modifications

Just joined MUD, thanks Woody and everyone else. This is unbelievably cool to be part of. My username comes from 2 things: 1) I like to stay under the radar (i.e., have off-road capabilities without standing out too much) 2) my truck has multiple layers of sound insulation, lol I first drove...

Lets hear the ideas you all have in your head for mods you wanna do when you get your new Land Cruiser. I am looking to get the 1958 edition and do the following to it: 33" all terrains Wheels with better offset Rock sliders Steel front bumper or semi-bumper 1" coil spring spacers in the front...

Hi and thanks in advance. I want to ask if a 1972 FJ 45 chassis will take a 1977 FJ 45 tub with or without modifications?

I'm looking for thoughts on bastardizing my 78 US-spec 40. I love the 2F, 4 speed, electronic ignition, disk brakes, radio cut-out etc... but some parts seem downgraded from earlier years, especially from 72' and below. It seems cheaper, and arguably less permanent, to make these mods than to...

Hi y’all. I just picked up a GX460. I bought a GX470 back in 2016 that I sold at the height of the pandemic, then picked up 2.5 Tundra. Getting back to my roots and looking to mod the GX460, very slowly I might add. I searched but couldn’t find much information regarding re-gearing with 33’s...

I have an 04, 215k miles which I am going to trade in since I am not using it as much as planned, in the last 5k miles, I’ve done the TC/WP, oem steering rack & tires. The interior is probably a 6-7/10. The market is not too favorable at this time and thinking of getting a Camry. I still have...

I probably know the answer to this after exhaustive searching, but I wanted to throw it out there to see if there is even the slightest hope. For background I am about as mechanically inclined as a bowel movement, so that could be the ultimate limiting factor, but I do know some fairly bright...

So I picked up this VEVOR transmission jack a few weeks back when Home Depot had them on sale for $132. As luck would have it, the local grocery store had a deal on Home Depot gift cards that week too - 10x fuel reward points. So I got a $135 gift card and got $34 off my next fillup - bringing...

I'm not sure if these threads are allowed so if they are not mods please delete or put it where it belongs. Title is pretty self explanatory, problem is mine is heavily modified and I do not really know where to start with the price. Here's everything I could come up with but I know I'm...

Greetings, I wanted to initiate a thread about my 1984 Euro Spec BJ42 and hopefully tell the story and provide some details about the modifications that I have done to the vehicle. This is an ongoing thread that will also include the current state of the engine swap from 3B to 15BFT. This...

The Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) for the 2nd generation Tacoma tech section continues to be a work in progress. The goal is to have links in the below to other threads and tech articles. By having these linked, instead of pasting the text, the threads will remain live. The live threads can...

I am looking at a ~$40K Lexus LX570 but, there is another for sale at $30K that looks reasonable as well. Both are totally stock. I should note that I owned a 2007 Toyota Tundra with the I-Force 5.7L V-8 so, I have a healthy respect for the general platform. IFS suspension was an issue for me...

I've been guesting and reading this forum for about 3 years. In 2020 I started modifying the 2011 GX460 I bought in 2011. Some photos are attached. In early 2021 I did some off-roading with her in Florida in the Osceola and Apalachicola National Forests. Very light going ,though I bent and had...

I feel like a kid on Christmas morning... I bought my 2013 Land Cruiser in 2019 and I'm the second owner. I drove her for a couple of years and my wife drove her for a couple of years. The last 8-12 months we've had her in the garage as my wife and I have driven different vehicles. A few weeks...

Am I correct in believing that a 2015 is identical in every way to a 2013? I am considering a couple 2015's (and some 2014's) in my search for a new base for the rebuild of my 2013. I intend on moving a lot/all of the mods over. I know most everything will move over. Its my TJM front bumper...

$3500 OBO Engine likely needs replacement - had the serpentine belt break which put a hole in one of the coolant hoses. 15 minutes down the road from getting the belt replaced the car overheated. Local mechanic replaced the hoses and took it for a spin and it overheated pretty quickly again -...
