    2024 Tacoma No Start Issue

    By Romer

    Looking for any idea or suggestions on how to get Toyota involved so this can be fixed under warranty This failure has occurred twice, first in Dec 19, 2025 and again on Sept 23rd 2026. What happens both times after driving someplace for 20 minutes and coming back to the truck after an hour, the truck does not start. Everything comes on, but there is no crank to the starter, no dash error codes and nothing else amiss except no crank, no clicking, no sound at all I can tell from the starter... Read more

    1971 In-Tank Fuel Pump/EFI Questions (newb)

    By anthonyc

    I'm considering installing a Holley Sniper carb sometime down the road. However, right now I have the tank drained for cleaning and maintenance (hard cracked fuel lines, internal cleaning, etc). I would love to take this opportunity to install an in-tank fuel pump, possibly this Holley pump recommended by redline, and just leave it sitting there for future use. 1. Can I install a fuel pump in this older style tank? (I assume yes, but all examples I have found are later years with... Read more

    LS Swap

    By America

    I have an 1987 FJ60 with a 6.0 LS swap with 6L80 trans. Engine cooling temps are running around 210-215 degree's with ram air going down the hwy at 65-70 mph. I have done the following: 1. Advanced Adapters radiator with trans cooler, 17" 2,400 CFM electric fan that runs constantly (shrouded to pull as efficiently as possible) 2. Heat sheilds on everything except the manifolds 3. I raised the back of the hood 1/2" for hot air to flow out 4. Synthetic fluids for engine and trans 5... Read more

    The Plan: Completing the Pan American highway in 3 stages; 1st Home (Canmore Alberta) to Panama, 2nd Home to Prudhoe Bay Alaska 3rd Colombia to Ushuaia Chile The goal is to leave for the first leg of this expedition by late October 2016 with my Wife Bianca, my long time friend and 4Runner owner Danny and his wife Kana.

    Discreet 40" LED Lightbar on Factory Roof Rack

    By WildYoats

    Just thought I’d share a little mod I recently finished making….some brackets to fit a nice low-profile single-row LED light bar onto the factory roof rack. Nothing really earth-shattering behind it all, but I think it turned out pretty slick in the end so I thought I’d share. I opted for the single-row light bar as I wanted to keep it discreet and low profile. My wife also drives the rig to work and the whole work parking garage height issue is also a concern for us. The... Read more

    Finally added a stout to the fleet

    By Builtbybudski

    Been looking for the perfect truck to build and after years finally found one that was within reasonable drive to go grab. Picked up this non-running New Mexico 67 from a property outside of OKC. Little bummed with the damage but it’s repairable and complete. It’s been swapped with a bigger engine (90 whopping horsepower) and 4 speed on the floor. Plans are to fix the front and fender, drop it on a late 90s 2wd Tacoma chassis and swap in a 3sge beams with 6 speed for a fun street truck/shop... Read more

We generally go down for the second week. @SFROMAN and @GarnerFJ40 plus myself area already committed pending any work shifts or emergencies.

    Holley Carb. Gurus (1 autolite)

    By KWA

    Fj40 1974. My holley 4412 bogs in 3rd. I think it’s the accelerator pump. Probably need to rebuild. I have an extra one that also needs to be rebuilt. I have 3 Holley (7448, 4412-3, 8000, and a autolite. Just curious if one is better than the other.

    Want to put a dirtbike on rear hitch. How can this be accomplished, weight wise?

    By Archengine

    Hear me out……Dirt bikes avg around 220-260 lbs. Add in the bike carrier so maybe another 30 lbs on top of that. The hitches that everyone sells are rated for 200 lbs. What needs to be done to make this work? I can fabricate and weld. I don’t have a hitch yet, and would consider making my own. I also wonder about extending the hitch tube forward and trying to tie into the round rear axle shock bar to help mitigate downward twisting of the bumper. Another option would be to make a new...

    Where are you buying TYC radiators these days?

    By sjpitts

    I know many in Arizona have had good luck with the TYC radiator for their 80 series. I actually need a radiator for my 2003 Sequoia. But I figure the same recommendations apply. And it used to be that it was recommended to get TYC radiators from Rockauto. But Rockauto is no longer shipping to AZ. I see that they are on Amazon, but Amazon makes me a little nervous given the reports of counterfeit stuff on Amazon. So where is a good place to buy one?

    Meet "Billy." Pappy's TRD-OR 6MT

    By pappy

    I guess it's time to introduce my Gen4. Long story getting this truck. For two months I attempted to get my local dealers in Albuquerque and Santa Fe to find what I wanted. They were only interested in selling me what I didn't want off their lot. So, I started sending out queries out-of-state. Durango Toyota to the rescue. They found what I wanted in 2 hours! Problem was, it was schedule for production, and had not been built. Truck was ordered Jan 8th (which happened to be my late wife's... Read more

    70 Series Vinyl Flooring

    By Ribz0

    Hi all... I'm sure this has been brought up across all the Landcruiser models before... Vinyl flooring... What is actually available still... and more so... who has stashed one (or more) up in their attic for a future build? I have spent some time searching and ringing around with very little success... saying that, I'm sure there are people on here with more knowledge than me as to where to look. So... yes, I'm looking for one... a genuine 70 series front vinyl matt in BROWN (RHD). I think... Read more

    Novato Cars & Coffee 1st Sun. of Mo.

    By SIZZLE

    There’s a great Cars and Coffee in Novato the first Sunday of every month at the Vintage Oaks Shopping Center. There’s usually several hundred cool cars and trucks. Everything from hot rods to exotics to 4x4s. I know there are some awesome Cruisers and Toyota trucks in Marin and Sonoma and it would be great to get some more Yotas out there. I’m out there most days in my anthracite 3rd Gen 4Runner or my white 2nd Gen Tacoma. I’ll be walking around with a cup of coffee and my... Read more

    By theamigo

    As part of my restoration I'm rebuilding the diffs. This includes installing an ARB locker in the rear. If you'd like to see the overall build check out the build thread linked in my sig. I'll have to post this in pieces. I am not a professional mechanic. Please offer feedback and suggestions if you see something I could do better. Regardless, I try to be well prepared for tasks like this. I read a lot and ask a bunch of questions before starting. First, I ordered everything from Cruiser... Read more

    2LT-E Head Rebuild - Parts Sourcing and Machine Work?

    By misterclean

    My LJ71 started with what I thought was a minor coolant leak that turned into coolant constantly spewing out of the overflow tank while parked after driving. While the engine has relatively low KMs, it seems that it is time for a head rebuild, as I do not think any work of the sort has ever been done before on this rig. I am still in the beginning stages of a head rebuild, and was looking for some advice here. So far, I have unsuccessfully ordered a replacement 3L head, OEM part 11101-54131... Read more
