    EDIC Controller build from scratch

    By Bandit_guy

    Lately I’ve been having issues with my EDIC on by 24 volt BJ42. Sometimes the engine wouldn’t stop, sometimes it wouldn’t start and other times I would get what is often called the funky chicken where the EDIC motor just keeps on running. After some research and lot’s of testing the conclusion is the EDIC motor is fine but the controller is pooched. It’s been filled with water and road salt more than once and it’s 30 years old so it’s time for a new one. All the problems described earlier... Read more

    LC 100 project vehicle - battery light indication and other woes

    By OreCruisinUJZ100

    Hello everyone, I've been making good progress on a 2000 Land Cruiser I picked up back in May and I thought everything was going good until yesterday when it died on me while running errands. The battery light indicator turned on, ABS light, the stereo kept turning off and on and the engine began to lose power. I was able to drive it safely off the road and into a parking lot. While doing some basic diagnostics, I found that I'm missing at least 2 of the fuses that are supposed to be in this... Read more

    KDSS rear link arm (RockAuto deal)

    By GrouchyTech

    Toyota p/n 48830-60050 The Toyota part is showing $446.77 list but can be found for around $300. However, this Moog part from RockAuto (Moog p/n K750773) is… $3.92 (yes, three dollars ninety-two cents). As good as the Toyota part? No, probably not. So I bought three. Enjoy.

    By primeral

    Hello again, Mudders. I swear there was already a 3D printed thread floating around somewhere (also checked the FAQ, to no avail) but I guess it was Mandela Effect?

If it doesn't yet exist, then I'll start one. 100-series radio bezel 3D printed trunk tool kit, optimizing side compartment space usage ... Read more

    Changed oil on 2008 j200 after 5k 229k on the odometer. I use 5w-30 Toyota oil. Found metal in the drain pan. I had the oil tested by black stone on the last change, no issue noted.

The oil cooler was replaced 4/11/2025. Not enough of a leak to leave a puddle under the truck. Any idea of what to do... Read more

    1965 Seminole Red FJ45 SWB

    By jomelo

    This thread is going to be a little different than my other threads. Specifically, I almost never buy trucks that are this nice. I ended up with this truck from @navydivedoc early last year after a slight engine noise was discovered and Steve decided he was over project trucks for a while. I had been following along with the restoration that was done by @ClemsonCruiser and instantly jumped at the chance to buy the truck. A few days later it was sitting in my barn. I just want to...

    Intercooler upgrade

    By Desertroadrunner

    I have a 1994 HDJ81 (Japanese spec) 80 series Land Cruiser with a 1HD-T engine. I live in the Las Vegas area with very high temps in the summer months (115 -120 degrees.) My EGT's run high and I wish to install an intercooler. I understand an air to air intercooler is simpler and has less complications and/or potential failure points verses an air to water intercooler. What are the pros and cons of each system? What system will work better in my environment. The vehicle is used mostly... Read more

    1994 O2 sensor issue(AI is not helping)

    By Impicklerick

    Hey all, I own a '94 LC FZJ80. Tried to replace my O2 sensors for new ones found them completely discontinued. I used Gemini to find another way to make this happen. I ended up using sensors from a 95-97 with 10 ohm resistors wired in parallel. I also abandoned the original position and put them up on the headers deleting the nonsense recirculation piping. It ran great for a little while. It started running like crap, I tested the resistors and they were only showing 6 ohms so they have... Read more

    8/‘85 60 Steering box HOSE replacement is it required to bleed the system?

    By John McVicker

    Will I need to automatically bleed the system or maybe just replacing the hose only does not require this. Replacing the hose ONLY…not removing the box itself. This is the hose from the power steering pump down to the steering box. Not sure if removing this hose also requires me to bleed the system or not. Pretty sure that it’s the hose leaking & that I don’t need to replace the box itself. Life would be a lot easier if I don’t have to bleed this thing.

    Affordable Switch Panel

    By olderlanding

    Hello Gentlemen, I'm planning on ordering a 30" light bar and some pods from Black Oak for a bumper build coming up next month. I am looking for an affordable switch panel to control the lights from the inside as well as additional accessories that I have planned but not purchased yet (fridge, aux radiator fan, reverse lights, winch, etc.). So far I've looked into S-POD, Switch-Pro, and Aux-Beam. Overall, I want something safe that has good wiring and fuses built in so there is little to no... Read more

    Suggestions On Replacement Lights

    By Mezeno

    I recently acquired this 1993 VX HDJ81 5spd Manual. The Piia and bottom bracket lights don’t work and I pulled the wires and harnesses today. I want to replace with leds, but I want to keep the style true as possible in line with the front bumper, steps, tubes, and wheels. You know, JDM retro. Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated.

    Resistor wire failure....acting like a ballast resistor failure

    By bmgraw

    Good morning. I have a Nov 1977 US spec FJ40 that's acting like a failed ballast resistor. It's a daily driver for me and needed some new coolant hoses, so after the project I cranked it to let it run and warm up. While idling it stalled and won't crank again. It starts and stays running if I keep the key in the start position. The second I let it turn back into the run position, it dies. I replaced the fuel filter and fuel pump and it's getting plenty of fuel to the carb. Having... Read more

    Project Misogi: A Nissan Safari JDM Firetruck build.

    By ColoradoSafari

    Do cool sh*t, do hard sh*t. Or as the Japanese say: Misogi Introducing my latest project! I came across this ’85 Nissan Safari (Patrol) Japanese Firetruck on BringATrailer and instantly saw potential. I’ve long coveted the classic, boxy 4x4s that crossed continents like Land Rover Defenders and 70-series Land Cruisers. These vehicles ooze adventure, ruggedness, and resilience; but due to the fact that few made it to the US, they are highly sought after. A Nissan Patrol represents this same... Read more
