I installed my full set of steel skids from slee last night. I noticed that the truck has a slight vibration now. I checked all the bolts and everything is tight. I am wondering if it's the exhaust pipe. It comes very close to the belly pan like 1cm or less. No rattles or squeaks just doesn't...
Brand not known. Look like Slee, Iron Man, and Metal Tech. May be a local member remake, not really sure. Anyways, they worked just fine. I just pulled off to go with another type. They are used, kinda dirty, but totally fine. Not bent or anything weird. I have hardware that came off the truck...
These were removed from my 1983 FJ60 when I installed a u-bolt flip kit and rear anti-inversion shackles. The truck has always lived in the dry southwest so only surface rust. Everything in the picture is included.
The rubber in the isolators is still good. The threads on one of the u-bolts is...
im still getting familiar to my new to me 100 (2000). I had a shop do CV and had them do the brakes while they were in there. Normally I'd do it myself.
Got it back and the brakes are now squeaking while driving which really frustrated me.
Took the brakes apart tonight and found what appears...
I'm relatively new Landcrusier owner.
I'm learning about the wonderful world of rolling restoration, maintenance and stuffing mitts full of $100 bills into my BJ to fix things. Still love it. Just installed an OME suspension system and now see that
my 81 BJ42 frame plates where my rear spring...
These are not a one off project for me, these will be available as bolt on from BudBuilt.
That's right, change your oil and filter without removing the armor. Also notice how the alignment cams are protected. Damaged those on my first trip.
First off, these are still in development, but...
When doing a lift (looking at 2-2.5"), what are the pros/cons of using plates or bushings to correct castor? I'm contemplating doing the install myself, but lack (at the moment) a means of pressing new bushings in. The stock suspension is knackered, on a good day, and the castor bushing vs...
I have finally pieced together the parts for my lift (850, 860) and am just missing the means to correct caster to complete the install. I don't like the CC bushing idea, so looking for either the control arm drop bracket (DD and fire road use, no rock crawling) or caster correction plates that...
I park my daily driver near the roll-on/roll-off pier (and military vehicle shipping contractor’s yard) on the Honolulu waterfront. I’ve seen a few unusual cruisers (FJ-25, FJ-45, other FJ-40s) arrive in the islands in recent years.
The FJ-40 in the photo is not exactly a show car… but it has...
1976 FJ40 Front disc backing plates with brake fittings and small brake caliber lines.
These are in very good shape. Slight surface rust in some areas but no cancer.
$110 plus shipping
EDITED: I feel like the answer is right under my nose, but I am not seeing it......why do caster plates seem to be designed for +4 inch lifts but not smaller? This crossed my mind after reading a couple recent threads about caster bushings falling apart and the thought that OEM bushings have...
Odd Iron Off Road in Thomasville, GA made this skid plate for my 77 Series Land Cruiser. (1/4" steel plating)
He can make skid plates for virtually every Land Cruiser. They can be fabricated from 1/4" or 3/16" steel plating. Is there any interest in a product like this?
Thanks

I'm trying to get caster back to "normal" for my '97 Landcruiser with 4" front lift, 5" rear lift (J springs and spacers) while avoiding driveline vibrations... aren't we all (at one time or another). I haven't yet installed any caster correction devices, it's just all stock with a lift...
