    Delay Wipers and Factory Fog Lamp upgrade

    By scrad

    I have a plastic dash era 79 series and it didn’t come with delay wipers… how is that even possible? Feels so 60’s to me. Anyways, after some searching it seems everything is the same on delay vs non delay wiper trucks. Only the wiper stalk itself is different… pulled the part number online and did an interchange part search. Seems like this is the same part on a lot of 2010 ish era vehicles. Corolla, Camry etc. it is definitely year specific. I also found a great deal on a factory winch... Read more

    How would you go about fixing this? (dashboard leather)

    By flykas

    Any ideas how could I fix this leather the became unglued. I wonder why this happened. Maybe the leather shurnk because of the sun? Though the was dismanteled for painting and maybe got damaged in the process. I wonder if should even try gluing the are back somehow. Another thing is the cracking wood protection lacquer. I can get the wheel rewrapped, but I wonder what I could do with the wood part.

    Fj45 shortbed LS build

    By Builtbybudski

    Figured I’d do a build thread on my short bed build. pick it up a month or so ago, doesn’t look like much but it was complete minus a drivetrain and front/rear glass. Quickly put some real meats on and put all the sheet metal together to admire the purchase and my boys immediately hopped in. Pretty straight and rust free. A lot of metal work has been done but a few things I want to try to change like the flat back of the cab. another... Read more

    Reconstruction after rollover - building The Champ!

    By baldilocks

    I rolled my 94 and the body is done but mechanicals are fine. I want to pick up an 80 preferably one that's not operational so I have a foundation to build on with my parts. I prefer 94-earlier. I'm in CA so smog is an issue but I think that a newer model engine in and older cruiser would be no problem. Are there any major reasons why I would not want to attempt to put all my running gear in a 91-92? These years are the cheapest to pick up.

    Unobtainium

    By Racer65

    In a brake related thread I mentioned that I'm setting up a small shop to bring back some of the unobtainium products of the past. I'm starting this new thread to expand on some thoughts so that I don't hijack the other thread. As our hobby is expanding while the vehicles are getting older and more perishable items are becoming "NLA", it's getting harder to keep our vehicles stock. There are many creative solutions out there, but if you're like me, you want parts to be plug and play... Read more

    Anyone install a Switch-Pros kit?

    By Corbet

    If you’ve done an install my only real question is where did you connect to power? Is there a good place under the hood or does one have to route primary power from the battery up under the hood? I don’t really want to buy a power relocation kit but if that’s the only choice then I guess I’m one step closer to a winch install down the road.

    VALVE SUB-ASSY, SAFETY in dual gas tanks. what do they do??

    By CardinalFJ60

    I'm missing one of these things - there are supposed to be 2. I can't remember which one is missing with fuel lines just capped with M6's (or 8's). Obviously, like 90% of the remaining parts I need/want, these are NLA. or I'm not confident enough that it's really the right part. And, since they have to do with fuel delivery and the word "safety" is right there, I figure I should track it or both down. so, what do they actually do? Pressure relief for the tank? vapors and stuff go into the... Read more

    How to Clean Rear AC Evaporator and Blower

    By Patassa

    ....without disconnecting the refrigerant lines and depressurizing the system or removing housing from the vehicle. *disconnect negative battery terminal, first. I couldn't find this write up by anyone when searching, apologies if this has been done before, otherwise, hope this helps. I had the rear panels already removed because I'm doing some extensive sound deadening while replacing my carpet. I'll assume people know how to remove the panel that's covering the ac case, as well as the... Read more

    Lutz Auto Vehicle Speed Calibrator

    By xirforever

    I wanted to share my experience mounting and using the Lutz Auto speedometer calibrator. From what i could read here, it seemed like most people zip tied it to somewhere convenient, but I found another way that I thought could be useful to share. There is a grounding point under the vehicle that is in a great location to mount the device to, so I had some 1/8" aluminum plate laying around, cut it, drilled it, tapped it, and then mounted is securely. Its pretty easy and dimensions aren't... Read more

    By James Bentley

    Well, I decided to swap out my OEM alternator with a brand new made in USA unit from the people at BNR BNR PARTS ALTERNATORS AND STARTERS | eBay Stores Welcome to my eBay Store. Please add me to your list of favorite sellers and visit often. Thank you for your business. www.ebay.com I got the 11087 for my 2004 LX = 250A (4 pin connector) BNR did a great job packing around the alternator with numerous pieces of high density foam to insulate during shipping. Removal was pretty straight forward and no issues bringing it out the top. I did pull air intake to throttle body/air cleaner lid, drive b…

    My kid wanted a Jeep, she's getting a 77 FJ40 LS Swap instead

    By JKIII FJ40

    As the title states, like most kids her age she is slightly indecisive and easily influenced by others. She is 15 now and will be driving sometime next year, I asked her what she wanted to drive for her first car and she replied she wanted a "Jeep". When I asked her why, her reply was that she wanted to collect "ducks". I have enough parts left over from my build so I decided to find a basket case, in the Northeast that's about any 40 you can find as they are all rusted out and far from... Read more

    LX Subwoofer Replacement

    By UT08LX570

    Not a whole lot documented on the subject of sub replacement. Lots of guesses or "this is what you could do" so I figured I'd share my project. Sub replacement on 08 LX with ML. I went fairly cheap to make sure I could get it to work first. Let me start by saying I'm no audiophile. Maybe I'll tear it down again and go with a shallow audiocontrol sub and port the box for a little more rumble than punchy, but I'm content for now. The LX uses a 10" 8ohm sub compared to the 8" that the LC... Read more

    Upgraded Alternator Discussion - Your Experiences

    By CatchMoTrout

    Hi All, My 93 FZ-J80 has been struggling to charge my battery recently and I am at the crossroads of going OEM replacement on my alternator or upgrading to a sequoia alternator to get 130 amps of current. My use case for my truck will be overlanding and wheeling semi-difficult forest service trails, and I already have a winch on the truck. It's highly likely I add some lighting and new speakers, but no fridges, subwoofers, or anything with high current draw other than recovering. If you... Read more
