Can someone guide me to get my turbo working. I am pretty hands on actually doing the control arm bushings in my 82 diesel mini now. I would like to get my turbo otr. It needs chain done, solenoids in the tranny and the turbo fixed. My 88 is just like this truck.

I have a 94 2wd I am scrapping soon and wanted to know if the calipers and rotors will interchange to my 1st gen I have yet to get road ready. Anyone got a good list of what I need to scam before I junk it. I know to take the new idler arm off i put on it, shocks won't fit I don't think. Rear...

Sunroof, good A/T TWO WHEEL DRIVE good tailgate/glass. 3.0 blown head gasket. I am going to have to scrap it soon and it has a nice body and tan interior. 600.00 minus wheels come get it. or parts 4sale text me I'm not on here much, been busy. 7067401086 All complete right now...

2nd gen Whole or part out. 700.00 whole w/o wheels. I can take parts off and ship. Located 30293. Very straight body. Good auto trans. Blown head gasket. Sunroor and rear window work. https://www.flickr.com/gp/150003165@N05/q69s83 https://www.flickr.com/gp/150003165@N05/12E65P...

Fuel gauge Doesn't work, any ideas on that. The filler tube doesn't sit right so the tank may have been changed?? It was flashing like it was full but on filling the low fuel light is now on.

I have all my stuff coming to arrive this week to work on her. Drove around 40 miles in her. Cleaned up pretty good. Still have to clean the inside. I'm not so sure the turbo is working. The gauge reads funny. I got my solenoids for the tranny off ebay. Seller said the 2wd 4wd are the...

Thanks, ordered the bushings. Going to change fluid this weekend and see what kind of issues this beast has. Have all hoses coming and tune up items.

Thought I would ask a couple questions: Whats the reliability of these automatics and cost to rebuild. Upgrades available, bulletproofing? The shift lever is sloppy left to right? Parts recommendations from ENGBLDR to get road worthy. I may pay someone to do it as I don't have time right now...

I'm hoping to make this my final go to vehicle for life. I'm 54. Wouldn't mind changing this to a 5 speed and have the stuff but my offroad use will be minimal. I also have dreams of an OM617 swap but not on a oem turbo. Digital dash works. I am considering changing the windows to manual...

Haven't been around 4 awhile. My son thrashed the other runner so it sits awaiting engine work. This popped up for sale about 2 hours from me so I went for it couple weekends ago. It cranks and runs, little chain slap. Makes a horrendous noise up from on the right side and lacks power...

Seems like a good choice over even OME coils. The leafs on mine seem completely shot. They have several choices at Summit. Not sure what the differences are. Anybody know? See one has a 1" lift...

1972 Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser Thought some of you guys might be interested. not mine just saw it

I peeled and sealed with the frost king brand from Home cheapo and used p and s from mcmaster carr. Never smelt an odor. Guess summer heat and Ga sun will be the test this summer. I can smell the new carpet!

Ditto on Crutchfield. Only place to purchase car audio. Speakers and amps can be found cheaper but buy the head unit from them for unlimited phone support and free install kit. A vendor you will not remove from your contact list.
