thread

Sadly, I have not been able to find the thread or info for using 4runner trd struts/shocks/springs in place of our oem set up. If anybody can point me to the resources I'd appreciate that. need to factor in costs if I have to have a mechanic do the swaps/conversions or modifications. Might just...

Chris @CCRider came by today and grabbed my engine hoist for a project he’s working on and we got to thinking, what if we had a thread for things that locals need to get through a project? Sometimes it’s a hub socket, sometimes it’s an engine hoist, sometimes it’s a timing light… this thread...

Hey mud, Just wanted to start out this thread with a bit of "HOLY SH*T". Pulled into the driveway last night and my 1985 fj60 was on fire. I quickly called 911 and my local volunteer fire dept. crew came quickly and put it out. It looks as though the battery was the culprit, and the battery...

With the death of my 500k GX i had planned to move to a larger platform, namely a 2G sequoia or LX570…… Plans changed and a great deal came my way. 2008 GX non Kdss 230k miles Victory 4x4 front bumper, rear bumper and rack Clean frame Plans: Snokel 80% off-road weld on sliders Perry parts...

Some of you know me in person already, but around here I've been mostly lurking for years, and I figured that now's the time to change that! As I move on to my second 100 series, I'd like to get things a bit better documented for both my own sake and others this time around. I'm very excited to...

Hello from Alabama! I have been a long time lurker and have owned several Toyotas over the years. I have definitely gotten some great info from the minds of Mud. I acquired this 60 equipped with a SBC, 700R4, 34mm split case earlier this year with a compromised engine from the classifieds...

I’m re-working some very rough soft top bows that I bought from a local club member around 2009 or so. They worked okay but I never had a middle bow and some of the fabrication was a bit rough so wanted to clean them up and make them nicer. I did a fair an amount of searching but couldn’t find...

Hi togehter. Since i'm already spamming the what-did-you-do-with-your-80-thread with pictures i came to the conclusion that i should start a build thread. About me: I'm currently 25, service engineer for agricultual machinery/automated milking and feeding, living in the countryside near...

Hey guys, so yeah, looks like I've got the radiator crack, so I'm going go ahead and replace it, but I wanted to make sure this is the correct part number for the updated version of the radiator: Toyota 16400-50384, for a 2013 Land Cruiser. I just hit 109,000 miles so from what I'm reading, I...

Purpose and overview, to keep a log of my journey with this new to me 05 Lexus LX470. I picked it up sight unseen from another forum member with around 235k miles. Initial impressions: Wow cool truck. Roomy and beefy. Just what I expected. Engine roared like a straight piped F350 when I...

Is there one? my searches have shown none...one or two example pics pop up in other threads but nothing as a collection...thinking of dumping my flares as I removed the running board and looking at those flares...

Hi friends, I've got a couple of 3 spoke 80 series steering wheels I need to recover. First for the Holy Truck, and then the Omani Diesel. I've been doing steering wheels every year or so for a while and I thought I would try something different this time--making my own pattern. I may...

Looking for your input... I'm new here (looking to buy a 470), and I made a huge mistake years ago when I bought a 4Runner that was undercoated. I even paid for a PPI and the shop didn't think it was rotted underneath. Well, it was. One time I hit the brakes and the control arm ripped out of the...

Figured since I’m doing this I’d make a thread in the event it would be beneficial to anyone. So far we have done the fronts and I ran hard lines. Going to tackle the rest this weekend. It’s been pretty simple so far! We had to get some flexible hoses that were longer than the ones provided...

Hi together, maybe someone can help me. Since I lost my second keyfob the winter before last winter (jepp the car gives a f*** if the key isn’t in the car if you didn’t turned it off sometimes) I decided now to get again a second one just to be safe. So I did some research, contacted some Toyo...

I picked up this 1975 FJ40 back in April. I was building my fake 45 at the time, so it went on the back burner. Now it's time to start my lazy guy style revival of this V8 swapped Cruiser. When purchased, the top was off due to the non existent rusted drip rail. It had an awful 1/4 thick...

TPMS light is on. All of my tires are inflated to proper pressure. My sensors are all less than 2 years old, as I replaced as precautionary measure when I did a wheel/ tire swap. Techstream won't connect to the TPMS computer, instead it gives me an error message. So, I can't determine if...

Hey yall! Long story short: overheated my 07 100 series, radiator blew, head gasket blew, replaced all of it (by the book(FSM)), immediately had rough idle on start up, only in drive and reverse at idle letting off brake, everything was solid enough to load up 3k pound trailer and drive 21...

Now that I've got all of my equipment in, I figured I'd start my own thread. I recently purchased my stepfather's prized 2005 LC100. It was in fantastic shape for an 18 year old vehicle except for the sound system. As imagined all of the speakers are dry-rotted and sound terrible. The...

Anyone think a listing of all the SAS builds would be handy? (Not sure how many there are...) Potential sticky for reference maybe???
