inspection

Russ has offered his shop ( in fallbrook) for our annual safety inspection. OCTOBER 8TH Some ideas to put to the club: Do we want to have the club sponsor a brisket or two for Russ to smoke? A buddy of mine does auto detailing and will be on hand to clean rigs. You'll need to make a...

I’m so frustrated, swapped my old iron man foam cells out for foam cell pros cuz the back was hopping like a impala on switches especially on small road imperfections. New shocks didn’t fix it. What should I be looking at besides that. -Sway bar bushing only have 20k on em and mounts are good...

May be a silly ? but I am curious what others think. I have an gm clutch and had pullled the inpsection cover to clean it and other than visual inspection of clutch operation it can go back on. The clutch seems a bit softer on engagement but there is no dust/debris and I depressed clutch with...

As the title states, I am looking for a BH inspection cover for a FJ40 with a H42 4speed and BH . Thank you

Hey everyone, I’m flying in to Portland tomorrow morning to buy my first 100 series, as the title suggests, and I’m looking for a reputable mechanic that some of you may know to preform a PrePurchase Inspection. Maybe he’s a land cruiser guy or maybe he’s just been turning a wrench for the...

And the pre purchase inspection videos will go here.

I'm out of state and looking at an 03 Lexus LX470 in Murfreesboro. Some knowledgeable eyeballs would be awesome, just thought I'd see if anyone here on the forum lives close to 37130! If nobody's near there, does anyone have recommendations about a certified inspection service I could use? I...

Maybe I'm just a wuss (sic!) but i was trying to get the tie-rod ends to come free on the front steering rod (going from pitman arm to LHS swivel hub arm) however I baulked after getting a bit too jiggy with my nice Hazet tool ball joint tool. Will have a go again soon. Just wondering where...

I looked at a 2009 tonight. It’s from NJ. The interior was in fantastic shape, the outside paint looked fine as well as I could tell in the dark. The undercarriage had been freshly undercoated. I was laying in a puddle, looking around with a flashlight the best I could at places that weren’t...

Calling on the wisdom of fj80 owners, aside from Slee's buying guide, is there anything specific I should know about for 94 models or inspect before buying this truck? I will be test driving the truck this week. Truck specs: - 94 fj80 - no lockers - 236K on OD - owner says he rebuilt knuckles...

Hello, I'm looking at a 2003 LX470 in Salt Lake City. I live in Colorado and will be getting this the middle of next week. Does anyone know someone who could mechanically inspect the vehicle for me? I'll be happy to pay a fee to look it over and make sure there isn't anything horribly wrong...

I'm looking to buy an original inspection light for my 1982 Toyota Land Cruiser HJ47. Attached are pictures of one that recently sold on Ebay for $290. I would pay more for one in similar condition or less for one without all the extras. The inspection light has to be working and have plug...

So I am trying to get my new truck legal in the state of VT. I was told before the mechanic even looked at that it won't pass as the two rear fender are not on the vehicle. The tires stick out past the body! To make matters worse if he does the inspection the state will have digital pics that...

Hi all, For those of you playing along at home, I found an '81 BJ40 in great shape and everything I'm looking for. I'm new to these trucks and I'd like to ask for advice on what I should look for when inspecting it. I plan to take it to a Toyota Dealer/Mechanic and have it inspected...

Gents, I'm looking to upgrade the headlights in my 62 using the popular harness from slcfj62 here on Mud, and wanted to upgrade the headlamps to H4/H1s. However, H4s - and any non-DOT headlamps - are technically illegal here in VA (but H1s are okay). Are any of you running these and/or have...

I have two 24V inspection lamps with blue bags for sale. These are the later ones with black chord and yellow cad plated hardware. One bag has a bluer tint to it than the other (I don't believe this is the heavily tinted blue bag found with earlier brown chord lamps) and has a small tear along...

Looking at an lx470 tonight. The flipper swears that the auction he bought it from stated that it was done at 150k miles (12k ago) and i dont see it coming up on the lexus history. I am going to call the toyota dealership associated with that dealer group but I am not optimistic. Im hoping...

Tech inspection March 22, 2017 at 10am. At the Brassfields. Contact club member for address. Bring a side, club will provide the meat.

I live in Ma. and they frown on wheel spacers, tires sticking out and most everything. Any good "tips" to get around the process, besides having a buddy that owns the garage? Im on a 5 in king lift and 1 body wth 345/75/16s and spacers(which Ill remove for insection) But Id like to know how you...
