install

I recently removed the defroster vents on my 77 FJ45 so I could clean and inspect the wiper motor. I'm trying to re-install the passenger side vent (LHD) but am having trouble because the wiper linkage is in the way. I tried turning on the wiper to move the linkage to see if that would help but...

DD advertises this as a 5 minute install with a plug and play harness at the trailer hookup. They don’t say anything about problems with the LC but that rear trailer connector on my 2020 does not come apart??? Or does it? I cannot figure this thing out without applying forces great enough to...

4plusproducts makes some of the dopest kit for landcruisers. Dave is contemplating retirement, so if there’s anything you want, get after it. These sliders were sold out, but my man Georg at Valley Hybrids keeps some 4plusproducts gear at his shop. Support these small shops, keep them afloat.

Disclaimer: I'm cross-posting this from the 100 forum since the TC are almost identical and I'd think there have been more of these installed in 80s than 100s. I come in peace! I'm in the middle of my TC rebuild (underdrive, 3.1 low, part-time spool, new bearings and seals) and planning to...

I'm planning to re-install the gear stacks tonight and get it all sealed back up to measure for shims. For the spool, I pulled all of the spider/pinion gears from between the new spool and low gear/shaft (pinion shaft, pinion gears, pin, and front and rear side gears -- see pic). After...

Messing around trying to figure out how best to install a Bestop fold and tumble rear seat and I get this idea. Surely someone has done this? The Bestop sits too low and I’m looking at 5 holes to drill into the tub. This route would use all factory holes where the jump seats mount and would...

Howdy, Today I installed a brand new York 210 on my 1FZFE, so I thought I'd make an install write-up. george.arnold was kind enough to sell me his complete NIB kit from Wit's End. I had decided on a York OBA but had been searching for the pulley which is the only piece currently NLA. Total...

I came across this company with rave reviews for their mounting options. But it looks like to install into a 2003 LX I would need to drill into the dash. Anyone install one of these? Thoughts? Reviewers love their stuff, btw...

Good Morning, I am swapping out some springs and returning to stock with airbags. My upper bump stops do no look like many of the stops I see referenced in the instructions or in many of the internet sources. Mine do not "rest" on the top of the spring. They are bolt mounted in what would...

My Joying 7" finally died and it's time for an upgrade. honestly the stereo in the cruiser has never sounded very good. The install will include: JVC KW-M788BH double din head unit Polk Audio DB651 6.5" co-axial door speakers Pioneer TS-G1045R 4" dash speakers Rockford Fosgate P3SD4-8 Punch 8"...

Today I took my reman axles and rebooted them due to my lift. I've done both the inner and outer sides and now I'm concerned I did not do the outer correctly. I placed the outer boot in the exact same spot as the original, but the wide opening section that goes over the outer joint casing is...

It’s the big day. FJ has been parked since pre-covid but I’m bringing her back to life! To my amazement, she fired up after two starter chugs and idled like a champ despite blowing out settled rust and cobwebs. BUT she’s got a starter issue… sometimes she starts, sometimes she doesn’t. So...

Besides pulling the third member? I am considering a lokka install but you need a different kit for lsd. I don’t want to pull it apart then have to order the locker and wait. Maybe if I pull the fill plug I can see enough to tell? That’s the only idea I have

Anyone else have troubles installing the Dobinsons Drawer system for a 2016 (+?) LC? It appears to be about 2 inches too wide at the wheel wells. I was very specific on the year/make/model when I ordered the drawers. I have reached out to the seller (ExitOffroad) for help but thought I would...

I have a wild hair to start changing all my bushings and body mounts. Knocking out the shackles this weekend. Question regarding body mounts... Can these be installed while the body is mounted? Meaning do I need to have the body removed to swap them out? I looked around and couldn't find an...

Just bought these from Manafre and looking for advice/instruction on install. Grease zerk on inside or outside? Flared end on top or bottom? Thanks in advance!

Installing a front windshield and aftermarket gasket from CCOT. I started off having my insurance Handel the replacement. After multiple companies said they couldn’t do it my insurance said they would reimburse me if I did it. So I took my front windshield to a local glass company. The only...

The LSPV on my ’96 USA-spec was dripping and I figured I’d install a replacement, not delete. I got everything but the rod bolted back together only find that the blueish plastic forks that form a slot for the rod are at a different angle than the old one. See photo. Do I have the wrong part...

Does anyone know if the fuel fill from a 105 will fit on an 80 series truck? Just trying to plan out a sub tank install and the 105's are cheaper. Any other parts compatibility between the two models?
