question

When installing the Prinsu rack, I was hyperfocused on not allowing the bolt insert to fall into the headliner. I used silicone around the insert like the pics below., then pressed the Prinsu spacer on top of it. The seal is waterproof. What I didn't do, like the Prinsu Video mentioned, was...

Hi ya all here with other questions because I’m a cruiser newbie. Does this colter meter looks okay to you guys?

I am looking at purchasing a set of 16"wheels from City Racer (see link) to mount a set of 255/85/16's on - specifically BFG KO2's. My concern is the width of these wheels, even tho this is one of there recomended tire sizes. I like the idea of having OEM hub caps on my wheels which is the...

Has anyone installed a 5.7 gas Toyota V8 engine in an 80-Series?

A friend is helping me install a new axle, you think this shipping damage is acceptable to still install?

I've had a DUI distributor sitting on the shelf for quite some time and finally decided to install it. The install went smooth thanks to all of the info I found here on Mud. I turned the key and she fired right up. Seamed to idle smoother than ever. I was stoked! Here are my question(s). I...

Not sure if any of you have posted outside of the 60 section, but way less activity with the 4th gen 4Runner guys. Not sure why...maybe less problems. I thought I would throw my question in here for some feedback. Puchased an 03 4Runner and it was well maintained, timing belt recently changed...

Where do I connect the single lug (armature)at the end of the motor on my '77 8247? Replacing solenoids with contactor.. Contactor has the 4 lugs ,pos and neg to battery then the other two to the f1 & f2 lugs on motor. I've checked the diagrams on line and still don't get it. Where the heck do...

Hi guys, I've been lurking for awhile but after much searching, I finally purchased a 1978 FJ40 on the weekend. I've worked in the automotive industry in the past and have collected and restored many classic vehicles but this is my first FJ40 so I've got a steep learning curve. My FJ has Apr...

any help for my mechanic - wondering but went / should now go here:

Trying to figure out which one is L and R. With bottoms it's easy, with tops, original's look similar (except for hole for armrest) Ridies came in without hole, but they have some kind of loops with plastic insert which I don't have on originals. My guess is that maybe side airbags? Was it...

I have a 1990 HZJ80 and this is my first time attempting to rebuild the steering knuckle on the left side, which has the longer axle. I replaced the CV joint, mounted it on the axle, and secured it with the snap ring. After greasing everything, I reassembled the hub. Before installing the...

I recently replaced the shocks and coils on my LC 100 (220k miles), and also raised the torsion bars a bit. After doing so, I just found that both sides of my CV boots are leaking between the axle and the boot - the clamps aren't tight enough at the angle they're at. Both are leaking through on...

Hi all, I did a bit of searching but couldn't find much. I have a new-to-me, Ed Martin built 2021, and I've got the ARB compressor hooked up to a set of rear bags and a quick release chuck under the hood. Recently, despite the switch being in the "off" position, the compressor kicks on for...

I have the LX450 and it came without a front bumper. If I find one from a 92 or something will it bolt on straight away or will it need some adjusting or hole drilling? Thanks!

Hello everyone. I’ve been using MUD as a resource for my 2013 LX over the last year but this is my first post. I took a trip to Death Valley eariler this month and while descending this gnarly mountain I tripped a P2716 code for my shift solenoid in the trans. This lead to a flashing 4Lo and...

Switch works, fan blows low or high depending on the switches on dash, problem the air is not hot, not even warm just cold or outside temp. Front heater works fine, what could cause this? I’m assuming the front and rear heaters share the same heater core? If not where is the heater core for the...

1) What is the device located above the steering column in the photo below, which is apparently not equipped to every LC250 model? I believe it's to ensure you're watching the road. The LC250 is supposed to have TSS 3.0 standard on all models, so I'm wondering why it would only be equipped on...

I'm considering buying a 1997 80 series with the 1HDT engine. It has 126,000 km on the clock. Based upon reading various threads here, it is a good idea to inspect/replace the BEB's. Can that be done with the engine in the truck? Should the rod bearings also be replaced at the same time...

Scratched the rear shaft of transmission while pulling the seal. Any suggestions to fix it? Or is it not a big enough scratch to cause a leak
