So I have a kzn185 here in the US and had a few questions. I guess the first question is which oil is everyone running in their Toyota diesels? I live in Kansas city and the fluctuations in Temps has me running 5-40. But it's not like Australia where I can get penrite oil anywhere. I've been...
Hey guys. It's been a very long time since I had a Toyota, but I finally bought one again. That blurple hilux surf you've probably seen around is mine. I ordered a set of 4x innovations sliders, but the guy I found to weld it up isn't meeting any timelines or anything so I was wondering if...
Hello everyone! I used to own a 40th fzj80 until I sold it to another member in 2017. Well I am getting back into LCs and am in the process of buying a bj70. I was wondering if anyone in the area had any experience with them. Also, I was wondering if I could set up a wrenching day or something...
I am in the process buying a 1990 BJ70 with a 3b engine. I have seen video of it running and am aware of all its quirks at this point. The only one that I am wondering if I could fix before I road trip it home is the gauge cluster. The voltage and rpms work. But the speedo and temp gauges do...
I have a 1997 locked 40th anniversary edition for sale. It has 163k miles. Car is rebuilt title due to being stolen in 1999. It was bought by a shop owner that year and stayed as his family car until I bought it in 2011. I have provided picture of what the car looked like before his repair.
As...
Putting out a feeler for my LC. I live in Midtown and work in gardner so it just doesn't make sense anymore since I am driving so far every day. Will need some attention, though most is cosmetic. I have a 4x4labs front bumper. 3.5 OME lift with FOR shocks. Shifts smoothly. Very small oil leak in...
I just bought a lightly used MM 9000lb winch and I thought I had found a thread before with images where to route the lines but I seemed to have lost it and can't find it again with all my searching. Can anyone show me how the routed their lines to the PS pump please? I appreciate it.
Pretty much as the title says. Looking for a rust free, damage free upper tailgate for a sage 40th anniversary edition. Located in Kansas City, obviously if you are not in the area you need to be willing to ship. Please let me know if you have this part!. I do not need all the trim that goes...
This one had me scratching my head for a while. I have a 1997 FZJ80 LC with 158k miles. Today I had a portion of exhaust rewelded because I broke the studs on the O2 sensor bung while replacing the O2 sensor. When I asked the guys to clear the code for the bad O2 sensor they said there was also...
Hi guys and gals. So I have a bit of of a weird issue going on. Last weekend while I was pulling some parts from a junkyard my AC suddenly decided to stop working. On the drive to the yard it was blowing cold and it felt great. As soon as I started it up and went back home, the AC was just no...
I have a 1997 80 series and I have what seems to be a very slow oil leak. I have no idea on the source so I was hoping someone could tell from the picture rather than me having to teak it apart and guess. Thanks for the help in advance
I really could use some help guys. Someone tried to steal my 80 series (for the second time) and my locksmith got my old ignition out but the new ignition isnt starting the car. Doesn't feel like its getting fully seated in there. I am in the downtown area so anyone that can help me I could...
Hey guys, IIRC Atomic Fabworks is no more so is there any other good, fair metal fab shop in the KC area? I live in the Crossroads so I am pretty much straight in the center of the city. Need to get a front bumper done and possibly sliders.
So I have pretty much sold my Datsun 510 so I have some extra cash I can spend on the LC. Right now it is a 97 with 155k miles, elockers, OME heavy lift springs with FOR shocks. I currently don't have a front bumper at all so that probably is a must. What would you recommend for upgrades if you...
Someone tried to break into my land cruiser. Does anyone know of a parts car in the area? Broke my sliding rear glass and fxxxed up my dash and ignition. Please help me out.
I'm designing my own rear bumper and I wanted to do dual tire carriers. However, I am going to be running 37 inch military tires and I wasn't sure if they would be too big or not. I've done a search on bumpers that support dual tires but I have not seen any as large as I am planning. The ones I...
I have a set of stock 5 spoke FZJ wheels. They had a bit of oxidation so I cleaned them off with a wire wheel and rattlecanned them flat black. No rash or anything. I haven't used them in a little over a year and they are just taking up space in my garage. They have the stock sized tires on them...
I think I am going to start a second version of my front bumper so I am putting out a feeler for my current bumper. I can text pictures to those that are interested. It is very similar to the viper bumper. Very sturdy and looks good as well. Text (913)530-4646 if you're interested.
This is a bit of a long shot. Several years ago when I was building my custom bumper I ran across a picture of a tube bumper that I knew instantly I would want to do for my second generation bumper. It was a full tube bumper with a stinger and had hitch receivers right where the frame ends on...
