:thmbup: She's a beauty!

The van is a uni-body (no separate frame) so to make the hitch strong I took advantage of everything available. The hooks to which you're referring...

Nice hitch! I can't help but ask about how part of it mounts to the recovery hooks on the back, is that hmm hard to describe, alright in a way? Or is...

FYI, although there are variables, a heavier tow vehicle will typically be more stable than a light one (you don't want the tail wagging the dog). Of...

Thanks for the document @timsrv - very helpful. Nice work on the new hitch: impressive. @Burntboot: agreed. And yes I think it includes the...

Thanks Gwen. I have already confirmed that the valve is open, so it is purely an issue of no water flow. Tools

I fabricated a class III hitch for my 87 2wd cargo van today. This van has leaf springs. It's very strong, clears everything, and the spare tire rack...

Thank you I’ll measure it

You can find documentation on the heater hose routing for US Vans HERE. Water (and/or coolant) is circulated through the heater hoses entirely...

Hi. why not also fit a reverse camera at the same time? I fitted a reverse camera to my 1998 commuter. I think it only required running one cable...

Van looks great, keep us posted on the sale!! Good luck!! JDM

Sorry your going thru that with your van but please show us more when you have a chance!!! :thmbup::clap: Thank you JDM

Ok, I've gotten the head off and have a pretty good idea of the extent of the damage. The cam is snapped in 2 places. You can see dents from...

I think a banana dance is in order :dance2::dance1::dance1::dance1::dance2: :thmbup:

It is an '86. That looks exactly like the part that I need. Thanks a bunch, I really appreciate it!

That power-in line was the only one I wasn't able to get off when I greased the others a few days ago, because I didn't take the coil off when I did...

That's the power steering pressure hose that goes from the pump to the steering rack. Assuming this is for the 86 listed in your profile, I would...

You're the man. It is the coil, not the distributor. I haven't taken it off yet so I don't know why, but I covered the distributor with foil and...

Yes, fortunately I have a large indoor workspace. Hopefully it's just the heads that need work and the motor doesn't need to come out, but if it...

I recently replaced my differential on my 93 liteace. I went with a different gearing (f302. 3.7 ratio). anyway I have the old one if you need it....

Sorry no mirrors left. Yes, that's the nameplate that goes under the front windshield. It's best if you measure the dimensions. Ive got a couple...

Do you have the driver side mirror? Also in the photos is the body part with Toyota written on it the white part is that the part under the front...

Great idea. I will try that before and after I change the cap, rotor and add a new heat insulator if I can find one for a non-exhorbitant price

Sorry to hear that man. But happy to hear you are willing to try it yourself :thmbup: the insta pics from vanlifenorthwest sometimes show them...

Yeah, these type problems can be very frustrating. I have no problem zoning in on problems when they remain. It's the intermittent ones that I...

Oh, I had already forgotten about that. Whatever it was it only happened once and never happened again. That CEL is back to staring at me all the...
