So I had the same problem as many of us to with the little plastic retaining nuts breaking and no longer holding the sill plate steps on their studs. Since these studs are some strange metric thread pitch it is hard to find something to replace the plastic nuts with.. Here is what I came up with...

Did this about a year ago. Was gonna hack it off and just weld something up but I am not a draftsman and would have to splurge on a welder. Any suggestions in what I should do or anyone who had a crossmember bent up like this? Am I mistaken or was there a bumber that required that rear member...

I posted before when this happened to me a couple months ago how by following the simple instruction on this forum to remove the ignition lock cylinder and the broken rod ... you can start the truck using a 7 or 8 mm socket or a 3/32,,,,, 1/4 drive socket on a 6-7" extension or nut driver...

A topic of discussion for the Mud brain trust, what are your thoughts on using stop leak products on gasket and seal leaks? I am in no way affiliated with any such company, but I have personally used Blue Devil products on a 336,000 mile Volvo 940 with a really bad oil pan gasket leak. I will...

Hi all, I've got a UK 2000 Amazon, 4.2 1HD-FTE which, unfortunately, came with a knackered injection pump when it arrived to me overseas. Looking for somewhere in the UK that can help - mechanic has removed the pump and the car is now parked, I'm coming back to the UK for work in April so can...

Hello all, i've been reading here for years but this is my first post. I've got a 90 HDJ81 with cruise control problems. Mr. Toyota no longer makes the speed sensor for the 91-92 80 series (or 90-92 HDJ81) and call me a soft but having the CC is awesome for driving our rigs long distance. I...

Hey everyone. I've waiting a few months to make this post - to see how my shaky mirror fix worked. Turns out not so well, but I think there is hope. There is still stuff called Bondic. It's like $25 or so on Amazon. If you've been to the dentist in the past 10 years and they put that blue...

Now that you have fallen for my clickbait article, here is my LSPV delete write-up. Ever since I got my 80 series, I have wanted to improve the braking power, because, frankly it sucks. ( At least compared to other modern cars I have driven) One of the major things I wanted to do was get the...

Why am I redoing the interior? The PO ripped out the carpet because it was wet and developed mildew followed by yucky smells and my daughter can't stand it etc etc. The seats looked like crap because why? WATER thats why! Whenever driving in a torrential downpour it drips on my head on my...

So I decided to tackle the broken power antenna. It was not too difficult, but had its challenges. The motor can be accessed from the hole in the wheel well. First the fuel pump resistor must be removed, one screw. The antenna motor can them be removed by unscrewing the silver collar that...

I got side tracked from doing my fluid changes by by a problem with my negative battery lead, that left me stranded at the local convenience store until an older guy offered to jump the LC off :bang: He noticed the ground lead was all jacked up when he connected the little boost box that he used...

So I did all the work needed. See previous post 'this is what p0401 code looks like'. Idle now struggling and not smooth as before. Truck readjusting to more airflow? Should I disconnect computer and rehook up? Amy other ideas?

I recently removed my roof rack bolts and welded the holes shut with silicone bronze rod. There was a good amount of rust pitting on all the bolts. I tried removing as much as possible, then sanded and as suggested by a friend, I painted over the area with plain old Kilz. His reasoning was...

In need of some help... so the PO of my truck jerry rigged the throttle valve solenoid on the carb. I'm installing a trollhole carb and need to get this straightened out so I can install the carb and do a valve adjustment. They spliced the solenoid directly into the harness, so I don't have a...

I was cutting tree branches today and using my 80 to help drop limbs. I was standing on the Gamiviti roof rack and dropping tree limbs. Kind of dumb but it was also kind of fun. I had a rope around one big limb and my wife was pulling on it as cut it free. It fell landing on the ground but then...

Anyone have a lead on this part or a non OE fix for one of these exhaust brackets? The rubber cushion on mine is in decent shape but the hanger is broken. (image credit to Joe_E for this incredibly clean and well restored frame pic posted in a in a previous thread)

So my Front diff and various other components have this green sludge on it. it gathered a decent puddle in about 3 hours. Idk what to refill and was wondering if yall had any ideas. I dont have green coolant (its brown and needs to be changed), and theres no dye in the A/C. my engine oil isn't...

Not sure if this has been discussed, but I wanted to share how I fixed the plastic door panel on my wife's 2006 4runner. This is rather a kindergarten car work, but some people don't know how to work with fiberglass and this is an easy place to start. What happened was the small plastic pieces...
