I'm assuming he's talking about Kelvin Glover from CarTune NZ website: https://thecartunecompany.co.nz/ YT channel with a bunch of good info: https://www.youtube.com/user/CartuneNZ Although, this company is right here in the US and also offers wire harness services, been around since 2005...

If I had to do it over, I might go with a 3UZ - it's the same exact dimensions and offers more torque with the same HP. Added benefit is that is uses AFS exhaust sensors (aka, wideband) instead of oxygen sensors for better fuel economy, but requires an electric accelerator pedal (no cable to...

This link should help a bit. You can get pigtails or just the connector shell - if the wire is good, I would recommend just the shell so you don't have splices as a possible failure point. If you look VERY closely at the back of your connector, you'll see a tiny 5 digit number, that 5 digit...

You won't regret it, I recommend going with an R trans for a bit more drivetrain strength if you can. I went with the VVTi version for the extra 50 hp and kept the immobilizer so I know the truck will stay where I parked it. When you get to that point, everything you need to know about wiring...

wow, guess it's been awhile - sometimes I miss the vibe that forums used to have a decade ago, but, for me at least, it's difficult to find the time to play around online anymore. The last year or two has seen a bunch of new mods, mostly aimed towards "faster/more fun in the dirt" 300hp 1UZ...

Wow, thread back from the dead. I'm still upset over the photobucket debacle . . . Good job ultraclyde.

I had the same issue, and ended up using some cheap HomeDepot universal stick-on EPDM weatherstrip to seal the tailgate to the body a bit better

On that note, here's one driving Sweep/Recovery again from the Nameless Rally in/around Shelton, WA haven't been exploring as much as I would like lately . . . still getting out in the dirt though

Don't know if he sold it yet (ever?), but Oleg from Irbis Offroad made pretty cool camper back Toyota http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/28316-Expedition-Camper-by-IrbisOffroad (BTW, his website doesn't exist anymore)

One thing to be aware of is that the RX300 has a pretty huge turning radius, just over 20' IIRC. The RX330/RX400h and later models cut that down to right around 18' - it might not sound like much, but it is noticeable. Out of the RX series, I like the interior & design of the RX300 best. The...

Thanks, and good luck with the new toy

"What's really funny about this picture that most of you probably don't know is that they're pissing against the wall of this new super-exclusive, newly constructed golf club for the rich and famous in Peru." *BTW, that would be co-pilot Kellon Walch of the Clark County, NV FD & the first...

There's some content here: http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/motorsport/dakar/ Planet Robby, as well as the other teams, usually post up some videos and updates: http://www.planetrobby.com/ you can guess who I'm cheering for. I'm curious if any of the other drivers jumped the presentation...

A twisted wire cup brush mounted on an electric angle grinder would also do wonders to abrade the sharp edge off, and probably save a bunch of time while doing a more complete job of it - just use a piece of junky plywood for backing to support the mesh while you work on it. The kind below is...

Where are you in Oregon? You can always skip the full rally build and hit up the rallycrosses that the awesome peeps at Oregon Rally Group put on - it'll get you in the dirt quicker + ORG just got permission for a new venue in Vancouver WA that is HUGE. Let me know if you want more info. This...
