    Refreshing the GX and need guidance

    By orangerock

    I've always got new rigs every 3-4 years but with rates and prices how they are now I just can't stomach to do it again. Plus I just love this GX as it's taken me and my family all over the place and I kind of want to see how much further I can take it... It's got right around 180k miles on it right now and I've spent past 8-12 months refreshing things: alternator starter radiator pads / rotors diff fluids transmissions fluid (drain and fill) tie rods lower...

    New Mod - Locking centre diff using transfer shift lever (no electronics!)

    By DivByZero

    You're probably aware that the electronic centre diff lock in the 80 series is a bit of a weak point. At 30-35 years after manufacture, most vehicles still running have probably required work on the CDL system by now, or will shortly. This affects the full-time 4WD HF2A and HF2AV transfer cases, as well as the part-time HF1A transfer case where the electronic 4WD shift system is used. My 80 series is an HZJ80R, with the fully mechanical HF1A transfer case, so there's no electronics involved... Read more

    Looking for a balanced tire pressure for my daily driving in Baja

    By RanchoSuenoAzul

    I just acquired a 2003 100 series LC last week fitted with KO2s LT275/65R18. I live in a small beach town here which is entirely dirt roads except the central road through town which is paved. On my 91 FJ80 beater I have been running 22PSI on some Chinese GoodRide off road tires (they are great!) which is nice and soft the ride is so smooth and also does fine on the beaches for kite surfing. You can drive at a good clip over But I have never driven that vehicle onto the highway to La Paz, I... Read more

    OEM Subtank Retrofit/Install Project With Pics

    By elmariachi

    OEM Subtank Retrofit/Install Project With Pics & Part Numbers EDIT>> Sunvisor modifications added 4/7/08, pics and details are at the bottom of this first post #1. There are several dozen posts here related to the 80 Series non-USA factory subtank system. After reading all the posts on existing hybrid installs and the debates about whether or not our trucks were wired for an OEM system, I decided to investigate this further. I began searching for a tank, dual filler neck and... Read more

I was on the hunt for a project, but I definitely wasn’t looking for a 40. In fact, I wasn’t even hunting a Toyota. I was after a first gen Ramcharger. Then this one showed up 10 miles from home.

    Staying true to my word on the last thread I opened up about my wrenching experiences with my 60, I want to make this thread as a “home base” for mine specifically to keep things in order. Sparing everybody of the unnecessary chatter… So far, I’ve completed (or acquired help to complete): 1. New water pump, radiator/hoses, thermostat, fan clutch and associated belts. 2. Alternator rebuilt - outsourced. 3. Fusible link rebuilt - kit from Cruiser Cult 4. OEM fuel filter In... Read more

    My other poor financial decision: 1994 FZJ80 land cruiser

    By knuckledragger80

    I have a 2013 second gen Tacoma trd off-road that I've spent too much money on over the years and built it to a great little all around truck. Couldn't shake the dream of owning an 80's series Land Cruiser the more i learned about them. Ended up selling my practical daily driver sedan to purchase another 4x4 project after i found a deal i couldn't pass up. I wish I had a cheaper autistic special interest. Had this for two years now, another money pit/ poor financial decision, but **** I... Read more

    Aftermarket Battery Terminal Options

    By ClassyJalopy

    I am not a fan of OEM battery terminals since they don't provide any additional cable mounting options. A lot of aftermarket terminals that do have provisions to mount extra cables, but don't really work with our trucks because the fusible link assembly needs a vertical post to mount to. This thread is to discuss the available aftermarket options and folks experience with them. I am listing the ones I know off in no particular order: 1. Slee Billet Aluminum version: @sleeoffroad ...

    Un-done, Un-did, who knows Helping a friends Dad with a ‘71 FJ40 that’s been in pieces 20+ years. So it’s definitely been undone and some of the “Did” by the PO needs to get done again if you know what I mean. Not the first 40 I’ve worked on in pieces, probably not the last either. Build: Chevy 400 SB (built 20 years ago so hopefully that’s good), NV4500, stock ‘71 transfer, converting back to SUA, goal is 33”-35” tires with factory FJ40 axles.

    GX 470 2003-2009 Height Control Air Dryer 4895060020

    By Tinggi

    Reviewing various posts about the rear air suspension on the GX470 I see little discussed about the Air Dryer! Looking at the service schedule I was unable to find any comments there. Based on what I have read it contains a desiccant to remove moisture from the air before the compressor pumps it into the Air Shocks! My question: Does the desiccant not become water-saturated after time? Is this part something that should be replaced after time? Just curious.

    2000 LX470 Trailer Harness Replacement

    By gholsie

    Hey all, just wanted to share some experience I had today with a faulty wiring harness on my stock 2000 LX470. I first discovered the stock 3-wire converter was faulty when I tried to rent a trailer from U-Haul. At the time I tried to rent the trailer, the left turn signal was so weak, the trailer lights couldn't draw enough current. As a result, the trailer left turn signal wouldn't turn on and they refused to rent to me. After this wonderful incident, I decided to do some reverse... Read more

    ? For those that seasonally swap doors

    By Wheelytech

    What hinges do you use. Is the lift off style jeep hinges? Do you just pop the pin in and out on the normal hinges. I have a 74 FST the currently has no doors but has hard door hinges. I plan to have full and half hard doors. Want to make the best choice for swap ability. Also I can’t believe how heavy these old doors are. I will be using bug catcher style doors.

    Intro message

    By vinniemacroger

    hey guys - apparently I need to shout out that I'm here, looks like a great place I stumbled too. Looking to join the gxor with a future (hopefully immediate) purchase of a Canadian 2009 GX470. There's a question though, this one in particular has a buzzing noise when I shift the 4WD between N - H and N - L. The truck is in neutral, brakes pressed, and makes a buzzing noise and returns to normal after in gear. Any thoughts?

    1FZ-F Replacement Head

    By utedaddy

    Hey y’all, Long time lurker, first time caller. I’ve got a 1997 FZJ75 pickup from the UAE (I’m in the US) and it’s got the carbureted 1FZ-F. A month ago I blew up the engine and I’m working on a rebuild. I was hoping to rescue the head but it saw a lot of heat and started melting in spots and I need a replacement. So here’s my question: Can I buy a new 1FZ-FE replacement head from Toyota (p/n 11101-69107) to replace my carbureted head (p/n 11101-69096)? Are there any differences between... Read more

    2003+ Anarchy NAV Delete CarPlay/Android Auto Head Unit Discussion

    By imperium

    With the development of @Anarchy's plug-and-play standalone HVAC solution, I figured it'd be best to create a separate thread where we can discuss radio replacement/upgrades for the US spec 2003+ 100s with factory nav. I'm very much looking forward to ditching the ancient screen and the Grom unit I have. The Grom works well enough, but it was never meant to be a replacement for an actual, dedicated CarPlay/AA unit. For now, there isn't a whole lot of information on what it takes to... Read more

    2011 LC200 — faint steering-column click only when turning counterclockwise

    By Mineral

    I have a strange steering-column noise on my 2011 Land Cruiser (~140k miles) that my mechanic and a longtime Toyota tech have not been able to identify. Curious if anyone here has experienced something similar. The noise is a faint click/creak that appears to come through the steering column. The unusual part is how repeatable and directional it is: Turning the steering wheel counterclockwise/left, it clicks at certain specific steering-wheel positions. Continue turning left and...

    275/70/18 tire dilema

    By dealmaker

    Wanting to go to max tire size I can put on my otherwise bone stock 2006 LX470. Looks like 275/70/18 is best option, but I'm only finding E load range tires in that size, except for GoodyearWrangler Duratrac , which I can get in D, or some General Grabbers in SL load range, which is "worse" than C. I was really hoping for KO3s or WildPeak AT4s. Anyone else go down that road? Better to downsize to 275/65/18? I think that's what I have now with Michelin LTX Defenders, but I'd be afraid...
