    Project "Sparkles"-1997 LX450 Gen V 6.2 Swap

    Problem is, that transmission is going to expect somewhere between 3.23 - 3.4 running on 35’s to match what it was engineered for, correct? Least that is what Mitch was showing in his vid and it makes sense. Stock specs of a ZR2 Silverado Bison with the 6.2/10 combo and 275/70R18 comes with...

    Project "Sparkles"-1997 LX450 Gen V 6.2 Swap

    Curious, what are you planning to run for gears? Watched a SwapTime YT vid yesterday that has me a bit concerned about the gear ratios and the 10/8 speeds. I know my 4.88’s will need to go and I don’t want to run larger than 35’s for a daily. Anyone have an idea on what the lowest numeric gear...

    Steering Wheel Refurbishment

    Craft Customs did my LX450 wheel about 9 years ago. Had them add the faux wood sections to match the rest of the interior. Looked great for about 6-7 years, and then the leather started to peel the outer died layer off, so it is black now at the 10-2 positions. The lower faux wood section as a...

    Project "Sparkles"-1997 LX450 Gen V 6.2 Swap

    Congrats on the startup! So you mentioned DeatschWerks for the fuel pump early on, what is it that you used? Seemed to imply it was an in tank pump… Brief search of their site didn’t seem to indicate so.

    Project "Sparkles"-1997 LX450 Gen V 6.2 Swap

    Did you talk to Torfab about the fitment issue, or you’re just on to headers as the fix? Headers will increase under hood temps too won’t they?

    Dobinson MRR Shock Issues

    I recently put these on my 450, I’ll have to look at the rears, but in that pic of the front resi, did you modify the bracket per the instructions and reposition the mounting hole? I’m pretty sure they are supposed to go on the top of the coil tower, least that is what I’ve done. Looking at...

    Project "Sparkles"-1997 LX450 Gen V 6.2 Swap

    How hot does it get in your part of Texas? I’m on the fence yet on any LS/LT swap here in AZ as I know others have struggled with keeping engine temps in check here. The DI aspect of an LT concerns me some too, but the Torfab solution is very tempting…

    Heated seat wiring question?

    Sorry, but the heat kit came with the new leather seat covers done way by the infamous Shane, (Atlas1x,MetricTLC) back in like 2013-14. I have no idea now who made them. Not sure I'd waste money on something from Amazon. It's a fair amount of work, just to have cheap stuff fail shortly down the...

    Heated seat wiring question?

    So the heat pad kits switch combines the top and bottom pad in parallel so they both see 12v, this is ‘Hi’. For low, the switch combines the two pads in series, thus halving the voltage, ’Low’. I paralleled the pads. I also used a relay, as I’m not sure the factory Toyota switches can handle...

    Heated seat wiring question?

    I used a couple horizontal RX switches, with relays, to run my seats on hi. As a prior poster noted, I turn them on to get my buns toasty and then turn them off.

    Ron Davis vrs TOYOTA OEM radiator

    A rad has nothing to do with HVAC performance, but ok. OEM has always worked perfectly fine here in AZ on my 80…

    $1700 to change power steering pump and fix oil pan leaks.....does that sound about right?

    ^ This. You can tell that is probably the OEM breather hose. Same will probably apply to the rear as well…

    I give up! P/N for 14v 1.4 Watt HVAC Bulbs please!

    I’ve searched here, online Toyota parts diagrams, the ‘definitive LED’ list, I can’t seem to find the part numbers for the three green condom bulbs in the HVAC control unit (auto unit in this case, LX450). I found the part number for the three screws that hold it into the bezel, but nope, I...

    How to Flat tow your 80 series... safely.

    Post 107 in this thread. One note I'd like to add, make sure the towbar is long enough. I've had to put in a 8" extension for the receiver on. Each RV is different, and mine happens to not only have a tight (for 40') turning radius, but the hitch is somewhat inset as compared to the rear cap.

    How to Flat tow your 80 series... safely.

    With a 6k hitch, I'd be more worried about how well the RV is going to be able to pull the 80, unless it is a one time event. Many variables involved of course and I'm no Safty Sally. Just might not be real fun on a regular basis. Is this a class C, like a Ford F3-450 chassis? Regardless, just...

    Fluid coming from knuckle

    so, assuming you have both worn out BIRFs and a groove in the axle shaft(s), what is the best route to go? OEM or aftermarket?
