Selling a water to air intercooler kit for the 80 series. Specifically made/assembled for the supercharger by another member years ago. The build went a different route so this is not going to be used. It is used with about 2,000 miles on it. Originally sold for $2,250 and I am asking $1,500...
Hi friends, I'm interested in purchasing an 80 series and I'm curious to get everyone's thoughts on the rust on this 96 lx450. It's got relatively "low" miles and the price seems ok, but this is a bit rustier than I'm used to working on. I'm looking to purchase a vehicle to have "forever", not...
Hey all I've read through other trouble shooting on similar issues but with no luck. I am having issues with #2 Tail Fuse (15 AMP) blowing every time I turn on the lights. It takes out my Dash lights (minus the warning lights, I see you ABS). The first time it happened I was just driving home...
Selling my 96 Lx450. This truck is a solid, no rust truck I bought out of Texas. Sold new in the DFW area and stayed there its whole life until I bought it. Since then I have:
Replaced the head gasket
Rebuilt head
ARP head studs
New timing gear set
New rear main seal
Resealed oil pan
New leather...
Hello all,
Long time lurker here, finally clicked that register button. I've wanted a Landcruiser for a few years now, but being in Canada and 80's being hard to find without importing, I was just breaking up with the idea. Started looking at 1st gen Tacomas, but that was frustrating as this...
Hello,
I have a Tough Dog 2.5" lift suspension kit for sale - TourFlex coil springs and 9-way 45mm adjustable big bore shock absorbers. New-in-box; zero miles on them. Asking $1790 for the 4 springs and 4 shocks.
I purchased this kit from Jason at Trail-Tailor a couple years ago (May 2022)...
I have 3 of these for sale. $150 each.
Installing an OEM subtank or Long Range America auxilary tank and want the factory main tank transfer inlet pipe? Compared to a N. America spec 80, this assembly has an extra inlet pipe for the transfer pump system that was available in other markets. Push...
Would consider different types of steel bumpers from ARB style all the way down to a tube bumper. Also looking for sliders. I have rerouted the exhaust so that is not an issue. What's out there?
Let's try this again and frame it as a TECH question which will force me to be more candid with my situation...
In the summer of 2022, my car was totaled by a hit and run drunk driver outside my house. Insurance gave me a total loss check for $12,000. Used car market was so high that I couldn't...
Want to dismantle the seat to replace bolster and reupholster the seat. Looking for a video or file that shows how to remove the seat back and break down the seat. Seat is out of vehicle and on the bench. Thanks Jim
Hey Y'all -
First time posting here.
I am at best an amateur mechanic. Currently mostly-rebuilding a gm 2.8 V6 in an 89 Isuzu Trooper. Wife and I decided to pick up a bigger rig that we can keep as our family grows so we pulled the trigger on this 1997 LX 450. She has 180k miles has a...
So my 1 FZ FE isn’t doing so great. My transmission wasn’t shifting into 2nd or 3rd so I had to drive in 1st to get home. I kept the engine just below 5k rpm (red line) and eventually got home but at some point it started making a ticking sound and the oil pressure gauge dropped to about 1/4...
hi everyone,
are there any tips and tricks to removing the plastic cladding off the truck?
getting ready for paint and thought i'd remove the stuff myself.
thanks
I’m looking for a 1FZ FE cylinder head that I can buy. Mine is warped .009 and it is recommended that I try and buy a parted out head assembly. Any thoughts or input is appreciated.
Hi -
I'm looking at reupholstering the leather on the front two seats of my LX. However, it looks like all replacement options are not really a match for the grain. The original leather is ultra soft with a very fine grain pattern and I want the exact same thing if possible. I believe the LS...
