Is pinstriping in Citrus or Ocala inevitable? I've got a new truck that doesn't have PPF or paint protection. Looking to hit some trails in the area and hopefully avoid destroying the paint. Any trail recommendations/feedback appreciated. Thanks!

Hi all, I have been chasing an intermittent stumble and occasional stall for some time now. neither the stumble nor the stall trigger a CEL, and the truck will start right back up and run like normal. Occurs exclusively at just off idle, when starting off from a light or stop sign. I have worked through lots of different diagnoses and replaced a number of parts: Harness is in good shape, no burns, rewrapped zip-tied away from EGR Replaced fuel pump with new sock New TPS IAC passes...

Do yourself a fav and lower tank a few inches, clamp above tank needs removal, yea you can struggle to do it without lowering but it’s easier to disconnect driveshaft and lower tank!

Warm pull cable /dash bracket. Pulls "smooth." I Don't recall the vintage of this part. Rubber grommet has a tear. $35 US plus shipping /duty from B.C. Canada.

Decent interior dome I pulled from a 1978 parts pig awhile back. Lens is really nice ( clear /not heat baked /micro fissures ) aside from a small side chip ( not super apparent once mounted ) Lever works well though no knob and has a bend. Overall a great option is your's is trashed (or non existent ). Asking $30 USD plus shipping and duty . Happy to forward further images. Shipping from B.C. Canada. Also have a few original glovebox door handles ( yes, the usual cracks though should... Read more

Hi, all. Just had my thread moved here from the 40 tech forum, as it seems more in line with the stock, preservation action I see here. Here I go, jumping into the deep end with my first LC. Just made a deal today on a ‘64 FJ40. Way stock, remarkably straight, very solid. One family truck for 50 years, second owner never titled it so I will “officially” be the second owner. Been sitting for at least 5 years, and only driven around the family property for years before that. Last... Read more

Trying to figure out what transmission to swap into my 96 and finding a used or new h151 is impossible but i have found the other 2. if you were to choose between the 2 brand new which would make more sense for 1fz. Both transmissions are from the VDJ76.

Further to my post about 2 alternators and their output, I'm looking at upgrading from a 60A alternator (stock on a 1990 22RE) to a 140A or 200A alternator. Those appear to be two of the options available that I can find. For those that have done an alternator upgrade, what fusing changes were made, if any? FWIW, the alternator manufacturer is saying to NOT put a fuse between the alternator and battery. If I'm reading my wiring diagram correctly, Toyota has several fuses in the... Read more

This was my 82 rig with sm420 35’s spring over Cheney 350. Custom bumpers miss her. Post your gnarly used rig photos!!

Remind me what is the MINIMUM disassembly required to replace the front diff centre (3rd member) on a full-time 4WD 80 series with OPEN diffs. I only need to slide the axles back far enough to clear the diff centre. From memory, I still need to pull the spindles to get the axle back far enough because the birf joints foul the back of the spindles?

These two lights are always on. No other lights are on. I tried the "zero point calibration" to no avail, but jamming a paper clip into the OBD ports and trying to time it isn't exactly what I would call "precise", so take that with a grain of salt. I searched this but in the threads I found, most people also seem to have another third light on. I have Carista but am unable to pull ABS codes. Shop did a quick scan and says an ABS sensor may be bad, but they wanted several hours worth... Read more

Hi all, I just picked up a 2008 LX570, with 79k miles. SoCal truck its whole life. I was looking at a 5th gen 4Runner but now that we have a 3rd kid on the way in November (that'll be 3 under 3) we needed something larger. It will serve as a family hauler during the week, and hopefully a camping rig on the weekend. The air ride is a plus for me, because I didn't want to drive a lifted truck around town. I'd like to be able to slap on a second set of wheels/tires before taking off for a... Read more

On my last F150 I had a button to a to ate the rear camera at any time. Really helpful with towing to check movement. Has anyone tried adding a switch to turn it on at any time?

I have an issue that’s reared it’s head after my valley pan repair and cooling system replacement and I could use some ideals on things to double check this weekend when I dive into it. I’ll note this has never been something that’s happened until right after I did the valley pan repair, water pump, thermostat and radiator replacement. Here’s what I know: occasionally, the GX will crank over for several seconds before it actually fires up. It always fires up (except maybe once). It also... Read more

I knew I was lying to myself when I bought my GX460 and told myself "this is staying stock". At the time, owning a high mileage 80 series and an almost too meticulously built 1st gen 4runner to daily drive, I spent about a year searching for really the only GX460 I thought was cool - an early model 2010-2013 in peridot mica, base trim, with preferably the sepia interior. I missed out on a few where I would call day after listing and the trucks were already sold. Early one Friday morning... Read more

I feel like I've read about this here, but my search only found similar, not the same issues. This is on my 2016 Toyota Land Cruiser. What has changed lately - it stays parked a lot more these days since commute in a different vehicle. I might use it once a week or less (I also have an 80 that I use on weekends). At times when I start the 200, I get a flashing 4 Lo and CDL warning lights. Usually, if I shut the motor off and restart it goes back to normal (no flashing lights). Something... Read more

After driving it around this past glorious fall weekend, and a few diplomatic yet strongly discouraging comments from my better half - the 60 will stick around... Ugh - killing me but our 60 spends 99% of her time parked in the garage or winter storage, and a new job is pushing me toward buying something more practical for frequent airport/road trips. Before I list it on Mud I wanted to offer it here. For those who have seen it, you know it's a great 60. Highlights and lowlights below... Read more

Hey Mudders, I need some assistance here. My 07 lX recently had a mishap and the LH tailgate mounted brake and reverse light was cracked. I ordered what I thought to be a plug and play replacement but while the lens/fixture looks identical, the wiring is different. The lamp has a 4 pin connector (Yellow, Black, Red, White) while the car and old light are expecting a 3 pin connector (Green, White, Black). Is there a way to swap the 4 pin connector down to 3? ...

Guys, I was thinking of getting recovery hooks for LC300. Then I went under and found this hook assembly. Is this a factory recovery hook? Looks like it is attached to the chassis and pretty sturdy.

My subwoofer was blown and I need a replacement that sounded better than stock, added a substantial amount of bass and if external could be removed to maximize storage area. After looking into it I decided on a 10" subwoofer which meant it wouldnt fit in the stock opening and required an enclosure. One of the main things I wanted to do was make it easy to add/remove so I installed terminals in the rear. Parts List: Subwoofer: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073JVXVD8/?tag=ihco-20 ...

Curious if anyone has integrated their sliders into the body by cutting out the bottom rocker area and using rectangular tubing instead of doing frame mount. Aside from the difficult of the cutting and welding, is there a down-side I'm not considering? I already have enough body damage and rust that I'm not concerned about de-valuing the truck by making a modification like this, I just haven't seen anyone do this with an LX/LC, so not sure if there's a reason beyond the invasive nature of...

i need to replace my metal dash and am looking for some advice. Other than the two main welds on the right and left hand side what other welds need to be cut? Do all of the spot welds under the dash pad need to be cut too? Thanks

Joe asked me if I could help out and get this to pass smog. It also failed because of the gas cap, that has been replaced. So first I tried to set the timing, its advanced. I pulled iff the inspection plate and marked the fly wheel bb and line with a paint pen. best picture I can get. It was stuck and wouldn't rotate. I spent an hour loosening the bolts tapping the side wuth a hammer and putting a wrench on it.
