Did not know that, thanks for the clear up! -
My '92 Landcruiser: Safariwagon-II

Once I get the suspension kit, I will have access to a vehicle lift and wood burning stove (Thanks to Jboy) which will make this install that much easier and I won't have to freeze. I think this will be the biggest Land Cruiser in Waukesha CO. Interesting fact, Toyota only imported 15,000 Land Cruisers with the 3F-E 4.0 Straight-6 and A440 trans into the U.S before the 1994 debut of the 1FZF-E 4.5 Twin Cam Straight-6 with the A442 trans (aka Bus Transmission) so this here '92 is something to be had. -

New Genuine fuel filter straight from Lafayette, IN Toyota. The filter which was in there was a Wix, and was loose and installed the wrong way. New filter, high gloss thick power coat black with new bracket, shouldn't rust a while. One thing I like about the Toyota Vs. Subaru is, the fuel lines attach to the filter with two Banjo bolts (Like a Brake Caliper) Over engineered to say the least. :cool: -

Now have JDM white/clear corner lights with orange HP LEDs from superbrightleds.com, and aftermarket clear turn signals. Looks pretty nice I think. Looking at getting an OME 3" lift kit from either Slee or some other supplier (Looking at close to $1,000 for the kit) My truck leans to the left a little, probably a weak spring which the 80s are notorious for, being such heavy beasts.

Little more low end torque, and a nice sound.

Small dent removal

Rob, I like that idea. Its a lot easier to come by as well. At work, I have cans of Gum Remover which get as cold as -230 Deg F. I should snag a few for "Personal Use" -
Small dent removal

I see the concave, if you remove the fender you could probably just press that concaved part back out with the palm of your hand. You might want to remove that molding and flex that back straight too (Its a metal strip coated in rubber) You can sometimes get old dry ice from food stores for free, from what I have seen, you just place the dry ice over the area until the dent pops/springs back to original form. -

If there is no crease, you could try the old dry ice trick. Uninsure motorist only covers Medical if you only have comp/liabilty. -
Blasting, Sealing and Powder coating should run you about $300 for all four wheels, I did the pugs on my wagon a few years ago. It is totally worth the fundilation for a super smooth and durable finish.

A better IAC is what fixed the issue. The Sensor inside the IAC which reads water temp failed and was giving inaccurate readings. $20 IAC fixed the issue which has gone on for 6 months. Cleaning an IAC is a waste of time for the most part I have found, if you have it off, replace it with a better lower milage part.

Finally think I have solved the whole lumpy low idle when cold thing. Swapped in another IAC from the junkyard, seems to be doing its job much better the original IAC. True test will be tomorrow from a completely cold start. IAC was $20 from the local yard.

Subaru does like to use older parts or methods on newer vehicles (Not only on the transition years either)

Don't forget, The One, The Only, The Original, Ultimate RX from Subarutex http://www.subarutex.com/ultimate-rx/ -
Was able to score a IAC and genuine Intake from the Jackyard for $25 total! Not bad since a new IAC is like $300. Am thinking this might solve the Lumpy cold idle and white smoke.

Ah, I will have to take better note of the two then as I didn't notice the different keying. I can't wait to get the new housings, since the Outback style has a much better reflector and lense design. I am gonna run 35w 6000k HIDs in place of the standard bulbs as I've done on all my vehicles.
