    JT Outfitters issues?

    By Yoda

    Back in August I ordered rear disk brackets and rotors for my 76. Card was charged, shipping # received, est delivery Sept 3. Never showed up, UPS says they never received the order. Sent JTO an inquiry on their "customer support" board. Never got a response. Now it is a month after the order placed. I left a new message on their board to just cancel my order and refund my charge card. How can a company survive being like this?

    1HZ vs 1HD-T - Pros and Cons

    By beingbeforedoing

    Hi all, I am new to the site and I'm considering buying either an HZJ80 or HDJ80 LHD and importing to the US. Admittedly, I suck at using the search function, but I'm surprised that I've been unable to find a breakdown of the differences - good and bad - between the 1HZ and the 1HD-T engines. In an effort to educate myself (and others), I'd like to solicit the opinions of all crusty, old, curmudgeons on the vices and virtues of each engine. What do people like about one and not the other... Read more

    Cruiser Patch 2003 LX470 Build Thread

    By cruiserpatch

    That's right we got another one. Figured I should break into the mid-late 100 series model years to be able to develop products for them and test fitment etc. This one will primarily serve as the wife's DD but will also be a sleeper build. So far I've baselined it (see list) but will be upgrading things as time allows. 184,000 miles with some rust, a terrible paint job (looks good from 10 feet), horrible body work and a whole host of other problems. Perfect. Paid $5,800 for it which was... Read more

    Engine Coolant 5.9 Engine

    By Scotto58

    2000 Ram Sport 1500 4X4 5.9 Engine. I pulled the radiator cap to check the coolant level and this is what I found: What would cause this? I have never seen this in any other radiator I've had. Also, the coolant in the overflow tank appears to be orange, maybe gold color. Would that be HOAT coolant? Thanks for any in site you can provide. Scott

    Intro

    By palmtree191

    If this isn’t allowed, let me know. New to this. A Land Cruiser has been a dream of mine for a while now. Neighbor has a sweet FJ62 with turbo diesel. But he convinced me an 80 series was the move for a first LC, especially with my family. So here I am! My “issue” is I currently drive a 15 Tundra with 90k miles. We already have a family vehicle and I can’t justify owning 3 cars at the moment. The truck is mainly used for hauling and hunting (multiple deer/elk a year). Only tows a raft... Read more

    Bug deflector for 2500 with sport hood

    By jejb

    Picking up a '27 2500 this week with a sport hood. Trying to find a bug deflector for it. Most of them say not for sport. I am having problems finding anything that specifically says it will fit a sport hood. Seems like anything that will fit a regular 2500 hood should work, but I can't confirm that. Any help would be appreciated.

    LX470 Headlight Upgrade: TEQ Customs vs. Lightwerkz, Real-World Experiences?

    By Ray J

    Yeti, my 2007 LX470 with the original halogen projector headlights needs an upgrade since it’s 2026, almost 27. The factory lenses are still clear and in excellent condition, but I’m looking to improve nighttime visibility while maintaining as close to an OEM appearance as possible. I’ve narrowed my research to two options: TEQ Customs: OEM+ bi-LED projector retrofit, starting around $500. Appears to retain the factory appearance and offers modern LED performance. Lightwerkz...

    2007 LC + OEM Rear Locking Axle

    By GTV

    After years of searching I finally landed an OEM rear axle with a locker! Unit is claimed to have 282k and a bad pinion bearing. The axle is all I have. Going into this I knew I was going to need a matching 4.30 front diff and some sort of a harness but I'm learning there is a bit more to it than that. I'm starting this thread to document what it takes. I want it to function in a factory manner but it doesn't need to be 100% OEM parts-wise as long as it works correctly. My... Read more

    Sound deadening

    By ShakyHandJeff

    I'm planning on replacing my carpet this spring once it gets a bit warmer outside. I was planning on using the carpet from @tupelohoney with standard backing, since the mass backing is less pliable for install. While I'm at it, I'll take off the door cards to repair the speakers. This will be my opportunity for sound deadening. Does anyone have head-to-head comparisons of the brands? (Dynamat vs Kilmat vs Siless vs Soundskins)? Any consensus on recommendations? What mil for floor vs... Read more

    Lane assist - car seems to wander a bit off-center

    By jwmarc

    I have had my GV70 now for almost a month and I always have lane assist engaged. What I find is that the car tracks close to the left-center lane marking and then wonders back to the center...holds this for a short while and then may drift to the passenger side lane markings. I have had instances when the passenger side lanes arch off for a turn, one that I don't plan to take, I sometimes get a jerking pull to follow that line's arch.. Does anyone know if there is some calibration... Read more

    Does anyone have neon signs in the garage? I’m sure some folks have beer signs and maybe a few oil signs…please share any you may have collected. I’m making a neon sign for the garage from scratch and trying to pick a font is harder than I thought. Here are some cool signs a friend of mine has.

    New here: 940 2.3 turbo vs. a manual V70R, how do you guys see them?

    By Alejandro_XC70

    Hey all, Alejandro here. Originally from Tenerife, living on Fehmarn up in northern Germany these days, and my daily is a 2012 XC70 D3, so yeah, Volvo guy. I've always had a soft spot for the 940 with the 2.3 redblock turbo. Simple, tough, and from everything I've read there's a lot of room to turn it up without it coming apart. Then a few weeks ago I fell down a YouTube hole, ended up watching a manual V70R, and that interior got me. The seats, the details, the whole feel of the cabin. I... Read more
