    Knuckle Rebuild-Axle Advice

    By Fratzog

    Hi all, I recently picked up a '96 80-series and noticed it needed wheel bearings. Found the culprit was an untightened outer spindle nut that came off right when I took the spindle off. The star washer was only bent around the inner nut by a previous job. Digging in further it seems like this may have caused some extra wear on the brass bushing inside, and the axle shaft. Just wanted some advice on whether or not to go for a whole new axle. It seems like the tool for driving in the axle... Read more

    FJ60 power steering on ‘78 FJ40 parts list

    By REDDER1

    All I’ve searched and the results are overwhelming and all over the place with opinions and suggestions. What I need help with is a straight forward list of parts I need to convert a 1978 FJ40 (uS-LHD) that has a 1975 2F in it to POwer Steering using FJ60 parts. I’m not interested in Saginaw or elect steering. Does anyone have the complete list of FJ60 parts and brackets for this upgrade? Thanks

    Replaced rear level sensors, new baseline height?

    By CRab

    I’ve recently replaced my level sensors and now I’m sitting on the bump stops. I can put the suspension on High and it will rise and stay there overnight, so I know I don’t have a leak. I have a Launch device and I’m able to go into test mode and raise it and drive around, however as soon as I reset by turning it off and back on the “normal” height goes back to sitting on the bumps. I’ve tried putting it on jacks at the higher level, clearing all codes, doing the reset zero in the VSC... Read more

    Another Caliper for 354mm Brakes LX600, GX550, 3rd Gen Tundra?

    By bjowett

    New caliper time? There’s a possibility (?) that we can use the calipers listed in the title to upgrade the earlier rigs looking for the larger brakes. They may also be a suitable as a slightly improved replacement for the 2016+ units. I’ve been eyeing these for a bit now, but @turbo8 recently upgraded his 250 with the GX Calipers, and that has pushed me to write a post to pose the question, will they fit? That will come down to offset of caliper mounting ears. If they fit, we can go... Read more

    Do i love or hate AI?

    By YukonCruisers

    So I read an article today about a group of independent AI agents that were tasked with some math tasks, they found each other, discussed the merits of cheating, ultimately decided it was ok, decided it would be better to delete stuff to lower the chances of getting caught, then broke out and hacked a company before being discovered. That said, I have been struggling with the pig, I have a driveline rattle i have not been able to sort. So last night I asked AI about it, it came up with 5... Read more

    Where to smoke test

    By bgolfer71

    Sorry for the dumb post but I am getting p0171 and 74 codes. Did a smoke test through the air intake and found a few bad hoses and replaced them. Still can't seem to get the codes cleared. Should I be doing a smoke test from the other side through in intake manifold also or would the original test expose all of the possible leaks?

    I’m upgrading my 2008 halogen headlights to 2013 and just received my eBay specials. I just noticed the orange blinkers are different…were they different across 2013-2015 or did I just purchase US market vs rest of the world lights? Both are Toyota OEM

    Fall Crawl - Who's Going from ONSC?

    By JohnVee

    It's less than a month out from Fall Crawl now. Who here is planning to go? Is anybody registered but still on the fence about it? I'm gonna hate the fuel expense and venue fees but I'm pretty sure the only thing that'll keep me home will be rain with severe cold. I won't be wheeling because the trails I miss the most up there are not doable in any of my current trucks, so I'll do a ride along or just hang in camp most of the time. It's beautiful place to relax when the sun is out. FC... Read more

    Shipmag for the win

    By dazerb

    I really appreciate the craft of some of the cruiserheads on mud! Shipmag creates these well built bypass hoses for trans-tc ... think they work more to relieve pressure in a hot transfer case. Beautiful. Even though i drained and topped off both... they both needed another half quart or so. No leaks.

    Braking issue on my 1978 BJ40

    By YonTW

    I recently bought a 1978 BJ40. It’s in great condition, except for the brakes, which weren’t working at all. After taking them apart, I realized many parts were rusted or damaged. So, I replaced all the wheel cylinders, the master cylinder, and a few damaged hard lines. I bled the system, but on the first test drive, the vehicle pulled sharply to the left, even with light braking. I bled the system repeatedly until I was certain there were no air bubbles left. I checked the installation... Read more

    3rd Row Seats Power Tap without cutting or splicing OE harness

    By THEOZMAN

    Hello Folks, I have found a way to harness the 2 3rd row seats power circuits that are fused at 30A directly from the battery and always on without messing with OE harness. The OE wiring are not really rated for 30A but it can be safely used for around 15A of constant use and a spike within 30A. The GX460 are the worst in terms of providing power outlets to the rear cargo are and with these connectors, you can get up to 25A to power anything you would like (1 connector for each side merged...

    General a/c work

    By TexLexican

    My ‘99 has only ever had a compressor changed out and soon will need a new one. Is it best to change out a lot of the other components while the refrigerant is out? Or should I see if anything leaks while under pressure and only knock those out? I want to prevent having to discharge multiple times but also not go overboard on parts.

    Oil Pressure 3/4 With Oil Change and Sensor Replacement

    By thindart1990

    Hey guy hoping someone can help me out. My oil pressure is at 3/4 both on Highway and at idle. I changed the oil with proper oil weight (sent old oil off for testing), and replaced the oil pressure sensor. The gauge slowly creeps up to this level. Cruiser just rolled 325,000 miles and runs strong, doesn’t show any weird signs and previous oil was pretty clean from the looks of it after 18 months and 3,000 miles. Any thoughts? Thinking about dropping the oil pan and checking for... Read more

    1inch wheel spacers

    By slicky rick

    It's been a while since. I have a 2018 lc200. Iv levelled the truck right to left there is practically no.lean.. everything is also almost original apart from bilstein shocks up front.. i put in 1 inch wheel spacers and now I have this quite firm steering when moving. The steering wheel is centered and the tendency to return to center is quite exaggerated. Yet the truck is sensitive to road irregularities. I have oem 18inch wheels. I thought this was a very conservative mod that it wont... Read more

    Got Shafted

    By HoundDog

    It’s midnight. I have get up in five hours for work. Up late installing a twin stick kit. The shaft on my split case that controls high/low fell into the case. WTF? Is the only solution to pull the entire transfer case now? No way I’m getting it back out from the top with only two inches of clearance. Like my grandma used to say….so mad I could spit! 1980 FJ40, H42 + split case
