service

This one is fresh off the container. The second Saudi cruiser I’ve imported. 1992, first of the 1FZ trucks. Real.

A long time ago in a garage far far away….. The Saggin Wagon was born Fast forward 5 years and 10,000 miles and the 3rd owner (since rebirth has sent this thing to Tilda Bogue to make it like he wants it. It arrived a few weeks ago and has been patiently waiting its turn for some love while I...

The service information label under my hood is pretty faded and I am having trouble finding legible examples online for a possible reproduction. I am wondering if anyone has a better example under their hood (by the latch) that they can share. Anything would be appreciated, especially an...

So I had my LX470 at the Lexus dealership for its 300000 klm major service (timing belt etc). On the drive home I stop through a drive through for lunch and roll the window down, the car is making a terrible sound. I roll forward maybe 10 metres to the window and the sound gets loud enough to...

My first major project of 2023 was the 1967 FJ45 LPB I did for @Sweet Water ’s dad. While Mike was out looking at the 45 at @OGBeno ‘s place Johnny sold them on this 2 for 1 package. I had already made many commitments for this year so I could not work on these two back to back but now the shop...

I’ve got a 200 in the shop that I’ve snuck in between a couple of major 40 projects. One just done. One that’s about to start. This is a nice Mississippi 200 that’s in for Slee Sliders, Slee Front bumper, Dissent rear….Dobinsons update, tires ….. may be forgetting something Saturday I...

Hello, I'm looking for a reputable mechanic/service shop in the Grand Rapids area, to service my '97 FZJ80 while my Son takes to flight school. Any recommendations? Thank you.

This 1969 FJ40 has had a good hard life. It’s been with its current owner around 20 years living in and around the Texas hill country. The owner contacted me about getting it safe to drive around his neighborhood and town instead of it being relegated to ranch life as it has been for the last...

Today, Olathe Sweet Corn hit roadside stands for the first time this season in Colorado. Carry on...

First time doing this job on this truck and read the manuals, the threads, and watched the videos. What I'm writing about is this part from the owner manual "re-torque nuts and bolts". To me re-torque means losing up the nuts/bolts then torque back to specs - 88Nm. Yet, I did not see or read...

Looking for a video showing how to service the e-brake bellcrank pivot.

Lost all compressions suddenly. Checked and timing was off. 516,000km on the clock. Bought oem fibre gear and cover gasket

Does anyone have experience with AUS Injection in Mesa, AZ? Fuel Injector Services and Products I'm considering having them re-manufacture my injectors. I know WitchHunter Performance has rave reviews, but as of right now, they have a long turn around and they are far from me. If anybody has...

Hi all, new 2018 Land Cruiser owner here. I just took the cruiser to my local Toyota Service Center to look at the driver side rear automatic window which moves slightly by hand when the window is rolled up. The service techs said that there is no problem and that slight play is normal...

Hi all, I am planning on replacing the rear wheel bearings on my 1998 Lx470 with 240k miles. Does anyone have a link to a service manual or write up anywhere? I have yet to come across a good video or guide on how to do this. I also need to know if I have all the bearings, parts, and seals I...

Hello. Just as the title states; I have a factory service manual for the 1995 Land Cruiser for sale. It is the single volume publication number RM432U it is in decent shape, very minimal greasy finger marks on page edges, no rips/tears, no missing pages, not all marked up inside, and not...

Hey all, Last week I put together the attached spreadsheet to help me take a look at the service recommendations in one place. I just copied all of the service & "inspect" text from an online copy of the manual, then did some formatting to make it easier (for me at least) to see it visually. The...

Im looking for just the service ports off the AC compressor, this style. The part held in the hand in the first pic. Second pic shows it mounted to the compressor. I dont need the entire compressor.

So after doing the timing belt/pulleys/front axle rebuild/etc/etc myself, next up is the steering rack (oil drips, steering is questionable and I've got about 223k on the current rack). Turns out, I'm not too interested in doing that job myself (lifting the engine sounds... terrible). Does...
