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

Need to add another car to the household.. I like '18 LX570 but it's got some mods on it...wanted to pick up one that's stock. Dumb idea to pick up a 13-15? Haven't had two of the same car other than when I picked up a 2000 and 2004 camry. (don't shoot me) but I also thought about going back to an EV like a F150 lightning.

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

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.

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 there is one that my search couldn't find, please point me there so I can add to it. 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 filter is clean one fleck of metal in a pleat, same as the last oil change. I had about 6.8qts come out of the oil pan. Droplets of oil on oil cooler was happening when first purchased. 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

So truck would crank no start, or would start then die immediately. Did some trouble shooting only codes that came up where useless. The fuel pcm came up as the issue. Here is a how to to replace it. 1.Drop the skid plate for the gas tank 5 12mm 2. Drop the gas tank by removing safety cotter pins and metal dowels. Drop it enough to get to the inner frame rail above the rear control arm. 3.Use a rachet remove the 12mm bolt that holds the pcm in place and remove old pcm. The plug is one of... Read more

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...

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

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

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.

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

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.

Original post ** scroll down for walkthrough. Does anyone have guidance or advice on replacing the two front coiled brake lines coming from the booster?? I ordered the parts from Toyota and they will come in Friday. Seems like I can get good access through the wheel well. What is the process to remove and replace these lines? Thanks in advance. Updated: I ordered the two brake lines from Toyota. Found from partsauq diagram. Turned out to be a simple replacement. 1. All pressure should... Read more

Question for LV owners. I thought that I read that the Fj55 dome light lens was interchangeable with the LV. True? Does the year matter?

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

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
