    Do not buy Marlin Crawler Inner Axle Seals...

    Over 40,000 miles on my first 80 series with no issues with the Marlins. And the current truck has over 50,000 with no issues yet on the Marlins. This debate will rage back and forth I figure, but for me the Marlins have worked great thus far. Hopefully haven't jinxed myself for when the front...

    Small rant. It finally happened

    A happy wife, is a happy life. Fix HG, so it won't have issue when you trade it and get a 100 series.

    The Proper Way of Windshield Chrome Trim Install?

    When I did auto glass we used a 'hook tool' for putting in metal strip into rubber gasket as the previous pic showed. This is what the 60 series windshields were like in the North American market. The link below shows a hook tool. http://www.wgsonline.com/glass/201-10540.html A proper...

    EGR VSV Success on my LX450 (fj80)

    This is exactly what I just did a few days ago and it only cost the Amazon price. It appears to be a better place than the original -at least easier to get to if ever need to again.

    Head Gasket Time

    Correct me if I am wrong, but I was under the impression that Larry Miller Co. owns both American Toyota (CDan) and Proffitt's Cruisers (Onur). And to keep this tech, parts can be had from either of them and also Lowe Toyota, amongst other venders here on MUD.

    Starting issue - Won't start unless I mess with the steering wheel

    The "jiggle" is just if the steering wheel appears to be locked in position. If that is the case then you cannot turn the ignition key.

    I just came from the powdercoaters (used Santex Black) with my aluminum roof rack designed for my RTT. Last summer the tent was placed on 4 Yakima bars as the first pic shows.

    New and full of questions!

    Welcome to the LC 80 sickness! Sounds like you've done a bunch of work since you bought the truck. As for your questions: 1. I don't know much about so won't comment 2. Still don't know much about this but have a very little amount of experience. Do you have 15" or 16" wheels? If you have...
