    TRDdrew's build thread

    By TRDdrew

    Hey guys and gals, after almost 4 years of ownership i figured it's finally time to start a build thread on it. My wife and I decided that we wanted a capable SUV to keep relatively stock ( we all know how that goes ...) for family duties and light wheeling and camping trips, so hence the title suggests the search began, as we had settled on the 100 series platform. We had been in the market for about 4-5 months when @BlueCruiser84 posted this one on MUD. We drove down to see it... Read more

Thanks, William

    FJ40 motor change.

    By jtstretch

    New to the FJ world. And first post. Recently acquired a 72 that has already been SBC and 4spd swapped. I’m wanting to put in a DBC LM7. From what I am reading most of the work and adapting is already done. Anyone have experience with this? A possible throw-out bearing and clutch arm change. Thicker pressure plate. Any other major things I should be aware of? Appreciate your input.

    Yokohama G003 SXS Tires on FJ60? Super Skinnies

    By FishTown

    Yokohama has been offering a UTV/SXS version of the Geolandar MT G003 in some sizes that are very interesting. I've done a little bit of reading and it sounds like Jxxp and Ford Ranger people have been running SXS tires in an offroad capacity, but I'm interested to see what people here think of these specific tires as an option for FJ60's. It doesn't sound like they are DOT-approved, but I did find one website that they are on their spec sheet. Comparing them to modern LT tires it seems... Read more

    AC High/Low caps

    By CharlieS

    Hi, Somewhere along the way I lost both of my plastic caps for the H and L ports. It's a 94 with R134A. Are AC caps generic - or maybe a better way to put it is do generic AC caps fit as replacements? If not, what's the go to source for replacements? Thanks!

    lx700h early diff/trans/oil change

    By LWC

    I had read on the tundra forums that people were seeing quite a bit of debris/swarf in the differential gear oil following break in, so i wanted to do an early change (20k miles) to hopefully avoid issues down the road with the lockers. i've done a fair amount of off roading, albeit in relatively cool temperatures. While i was there i also did a trans fluid exchange, transfer case and greased the zerks. Was pleasantly surprised by the wear metals in the diff, none of the swarf that people... Read more

    Mounting measurements for 78 Fj40 tire carrier needed please.

    By brandiclay

    I’m hoping someone would do me a favor and measure exactly where the hinges mount on the left rear for my tire carrier. Unfortunately the previous owner hacked this tub all up and never installed the carrier. So I’m remounting it blind. If I could at least get something from reference points like the distance from the ambulance door thing to the first set of bolts on the bottom hinge. that would probably be all I need. from images I am assuming the tire carrier hinge sits aligned with the...

    Another overheating thread

    By mindcrash

    I apologize as I know this has been covered ad-nauseum, but posting here is my last resort before taking it to a shop. I've consumed every overheating thread I can find and none of the solutions have helped. I'm still running too hot when climbing or when driving for extended time when it's hot outside. When driving from Denver to Ft. Collins she would get up to 220 on the highway, turn off the AC, and cool back down to 216 and the AC would turn back on, and the cycle would repeat. When...

    HJ47

    By frankenyota

    My brother has been out west on border patrol during the COVID pandemic, so I told him I would love to have a landcruiser ute to go with my SWB FJ40, so have a look around. After a few months of looking he came across a property with 4 utes and a troopy. 3 utes are HJ47’s, HJ47 troopy and an Fj45 1977 all in very good condition. Here’s a picture of the utes once home, the troopy and my new ute at the property.

    Migaloo the white Turbo 80

    By frankenyota

    After owning a gen1 Hilux for 15 years l was looking for a comfortable touring vehicle I could go camping and do some beach work and Fraser Island fishing trips. So in 2018 the search began for a new rig. The choices were an 80 series or 100 series wagon with solid front axle. A white 80 series with a blown head gasket came up and looked good with no rust. So l bought the 80 series petrol manual for 3 grand thinking a cylinder head job would sort it out. The plan from day one was to run a... Read more

    12HT and A440 Lugging/Vibration in Overdrive Help Needed

    By inv3ctiv3

    Ok so I've been wracking my brain about how to fix this but my HJ61 has this very specific low frequency "womp womp womp" lugging vibration sound and feeling as soon as the truck shifts into OD and only on throttle. I measured my flange angles, removed the driveshaft and drove it in FWD and it still did it (albeit less than normal). This feels more like it's shifting into OD and the revs drop down to like 1300ish and the vibration speeds up and goes away as I go faster but it feels like it... Read more

    Real time help: PS assist dropped after gravel slides, safe for big trip tomorrow?

    By Grumvee

    Hi Mud! Hoping for some advice tonight before a big trip planned for tomorrow... Vehicle: 2011 LX570, ~172k miles, AHC Off road wheeling in Inyo NF today. At the end of the day my son made two low-speed attempts to slide the truck in gravel (quick, large steering inputs, probably near lock). I stopped it after the second try (I know, I know). Immediately afterward, power steering assist was very weak. Not gone, but heavy. Checked so far: Steering linkage: no visible damage... Read more

    BJ42 front caster after 2" shackle lift – new springs or 4° shims?

    By Albertolunardini

    Hi all, Some background on my rig: '81 BJ42 (BJ42L-KW) So far I've lifted it using only 2" longer front shackles, with 33x10.5 R16 tires. I've also fitted an LJ70 power steering box and had the original leaf springs re-arched. The truck now sits as you can see in the photo. Current measurements: Front shackle angle is about 13° Front caster is about -3° (negative) Gap between the front bump stop and the axle is 9 cm (≈3.5") Two questions: 1) Would it be better to fit +2"...

    Is this original 1971 roof cap salvageable?

    By anthonyc

    When I first looked at my top, I honestly felt too lazy to even consider working on this thing. And I'm not scared of hard work, I just find sanding anything to be terribly not fun. I called 6 paint shops and no one will touch fiberglass repair. So I reached out to a local shop that does custom car work and can do fiberglass repair, but they wanted $250/hr 10-15 hours of labor to fix the top with no guarantee of final product (could bubble or w/e). And that's not even with paint. Oof! So... Read more

    74 air cleaner original color

    By H2o

    I looking to repaint my air cleaner from my 1974 air cleaner. Mine is blue and I was wondering if that was an original color? Besides a few paint drips, if it was repainted, they did a really good job. Other question, how would you clean the top portion. Seems like it would be impossible to get in there, even sand blasting.

    Procedure for replacing 100 series(98 and up) starter contacts

    By rph74

    Ok, I just got done replacing the starter contacts on my 99 Land Cruiser the other night, and I thought I'd share some info to others for the future. My car was difficult to start cold. When I turned the key, I would hear the solenoid engage, but the starter would not fire at all. After 2 or 3 turns of the key, the car would eventually start up fine. I read from others on this board that you must act immediately or risk ruining your starter AND your alternator. The contacts cost me $25... Read more

    Little Green Monster - 1st Gen 4Runner

    By MTsoul

    Well, I have a new(ish) project. I will warn up front that I tend to move slow on my projects, but thought I would do my best to track this one. I actually purchased this 1988 22re manual last summer, but it was low on my priority list. However, I am starting to pick up some steam. To no surprise, I initially started working out a base line for reliability, as the engine is a little tired but running good now. Basic Goal Overview - very capable but still can be a... Read more

    2015 worth double price of 2009 LX

    By derk87

    Looking at two LXs a 2009 for $16k and a 15 for $32k after taxes. The 09 has 177k miles clean frame and looks like all fluids and general maintenance has been kept up. The 15 has 134k and has been at the dealer for service sporadically. This will be my daily driver but I will also be off-roading with it. Wondering if I will want something newer after driving the 09 for awhile or is it sufficient. Or is the 15 worth double the price for the interior and few tech upgrades it has.
