The previous owner of my‘93 (front discs, rear drum) had removed the LSPV system. (Im not sure what exactly has been left behind). I have done a 4” spring + 2” body lift. Replaced the master cylinder, But my brakes are still super soft. If i try and source the parts to reconstruct the LSPV system, will that improve brakes ?

Will a 1HZ (27060-17220) alternator fit onto a 1FZFE? I ordered the replacement alt and tried changing it out this weekend while I was doing the water pump and thermostat but no matter how much I tried it would not fit into the pivot bolt mounting area. It's part number is 27060-17220.

The system is an existing Victron solar charge controller and ~200W worth of solar panels. Panels pre-exist our ownership, so not sure what they are other than larger physically than the 100W panel that I installed on our first camper. Exactly which Victron I installed 3 years ago I need to look into. Batteries were two GC2 AGM's in series, so quite certain that the Victron was set up for them and will need to have it's parameters changed. The AGMs are now dead, Jim. No red tunics even! I...

I'm starting this off by copying a post I made back in November in the What Did You Do with Your 60 thread. Washed it. Just over 20 years ago I bought this FJ60 to be used as a field vehicle and that's been its life for the past two decades. I don't think it's actually been washed in the last 5 years, maybe more, mud and dirt hosed off, yes, but not scrubbed with soap. In preparation to reseal the gutters of the roof I washed it taking off a light growth of black mold and the... Read more

Ive got a 96 with 212,000 miles on it and as far as I can tell besides brake pads nothing has been done with the brakes according to the service records I have. Today as I was leaving a parking lot my brake pedal went to the floor and I lost my brakes. I got out popped the hood and didnt see any fluid coming from the master cylinder, but when i looked underneath it appears the brake line burst open on the drivers side front leaving a puddle of fluid on the ground. I managed to limp home on... Read more

Most of you know me or know of my company Hardline Fabrication Services. You know a company that specializes in building Land Cruisers Now I see Hardline Cruisers. In a club I've been involved with pushing 20 years, in North Carolina. Pretty damn sad if you ask me. Come up with your own name, Slee Cruisers has a ring to it. Whoops, that is already out there too.

I’ve had this clutch kit waiting for a… year or two. Replacing it now and I see the differences between the two. This normal? Diameters of inner and outer races match.

This engine needs rebuilding. It will take a while. I'll post the progress! Background: I bought a 4WD 1987 Toyota extended cab pickup truck with 22re engine when I was in college. It ran but wouldn't pass county emissions. After a summer of tinkering, a top-end overhaul got it to pass emissions. This truck's odometer was broken when I bought it. The odometer read 716,000 miles. How many actual miles is unknown. These Toyota pickups are good, tough trucks but were designed when the speed... Read more

Hey there! Just purchased a 1990 LJ78 with the 2LTE. These forums have been tremendously helpful for figuring out if I wanted to buy this thing and what ownership may look like. So, thank you! My background is in Datsun stuff so it’s neat to see how builds take shape on the Toyota side of things. So far the truck has been a treat to drive. I purchased it on Vancouver Island and I’m told it was first owned by a lady in Comox who had it serviced regularly in Ladysmith. I believe at Flying... Read more

Hey Cruiser Fam. Imported a MWB. Figured you'd be more happy for me than the wife. Clean little mostly stocker...90K KMs. All the maintenance records and such. Pictures not doing it justice. Good to be driving a Cruiser again. Still waiting for 77 1HZ parts so likely a month off from the reassembly starting on that. Updates soon. Onto a few pictures > Won't turbo. Promise. First modification this morning... Doug's Tub! ... Read more

Before you come for me, I searched and didn't find anything related. I have a 91 FJ80. The Big7 Kit site shows these as compatible with FZJ80 LCs. Have any of you with an FJ80 used one of these kits? My gut says they are probably 99% compatible.

Morning everyone .. I started on a journey (like many of you have before) to set a 60 series body (BJ60 1985) on an 80 series (1994) frame. I haven't been documenting the process for all the common reasons (work, time, family) but figured I might as well start a thread for some occasional updates. I certainly can't promise a build thread like some of you guys have been posting (thank you!), so I'm not going to make promises. I'll try though. Current state of affairs is: - Body is on a...

First up, gotta give it to @SoCalFrank for showing the 80-series market some much needed love! For those following the discussion HERE , I was looking to get some ditch light brackets like those made by CBI for other Toyotas. But they won't make anything for Land Cruisers. So I reached out to Frank to see what he thought. And sure enough delivered with an awesome mount that I think a lot of people will like. Before I get into the details I'll let Frank comment on pricing... Read more

Hi everyone! I bought a pretty beat up 1983 FJ60 with 210,000 miles. The last owner(s) were rough on her and she shows signs of being wheeled pretty hard. But, despite that, I still see life in Elsie! I have always wanted a FJ60/62 and I got this one pretty cheap. My goals include: Rebuilding and Passing emissions with the 2F in CO. I thought about a V8 swap but like the idea keeping it original, no computers etc... Fixing the suspension. It has a 2" body lift and 33's. The... Read more

I've had a few 80 series, and one hundie Lexus before, and we just found ourselves with another hundy. A 99 with 215k, that spent most of it's life as a mall crawler in California as evidenced by the ht tires, wedding ring damage on the steering wheel, and the cleanest undercarriage I have ever seen on a car. Immaculate. It also has had a lot of preventative maintenance performed on it including 2 timing belts, the last one including the water pump and other goodies, heater Ts, fuel... Read more

I may want to get access to the trough between the cylinder banks by removing the manifold in order to clean and inspect everything under it. How long would that take typically for the first time around for an average DIYer with decent tools? Any specialty tools or parts (gaskets etc) needed? And if a big job, anything worth doing while it's off? Starter contacts, sensors, etc? TIA

Busted every one of the leaves except the main long one, passenger rear. Any one have another rear stock leaf spring? I'm in Gilbert AZ.

I have a 1979 FJ40 with a 2F engine with all the emission equipment still on the vehicle. I was having an issue with a little smoke only at start-up and only until the FJ got warm. I was told that I also had a leaking manifold gasket. I decided to tackle both issues at the same time. I carefully removed the carburetor and set it aside, then the intake and exhaust manifolds, and finally the rocker arm assembly. I took the manifolds to a respected machine shop to have them decked. While the... Read more

Good afternoon folks…it’s been a minute since my last post. We currently have an ‘18 GX460 and the stock shocks/coilovers are starting to show their age. This one has adjustable suspension as well as airbags. I’ve lifted and modded several Toyota 4x4’s over the years, but this ones different being adjustable. Obviously the adjustment controls will not function anymore if I go aftermarket, would you consider this a “con” if you were searching for a GX? Kinda stupid of me to be concerned... Read more

1987 Landcruiser FJ60 US: my auxiliary fan (inside the engine bay) will not shut off after the key is turned off. Is there a set timing it should run post turning the key off or any specifications on when that fan turns on or off?
