Eureka! Ok, I think I've figured it out, my prototype worked pretty well, the gear took power from the motor and moved the seat slide. Only issue was I didn't have the pitch quite right to manually adjust the seat with a 12mm wrench (overall, I'd consider it a win and "working"). Making a few...

Looking for a set of 3rd gen bumpers, I think ARB front is my top choice.. closest to VA gets preference. Interested in suspension parts too

I think it would be really hard to attach anything to the existing metal (other than by forming it around it); it has knurl marks like a barbell (you can see them if you look close). I can give heating and cooling a shot with the broken piece just for fun. The reality is if I fail at...

I modeled it last night after I made this post. (Or as good as I could on the actual teeth) I was going to 3D print it in the next day or so to test. My idea was once I was sure my gear worked to actually print a female mold that the metal shaft fit into and cast the gear out of epoxy with a...

Wanted to share my success with the group in hopes to help others: The bottom plastic was broken and leather deteriorated, I fiberglassed over the bottom, then removed the top fabric to expose the padding. Mine was a little screwed up so I put some foam (a sponge) in the void and did a carbon...

Has anyone had any luck with the replacement gear? The land cruiser one definitely doesn’t work, The tooth count doesn’t match. Hopefully these pictures help, it’s a 2 part piece that’s solvent welded together

This doesnt include a muffler, or people running straight pipes? interested in the bumpers, do you have a rough concept sketched out yet? Will it be stainless (that might be interesting).

Mine could def use replacing too... I wonder if there are any other models we could steal from, or aftermarket options?

That's sweet, I just picked up the same one... Your seats look amazing for the year, wish mine looked that good. I'm about to try and fabricate a carbon fiber arm rest (it wont be too comfy)... I'll let you know how it turns out. Did more end up being wrong with the engine than you thought?

I was in the same boat about a year ago... though I feel like aluminum welding is a more valuable skill and usually has some cross compatibility with steel. After tons of research, I opted to buy what I would consider the best "at home welder", the Lincoln Square Wave 200. I can TIG or Stick...

So I called Amazon and they said it was sold by Amazon and they listed the vendor as being purchased from Toyota. It still seems sketchy, but I was hoping that someone who had bought them before could chime in on what they remember seeing.

Thank you, I ordered the Parts off of Amazon, but the way they were packaged (some labeled, some without, and the box not being able to be closed) led me to question if they were OEM or a knockoff vendor. Please give me your honest feedback:

I just got my brothers old 2004 which was burning coolant. I've done testing and confirmed I have a HG failure... After doing a lot of reading I've realized its a very common issue, but I had a few questions: -What replacement Gaskets are people using? Auto parts store? OEM? -Anything else I...
