installation

Hi All, Putting in some good TLC on the 2007 LC w/ 3" OME lift. It's 256k miles strong and in great working condition. Purchased back in Feb 2020 and I'd feel better knowing I installed the following. Just lining up my notes for each. My question is, given install, would you do the same in...

Hey all, just wanted to provided a write up on BudBuilt Skid plate install. Wasn't difficult when I took time to slow down and thing it out instead of just attacking it. Hoping this will help someone else out in the future that is trying to wrench on their 200, but like me and getting into...

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...

1996 Land Cruiser - 4 hours of trying to put the harmonic balancer back on the cam and the little half circle lock key keeps popping out of groove in cam shaft. What is the secret?? I have to be on the 50th attempt - I am soooooo frustrated. I have the key slot positioned on the very top. I...

Crutchfield sent me the attached MasterSheet for the removal of all of my OEM dash & door speakers and the main stereo head unit. Please note that the CD changer and center console speaker are not covered in the attached.

I recently had Slee 30mm rear spacers put in. They were installed by my "normal" mechanic. (just a NAPA guy). All looked good and road well at speed. BUT going slow over bumps it feels TERRIBLE; even small ones. It feels like they are not attached to the frame, makes a knocking sounds and...

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...

This guide is intended to assist with the installation of the OPOR sliders from MetalTech. If you're still on the fence for this purchase, hopefully the guide/pictures will help make your decision. This installation is on a 2006 LX470 with AHC. The install on a truck without AHC is even...

Quick Intro: I picked up a $5k 1999 stock, locked LC about two weeks ago, and I am building it up for a bit of overlanding. I'm fairly mechanical -- used to be a Porsche service manager, but really am more of a Toyota man at heart. I also co-lead off-road dualsport motorcycle trips through...

I am installing the front end plate on my 3FE. Should I put any gasket treatment or something similar on the gasket between the block and the front end plate? I was going to use some Toyota Black FIPG but I wasn't sure if that is what is normally done. What is the best way to install the gasket...

After installing my OME lift kit, my braking performance went from adequate to bad. After installing 255/85/r16 tires, my braking performance went from bad to "holy s*** this is scary dangerous". Went through the FSM and several threads on mud. After performing some routine diagnostics, I...

Hi, Has anyone any tips on installing these?

Can someone confirm I'm an idiot? I'm putting new brake wheel cylinders on my 75' RHD FJ45. I bled the hell outa these things and still can't get em' to work properly. Went to adjust the rears again and noticed both adjusters were on the bottom. See picture... Can someone confirm that one...

G'day All, I have a 1975 FJ45 with a 350 Chevy and original four-speed and i've been told that putting in a locker in the rear makes them a lot more fun. I was just wondering which brand was the best. I was also wondering if they are a bit beyond novice to intermediate to install?

Quick question... I have the diaphragm from an F engine cooling system/waterpump and I noticed I did not put the gasket on the pic ( letter D) in the correct order.. I put the thermostat on the lower piece water outlet and then paper gasket on top then the upper water outlet piece with rubber...

I wanted to share some of my thinking on the Tembo/exel aux tank install a bit as the 200 goes into the shop for installation of the Aux tank this week. I was going to do the install myself, but work always gets in the way of the best-laid plans. A little background, while 60L/15 gallons does...

Having had 7+ years of excellent performance and reliability out of the PUMA in my 80 series it was an easy choice when I upgraded my MV-50 compressor in our LX. I wanted it to take up as little space as possible and be travel friendly. We use the LX as our travel/tow vehicle and it gets packed...

Can anyone explain how to fit these steel plates? I'm reading the instructions they gave but it isn't clicking. Two FK10's came as part of the suspension kit for a front solid axle.

Help !!! My Costa Rican mechanic is trying to install an Aussie Locker on my 1997 LC. Neither the instructions, or this tutorial mentions the RDF (rear differential) spacer (part No. 14 in schematic below) which fits over the RDF shaft (part No. 13.) It is sort of a cylindrical collar with 2...
