    Land Cruiser Heritage Parts Project

    Interesting thread! I'd be up for drivers seat track motor assemblies. And a new charcoal canister. I have a friend in Osaka and was lucky enough to get a couple of visors and head lamps before they were gone.

    1FZ-FE Fuel Economy

    I get 13 to 16 mpg pretty consistently. I dont weigh as much as you do. Also, dont drive much over 70 mph. I did the cylinder head job and rebuilt injectors 2 years ago. Installed new O2 sensors a few years ago. Interesting that your truck has no O2 sensors. So you might make sure your...

    New Engine: Which Parts to Buy / Reuse?

    Timing chain, tensioner and guides. New injectors if you can afford them. Or send yours to RC Engineering to get rebuilt. Fuel filter. Main Engine harness or insepect yours thoroughly and make necessary repairs.

    Wow! Looks fantastic! How many miles? You'll want to get some frame protection when you get it back east.

    Pulling engine - condenser question

    I cant seem to find my pictures of when I pulled the engine from my 95 a couple of years ago. I did not seperate the condensor. I pulled the hood and was able to lift it high enough to clear the condenser. I think I was able to move it downward enough to clear. The garage I have is a 2 story...

    5 Knuckle Jobs Later... Still Leaking

    So if everything was fine before you did the job, the housing is probably fine. I would maybe mic the diameter of the new axles vs your originals. Axle fluid is getting past the seal. Have you tried going back to your original Birfs? Also, are both sides leaking at the same rate?

    What did Toyota get right with the 80 series frame?

    The frame on my 95 80 is still like new! The desert air sure helps!

    Engine rattling noise at light throttle, any ideas

    Mine also did the same thing before I did the head gasket. Valve stem seals were leaking and lots of carbon on the pistons. Noise went away after the job was completed. I had the injectors rebuilt at RC engineering. Truck currently has 230k and runs perfect!

    help me spend my money - 80 or gx

    Build both! I put a mild lift and 265 65 BFG KO2s on my 19 GX. Increased my carrying capacity a little as I occasionally tow a Casita RV trailer. I did sacrifice a little bit of ride quality but it's still a really nice truck on road trips.

    If I was to start all over again, I would...

    The speedo is spot on now. I did change the speedo gear to match the Tcase gears and tire size. I don't carry a lot of weight. I also did the cylinder head so everything associated with that job was replaced including fuel injectors, vacuum hoses etc. Mileage varies with elevation, wind etc...

    Since my last post on this thread 3 years ago, I've added WK sliders, front ARB bumper, cylinder head job with new OE engine harness, upgraded to 285 BFG KO2s, 7 pin mod and under driven Tcase gears. Just drove it back to NM from our place in Vegas and still gets 15 to 17 mpg. I've been...
