From what I can gather, the 74 will line up with all the frame mounts. I gather the holes will also line up with my oem seat brackets, tranny cover, roll bar. Is that correct? The dash will be a little different as it doesn't have the seatbelt light and the defrost vent holes on each side...

To start I have looked at the sticky of shops recommended for 70 series owners. I know there is a shop in LA and Stockton I can go to. I got rear ended, and while it totaled the 4runner behind me, I came out still driveable. A pushed in rear door, a bend in my rear crossmember and probably...

Looking for advice on this runaway corrosion on the frame. It’s the left side rear near the spring. It looks like one of the pre-drilled holes got carried away and this was never addressed. Strange thing is there is zero body rust and the paint is 9/10 for a 2002. If I can find a body shop...

Did a number on my poor rig. Wondering if I should pull as many parts and replace with stock before insurance picks it up. I’m guessing they will want to total the poor girl. Any suggestions on the best course of action with insurance? There’s a number of nice bits that I could pull. WAT...

I noticed the Landcruiser was a little wandery when I drove it this morning. When I got in it after work, and took a turn out of a parking lot, I heard a big snap. And then couldn't steer. I had it towed to a Toyota dealer in rural VT. Looking to see if all the experts on here had any...

Sunday after Thanksgiving 2022 I took Beast Mode (I named it first Elon) up the mountain to cut down a Christmas tree. It was awesome. On the way up there, buried in deep snow was a rock who hates front axles. I proceeded to hit it HARD. See story here: HERE As I found out, Locking diffs are...
