install

Just putting this up in case people want to be able to easily find it in a search. I will likely do a build thread for my truck at some point, but I'm excited about my new toy and I wanted to get this up. I finally got my RodVault from Denver Outfitters. The wait sucked and their customer...

Finally decided to finish installing the stainless brake lines. In this video I install the the stainless lines where the hard lines on the body meet the axle. Both lines are located be the wheel wells\axle on the passenger side of the truck. You can also follow my main build thread here...

I bought this Bumper from MetalTech last month and finally got around to the install. We were already in Salem, OR so I ran up to Newburg and loaded up a bumper and sliders. John Love was great, showed me around the place and took all my money, not that much actually. Below is a short video I...

I'm wondering if someone can point me to a link where there's a good tutorial on replacing worn rear drum brake on 60s? I'm comfortable with the front pads but not so with the rear drums. Braking is freakishly scary at best and am refreshing the system with pads, drums, new fluid, and brake bleed.

Hi all, would anyone recommend installing a spacer to boost up the driver side lean on my 60? I don't have the money now to buy new springs and don't know what kind of lift it has on there. Any thoughts?

I spent last weekend installing JBL Stage 602 speakers in all four doors, actually my wife did a lot of the work since I am in a sling from a little shoulder repair :). These are direct fit speakers with a couple catches along the way. We had to drill holes to mount the speakers and saw off a...

I posted a sneak peek on Monday of a DC Power Inc 270 amp alternator I ended up purchasing for the Cruiser. I got around to installing it, along with the wiring kit I had user @Fourrunner make yesterday. Wanted to give everyone the low down on the install. First of all, my reasoning for...

I searched...couldnt find what i was needing. Im sure it exists..my search -fu might be off. Looking for the proper FSM way of installing windshield as mine is leaking. Can someone point/link me to the pages to do this? Scan, copy, fax, carrier pigeon the pages showing this proper technique...

I just had front and rear TJM lockers installed on my 2002 Land Cruiser, and wanted to get some feedback from the community here before I call the shop to talk through the new issue I'm having. I noticed it while on the freeway going uphill at about 55-60mph. When I pressed the gas pedal down...

I finally got around to installing the DEPO headlights on my truck. The problem that I'm trying to figure out is that something is draining my battery now. I used a custom harness from Ray over RallyLights and I've emailed him to see if he has any ideas. But in the meantime I thought I'd ask...

I'm wanting to install a Backup Camera in my 2002 LX470. The dash display does not have video inputs - so I've been looking at those inexpensive backup cameras on Ebay that use a small 7 or 9" monitor. I have some questions: 1- anyone have experience with this? 2- better to run a video wire...

I got some free time this weekend to install the Manafre stainless brakes lines. I only had enough time to do and film the fronts. I plan on making another video for the other 2 lines. You can also follow my build thread here: 1987 FJ60 Build (No Nickname yet) Thanks for checking it out!

I've got a new second battery sitting around. Not a deep cycle, just a regular 800CCA one. I'm wondering about how to make use of it. I've seen rigs with dual-battery setups, but it seems you have to desmog, no? I don't see any other way of making use of the second battery tray location without...

I installed my Ram Mount a while back and decided to use it as an opportunity to experiment with making a how-to video. The video isn't perfect but it was fun to make and might give y'all some ideas for mounting accessories so I thought I'd share. Super simple really, I just cut a short length...

Hi I just got those new parts (oil sending unit/coolant temp sensor) and Im planning to install them later this week and I want to see if someone can help me with a doubt that I have. Do I need to use any type of tape on the threads for both parts before install them? Additionally I will like...

So, I have a 1989 HJ61. Right side drive. Previous owner had welded a snapped shift lever on. It re-snapped. I got a replacement lever from Spectre Off-Road in the hopes it would be compatible. It is not (see photo). My next best thought is to cut off the new lever and weld on to the old...

So I've been thinking of attending the Lone Star Jamboree in Gilmer, TX this year, and when reading the trail descriptions it looks like I'd have a lot more options if I took the plunge and put a rear locker (at least) in my otherwise unlocked '96 FZJ80. Last time I wheeled, I got stuck a few...

On almost every vehicle I have owned I have replaced the radio head unit and all the speakers. Its an easy and inexpensive way to get a lot better sound than stock, especially on an 18 year old truck. I'm not an audiophile and if you are one, you might want to look away! I set out to first...
