It's the light of a new day. Lest this demonstration of my new Front Runner Telescopic Camping Light get moved to the Camping section of the forum, this just symbolizes the fresh start I'm documenting here after totaling the old Green Truck. I was fortunate to find an LX450 already started on...
Hello, mud members. I'm closing in on the end of my current Toyota pickup build and have some misc pieces I need to locate to call it finished. The truck is a 94 2wd pickup- a couple of these items are specific to 2wd. The list is as follows: spare tire winch/hoist(I believe it is actually...
Unfortunate incident happened today. My wife had the GX out shopping and was hit by a distracted driver in a parking lot. Thankfully she is ok and feels fine so far. The truck hit directly on the rear swingout hinge of my Coastal off-road bumper. Upon inspection the hinge just has a few shiny...
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...
Hi All,
Not been on here for a long time but finally purchased a RHD BJ40 for myself. I need a bit of advice please. The BJ has been restored (sort of) but the wiring is a mess. She really needs a new harness but not really knowing where to start, do I either fitting a kit or ask a shop do it...
Last time I am at a camp site I saw ground squirrel jump up into the truck multiple times. There was nothing I could do, trying to scare it could make it go deeper inside the engine.
They jump up from the front control arm or thereabouts. Luckily it was brief and it didn't come back with...
Hello all.
New to the forum
Semi new to these trucks.
I purchased this truck back in 2015 or 2016 I don’t remember.
California truck that I just drove to New Hampshire 2 weeks ago.
3x locked
OME suspension
Front runner rack
295/75r16 KO2’s
Under the hood brand new or rebuilt everything...
My friend Hendog in NC is helping a friend look for a truck he sold awhile back, it's supposedly in PA. Was orange at one time now brown. I'll be posting any details I can find out about it. Let me know if you can add anything. Thanks, Gary
When I am sitting in the truck, with the engine OFF, all accessories OFF, is there a way to see the time on the clock in the dash?
In a lot of my other autos, there is a button to press that will power up the clock when the car is OFF to see the time.
Thanks!
I'm chasing a rattle/rumble in my truck, but am I chasing my tail? I have a virtually all new suspension. EMU with U-bolt flip kit. New Orion TC, balanced original drive lines with new bearings. Knuckles rebuilt. Rebuilt diffs (ARB lockers and new ring and pinion gears), rebuilt brakes and...
I'm a few borders south of the border visiting for a few months, and I've started looking at classifieds at classic Land Cruisers to drive back north.
Unfortunately I don't know enough about them to make sure I don't waste money.
I was looking at one project to start with, a pickup. Ad says...
All, I have a brand new in box never used 8 gang switch panel for lights in a truck. Nearly identical the Auxbeam switch.
Currently retailing at Amazon for about $100, anyone interested for $75 OBO before I relegate it to eBay?
I'm really hyped on this one; I picked up a 1990 HDJ81—triple locked, 1HDT diesel motor.
The first drive home was 8 hrs, and did it with no issues. It's pretty wild that a 33-year-old truck runs like a dream!
The first thing I had done was a PDI intercooler and trans cooler.
Also added...
I’m looking for some input on if this makes sense from a safety standpoint and if it would even work.
I’ve started to take a 1 ton diesel to the mountains lately for hunting and camping while I’m other truck is a work in progress. The diesel isn’t really set up for off tossing so it’s nothing...
i just picked up a 83 toy diesel, needs some little things but runs very good, im curious who carries A/C kits for it, it gets damn hot here in se nm/west tx
We have a 94 FZJ80 with a bad motor and a used motor out of a 97 based on what the VIN tells me, it came with the truck. I have seen some other threads saying there are differences between the two. The 97 motor we are planning on putting in does not have any accessories or intake on it, I was...
Ok folks
So, woke up this morning to take the dogs out and saw this...
I am freaked the hell out.
I live alone and NOBODY but me has the keys to this truck. I got the truck back the other day after it being on the mainland for a while. I parked it there on my property because it is flat and I...
Anyone know if the 79-newer Toyota pick up truck leaf springs fit a 1975 Toyota truck longbed? Can't even find an old # to cross reference other years.
TIA!!
