Scored big time with these mint seats out of a 94 4runner. So I know there are other threads out there about info on seat interchangeability and the question of whether or not the 89-95 generation Toyota seats would fit has been pretty much confirmed but 50% said no track hole modification and...

After doing some research I have run into a dead end on my search for snorkel options for an 87 pickup with 22r. I’ve seen some evidence that ARB Safari Snorkel had a product at some point but I don’t see them offered any longer. I’ve seen hokey diy setups but am looking for something a little...

Post em' if you got em! I'll start: 1992 JDM LN107

Ok ... I own 2 Land Cruisers, been a member here for over 5 years, and barely have enough time to maintain my Cruisers let alone do a build thread. Figured now is as good a time as any to change that. Plus, I don't have any experience at all with these trucks, and I'll be needing some advice. I...

1982 4wd pickup OME lift. What are some common front end issues that you can feel and it doesnt take much movement to make the noise. U bolts are tight bushings are good in the springs and the steering stabilizer. Doesnt look like the torque bar has issues but not ruling it out either. I dont...

It came out of the factory like this right?

Hey guys. I just picked up a LN106 Hilux double cab. It was an abandoned project and it has no engine or transmission but it used to have a 3L diesel. It still has the wiring harness for the 3L. I live in Central America so we get a pretty good choice of diesels/transmissions. I was thinking...

I joined the ranks of the “mini-truck” owners today. 😁

Greetings All, I'm Travis and last December I purchased a 1KZ-TE KZN130 Hilux SURF from Japanese Classics. 80k km, 5 spd. She's been a good truck so far but she just started having a cold starting issue. First start of the day, she will crank over more that normal before finally lighting off...

In our 80 4wd pickup, brother swapped over a new aisin carb and it was running great, he had to reuse fuel cutoff solinoid Which died a week later. All our old carbs are 22r which is a different solinoid (4 wire plug) I'm trying to source a new 20r replacement, the carb is brand new Is...

Greetings all! I have a 74' FJ40 with a Chevy 350 V8 that I am attempting to install power steering on. I am running into some interesting issues. Searches have led me to all sorts of extended research into what could be the cause of this misalignment but I have yet to figure out what is...

Work continues on my 81 pickup suspension refresh and clean up. I want to remove the winch bar and could use some suggestions. I feel dumb even asking this. It is obvious that I need to remove these four bolts on each side, but how the heck does one get at the two outboard bolts? Bent box end...

So in 2021, I had that itch. You know the itch of wanting that sweet ride you had in High School. I wanted an absolute stock 1985 Toyota Pickup Xtra Cab 4x4. The color was not super important, but I didn’t want 30+ years of people hacking away. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve done my fair share of...

I'm looking to clear some space out of the garage. I've got a pile of leftover stuff that needs to go. All this stuff is from a 94 LC - Brand new, never installed advics (Aisin/OEM) master cylinder for wagons with ABS. PN# BMT-068 - $100 with shipping included. - Used 1FZ shortlbock with...

I'm looking at some YN65 and YN107 series JDM hiluxes. The Y-series gas engines are terrible. Gutless and fuel pump has issues. Has anyone successfully thrown a 22RE in place of one of these engines? I can't imagine it's very difficult. The 3Y-E uses a G52 transmission. Also since the trucks...

i just picked up a 83 toy diesel, needs some little things but runs very good, im curious who carries A/C kits for it, it gets damn hot here in se nm/west tx

For breakin im using TS4 which i use in tractors but i feel like thats not a long term solution

i made a little video about the "gray wire mod" for the elocker. for those that don't know, the purpose of the mod is to make the locker available full time without needing 4L to engage. also kill the speed limitation. this should work with all rigs using the typical elocker brain. 1st and 2nd...

I wanted a short throw but couldn't eat the price. built this from two shift towers. 2wd r150 and 4wd r150 cut the socket off the 2wd. cut the boot catch off the 4wd weld them (i paid a guy cuz i don't do aluminium) added 1 3/8" to the stick. i had to open up the lower hole a little bit. gravy.

I just scored a 1977 chinook that is pretty cheery. I really want to SAS it. Can you SAS the 1977 2wd frame? I have everything to do a SAS for a 87. . Ill leave it alone if I have to swap the frame
