    HDJ100 2002 AT Trottle Problem

    By LutherLM

    Hi guys, I have the following problem and cannot find a solution. Sometimes it happens that the throttle doesn't respond. The engine starts normally, but the RPM cannot be increased. After a few attempts at turning it off and starting it up again, the gas pedal works normally. I bought the vehicle with the gas pedal already replaced. I'm attaching a photo of the error codes. The vehicle behaves the same way when I disconnect the “bottom” switch on the accelerator pedal. I would be grateful... Read more

    Low idle when HOT - next steps?

    By oestlarsen

    Hola, My 120K miles 92 FJ80 is having an idle "issue." I have searched various threads, and did a lot of PM, so I listed that below. Symptoms: 1.

    FJ40 Pics from "Back in the day" (70's, 80's)

    By msapers

    Does anyone have pictures from back in the day? To get started, this is me in front of my Dad's '75. Picture was taken in August of 1977. The 'cruiser had burbank springs, 32 inch Tru-Tracs on White spokers, Downey header, Holley carb and a Warn winch. My Dad used to take me on club runs in a car seat! I'd love to find this rig again. Hopefully it's aged better than I have!

    2021 GX460 NYC Daily Driver — CarPlay, Remote Start & Must-Do Mods

    By Joe Fast

    Hello all. Not new to the forum or Lexus trucks. I have a few rigs, including an LX470, and recently picked up a 2021 GX460 with 40k miles to use as my NYC daily. I plan to keep this one simple, comfortable, and reliable, but I have a few questions. First is CarPlay. Since the ’21 didn’t come with it, I bought the Phoenix Automotive Android setup. Before I tear into the dash, I’m curious what everyone’s experience has been. Any regrets, quirks, install tips, microphone/call quality issues... Read more

    77/78/79 Prado Suspension Tech Specs Needed

    By AirheadNut

    My LJ78 has a pretty significant stink bug stance (rides high at the rear) and I'd like to correct it by lifting the front to match. I currently have what I believe to be OME standard load springs in the front with 30mm spacers and OME medium load springs in the rear. Ride height measured from wheel center to wheel arch is 22-3/8" rear (57cm) and 20-3/8" front (52cm). I'd like to get around 1" (2.5cm) of additional lift in the front, have found some 50mm spacers which gets me close but... Read more

    WTB: 2016-2021 Lexus GX460, Northeast

    By 2wheeldev

    Looking to buy a privately owned, well-documented 2016 to 2021 GX460. Stock or lightly modded is fine. Black on black preferred but open on color. Under 110k miles. Full service history matters more to me than a low odometer. Coolant valley plate and water pump records are a plus. Based in North, NJ. Will drive anywhere in the Northeast to see the right truck. Serious buyer, ready to move when the right one shows up. DM me.

    Anyone know the story on these? I assume they were only available outside the USA. What years? Can a US 80 be retro-fitted with one. Any sources? I have only seen 2 pictures.

    LX470 '06 headlight upgrade! Glass/polycarb and LED or HID

    By packeted

    Hey folks, I'm planning to upgrade my 06 LX headlight situation. I already have the projector brackets from LB Lightwerks but am now planning the rest of it. My lights have seen better dates so I was considering buying a new stock pair (seems that $750 is about the going rate). Any thoughts on glass vs polycarb housing? I'm assuming that the glass ones are the 99-02 and they would fit perfectly in an 06? Also as I plan my projectors, any thoughts on LED vs HID? I have some HIDs in there... Read more

    Coppernicus the FJ60 Survivor

    By sadovnik

    No doubt we tend to get pickier as we get older. I suppose the same holds for buying cars — the more you've owned, the more particular you become. I'd been hunting for an FJ60 or HJ61 for the better part of a year. I bid on a few promising rigs on BaT, but nothing panned out. I was somewhat willing to compromise on mechanicals and mileage. Rust, however, was non-negotiable. It had to be essentially rust-free, which is a tall order on a 40-year-old Land Cruiser. After an expensive lesson... Read more

    18" FN Wheels FX Pro Flow Formed Wheels

    By FNWheels

    Hi Everyone, It's been a little while since we've done a production run of 18x9" +25 5x150 FX Pro wheels, and we weren't planning on producing more until early 2026. One of our Tundra customers is trying to get a group buy going for our 18" FX Pro flow formed wheels over on the Tundra forum so that we might possibly be able to start production up earlier than we had planned. I thought it might be a good idea to see if there's any interest here among 200 series owners as well. This is the... Read more

    What Color is my ‘71 40?

    By GRM

    I bought some paint from cruiser corps, cygnus white T12, to paint some new steps for my cruiser. They ended up much creamer than the white on my 1971 FJ40. From the photo you can see. I used this spot to compare, because the vent was replaced with a used Olympus White vent, which is far bighter white than my ‘40. Any thoughts? What color is my ‘40? Maybe there are two shades of Cygnus White? Thanks for the help.

    Need Help ID ing a rear spring hanger

    By devo

    someone asked me to look over their new to them 40 series. It’s amazing how one 40 can be different from another. My question is about the rear forward spring hanger and pin. A new to me look? Is this some weird fabbed up job or is it simply old and I have not seen this before? CCOT shows what looks like a similar pin. But they don’t reference an application for it. Thanks for the help.

    Odd phenomena

    By MissahPapaJ

    I’d like to call this a dumb question.. but I’ve sure as hell never seen this. When I open up my radiator cap even after not running for several days ( I walk to work ) it’ll still have slight pressure behind the cap and a little coolant may slightly spill over, dead cold several days. The entire cooling system is redone except the upper hose water outlet pipe gasket All OE parts excluding a Land Tank modded blue hub and a rear heater delete. And the radiator is a CFC ( not in love with... Read more

    Engine Bay Cleaning

    By aktundra

    Here in Alaska, we do a lot of glacial river crossings. The engine bay, gets a very thin layer of somewhat baked dirt, and turns everything a uniform light brown color. To be honest i haven’t tried any of the off the shelf engine cleaners, because it seems to me, they are generally oriented for cleaning glease/oil. Anybody had a particular good luck with a product with just plain baked on “dust”?

    LC 250 auxilliary 30L tank retrofit

    By grandsons

    Hello, I'm currently planning a 30L auxiliary fuel tank retrofit. The motivation? There's a perfect space between the chassis rails and that would bring the total capacity to 110L which is nice. The installation also needs to look as OEM as possible — most of the solutions I've seen online would never pass a Swiss roadworthiness inspection. As for my approach: being a complete novice when it comes to automotive parts, I got lucky — a fellow LC250 owner shared his VIN, which lets me... Read more

    1FZ-F Carbureted Engine 80 series

    By oneOf8billion

    Hey everyone, does anyone here have experience with the carbureted version of the FZJ80? I have a few questions about the starting behavior and would like to compare whether everything with mine is still “normal.” Maybe someone also has experience with the gasoline-powered J7 pickups from the 1990s that had the same engine.

    Farmer Bob.

    By sneaky

    Introducing Farmer Bob. Bob is a '73 ish FJ45 that I bought in March, but dragged home yesterday. Its sat in the shed for about 8 or so years and is full of mouse poo. Bob started life working for the Post Master General (PMG), but I'm not sure is what capacity, it may have been mail delivery as it has dual fuel tanks. Kind of a neat set up, tap on the trans cover to switch tanks, and a switch on the dash to measure levels in either tank... Read more

    Seat Belt Hardware Stackup Order?

    By CatchMoTrout

    Hi all, Does anyone know the order the seat belt hardware stacks for the front? I have lock washers, washers, spacers and rubber grommets strewn all over the floor and I can’t seem to correctly recreate the stackup. I should have taken a picture of the order originally. I know I know. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thx!
