Hello all, I have a 2005 Toyota Land Cruiser that I bought back in 2019. Although the miles were low (92k at time of purchase) and the prior/original owner had all work done at the Toyota dealership in Yuma, AZ where he bought the car new, he was seemingly rough on the truck and I've spent a...

Any tips. This is getting really annoying. Easier to have transfer case in 2wd or 4wd? Do you push up on end of axle or push down? Should I not have put the knuckle on first? Can't get this thing in there been trying for over an hour. EDIT: Finally got it. For anyone else reading and having...

This morning I got home from the gym and needed a little garage time, so I decided to swap out the lights for LEDs, and install the flasher relay. This led to the Cruise Control delete, but I will save that for another post. This kit came with the truck when I bought it, the parts came from Odd...

Local shop is installing Dobinson IMS F/R w/ Nitro UCA's this week. Super excited to get the 135K mile original components swapped out! Anything in particular I should remind the shop about?

This document looks like instructions for installing a Dissent Offroad rear bumper (V3), but it’s not. This document is a description of what I did when I installed my bumper. I followed instructions on the bumper install that Dissent shared in their good (but incomplete) YouTube video on the...

I'm trying to get a Dobinson (IMS) lift on my GX460. I've never gotten a lift before, so I'm still trying to learn everything. I've talked to a shop and they said I can choose the height (thinking 2, 2.5, or 3 inches but not sure what would have the smoothest ride as well). I will be getting an...

I recently bought a new reproduction fiberglass top for my FJ40. What all do I need in order to assemble and install it? (Rain gutters/weatherstrip etc) and where should I buy? And does anyone know a good tutorial or instruction on painting and installing the fiberglass top? All help is...

I’m installing some BudBuilt shock mount sliders. I was an idiot and removed the shock from the mount. Any ideas how to compress the BP-51 shock to be able to get it back on the mount?

I just ordered a Doug Thorley cat back last night to replace a rusted out muffler. I was hoping someone would have tips on installing it. Or even a link to a build thread of an install? I tried searching but didn't turn up much related to the install. I've never installed a cat back before so...

I know this has been addressed before. Just wanted to give feedback on how successful the new struts swap is. Order from Amazon: $28.50 Perfect swap. Don't make the mistake of putting the new pieces together first just because it's exciting. Luckily did this with only 1 strut. Use 12mm...

First post hope I’m putting it in the right spot. I searched for a long time online and couldn’t find a good thread here or on the web or on YouTube. For most I’m sure this is an easy job but I’m no mechanic. So this is for all the newbies trying to fit the ARB bumper on. The instructions that...

Finally got around to installing the Metal Tech sliders on my Wife's '16 LC. It was a long weekend! I spent most of Saturday installing the rivet nuts and doing some test fitments. I spent an additional 5 hours or so today mounting the sliders. I did this alone, with some help from my wife in...

This weekend I'm going through the process of installing an ARB rear bumper. I've read through a couple of the install threads here so far and they've been helpful in a few aspects. A couple things I've noticed right off the bat: there are major fitment issues getting the new bumper to fit all...

Hey guys, I've got my new 4x4labs bumper almost all the way installed. I am having a hard time getting it the last 1" onto the frame, I have removed all rivets and there is nothing blocking it, its just the friction against the frame (in my opinion) that is keeping it from sliding all the way...

I tried searching this but didn't see a relevant post I had a pioneer 8000nex installed into my 90 HDJ81 this week. Apple car play with this unit requires connecting to the rear USB port which has an extension cable Does anyone know if there is a knockout piece that would allow me to mount...

So far I'm a fan of this rack. I opted for the flat option instead of one of the ones with upward or downward facing side walls because it was less bulky and costed less. It has mounts for a light bar up front, which ill probably end up using.

Just me and my buddy installing a Gamiviti roof rack on my 80 in an office max parking lot.
