I've lurked for 2 months now while I tried to fix this disaster of a 94 triple locked 80s series. If u really wanna know whole back story ill gladly type my adventure up lol however I've reached my wits end. I am now in need of actual conversation to sort this out. Number 1 my ect doesn't work...

I was sitting in my Cruiser letting it idle to warm it up. Long story, but I apparently had a fuel leak that ignited. The engine compartment is burned. All the wiring and everything rubber and plastic under the hood is gone. Damage inside the cab does not seem all that bad. The dash pad is...

Got this in an email, some good deals. https://www.rockauto.com/closeouts/?carcode=1276613&l=en&a=CloseoutEmail

I'm looking for some alignment advice. Sorry to start another alignment thread, but I've read through as many as I can with search. I have a 2" Dobinsons MRA lift with Dobinsons UCA. I'm getting some tire wear on the outer edges, squeaking on the pavement when turning sharp at low speeds, and...

The 14B-T is maybe my favourite B engine and during much internet trawling, I finally came up with some official-looking specs. It comes from a Taiwanese customs website, looks to be an official document for import/registration in Taiwan. The 14B-T was mostly sold in Japan in 24V Dyna/Toyoace...

Hey all. My 80 has seemingly random lack of power. I'll drive 10 miles to a destination on road park and on the way back will have a lack of power going up, say an overpass. Or I'll get in for the first time of the day, drive 2-3 miles without issue then it lacks power. The first time this...

Anyone have a copy of the fsm they can share? I can’t seem to download it from any of the usual spots. TIA!

So am I correct that this is still not possible? Even for a dealer? I’m going to be putting on a set of Falken Wildpeaks and would like to get some 17” wheels and then have the speedo reprogrammed by the dealer. But from what I’ve read on the forum that can’t be done. Correct? Also...

The bearing on the engine fan of my 2003 LX470 started to make noise, and actually gave out while I was showing it to the mechanic. The mechanic replaced both the COOLING FAN MOUNT SERPENTINE BELT TENSIONER though I don't know if the serpentine belt itself was replaced. I've just called and...

Hi everyone, I'm super stoked to have just bought my first LC - a 2017 white on terra 200. I've been looking for one like this for ages and finally decided to pull the trigger. The car came with some unexpected extra parts that I wanted to see if anyone on this forum could make use of. Yours...

I’ve seen a few up but no harm in adding another. This is a GCC Spec FZJ80 so it runs open loop only. The only modifications include: Pacemaker ceramic header (no cats but that’s is standard for GCC spec) Iridium IKI6 5303 plugs Unifilter foam filter from Australia I had the vehicle...

im hearing/reading that previous standards are no more or hard to come by? are there new made any more or is it down to just regrinds? looking to build two 2fs and should have bought parts long ago.

Weirdest thing, I was driving and out of nowhere my dome light switched on. It was set to come on when the door is opened. It just randomly comes on and goes off as I drive with no apparent relation to speed or bumps in the road. The door open door warning light or chime does not come on, which...

I decided to swap a lock actuator to try and fix a broken lock. After getting the assembly out I am not sure the actuator is entirely at fault. The lock mechanism is stupid crusty and sticky. I was thinking of spraying it out with some brake clean or carb cleaner followed by a spray of lube...

Getting ready to swap transmission/transfer between my 2013 and 2015 200s. Why? See my build thread. While I'm in there (my favorite words), I figure I might as well replace the rear main on the 2015. Do I need anything more than the seal itself (p/n 9031195013)? There is also a rear seal...

Got me a running engine for my truck ... but the block is pretty crusty ... just wanted to make sure before going too far on the rebuild that there is no oil gallery on the exhaust side of the block where circled , picture is not mine

Finally chased down the turn signal issue (hacked in trailer plug) in my 82. Went to reinstall the instrument cluster. Plugged all up, turned key to on, behaved as expected. Started truck and the tac rose slowly to about 1500 rpm, and then stayed up, as if stuck. Started at zero, and after...

I am helping a good mate, who has an 05 UZJ with 2UZ-FE engine, that was making odd noises in the Brake Master Cylinder system. Brakes were still working well, but he asked me to check it, seeing I was doing other work on the vehicle. I pulled the system from the vehicle & disassembled what I...

Wow, I just took a look and it's been over 4 years since I posted up on this board! Some of you may remember me - my name is Greg Steffens and I was the co-owner of DiamondRax Roof Racks. Starting in about 2014, we fabricated and sold the modern equivalent to the original Con-ferr racks...

I have read up on this but wanted to make sure I had the latest info. Looks like auto custom carpets and stock interiors end up being about the same price when choosing their top of the line carpet with mass backing. Each was just a little over $700. Stock interiors and ACC each have mats but...
