fire

Greetings My brother and I have this channel for reviewing cars and camping/outdoor gear. I have some content on here with my LX as well. Most recent video is a comparison of the new Ignik models.

About a month ago our radio and rear camera stopped working. I was going to try and get to it this winter but it wasn't a huge deal to us. I started the GX 470 and was going to take some items to the dump from a house we are clearing out. I think I opened the backdoor twice while it was...

Some background: 2002 Land Cruiser 100 Series 250K Miles Check Engine light came on about 500 miles ago; I haven't had any issues so I haven't treated it like an emergency, but I do have a service appointment to get it resolved in early January 2024. This is the first winter I've owned the...

I have a 1997 80 series, 298K but 98K on a Robbie rebuilt motor. I take pretty good care of it even those I am a .5 banana mechanic. My rear wiper and my rear defrost have stopped working. In the rubber housing that goes from the head liner through the rear gate, I can move it around and see...

Hey mud, Just wanted to start out this thread with a bit of "HOLY SH*T". Pulled into the driveway last night and my 1985 fj60 was on fire. I quickly called 911 and my local volunteer fire dept. crew came quickly and put it out. It looks as though the battery was the culprit, and the battery...

Cal Fire has put out an informational memo 23-002 regarding several Element models, 50 and 100. May be of interest to those that have said models.

The subject line says it all. My coworker was revving it and flames shot out, I now realize that's not the most ideal thing to have happen. Could I have burnt a valve, or caused any other issues? Since I recently diagnosed the intake leak im now thinking its not as cool.... lol! Newly rebuilt...

I have a new H3R Performance Fire Extinguisher Seat Mount (SM01BK) for sale. I installed it on a Saturday afternoon on my 200, and uninstalled it that evening. Why? It is an awesome mount, but my wife and her short legs don’t get along with it in the passenger seat. So it has to go, and I need...

So my cruiser has this problem. Air comes through the rubber boot around the steering column. I put a light behind it so you can see. This air is hot and blows right onto my lap. Not good. Anyone have a recommendation on how to fix this without replacing it? It’s not torn and seems in good shape.

A new lightening caused fire has grown to 2000 acres as of yesterday. It is located northeast of Cuba NM, north of hwy 126, in the Jemez mountains. In the San Pedro Peaks Wilderness area, north of FR 70. . Fire crews and air support are in this area. FYI if you are in this area of the Jemez...

The fire cannot safetly be extinguished and the only safe way is going to be to sink the ship or let it drift like a ghost ship until the hull crumples and it sinks itself. There is reportedly around 500 EV's from various makers on board the vessel. First vessel to have this occur was the...

Whilst working on my 1994 HDJ80 connecting a new accessory to an additional fuse I fitted some years ago, I noticed the flasher unit looked a little out of shape. Removing the unit I found the casing had a hole in it! Given the area in the right hand footwell is full of wiring and other relays...

@NookShneer left his rig in my driveway and to recoup the costs of my own rig's needs I need to unload this fast before he comes back to get it. Will let go for super cheap. Detailed build thread here. FitzJ60 1983 FJ60 Build Lots of great and rare parts. Great exterior patina from serious off...

Thought some might appreciate this cool ex fire service troopy up for Auction. Pity it is in Australia! pickles.com.au/trucks/item/-/details/CP-08-79--Toyota--Landcruiser--FJ45--Troop-Carrier--3-Seats--2-Doors/402284088

Okay so I changed the oil and filter, new fuel filter, new pcv valve, flushed fuel lines, cleaned fuel tank, carb rebuild(mark), new plugs and wires, dropped MMO down the cylinders and rotated the engine manually. 85' FJ60 parked 13 years ago in a garage 6-12 months after a rebuild. A friend...

Hey guys, I'd like to get the concensus of the more experienced.. I can get this for free but i'd like to know if it's worth rebuilding or spending money (that I don't have)... It's a Jayco Summit and the owner said he had brake issues on the road and caught on fire. Damage on the axle and...

I have a surplus un-mounted fire extinguisher mount from the group buy that happened a few years ago: Official: GB: Quick Release Fire Extinguisher Mount $45 net to me by PayPal, buyer pays shipping from SoCal/90039.

Hey Guys, new member to this great forum. I have a 93 80 series and have been having an odd misfire-ish type of an issue, wondering if anyone has experienced something similar, I have searched high and low and found many useful tips but without any resolve. So on a cold start the truck idles...

Stick with me. This might be a bit circuitous, but I'll get there. Since I bought this truck I've been chasing electrical gremlins. There seem to be three of them and every time I fix one thing the gremlin takes up residence someplace else. For instance, my horn, cigarette lighter plug, and...
