installation

I reckon we should have a competition for the most difficult job on a 60, because its a 60 (not talking cracking a thermostat bolt). My vote is to install the AC Idle Pully Nuts (or even adjust the thing). Aus series 3F. I wanted to tighten the AC belt as it was squeaking, and stupidly turned...

Finished a complete drum brake rebuild on the rear my 1975 FJ40. Napa Parts. Followed the FSM as best as I could for the process but it did not mention the lugs on one side of the shoes. Drums fit fine, but measuring the circumference it is much larger on the adjuster aspect and not "round" the...

Found some 4” led lights on Amazon. Lights and wiring harness under $20. Overall pretty easy working behind the bumper because there is plenty of space to maneuver. I did have to cut a 4” section out of the middle plastic lower grill but it was easy with a sawzall. Real happy with the...

I decided on the CBI covert winch bumper. The install took me about 2.5 days. I definitely recommend watching the CBI installation video over and over. While it takes them not time for them to put the bumper on it took me a bit longer. Here are some notes and recommendations. When taping off...

New sliders on the LX570 I went with the MetalTech ones, the install in the 570 includes unbolting the entire AHC system from the frame rails and placing a gusset plate along the frame which your outriggers for the sliders to attach to. For tools I used short box/ratchet wrenches, 3/8th and 1/4...

Hello. I recently bought an 80 series with a 130A Tundra alternator and what I believe is a photoman bracket kit. If there ever were instructions for installation, and if anyone still has these, please send them to me - I would greatly appreciate it. I got the alternator out, but I'm...

So I finally decided to pull the trigger and get a Tatton DC forward drive shaft for my LX450. I went with CJ Tatton given I heard great things about the quality of his work. When I tried to install and connect the CV to the T-case it would not slide into place. The CV’s circular holes would...

Could use a recommendation or two for a meticulous LRA tank installation in a 2021 LC200. Searched. Didn't see any related posts. Thank you!

I'm working to get the Ironman front bumper installed on my 04 LX470, along with the cheap ebay recovery points, and Badland APEX 12K winch. Since Ironman didn't provide clear enough information/parts, I have to keep searching for answers on IH8Mud, Youtube, and other source. My limited...

Hi, I have a FZJ105 and I am about to install a H152 box from a 2008 VDJ79. I will be installing a taller 5th gearset. Will the transfer case from the FZJ105 bolt up to the H152? If not is it possible and what must be done? Thank you

Hi there. I just bought an OEM dash pad for my FJ62 (I found the best price on CityRacer, fyi). I have been looking for instructions on how to take the old one off and install the new one but can't seem to find anywhere. The old one almost feels glued on. I did take out the two screws at...

Hi, I purchased an exhaust system for my 78 FJ. My issue is that the (manifold end) flange on the down pipe is cocked and I’m not sure if the protruding pipe is long enough. Does the portion of the down-pipe protruding above the flange need to butt up to the donut gasket firmly and square? The...

This afternoon I tested a used '78 2F igniter in my '76 FJ40 with FJ60 distributor. I wanted to ensure the igniter would work with a 1/75 through 9/77 2F distributor converted to Toyota electronic ignition. Over the past few days I spent several hours searching the MUD forums and other Internet...
