Rehabbing front end of my rig. 313k miles. Ran into this when cleaning up PS spindle for new spindle bearing, brass bushing, and seal. Is the ID of the axle tube a critical spec? Thinking of just sanding down those ridges (somehow the axle chattered in the tube at some point??). Have a...

It looks like I tore my passenger upper cv boot yesterday. It flung out a bunch of grease. It’s torn at the small end first bellow. I’m tempted to clean it as best I can and wrap gorilla tape around it to try to keep grease in. It is driving fine with no clicking/issues. Any other ideas? Salida...

Hello all, I have a 2003 Lx 470 which has developed a really bad bounce going over bumps and uneven payment. If anyone else has suggestions on what might be wrong that would be great as well. I suspect it is bad globes so I purchased them to repair my self with the fluid. However, I tore my...

My red FJ80 has some rust and I have been working diligently on repairing. There are a few spots around the wheels and rockers. I have tried several shops asking for a weld and repair. They all turn me away, saying that it is too big of a vehicle and they make more money with smaller...

Hey guys. I'm new here. I have a 2007 FJ with 240k miles on it that needs a new head gasket. Exhaust was leaking into cooling system. I'm in the process of tearing it down to see what's wrong with it. I'm very close to having the heads off the block and I have a few questions about this specific...

This listing is probably only suitable for someone who can do major bodywork. It was hit while parked on the street by someone go in approximately 30 miles an hour, and damage was done to the bumper, left quarter panel, floor pan, and rear body panel. I had originally intended to take it to a...

Hello, I am hoping someone in the Colorado, Denver/ Front Range area, may know of anyone taking on fabrication work? I have taken my FJ62 to CTS up in Conifer in the past, they are great, but they aren't doing fabrication work. I seem to be hitting this roadblock everywhere I try. I have...

Hi all, Head mechanic at my shop said I need to get a new pulley because of a some threading getting chewed up. Here’s some photos. Good pulleys go for $400 and really can’t afford it as I’m in the middle of putting a rebuilt engine together and back in. Is this fixable or usable as is for a while?

Brought my 1999 LX470 into the dealership for what I thought would be minor to moderate repairs. I had moderate shake in the engine when stopped, some overheating issues when climbing high elevation, and clunky steering. The bill ended up being $9000 for a multitude of issues. I brought it in...

Hey guys, first post here (I’ve been looking through threads for yrs slowly building up the rig) As the title states, 2000 LC picked a fight with a tree and lost, so I could use a little help on diagnosing which parts I’ll need for repair, if any members might have some of those parts, and...

Hi All, What lighting do you use for the unfortunate nighttime repair? I have a pocket flashlight, LED headlamp and small magnetic LED work lights. Do carry or use anything different like a large portable flood light on a stand or a battery powered LED strip or something else? If you really want...

Has anyone replaced the trim surrounding a front air vent before? Can the trim be ordered separately or is the vent and the trim joined permanently (see image)? The part number I'm able to track down looks like the right part in one diagram (i.e. includes the trim), however in another view it's...

So I got a sweet 84 Fj-60 last Summer. Instantly fell in love and she drove great for a year with very minor problems. When I got her she was leaking a decent bit a oil though and she's only got worse. On a really hot day this summer started smoking and died on my way home. Started up fine once...

I just picked up my Toyota 1987 extended cab SR5 22r last month and drove it from Arizona to Kentucky. I took it out hill climbing and mudding for about 5hours. Was in 4wd and 3rd gear going fast over some mud and the engines rpm was going up without me pushing on the gas and in neutral so I...

I recently acquired a 1978 BJ40 with a hundred minor issues. I’ve been sorting them out slowly. The inner handle of the right rear door was broken. You can’t buy the handle separately from the complete latch assembly. So I bought some epoxy clay for about $4 and fixed it. Now it just needs some...
