question

Hi all, I just purchased my first LC. It's a 1999 LC 100. One owner 173k miles. Just threw some craigslist special Tundra wheels/tires on it that are a little better than the dry rotted tires that were on it. I'm starting to order all of the maintenance parts needed. The gentleman that I...

So I ordered these a few months ago from Mag Engines in Dubai. Very attractive price, maybe now I know why. The tabs for half the shells are on the wrong side... And the set doesn't include the #3 thrust bearing. 😐

I have a split transfer case and am putting it together. The shift lever going to the shift fork operates correctly until I tighten the shift detent ball/spring/bolt on the top of the case down and then it’s not shifting as it should. (It’s like it’s locking up the shift fork). Anyone have any...

Removed the alt and bracket in order to make room to replace some hoses and clean up the bracket. The alt had some dirt on it, as well as inside via the backside holes. I never took the alternator apart, but attempted to blow some of the dirt out via air compressor. Cleaned up the outside and...

Hey all When you are looking at lifts from different companies, is the lift height difference measured from normal AHC, or high AHC mode?

I’m building a disc brake axle for my 45. I’m piecing together 60 knuckles onto an axle tube from a ‘74 55. I had to grind the inside of the axle tube for the birfields to fit. All that’s done and I’m assembling the knuckles out. I discovered that when I install the hubs that there is no...

Well, I backed out of my garage without fully opening the door and put a nice scratch on my brand new painted cap. Does anyone know if I can just take a cap full of paint and add a few drops of hardener and mix it up so I can just dab a little on with a brush? Didn’t know if it had to be...

I'm planning on putting FCP suspension on my 2017. I only want to lift it about an inch. I can use some Dobinson rear springs for 1" in the rear and wind the preload adjusters down on the front. My question is about the panhard bar ("stage 2"). I don't think I'll need the adjustability...

Hello, I’m sure the question I’m about to ask has already been answered but sometimes I feel it’s easier to start a thread vs trying to do the research. So I have a 1974 fj40 with a 75 stock carb and plan on running the AC Delco canister. I was told by Red Line Cruisers that I no longer need...

What is the exact dimension from inside-face-of-frame-rail to inside-face-of-frame-rail on the front of an FZJ80? TIA!

Now, I (think I) know what the EDIC does. It gives the possibility to stop the engine with the key, there is over injection when cold, stops the engine with low oil pressure, etc. Until here, OK. But my question is, where is the EDIC switch for? What does that particular switch do if everything...

Hi there - I've got aftermarket front fenders from CCOT and am having them painted along with the rest of my tub. The body is painted and the top of the fenders have been painted - and we are getting ready to handle the underside of the fenders. Originally I was planning on having them...

I am looking to add 18" Method 305NV Wheels and K02 tires. They have the 0 offset available today or I can wait two - three weeks for 25 offset (stock). I am a tire newbie who will use these 90% of the time for daily driving and maybe 10% off pavement. Is there any real difference? If so, what...

Hello, I have a 2000 LC that is my wife’s pride and joy. She refuses to drive anything other and just had an issue pop up with the AC. The forced air and recirc lights alternately flash with the ac on and it stopped blowing cold air. I read the forum on testing for codes by holding both ac and...

I recently changed out my alternator for a Toyota Reman. Turns out, the one I removed was working fine (the sound I was hearing was the power steering gears). The replacement had a $75 core charge, plus I'd need to pay to ship it, let's say $20 for argument's sake. My what would you do...

Making the jump between a Fuel Pump tube 77209-60160, the breather tube 95312-13028, fuel hose 95337-06009, clamps, and the tubes on the body. I think I have everything that I need to reconnect the new fuel and breather tubes from the body to the new lines. The one part that raises a...

My steering gearbox on my HDJ81 is starting to leak along with the power steering lines. What would all be involved to swap the PPS Gearbox with a regular RHD 80 box? Also would I need different power steering lines as well? Ive read a couple posts but i cant seem to find a definitive anwser...

HI, so I ordered a new OEM lower thermostat housing along with the OEM upper thermostat housing. New lower housing does not have the bvsv port on the side. Can I just omit / bypass that or do I need a new / different housing? the old one is kinda beat and already has a helicoil on the one side...

Early on this year, i retrofitted a full a/c system from a 1991 import HDJ80 to a UK spec 1994 HDJ80. I found the whole wiring loom complete, and the retrofit wasnt particularly hard to do, as i had the dash out anyway to replace a leaking heater core. Unfortunately, i pulled the system from a...

First time trying to press ball joints (and 1st time doing a lift install this weekend). Was getting some pre-work in, attempting to press 555 ball joints I got from @cruiseroutfitters because my dobinsons were only available without ball joints or with moog’s from Exit Offroad. I have a...
