So the traction control has activated 2x since yesterday, both times at around 59-55mph and while taking the curve to the right. Alarm beeps, light flashes and computer slows down the truck. I swapped out bearings, rotors and brake pads last week and this issue had never happened before. Could I have messed up something or left something loose while doing the brakes?

My 97 FZJ80 with 247K miles is my daily, and by now I think enough of you know it’s very well rehabed. I have documents showing HG replaced by Toyota of Monroe @ 176K so I know it’s been done once. Today on my way home from work, I stopped at a stop sign and noticed a very rough idle / coughing. I put in park and RPMS were bouncing from 400 - 1000. Gave it some gas and was able to make it the 1000’ to my house. The engine would hardly idle, and I’m getting a strong exhaust smell and... Read more

Topnault has this steel bed replacement available. Says it fits 79 - 84. Other than mounting position what could the difference be?? I believe 79 - 84 only came in long bed versions. I know there have been issues with some of their parts fit and finish but not many options for a replacement bed. Really don't want aluminum.

Next up. Benz is done. Lincoln is in no interest purgatory. Last week I was deep into a Porsche 928 rabbit hole. A cheap one had come up, but research showed the autos were significantly worse. Looking into manuals showed the prices have started to come up on those. Mostly, opinions were that 928s were life ruining lovely things. Lots and lots of videos of people who loved them ending up with 4 parts cars and giant repair bills. Right around the corner from my house there was a J-seriea... Read more

Just finished restoring a 1982 USA Sunrader on a 1982 pickup chassis. It has A/C which we don't use, so I want to just remove the belt to ensure the PAG oil in the compressor does not fail and damage the valuable system. Anyone know if I can simply remove the belt, which also drives the air pump and run it with no issues? If I have to do other things (remove/plug air pump hoses, etc) I'm happy to do it if someone knows what to do to preserve it. It's a super low mile (32k) vehicle and I... Read more

I have been asked by a few members to make a build thread. This is not going to happen overnight. All the pictures I have of the rig are too big to upload to the site. I have to take screen shots on my phone and crop them to get them on here. At this point in time, I've had my rig for a year and a half. Hope you all enjoy it! Here it is currently

I’m trying to contact a guy that owns a built 80 and built 200 Series that works in Sturgis Michigan. I cannot believe that you have both of these and are not among us. Anyway, I have a set of rear lower control arms that I would like to give you for your 200 Series; no charge, no strings attached. If you are among us or you know the guy, reach out to me and we can work out getting them to you. Again, free of charge, just want them to go to an enthusiast and off of my workbench! Thanks CJ

Coming in with a new project, adventure and life changing news! my wife and I are expecting a child! Its the best news and I am so excited to be a father. I hope they love land cruisers!! This knowledge of becoming a father pushed me over the edge on the idea of swapping out the fj40 for somthing else. My wife and I both knew we wanted something bigger for our small island adventures. I knew my Fj40 days were numbered. I asked My wife Rachael one thing. Can I get something old again... Read more

So the front of my truck has developed a very small clunk over bumps and I figured since I'm lifted and the original links had 325k miles I'd start there. While the Trail Tailor links look great I do not have $145 in the budget for them. So Google image searching I went. After a little while I found some 90s Volvo links that looked like they might work so I took a chance. Rock Auto had them for less than $9 each and I was already placing an order for some other stuff. Today I went to work... Read more

I've purchased the soldering kit for the AC/HEAT buttons. However, those just are fixes for the buttons. When i was looking for just the knob part number, so i could affix a new knob, I noticed that the whole temperature knob assembly is loose, as in I can see the circuitry/microchip dangling from the metal rod where you'd affix the knob to. it wobles in x y and zed. My concern here is that I'm trying to do a coolant flush, and one of the main steps seems to be to turn the heat on, which I... Read more

I thought for sure I've seen a thread on how to do this somewhere but no luck. Only motor + fan replacements . Has anyone removed the fan and swapped it to a new motor ? I think the fan is just seized on the shaft. Might just reinstall this and move on for now probably going to break the fan. It's got a clamp that easily comes off but then it looks like there's a small plastic tab holding it on to the shaft. I've bent it back and tried to pry the fan up but it's on there pretty good.

Greetings everyone. So the rear cargo door handle (inside) on my GX470 broke. I bought a replacement off eBay but I can’t figure out how to install it (I thought it would just “pop” in). Can anyone give me any advice? Thanks in advance.

93 FZJ80. I was working on reconnecting my IACV as the plastic 6 pin connector on the harness disintegrated. I had connected the two wires supplying power and was testing the possible order that the other 4 could go. 3 combinations and it made no difference vs having the IACV disconnected then, on the 4th try, it immediately revved to 2100 and sat there on start. At some point after restarting the motor it started surging and would go from 1200 to 2100 and has continued to surge. (In park... Read more

My lovely bride and I used to fantasize about a house and barn combo since we met in 1985. We gave up on it when we moved to Middle Tennessee in 2019. Land here is expensive and/or unavailable. This April, that changed. While on a driving adventure south of the Cumberland river, I turned around in a driveway, at the end of which was the spitting image of the house we designed on a napkin at a local pizza place in 1985. It was post and beam new construction and it was for sale... Read more

Recently I went mudding with some friends, and in a mud pit the noise that nobody wants to hear. ppppiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiissssssssssssssssssssssss. The A/C line that come fron the condenser to the drier was ripped. I have a friend of mine with a 93 TLC and his drier is right by the battery, did some research here and I read some 93's came with R12. Mine is a 96, and I also read there's a JDM a/c drier reloc kit. Could find anything on where this are OME parts or a particular kit sold by a... Read more

Hello, Why isn’t there a aftermarket mount for this empty slot? Or is there? Please advise.

Looks like some Toyota dealers are offering 10% off and free shipping on online parts orders. I am in WA so I ordered from Lithia Toyota of Billings Montana to get the order no tax as well. As always shop around. The part I needed was amazingly not available from the cheaper overseas sources.

Hello fellas, I have just changed my timing belt and I went to go drive it afterwards and it was fine at idle. But when I started to go more than 10 mph the truck started to shake and the turbo noises out of the Exaust sounded sporadic and then I went back to idle it did not stop shaking and studdering. It seems like the timing was off maybe a tooth. I opened it back up and they look pretty much dead on the marks, are they supposed to be different? Can anyone please chime in on this? Thank...

Some posts say yes, others say no, that the window & regulator need to be removed when replacing the front pass window motor. Mine is 2003 LandCruiser. I was planning to tape window closed and pop out motor. Does regulator have spring, and will it snap - dangerous? (Many years ago as a teenager, worked on my 1983 Ford Bronco, took the tailgate window motor out (large window), and almost lost my hand when the spring snapped.) Thank you.

There are some of you on this forum that are more adept at finding results using the SEARCH function than am I, so please forgive me if this procedure is, indeed, posted somewhere on the 100-series forum. That being said, I performed a search for "door panel removal" process, and although I came up with bits and pieces on several threads, they all left out steps that I needed to know. Accordingly, on the chance that someone needs to know how to do this from beginning to end (the front... Read more

The fuel injectors on my 1998 LC100 are still working fine at 289k miles, I plan to clean them and replace o-rings but it seems to me that OEM/Toyota injectors are discontinued and I would like to get a few for spare. Please share where to buy good injectors. Thanks
