The other place water can leak into the truck is behind the brackets that the inner guards bolt up to. The brackets have a groove on the top that lets water in and a bung on the bottom to keep it in. Bead cases can rust through the firewall. Remove the bung (throw it away) and clean out...

The wings don't need sealing to the body. The water can leak from the front corners of the sunroof (not the drains, further in board. The headlining is waterproof so the water can run down without leaving wetness or staining. My truck is getting a new windscreen tomorrow as the old one has a...

Like the first response. “WHY” would you convert a full time 4wd vehicle that was designed to be like that to part time 4wd. The cost of the kit alone would take forever to recover in the miniscule mpg increase. Would you convert your AWD Audi’s or Subaru’s to Part time??

The rear sunroof drain tubes exit the vehicle behind the rear wheels. The front sunroof drain tubes run down the A pillars into the sill cavities on each side. The sills have the bungs fitted from the factory but also have slit drains that shoul allow the water to continuously drain from...

This part number has 2 x threaded holes for water temperature sensors. 16304-17030.

Could you share the size or part number. Thanks.

I painted my swivel hub balls with POR15 about 7 years ago because they were getting a little sad looking. That is the hardest paint I have ever come across. they sell a small starter kit with a the components that you need for prep. I left the paint to harden for a few days and then...

Oh and amayama.com is an excellent source of parts.

Toyodiy will help out. Here is a link to the page: ToyoDIY.com - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club]. I believe that you will be pleased with the result.

You dont need to have the diff locked to remove it. The only time it “needs” to be locked is if you are doing a front axle service. There have been reports of people having trouble getting one of the axles back into place if they dislodge the locking mech in the diff. I have never had this...

Not so. Even if the rear diff does not confirm locked (dodgy limit switch or wires ripped off switch) the front diff will lock.

“I don't believe Toyota ever intended for the center to lock in high range as there is no 80 model from the factory that allows this function. And to do so requires a full understanding of what is going on mechanically or one risks damage to the drive line, person, or both.” Wel someone at the...

On the 12 valve hdj81 there are two lights on the dash for the turbo. The green one indicates that the turbo is making boost and from looking at my boost gauge it seems to come on at about 3-4 psi so not the best indicator but better than nothing. The red light comes on at approximately 15...

Have a look at red-winches.com under their Albright contractors. They have data sheets that give good information about wiring for winch motors. I would either raise the winch or lower the fairlead to make it all line up better. The loading on the cable as it changes direction over the...

You can change the motor direction by swapping the black wires around. It changes the direction of the field current relative to the armature. Drum rotation is important for correct brake operation. The hawse fairlead should be reasonably close to the height of the cable coming of the drum...
