question

So I rebuilt my knuckles last weekend. Everything seemed fine. On Wednesday I got a weird screech/grind sound 3 times that I could feel vibration from at the same time. No noises on Thursday. Then on Friday as I was headed home, the car squeaked (from what sounds like the front left knuckle)...

I may get flamed for this, but here goes Exactly how much variation can there be in knuckles. In the 3 sets I have to choose from for my disc upgrade the shims only varied by 1 or 2. If I choose a set and setup for preload only, am I courting disaster later? I've got the Marlin Crawler seals...

I'm looking at doing a speaker upgrade on my 06. My question is does anyone run a 2 channel speaker up front and a 3 channel in the rear? How does it sound? I was going to go with 2ohm 6.5" speakers but was wondering if the 3 channel coaxil set up for the rear would be the best option. thx.

so, tried search, apparently I can't find the wright words for the search. I want to upgrade the headlight wiring to bigger wires to get max performance. I keep hearing about the headlights being wired differently than "normal" cars. Anyone got a wiring diagram or good explanation of what I...

I'm on a road trip and noticed my oil gauge is a little low. I just had an oil change. Any worries here? Thanks!!

sorry if I missed it on the forum at all, but in my quick search I couldn't find it. I have a 2.5 OME lift on my 1985 cruiser right now. the shocks and springs are pretty worn and I am looking to do an upgrade. I have never messed with suspension lifts before so bear with me. I am just looking...

Putting my sons front end back together and noticed these two outer TRE's don't have grease fittings. The passenger one has grease in it but the drivers side does not seem to have any. I understand I can remove the bolt, add a fitting and then grease it, but my question is this common? The...

Hello all, I am a new Landcruiser owner, but have owned a modified Tacoma for 9 years now. I just purchased a '96 cruiser that has a 1HD-t swap, bald tires and the OME stock height suspension under it. Because of the diesel engine, I'm considering attempting to put 35" tires on it to keep...

Currently have a 73 fj40 running a 70's gm 307 sbc. Radiator is definitely on its last legs and I am looking to replace it with a universal one, possibly aluminum, any suggestions as to what I should be running?

So had the 100 in for service (170k), and dealer confirmed both front wheel bearings have play in them. I noticed this myself so I know it's true. They want to charge me 4 hours labor just to CHECK the bearings...lol. Obviously they want to sell me a bearing job. Wondering if the indy mech who...

My son just called after having his oil changed saying that the "cv axle has a gap," apparently before it sets into the hub. I am clueless when it comes to this stuff but have learned a lot from this forum. Does anyone have suggestions on what causes this or if it is dangerous or needs to be...

I'm at 65K since my first full Birf overhaul including seals, new bearings and races (wheel/trunions), wipers, etc. I'm about to visit them again for a repack and new wipers along with fitting locking hubs. Do I need to install new Axle Seals and trunions bearings? Some of the kits come...

I recently downloaded a copy of the FSM for the LC 100. I was reading through it and its full of great information for servicing. My problem is finding parts numbers. Is there an extra Parts Catalog download or maybe a parts chapter thats missing from the one I downloaded? I come from the...

I removed my top for the first time today and want to start working on the weatherstripping. I have a 67 FJ40 and you can see by this picture that the PO did not remove the top when they painted the rig. Nice eh? What I want to do is use weatherstripping to cover up the edges it but I noticed...

I am going to buy 5 16in. split rims that are from Saudi. Can I put FJ40 hub caps on these rims?? The rims came off a Saudi FJ45. I believe that he has 4 more that he will sell also if anyone is interested. My rims are coming with the original Saudi tires. The other 4 he has will not have...

So I picked up the piggie in Ft. Collins last week, the white one that belonged to TJ's old neighbor. Crusty, but runs and drives nicely,and the interior is very nice. I promise to start a build thread soon! Anyway. The battery was dead, so a few days ago I jumped it, and let it run to try and...

Howdy, Plan on acquiring my uncle's 67 FJ45 (edit: build date is 1965) LWB Cruiser he purchased new. From what I understand, the original engine is out and has been replaced with a period correct F motor. He still has the original engine but it needs rebuild. Truck is NOT running and has...

Hey all. I fit my boost compensator, played with the timing a bit and been trying to tune fuel my 5lt injector pump and have run into some interesting problems. When the engine is cool/cold it seems to run pretty well. But when Ive made it about a mile or two and the engine is closer to temp...
