question

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...

Hi all, Still figuring out some connections. Does anybody know what these 4 cables connect to? There are 2 connections both with 2 wires. Green Red with Green and the other Green Wite with Green Black. They go all four together and about 70cm in my case they are just cut off. These cables are...

Does anywhere sell this baffle between intake and exhaust? I also had some good luck getting bolts out of the upper exhaust flange so I might go and buy a lotto ticket lol. I did chase the threads, I also need bolts. Also haven't finished cleaning the surface so. Not rebuilding the outside...

I’m going to replace the shocks on my 100 soon, but am a little confused. I’ve never changed a shock in any of my 20 years of driving, surprisingly, and this LC has a very small lift on it, I can’t tell if the shocks are aftermarket or stock, but….. if it has a lift that’s probably no bigger...

hey guys about a week ago I was asking if 2020 tundra trd pro fox shocks would swap right into 200 series. After doing more research I possibly might be interested in doing the whole swap (control arms, axles, tie rod ends) question is for whomever has already done this setup, what is your...

I have a 1989 FJ62 and I have been looking at IH8MUD for help fixing my vehicle for years without creating an account. Finally registered for an account today and I think it’s going to be much better! I am replacing my vehicle’s water pump (in and of itself a difficult task for me) and I saw a...

Greetings, My 1980 CA FJ40 is in Europe and a 'keeper' that will pass to the next generation(s). I am conscious of trying to start sourcing some of more difficult items to find due to the CA smog stuff. Any help/ suggestions on what items that would be good to start accumulating for the day...

Recently had the rear fenders patched using the panels made by Real Steel. We are running a 2-1/2" OME lift; 16" wheels and Yokohama Geolandar M/T (LT255/85R16). The clearance at the leading edge of the rear fenders looks close. What does the brain trust think? Thanks.

1977 is running about 177° (infra red gun) at the freeze plugs when warmed up and idling but the temp gauge slowly moved all the way right as it warmed up. I think the gauge may be from a '79 (the amp meter is). Is the sender from a '79 different than a '77? thanks

Replacing rear diff seal. Part number shows 90311-38028 in my parts book. I have one of those seals but it looks different from what is on mine. First picture is before I remove. 2nd picture is of the part I have. Can anyone tell me if this is correct part? I thought it was leaking but looking...

Okay. My dash is cracked like most. 55401-60140-E0 was in stock at first at amayama. However, after paying for it and all it turns out its not in stock anymore... So, after doing some research. 55401-60160-E0 is in stock. From what i can tell, the first one is for 95's and the second one is...

Hey y’all, pulled the trigger on an 07 LC470 with 115k miles on it. Interior is great and engine is perfect, but got some rust to it. Most of it is “surface” rust, but there is some corrosion that has created holes in the rear quarter panels/wheel well area. Has anyone had any luck with body...

After replacing my rear shocks with new iron man fcps my 03 lc is still riding like a safari mobile. Took it to a shop that deals in suspension and they reviewed all my componentry and as I suspected everything is good (not worn or broken). Where he did indicate something less than normal is is...

I was driving home today, while going into a slight curve, my steering got tight and I heard a series of beeps. There are no lights lit up on my dash. Any ideas what this may have been? I just got a new steering rack about a month ago Thanks

I’m putting an electrical component into my 80. For the purposes of my question, it doesn’t really matter what it is. It has a plug, with two spade connectors. (I’m installing an AC compressor modified to be on board air compressor) I have an ohm meter, but not sure I can use it for much, other...
