Hello, I was recently replacing my rear caliper slide pins. I had to take a brake as my calipers were messed up and had to order news ones. Going back to it I don’t remember which hole the slide pin with the rubber piece goes. Does it matter which hole or position it is in? I’m worried it’ll get...

Hello, I’ve noticed that after driving my 100 series the engine stays warm for extended periods of times after turning it off. It stays at the running temp (180 degrees Fahrenheit) for maybe 30 min to an hour. I just replaced the thermostat and it has plenty of coolant. I need to do the timing...

Hello. Longtime lurker first time posting. Apologize if the question has already been asked or if I am posting in the wrong thread. I swear I have read almost every thread on tire size for the 100 series but cannot find a solid answer. My cruiser has a 2.5" OME lift and ARB front bumper. I want...

Hello, I am replacing my exhaust manifold, I am getting the manifold from DT. I've read the gaskets are bad and decided to get OEM ones along with new studs and bolts. I put a screen shot below of all the stuff (from partsouq). Does this look like the correct items and amount of them I need? I...

Hello, I just recently put new tires on my truck. I put on Nokian Outpost nAT 285/75/16. The tire place and many others are unsure if they are going to be able to do an alignment since they are not OEM size. What have you guys done or have you had a similar issue?

Hello, I recently got a 2000 LC. It has been a Cali truck all its life except its spent the past couple years in Maine. There was almost no rust on the frame, just on the welds and the axel had some decent rust in some spots. I spent time getting away most of the rust then painting it with...

Hello, I was just replacing my coolant when a bug flew in. It was smaller than a fly, a pretty small bug, maybe a little bigger than a gnat. I'm worried about future damage and plugging of passageways that could lead to damage. Should I be concerned about this, or is it no big deal? I would...

Crazy s*** going on with my 80. I've been having battery issues for a few months. I definitely need a new battery but I'm too broke so yeah. Basically, when it needs jumped, sometimes I'll turn the key over and the dash lights up, airbags charge but starter doesn't do anything (sometimes it...

Hello, this is my first post so please forgive me if there are any issues. I am having an odd issue with my vehicle occasionally dying out at low RPM when I turn the steering wheel, and I am hoping someone may be able to give me some suggestions. I also have very limited mechanical knowledge...

I was just gifted a 1996 FJ80. Its previous owner kept it covered from any rain, but I am unable to do so. Recently, I noticed that the driver and passenger side floorboards are wet. The rear floorboards are a little wet, but only near the door. The moon roof seal is broken, but it was taped...

Hello, As the title suggests, I REALLY want to find my Dad's old FJ40. He regrets selling it, we're both really into cars, and I've always had a fascination with his old FJ40, leading me to want to try and track it down. STORY: My Dad purchased the FJ in Columbus, Ohio, (I'm pretty sure) in...

RESOLVED: Hi everyone, I attempted my own oil change on my 2008 LC today, and I'm afraid I've really messed something up. I've changed my own oil dozens of times, but this was my first time doing it on the cruiser. I drained the oil and replaced the plug, removed the oil filter, and then...

Hey guys, I have a 2018 Long Bed Taco and I was hoping to replace the bed because of the originals ware and tare. I bought a newer replacement bed and was hoping to install it myself. I got as far as removing the tailgate and noticed this might be more work that previously expected. Is there a...

Good 'ay gents If you knowledgeable peeps could help me identify this plug (the one my thumb is on) as to what it is connected to and if anybody knows if they are replaceable. I had a no start issue miles away from civilization here in the outback and after checking all the usual suspects...

Hello, I have a 2013 LX570 141K miles. I get this weird rattling noise at low RPMs. I'm using Ow20 oil and overall there are no issues with drivability and this noise is very annoying. It usually happens when I'm going really slow or idling like at a drive-through or something but it might even...

Good morning big brother to the south! I am looking to order a full suspension kit from cruiser outfitters but they don't ship palletized items to Canada. My next best option is to ship to MT and then drive down from Calgary AB to pick it up myself. I'll be driving down in my BJ60, so if there...

I'm working on trying to install a new clutch/pressure plate for the 4speed conversion project and I've run into a bit of a roadblock. The clutch is in with the alignment tool and the pressure plate has 3 of the bolts in. However, it is very difficult to try and rotate the flywheel to get...
