t have the LC washers/retainers. I’d like to try the OEM shocks...
I have a 1996 HDJ80-GNMEX (12 valve 1HDT). The tach has been acting up for some time now. It would drop to zero or a couple of hundred rpm. If I tap the cluster with my finger, it would return to normal but would drop again after some time, ruling out a problem with the tach wiring from the...
Hey guys I’m trying to install an exhaust system on my HDJ80. Ran into a couple of problems. First, one of the 14mm bolts holding the down pipe bracket to the engine won’t come off. It’s pretty tight so there is now way to use a socket wrench. I’ve already used a flare nut wrench, still won’t...
I had somebody ask me in another thread how I converted my turn signals to DRL/turn signals. So here it goes. Not really a step by step but just a post with the diagram and stuff needed. Please note that we are on a lockdown here in Manila due to COVID-19 so I had to make do with what I already...
Has anybody installed an oil temperature gauge on a 1HDT? If so, where did you install the sensor and what temps are you getting? I installed the temp sensor on the factory oil pressure sender location using a tee. After a 30 minute drive, oil temp peaked at only 68 degrees Celcius. Seems low to...
Looking for factory roof rails and crossbars for my 2002 LX470. Either LX470 or LC version. Preferably with the black trim strips too if possible, shipped to 91790. Thanks
I have the SmartTap flasher relay on my GT86 and 200 and I love it! When I found out the 100 uses the same relay, I had to get one for it as well. It prevents hyper flashing when using LED bulbs, adds one touch signalling (adjustable), has cool hazard and strobe options and on certain cars, adds...
My condenser fan won’t turn on for some reason. Fan motor itself is okay, as well as the relay. If I connect +12v to the red/black wire of the pressure switch connector, it activates the relay and turns the condenser fan on. If I disconnect the pressure switch, the AC compressor will turn off...
I tried searching but couldn’t find anything. In the 80 you can unplug the 4 low position switch on the transfer case, or do the pin 7 mod. Anybody know how to do it in the 200?
So there’s a lot of play in the steering wheel of my newly-acquired ‘02 LX470, to the point that it causes the VSC to kick in at curved roads. With the car lifted, there is a lot of play when wiggling the wheel in the 3 and 9 o’clock positions. I already bought new inner and outer tie rods (555)...
Has anyone fitted aftermarket gauges? I’d like to see where you guys mounted them. I did a search but came up empty. I’d like to precisely monitor coolant temperature. My GEN spec ‘02 LX470 does not support the standard OBD protocol so I have no choice but to install an aftermarket gauge. I’ve...
Hey guys I need help figuring out the connections on the radio connectors on my ‘02 LX470. According to Toyodiy it is a GEN spec but I believe it was imported from the Middle East because it has some Arabic writing on the side mirrors and on a plaque in the door jamb. The radio label says it’s...
Hey guys! Ever since my brother bought a 100 series earlier this year, I have been on the lookout for one. I originally wanted a 5 speed manual 1HDT like his HDJ100 as I have been extremely happy with the same engine combo in my 80 but the prices for those have started to go up over here. I...
Hey guys I just retrofitted the undercarriage spare tire holder on my 80 with factory tailgate-mounted spare. I installed new wheels and tires (set of 5) so I decided I might as well use the original spare and mount it underneath. Anybody know where this part goes and what it’s purpose is?
By...
Lately I noticed that the gas station pump keeps shutting off early when filling my HDJ80. It’s not a specific pump as I’ve filled up in different stations all with the same result. Usually it stops a couple of ticks below full, sometimes 1/8 below full, but when I filled up yesterday it shut...
Hey guys, I just put on a new set of BF Goodrich KO2 LT285/75/16 116/113R load range C on my 80. Does anybody know the recommended cold tire pressure for use in an 80? It says on the sidewall max load of 2755 lbs @ 50 psi cold. I previously had Cooper Discoverer STT load range D LT285/75/16 and...
Hey guys, I'm adding a second battery to my HDJ80 to lessen the load on the main battery during winching. My question is, does anybody know how the negative cable is routed from the battery to the ground point in the engine? It should be grounded on the same point as the main battery, correct...
To those with aftermarket wheels using conical lug nuts, how many turns does it take before the lug nut stops when turning by hand? I only have 5 turns in the front and around 7 and a half turns in the rear. Doesn't seem to be enough thread engagement in the front. It also doesn't look like an...
