    FJ80 Free Wheel Hub Without Part-Time 2WD

    Hello all, first time LC owner here, but a long time Yota fan. I have a '91 LC with the all-time AWD, and have been weighing options on locking diffs for it. I'll be frank, my budget can't justify options like a $900+ Air Locker for the front, and I have had excellent results with both Aussie...

    Another Aussie Locker Install 1993 FZJ80

    Heya, So, I know this post is pushing a solid 9 years old now, but I don't know if this question ever got answered for you, but as someone who has ran front/rear lunchbox lockers I thought I could give a more in-depth answer. The short of it is front/rear lunchbox lockers can absolutely work...

    1980 Yota Pi(cj)up

    Believe it or not, I've put close to 500 miles on it since then. Its beauty is on the inside, not the outside, to be sure. I daily drive between 40 and 50 miles to work 5 days a week. Not a whole lot of time to get work done on it, though.

    Victory! The (ONLY) local wrecker just happens to have a 1980 long bed, with intact doors, bed, front fenders, dash, and wiring harness. I asked him how much straight up if I did all the work myself. $250 for everything!! I even negotiated bringing in my old chopped up parts to give back in...

    1980 Yota Pi(cj)up

    The goal is for something ultra-cool under the hood. Also, after some digging, and stripping the entire passenger side of the bed I've decided. It's time for a new bed. The bondo patch job between the sausage bumper and the bed didn't seal very well, and the rust was starting to creep into...

    Yes, yes they are. The world may never know.

    If there is a hell, the walls are lined with Rhino Lining. Let this be a PSA for anyone considering coating their truck in it, it's like a tattoo. You better be damn sure it's what you want, because going back on your choice is absurdly difficult.

    That's good to know, I'll probably add some trusses to them for some extra oomph when I go to do 63" chevy rears and the RUF swap.

    1980 Yota Pi(cj)up

    Here's what the other side looks like, though, almost as if they intentionally punched holes there so they could clear the adjustment nuts? Or, more likely just overlooked the height of the shocks.

    1980 Yota Pi(cj)up

    Gotta admire the nice hack welding job. Bit confused, was this done so as to put in a longer shock, but retain stock ride height? Or did they break off the strut mount? Probably the newest two things on this truck, a nice W55 5 Speed and 1-B T-Case combo. Jesus take the wheel, this cab...

    First of two major issues: Leaky Accelerator Pump Diaphragm. $12 online, quick and easy fix, no more leaking fuel or sputtering on gear changes! Also note the lack of electric choke for now, definitely need to get that back on once it starts cooling down more. Second, and harder, of the two...

    Can I get a Trophy? Like a Razzi for aborted trucks?

    1980 Yota Pi(cj)up

    I'd be lying if I said the grille hasn't grown on me. It definitely draws some comments. Local wrecker has a few Gen 1 Pickups in there, gonna grab a new fuse box from one, new doors, probably, and a set of front fenders. If he'll let me get in there with the cutting wheel, I'll come out with...

    1980 Yota Pi(cj)up

    So, the 1st Gen purists here might want to stop reading, as this is borderline gore for them. I've been searching for a super cheap, running 1st Gen pickup for some time, wanting that factory 4x4 8" solid axle goodness, and a decent platform to turn into a blown SBC minitruck monster. Since I've...

    Readers Rides, for pics and specs on your Toy(s).

    Update on the old girl, finally put a WRX STI Top mount and matching scoop on her, and a little fender and rust trimming for added clearance. The tires pictured are 36x12.5 TSL SX's. Flares to cover them are a work in progress.

    Gen 2 Surf Rear Window Relay Bypass

    Hey Guys! This thread might get vilified by some, but for others it might be a godsend, but I wanted to do a quick and simple write-up on how to completely bypass the dreaded rear window relay on the Surfs. -WARNING, WHEN WORKING WITH ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS, DISCONNECT YOUR BATTERIES TO KEEP...

    A343F Tranny with 3VZFE Transfer case

    Will it work? Can't be too hard to rearrange the wiring, splice together the sensor for my 4WD light, delete the 4X4 ECU, maybe trim the floor a bit to fit the new shift lever. I would much prefer the all mechanical chain driven transfer from the V6 Surfs to the electrical complications in the...

    LN130 Transfer Motor issue (Won't Engage 4WD)

    You can see the shaft piece that was broken, which prevented the shaft from turning, some shots of the actuator itself, and my Transmission ID.
