    DIY Front Winch Bumper Kits

    Sorry for being late to the party. I'm interested in a fully built one with the powdercoat if you're still taking orders.

    Engine help

    Firstly, are you sure that the engine has completely died and you need a new engine? Unless you have a ton of forbidden glitter in the oil filter or lower oil pan, or unless you have an extra inspection hole in the block, these 1FZ-FE engines are robust and can be rebuilt. Colorado, and the...

    I'm interested. Any idea on how much it weighs and do you offer fully built ones?

    Sunroof/Moonroof Delete

    I want to get rid of it and I'm not going to be able to do this myself. Is this something that a mechanic can do, or should I look for a specialist/body shop to do it? Thanks.

    I actually prefer driving a left hand drive car in the UK. Due to the lack of shoulders on the smaller roads, you have to drive quite close to the hedges especially when there is an oncoming car. I can better gauge how close I am to the side in a left-hand drive car. It's slightly more difficult...

    Hello

    I'm not sure which Land Cruiser you have, but there have been people (with D4D models) with similar issues that were resolved when they cleaned, or replaced, the red and green suction control valves on the back side of the fuel injection pump.

    Finally, you should perform some maintenance: 1) Prices for genuine Toyota items are expensive here. I don't know who long you will be here for, or how much mileage you plan on driving, but I purchased an extra fusible link, oil filters and washers, and air filters to last me for about 30k...

    Another thing to remember is to bring your AZ plates (tags) with you (either leave them in the truck prior to shipping or pack them in your luggage). If Arizona requires that turn in your plates, then any other States' plates will do. You cannot legally drive your vehicle in the UK without...

    I passed the MOT (first try) without any mechanical, safety, or emissions issues. I realize that that the MOT is standardized, but I think how merciful the person performing the MOT plays a factor. As for the undercoating, do it. I used Lanoguard. It is the UK version of WoolWax and Fluid Film...

    89 Turbo Diesel Arriving Soon - Looking for US Parts source

    That's awful. Sorry you have to deal with this. That top was likely taken and is in the process of being refurbished (some damage likely occurred to it). It'll probably show up on eBay or Craigslist, maybe the MUD classifieds. The transport company needs to compensate you for the top--no matter...
