Some of you might remember me for my 1989 Toyota SAS pick up and then later a 1995 Toyota Land Cruiser 80 series. Man, do I miss those vehicles. I sold the '89 to buy the 1995 and spent a lot of time and money decking it out and taking trips, but unfortunately financial reasons forced me to...

Offered for sale is an Engel Transit Slide Lock for Engel portable 12 volt refrigerators. I used it for an Engel MT-27 and it should fit at least those models. This is a used part that does work, however, the feet that mount to the bottom of the refrigerator to help it lock into this...

I haven't updated my build on this site for a long time. Haven't really updated anywhere. This is my original build thread. Unfortunately, looks like all the pictures are gone, so if noone minds, I'd like to start a new one. Giving a general overview first and then adding some details...

I have a quick article with pictures that I put up on my site about replacing just about the entire cooling system on my '95 FJZ80. Might be useful for anyone considering doing the same thing or partial overhaul anytime soon. http://www.brian894x4.com/ExpeditionLCMajorcoolingoverhaul.html

This is on a 1995 FZJ80. Pics are coming, but not up yet. What started out as just intending to replace the PHH and maybe a few heater hoses, looks like I'm going to end up with a entire brand new cooling system before I'm done. My main question here is that now that I'm completely torn...

I’ve been wanting to try out a back up camera system for a while now, but it wasn’t until I saw one the other day, that I sort of had this impulse to really give it a try. I looked around at a bunch of different systems. Including some camera/LCD combos and separate camera and LCDs. You...

This is what I finally did to install a transmission temp gauge. I know a lot of people have installed senders in the lines, and other various places, all of which are nice set ups, but I wanted something simple and easy. I wanted to install the sender in place of the drain plug. The...

I'm thinking about adding a transmission temp gauge this weekend. The problem is I can't figure out where to put the sender. I've got a '95 FZJ80. Do any of you have a set up like this and where did you install the trans gauge sending unit? Any ideas would be appreciated.

Does anyone know of anyone who sells Toyota OEM parts at the same or close to the same discount as C-dan over on Mud, and also has the some knowledge about 80s? C-dan is buried and there's 55 mudders ahead of me trying to order parts. I'm sure I won't be able to get through until later in the...

If you could put an HID bulb into any off road light out there, which one would it be? The key being the light has to accomodate H3 bulbs. And I'm looking for mid to long range. I think sort of like a Eurobeam. The reason I ask is that I have retrofitted a pair IPF 986s to run 55w HIDs...

In case anyone has missed it, check this thread out on mud. http://forum.ih8mud.com/80-series-tech/206807-upgrading-stock-alternator-130-150-amp.html Basically, someone figured out how to adapt a 130/150 amp Toyota Tundra/Sequoia alternator to the 1FZ fairly easily. All you need is a special...

:D OK, OK....only for a few days. I have a sweet deal through my work. We rent cars on a regular basis since we travel between facilities a lot and as an employee I can rent them as personal vehicles fairly cheap. The moment I saw that they had a few brand new 4Runners, I had to try one...

This may not be the place to put this thread, but I don't venture much outside the Land Cruiser section, so please feel free to move it, if its better suited to a more general section.... This how I basically made some fairly decent quality HID driving lights, for a grand total of $250 for two...

These are totally poser pics, but my wife and I went to the Oregon Coast yesterday and the weather and sunset was pretty amazing for February. The pics are on the 15 mile long beach between Gearhart and Astoria that people are allowed to drive on. The shipwreck is the Peter Iredale, which...

OK, so I made a colossal mistake and it’s pretty darn embarrassing to have to fess up about it, but I need some advise. Basically, I used some short screws to bolt a box to my driver’s side passenger floor and the fuel tank was closer to the floor board than I realized. Apparently, it’s right...

Scott, I just read your article on the artic expedition in the Overland Journal (great article and of course, great mag!) You mentioned using the Scanguage to monitor both water and transmission temps in the article. I have a scangauge for my Land Cruiser, but the codes to monitor trans...

I recently purchased a Scangauge after reading about it on Mud and that thing is just awesome! Well, anyway after viewing the intake temps and reading a few threads on Mud, I wondered it would be possible to lower the intake temps by insulating the air filter canister and piping. This was...
