mystery

Hi guys, Driving home the other day I got out to open the gate where I’m staying and noticed an unusual whining noise. Please have a listen to the video at the bottom of the post and let me know what you think. It’s a sustained noise that only appeared after I started up and drove around this...

So I was wiring up my new winch when I came across a wiring mystery courtesy of my PO. Considering I am a half-banana tech when it comes to electrical, I could use a trained eye: There seem to be two separate cables attached to the positive terminal, marked here as yellow and purple. As you...

Does anybody know any details of this truck or the exact color?

Hopefully someone can help me out with this one. Currently I do not have brake assist on my 1985 FJ-60 meaning it more coasts to a stop than actual braking. This truck sat for 14 years so I am running in to a lot of weird things. I just finished doing a valve job due to a stuck intake valve...

just wanted to pass this on in case anyone else is having an issue with their batteries going flat in a matter of days. I had been having this issue for years and could never figure it out. I would have to disconnect the batteries or they would be dead in no time. My turn signals stopped...

just bought an '06 LC, and I can't figure out what the little on/off rocker is between the cigarette lighter and power outlet...it's not in the owners manual. Anyone know what this is, or is it a mystery aftermarket mod by the PO? Pic attached.

Bought a nice rust free, 119k mile '95 FZJ80 a couple months ago that didn't come with the keyless entry fobs but oddly had zero key scratches around any of the door locks, making me think it had to have keyless entry at some point or owners with surgeon-like steadiness in their hands...

Mystery Part 2 by RenegadeQ posted Apr 17, 2017 at 7:28 PM Mystery Part by RenegadeQ posted Apr 17, 2017 at 7:28 PM Gents....anyone have any idea what this part is? It hit me in the face while I was removing the starter on my 1984 FJ-60 for rebuild. I don't think it has anything to do with...

Relatively new owner here. Soooo, I was driving down a washboard road and felt a clunk, and looking in the rear view I saw my spare rolling into the bushes on the side of the road. So, a quick check that the rest of the truck is ok, and the tire goes into the back of the truck. I get home...

Hey folks. I'm getting Babe all out back together and things are going pretty well overall! Last night while installing the new carb I noticed this wire at the back of the engine bay coming off a screw to the firewall. It's black with a yellow stripe and from what I can see it's a ground. The...

There's a switch without a label between my 4wd lever and the heated seat switches on my 2002 lx470. This button is completely missing from the picture index on the owners manual! I've looked all over the forums and can't find a single post about it. It's round with a white dot on one side...

I'm in the process of installing another engine in my 93. I have this wire and have no idea where it goes. Any ideas? It comes off the main harness under the intake...

Hi all. I picked up my first FZJ80 about a month ago and loose in the center console were these two plastic pieces. I don't recognize them and I'm not even sure they go with the truck. They could be from a radio control helicopter for all I know. The material appears to be ABS plastic. If any...

I have been having a problem with my '99 LC and over heating while idle. I have ~175,000 miles on it, and it had the original 90k service. I am the 3rd owner, but 2nd basically kept in in the garage without driving much. I am over heating when stuck in traffic, or at a drive through, red...

Hi everyone, I have been searching mud, google, my local wreckers, and engine recyclers for info about the 15B-FT (note I am not interested in the FTE). The engine is listed in various places, but I cannot find official power/torque figures for it anywhere. I am looking for a 4 pot diesel...

After wanting one for a long time, I recently acquired a 1983 FJ60. I'm currently going through it, cleaning it up and fixiing some questionable wiring from the previous owner and found these. It has four of them, one inside each fender & quarter panel. There is a patent # listed but I couldn't...

**UPDATE** Seller posted new picture with "Hunter Vehicle Roof Top Tents". Any information would be great. Thank you! Found a used roof top tent for sale. Only markings on it say tentontop@cs.com. The logo looks like a generic 4x4 with a rtt on top and a ladder coming down. It's a heavy...
