  3D Printed Bushings

  By 383Mazda

  This got a lot of attention on FB so I figured I'd make a post. TLDR: I 3D printed and installed bushings for an IPD torque rod on one side of my 240 wagon on 6 Apr 2025 @ 144xxx miles. I drive around 5000 miles a year, so we'll see how long they last. Back story: Last fall I noticed a torque rod hanging down when my wife pulled into the driveway. The chassis end bolt had come lose and backed out, and I lost the metal sleeve and one of the bushings. Unfortunately IPD doesn't sell... Read more

  Cruisers & Co + Wholesale Automatics + HGM A750F Transmission Swap

  By Cruisers and Co

  As early as 2006 people were asking for someone to develop a swap for the A750F transmission to replace the A442F and A343F that are in 08/92 – 01/98 FZJ80’s and LX450’s…. Well that day has come! Cruisers & Company has teamed up with Wholesale Automatic Transmissions (WAT) of Australia to bring the A750F dream to reality. As the North American distributor/development partner for WAT this was one of the things we asked them to help us bring to market when we became their partner. As WAT’s... Read more

  Radiator overflow tank full

  By Welsh Jeepster

  Hi all, Just noticed on my 1980 FJ40 that the radiator expansion / overflow tank is full. I’m not sure it’s due to overfilling because when I first purchased the vehicle approx 6 months ago, the levels looked good. Seems something is pushing coolant into the tank. Rad cap looks to be in good condition. Also noticing the engine struggling at higher revs and when going up a hill but I’ll drop that one on a separate post ( hoping it’s not connected) Engine starts and runs fine... Read more

  My GV60 orange light is getting weirder...have not seen this aberration mentioned before...

  By Hanabanana

  My Nov 15, '25 post, below, mentions the fingerprint sensor illuminating when the orange lamp is doing its thing...odd enough...but... Recently I noticed (the car is parked right under a front room window making observation easy) that the orange lamp itself is glowing at two different intensity levels...repeatedly cycling through brighter, which I am interpreting as 'normal' (just by eyeball) and dimmer. I saw and recorded this going on for about 5 minutes before getting on with life. Just... Read more

  Alternator, not water pump

  By kydave19

  Yikes!! First major repair on new-to-me '89 240. Driving to market, loud screeching noise, all dash warning lights came on, temp gauge normal. Pulled into market, shopped and let car cool down. I'm only a mile from the house thought I'd drive home on side streets, pulling over periodically if need be. Screech noise went away, but all warning lights still on. By the time I got home temp gauge climbed up. Popped hood and lots of gurgling coming from coolant reservoir (which has been... Read more
