installation

I need to replace my leaking manifold and bought TPI headers. However, my normal mechanic doesn't install headers. I talked to Merriam but he is backed up until at least June. Do you have any recommendations?

I’ve seen several options on Amazon for the black window trim pieces. Anyone recommend one of the Amazon options after personally installing/ using them? TIA!

Hey there! I just bought a basic Curt hitch receiver for my 2012 GX460. I figured it would be a quick and easy 4 bolt installation. Naturally, I should have taken a look under the truck first because it turns out that my GX seems to be different from all the ones I've come across online (see...

Just bought a 2024 Tundra CREWMAX 3.4 v6 (non hybrid). My 1st work on it was to install power running boards. It's a bit of a step up and especially for my 5'4" wife. Also I've read some problems with the plastic trim on the lower left drivers side seat failing where it clips in. The...

Reaching out for some assistance. I purchased OE sliding windows from FJ40GURU and seals from City Racer, I also read the 1980 chassis manual and I am stuck on how the outer weatherstrip is adhered and where. I believe the way it was written the outer weatherstrip remains in place. In my case I...

I give up on trying to find the answer through searching here, Google, and YouTube. I've got this bumper... https://store.arbusa.com/rear-bumper-5615020/ The directions are only for the LC and thus show nothing about the AHC pump that is in the way of installation. Has anyone actually made...

Hey all, I'm in the middle of test fitting and installing a carpet set from Factory Interiors and I had a question about the rear section for install (maybe more to follow once I install the front and middle sections. 1988-1990 Toyota Land Cruiser Carpet Replacement - FJ62 - Nylon Complete |...

With some trepidation, I installed a Walker muffler on my '99 LX. $118 from Rock Auto, but I got an un-used one from a fellow MUDder. My OEM muffler was leaking water through rust holes at 300K+ miles. The good news: that the muffler basically fits and can work, and is quiet - maybe not 100% as...

I decided to do a write up of the Dissent FJ60 rear bumper installation since I couldn’t really find much in the way of instructions (passenger side swing out, fj60 vs fj62 nuances, etc… Lead time was right at 12 weeks. Bumper comes raw metal and I had everything powder coated locally ($400)...

77' FJ40 Had the truck for over a year now and finally beginning to troubleshooting inconsistent headlights/wipers between idle and driving. seems that all signs point to the alternator/voltage regulator. Been chasing the wiring all thru the engine bay and i can't find a voltage regulator...

Hello all, After going through hell and back to get the proper head for my 3B, I'm now installing all the valves and springs etc. I also ordered a pack of new valve stem seals to install as well, and I'm having a terrible time pressing them on. Unfortunately no where local do they have a...

Bought the EC Off-road for my 2021 HE and trying to decide if I want to install it myself. The videos they sent along talk about a HDMI cable to connect the rear camera to the head unit, but don’t show the install because the vehicle they’re working on is a VX and not a Sahara. I assume the VX...

Hey I recently purchased a smittybuilt center console on Amazon meant to fit a 87-95 wrangler yj and trying to fit it on my fj62 Land Cruiser was wondering if anybody has done this before and if so what I need in order to install if I need additional parts. Thanks in advance!

Anyone installed Boss Air Bags on their 40? Any tips, things to look out for, etc.?

I recently ordered a Harrop supercharger for my 21 LC. It's currently crated up and sitting in my dining room as I can't seem to find a local shop willing or able to install. I am therefore considering doing it myself. I'm pretty mechanical, but not a mechanic. Has anyone out there undertaken...

Need these to install a proper radio in your Toyota/Lexus, or retain steering wheel controls once you do so? (I used them for just that in a RX330) Both are yours for $40 shipped in the US, or cheaper for pickup in Berkeley, CA You will have to reset/reprogram.

I'm in the middle of installing a new Front Runner (Slimsport) roof rack on my 2004 100 series. I've managed to remove the factory rack (not without breaking some brittle plastic, but that's OK) and clean the connection points. I've also managed to start the assembly of the rack (putting the L...

Howdy Installed a pair of 90 watt auxbeam lights, fabbed up a simple bracket that's bolted to the aluminum impact crossbar just behind the lower grill. The electrics are really simple, there is firewall grommets on both sides of the engine block to run wires through. The lights are much brighter...

Hello, I need to use diodes for an aftermarket rear taillight installation. The light bar requires power to the marker/running light wire for the brake lights to function. I'd like the brake light to work when the marker lights are off (headlight switch off). Since this will end up being my...

Mid mix and match project. I have a ‘73 40 and have a ’87 60 engine that I’m installing. So far so so. The newest issue is fan size, the ‘87 one is too big to fit the ‘73 fan shroud and the ‘73 fan has a different bolt pattern than the ‘87 water pump. Anyone know the magic combination?
