fix

I'm trolling for ideas. I've narrowed down my exhaust rattle to the baffles in the muffler coming loose. It's about 18 months old and non-OEM. So far I have used percussive maintenance and crimped them in place by crushing the outer skin around them with a ball-peen hammer. But that's not...

Hey all, anyone have experience fixing body rust or rust in this specific area and can help walk me through how I can repair this? I have a welder and I did a simple repair of some rust in this area already with some sheet metal and some screws/silicone to seal up the opening into the body...

I've had my 97 LX450 for a little over a year now, and like many with lifted 80's, there's been an issue with driveline vibrations at highway speeds. It's not really a case of vibes on deceleration. The vibes start at 2800 RPM's and get worse as RPM's increase. The vibes get particularly bad...

Quick backstory. Bought this cruiser just under a year ago. Overall very clean but I have been slowly baselining things. About a month ago I replaced PCV, all vacuum hoses and cleaned throttle body and MAF sensor. Replaced fuel filter, checked torque on spark plugs, recently replaced 2 coils...

Howdy, I Just completed this fix and the forward/reverse of the passenger seat is still inoperable. I was super careful, followed the video, actually watched 3 difference vids before starting. There is *no sound whatsoever* when the switch is engaged. Even if I installed the gears...

I’ll be replacing my rear brake pads, rotors, and parking brake shoes later this month so I’m looking for advice on tools and techniques to make it easier for someone who hasn’t done this in close to 20 years and the last time I messed with brake shoes was on a 62 Chevy pickup. I’ll be picking...

Hello everyone, First, apologies for the terrible pics but you get the idea. After dealing with no rear dome light working with the doors and hatch for a couple years now I finally dug in and started tracing wires, again. Bottom line, at the bottom of both b pillars there is multiple terrible...

Has anyone had any luck permanently disabling the evap canister sensor on their 200? I am in the process of fixing all the issues with my truck before selling it, and this is the last thing I am down to. Trying to determine if there is an easy way to fix engine code it throws (which prevents...

Hi all, Wanted some advice on what the best possible fix for a rusted vacuum connection that broke would be? The vacuum line can't connect anymore because the nipple portion has rusted and broken off. Any ideas?

A while back I read a post where someone had a carb fan fix using off the shelf parts to replace the carb fan sensor and thermostat. I purchased the parts and stowed them in a box for "later". Now that I want to install them I can't find the post. Tried searching any carb fan posts I could find...

So I'm knee deep in my rig refresh project and pulling the radiator, and got looking at my now disconnected transmission lines. Wait, WTF? Someone before me has got the ATF fluid running from the transmission into the radiator, then out of the radiator and into the power steering system, through...

Hello All, recently discovered rodent attack under the hood. So far, they managed to damage the engine cover (just the foam) and firewall insulator. I can probably get the new engine cover.. but wonder what to do with the firewall insulator? Is there patching available to help firewall insulator...

I say intermittently but really it is hardly ever. Wondering if anyone has experienced this and know the fix before I go taking stuff apart?

I have an opportunity to purchase this cruiser and wonder if it’s worth taking on. Not sure what it’s worth or what to pay. It’s rough, doesn’t run, paints bad, some rear body damage and needs lots of tlc. Why do you think? 1997 triple locked

So I got a sweet 84 Fj-60 last Summer. Instantly fell in love and she drove great for a year with very minor problems. When I got her she was leaking a decent bit a oil though and she's only got worse. On a really hot day this summer started smoking and died on my way home. Started up fine once...

Note: This will only work if your wiper fluid pump is working so yeah. So the washer sprayers mounted on the car hood crapped out some years back. Each spray mount (there are 2 spray mounts) has 2 holes that jet out water onto the windshield. 3 out of the 4 holes were clogged with idk what and...

Not the most mechanically minded but I have a leak in what looks like a coolant line but I am unsure. Is it an easy fix? If so can anyone link me to the part I will need. Thank you,

Front frame below radiator had more rust than I wanted to allow. Knocked it down with a wire brush and painted over it.

Weird story, but I'll proceed. On Thanksgiving night, I had my FJ62 broken into. They damaged the lock cylinders on the hatch and the driver-side door, and eventually entered by breaking the rear, driver-side door window. Long story,short, I booked an appt with A Touch of Glass for the window...

So I got this rear diff interstate because I need the later 4 bolt pattern and despite it being wrapped in bubble wrap the transport monkeys have wrecked it.
