    I now have Bluetooth Audio Streaming and Handsfree Calling on my Stock Radio

    I have BT audio streaming and it sounds fine. You aren't thinking of FM transmitters are you? They can be very low quality.

    wife ran out of gas, now wont start????

    One gallon should be plenty. Are you sure it ran out of gas, or did it just happen to break down when it was close to empty?

    how much stiffer will the ride be after a torsion lift?

    You are correct. The spring rate varies depending on the force applied to it. A torsion bar sitting on the shed floor has a zero spring rate. Newtonian law state that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. So in theory (i havent tested it ;) )if you apply 200 foot pounds of...

    DO NOT use an alloy bar if you want protection from animal collisions. Aluminium will crumple with very little force I wouldn't rely on the ahc alone to compensate for added weight. THe front end is a torsion bar, so you can increase the spring rate simply by winding it up. The rear may be able...

    LC feels like on 4LOW

    It sounds like the transmission. I would start by checking the filter isn't blocked creating pressure problems. Otherwise it's not going to be a cheap fix.

    Front end grinding sound

    Did they check the bearings for wear? Loose bearings don't make much noise, but worn/dry bearings get quite a grumble. If it's 200k miles on original bearings (quite possible) then it could just be coincidence, and not accident related.

    CRAP! - 2002 Tranny Just bit the dust on Vacation I think... HELP!

    The a343 is not strong enough for a full size landcruiser. No Australian spec 100 or 80 had it. Now you know how Australian base model 105 diesel owners feel when their manual transmissions break ;)

    Air Bags or Heavy OME Springs - not a DD

    Ride harshness is often attributed to the shock absorber. A HD spring unloaded shouldn't be harsh, but it can definitely be bouncy. In australia, nearly all after market shock absorbers are "Heavy duty". Probably to justify the price. Although they may be fine with a seriously loaded up truck...

    Can you find out the color based on the VIN?

    I think the compliance plate with the vin on it, in the engine bay also has a colour and trim code. That will tell you. Sometimes the police will have access to the colour of a car, you could always ring them up ;)

    Anyone tow a FJ40 behind a 100 Series?

    mian thing is to make sure you have the 40 well balanced on the trailer. too much weight on the drawbar and it will handle pretty s***. too much weight on the back half of the trailer and it will be just as bad (if not worse) as for towing it's not that hard. You do need to be a little more...

    Will the 5.7 fit in a 100?

    better take the 5.7 it will get you the cheese burger quicker. no one in australia buy's diesels for their speed. they are bought for their economy, reliability, and towing performance. We all know diesels are slow. if you really need to get to 100 1.4 seconds quicker, you probably have a...
