question

So I just posted in the 100 series forum, but also needing some advice from this forum's vets as well. I am looking at a couple 4Runners that are selling near my area. The first is a '99 Highlander, the under carriage looks pretty good: And also a '01 Sport which looked really good...

Hey guys I have a 72 parts car and it looks like someone did a 2F swap on it. How do I tell if the transmission is 3 vs 4 speed? Is there a way to tell by serial number without shifting it? The shifter has a lot of play and it's hard to tell the pattern. Pic attached

So I picked up a used ARB locker, I believe the model is an RD08. It is an older unit and uses a 1/8 BSPT bulkhead. I'm having trouble finding parts to connect the 3.5 mm line from the compressor to the locker. anybody have any recommendations? I called ARB and looked through their parts...

Anyone hear of an aftermarket lock mechanism for my 87' pickup tailgate? I have locking cap and would like to lock tailgate too. Thanks Ken

My 72 FJ55 has what appears to be a stock F carb and is running good but I have a few questions about the vacuum connections. 1.) HIGHLIGHTED in RED - I'm not familiar with the vacuum diaphragm on the left side of the carb (what function does this diaphragm perform) ? 2.) HIGHLIGHTED in...

Hey guys, I'm getting ready to put the soft top bows on (Troll Hole soft top) and have found threaded holes in the top windshield channel to my surprise (a good thing). Was wondering if anyone knew the correct metric screw size for those holes? I could run to the hardware store and try a...

I just got my truck back from TJ performance in Orange. Had OME 865s / Torsions / diff drop / Slee Ucas / Fox 2.0s. Truck rides Amazing much better than stock. However their idea of level differs from mine. They had the torsions cranked so high there was 15mm of down travel. Before After...

Does anyone here know if a 1981 FJ40 hardtop will fit onto a 1975 FJ40?

Hoping someone could answer this for me....I have a 14' enclosed trailer and I would love to install at least a 12" led light bar on the back. I already have a small light with switch and I am assuming it's just a 12 volt connection. Can I just remove the old incandescent light and install the...

So we are looking pretty seriously at buying a GX470 for Rachael (03-08 seem to be in the price range). They come with the 2UZ-FE, which I love, as they are pretty well known for dependability and hey, it's a Toyota, I should be able to work on it when anything goes south on it. Quick...

I'm installing an Arm Sahara bumper on my LX470 and I can't figure out how to install the rubber extrusions on the wings due to the horrible image quality in the instructions. It's step 11 & 12 where I'm supposed to insert mount strips into the rubber extrusion and screw them in. The mount...

I think I've gone full stupid and can't get my 60 to pass emissions. Was high CO, so I need to lean. Can't remember if turning mixture screw in or out to lean??? I want to think turning screw in leans...Correct? Also is there any relation to how much fuel is in sight glass to lean rich status?

So a friend of mine just gave me a set of 2005ish Tacoma trd wheels. Does any one know off hand what the stock offset is, for the 80 or for the Tacoma, thank you in advance sorry im was misinformed, looks like they are 2005ish trd wheels, has any one tried running these? looks like they are...

Rebuilt the front axle last weekend and installed a set of 50mm Slinky's while I was in there. Looking at the FSM (after the fact, oops) it appears that one of the PO's had installed a spacer. Which has a large split in it. Two questions, 1) is this in fact a spacer and 2) how much of a split...

My '66 FJ40 has a really old wiper switch and the really old top mounted wipers. What do all the wires on the switch do? I assume it has something to do with parking the blade. Do they all need +12? Or is it more complicated than that.

I'm wanting a little rumble exhaust sound and don't want to spend the money for a DT exhaust system. Has anyone done a muffler delete? any problems with this? Also thinking about a Flomaster muffler but not sure the route I want to go. My 100 is not my DD so not worried about getting tired of...

Long-time member here but I'm in the 80-Series section. Kicking around a 2nd Gen Sequoia 5.7. Trying to figure out if the myriad of Tundra rims will fit right up to the 2nd Gen Sequoia without needing spacers so it doesn't look awkward, etc. Specifically, the Tundra rims below. Thanks. Mark.

My trucks springs are flat. Truck had what I thought was an after market 2 inch lift. Bought light duty OME leaf springs and now catching hell getting them reinstalled. It is close but I can't get front of spring close to front shackle mount. Did I need to replace shackles? Adjust the...

Needed some help. I replaced all door speakers and wanted to replace the rear sun with a 2way 6 1/2 speaker like the one i put in the front doors. The truck came with a double din and i believe the factory amps are still hooked up. I installed one of the other speaker to try out the sub out put...
