    Project 80 series for sale (is mine, lol)

    By dogfishlake

    I am listing my project truck (and parts truck) that, like several others, I just can't seem to finish. It is a 1996 triple locked 80 series that originally came from San Diego. I bought it from a friend and fellow Mud member from Florida. The original owner drove it from CA to Florida and blew the head gasket in FL. She walked away from it when she got the price tag to fix it. It was purchased without a title and then sold to me for parts. It is missisng some items I planned to pull off... Read more

    Snow Wheeling Day

    By PVCsnorkel

    As the temperatures drop and the snow looms closer, I would like to gauge interest on having a Snow Wheeling Day. This would just be a day trip, and the exact date is dependent on getting a heavy snowfall (6"+). I have a few locations of where we could possibly go, all local or State Forest trails. The trails would be mild when dry, as the snow changes the terrain and ramps up the difficulty. The more snow the more fun, so hopefully we get a good storm this year.

    Tundra TRD Pro Rims on LC250.

    By Randy B

    Found a set of takeoffs, and installed them yesterday on the LC250. Really happy with how they look. Widened the track by about 2 inches. Definitely fill the wheel wells and fenders better. Took the advice of others here and installed different center caps which match the Meteor Shower color really well and the flat black rims too. I ordered mine with the stock 18" wheels, so I moved the OEM Michelin's over to these rims from the originals.

    By Tak555

    With the help of MANY people (from IH8MUD to GXOR to google), I'm happy to report that I've successfully converted my GX470 from the stock/OEM navigation/stereo to an android head-unit with non-navigation climate controls. I'll document my experience here... *** FOR NOW, THIS THREAD WILL BE A WORK-IN-PROGRESS*** (It'll probably take me a few days to a few weeks to properly document everything here, but I'll try my best...)

    Family fishing trip

    By Silveredition

    Gday all! A couple of days back I got back from a 2 - week camping and fishing trip. We towed our 1982 boat 1700km each way with my 1988 hj61 - covering g about 4000km all up! We drove straight-through each way, taking 19 hours on the way there and 18hrs 45mins on the way home. Fuel economy was about 14.5L/100km on the way there and 20L/100km on the way home (105km/hr on cruise control with airconditioner on, with a headwind!!) Here are a few trips - made possible by a fantastic car - with... Read more

    The canal boat

    By Dusten

    This will be an ongoing thread. I don't want to call it a build because I have a 10 second 700hp lightning and a 66 f100 under going a restomod. This is more of a running rally of mods and maintenance. Yesterday 11/20/2021 I purchased a 1991 HDJ81 VX limited. It was imported 12/2020 with 184,833 km's. She has a 4.2L 1hd-t and a442f. Originally painted Blue slate metallic, it was painted black while in Japan. It has the k295 axle code. So LSD read and open front. It was... Read more

    My wife took the 200 to the car wash mid roof rack install - headliner flooded.

    By Carolinapanic

    Geez. What a day. I'm in the middle of installing a roof rack and dropped one of the little yellow brackets into the headliner causing me to pause the install on Friday. Unfortunately, I didn't pass the message onto my wife and she just took the car to the carwash. All the A pillars flooded given there was no rack in place. Just open bolt holes. I'm about to jump off a building. Mudders- assuming I need to drop all of the headliner and a pillars and let it sit so it doesn't become a... Read more

    Post pics of your dog(s)with your 80!

    By 1shot1kill

    I am not sure if this one has been done or not. But, I thought it would be good idea to see what type of dogs we have. I have a GSD. He is 11 months old. I have a lower ramp for him that extends out the back gate. It helps him get in&out of my LC given I am running 38s. He is already 80lbs. My pics will follow, as soon as I reduced them in size for posting.

So I thought I messed the cluster up... Read more

    Purchased 2016 GX, wet floors, can’t figure it out

    By danieltoyota

    Hello, I’m new here. We just bought a 2016 GX560 with 110k miles. We are so excited, but opened the car the other morning after some rain to find it smelled like a wet dog, just awful. Fast forward a week and here is where I’m at. - Sharkfin was completely loose and basically not attached. Fixed that, ran a dehumidifier over night and thought we would be good to go, but was not. - Did some more digging to find that the floor board carpet was soaking wet under the drivers seat, wet...

    2014 LC hesitates when cold

    By Tom From Athens

    When cold , the initial raising of the rpm’s ( entering a road), cause a 2-3 second hesitation. Normally not a big deal except my road is 55 mph. Afterwards, no troubles. I’m at 80,000. No check engine light. What should I do?

    FRAME UNDERBODY RUST

    By BOGOTA

    Gentlemen, my 2002 has hit a milestone of 300K, I have owned it for 20 years. I have a ton of money and maintenance into the rig, just replaced the master brake cylinder. Only using the truck in NY winters with dedicated Blizzak Tires past 8 years. Took some pictures of the underbody and not sure where to go from here. Looks bad, some of it flakes off to the touch. The concerning area is by the drivers door directly under where you would place jack, frame area. Anyone know if a frame... Read more

    Sunroof issues, how to fix

    By fastbee

    Today I was preparing to clean my sunroof drains due to getting a little drip during the last rain spell. I usually just give a courtesy glance at the outside before removing the glass and found what might be my main problem. It seems the back of the sunroof is sitting so low they the seal isn't even touching. I tried everything I could adjust to get it higher without any success. Went ahead and cleaned the drains but probably need to resolve this as it would appear to let water flow in... Read more

    Hope that name isn't taken! FINALLY I have a piggy again. It has been far too long. The body and frame and interior etc are amazing on this rig. Definitely has been restored at one point. Engine fires up instantly but smokes quite a bit. Looks like a chinese carb but he had a used weber in a box of parts that came with it. Anyone have a 1F OEM carb? Prob will test out a sniper on it eventually. No big plans for her right away. Too busy getting ready for Cruise Moab. Hey any piggy... Read more

Anyway, show me your Christmas decorated 40s, an dang ideas you might have for... Read more

    2h alternator sourcing help!

    By aaron9252

    Hi all, I've been dealing with a charging issue for several weeks now and currently have my alternator at an alt specialty shop. They inspected it and found the stator, rectifier and diodes all to burnt and need replaced. Due to being a 2h 24v with the vacuum pump, parts are essentially impossible to find. I've called beno and he was unable to find a domestic replacement as well. The shop wants to have the stator rewound and then they can rebuild. My question is what do you all think... Read more

Obviously club activities and future planning are currently on the back burner due to the Caronavirus. Hopefully in the not so-distant future we can plan our first club get-together.
