3rd Annual Northern Rockies "MOD Meet", Helena, 10/17
By AirheadNut
Diesel owners mark your calendars! We're going for a third consecutive year for our oddball diesel meet in Helena. We will meet up at the State Capitol starting around 10 AM on Saturday, October 17 to hang out, talk diesels and check out each other's rigs for a while. After a couple of hours we'll grab lunch somewhere and then head out for a group cruise on scenic backroads. We'll plan to wrap up late afternoon to allow people time to get home. Any diesel conversion, old forgotten factory... Read more
Roof Rail End Feet - what do I have here?
By red65FJ40
Pic for attention Background: I lost one of the roof rail rear end caps a few months ago, and purchased some generic Ebay covers (kit of all 4 corners) after seeing prices for OEM above $100/ea figuring they're just a plastic cover so I'd risk it. Parts arrived and the cap just didn't seem to make sense with the design of the metal rail foot. I chocked it up to cheaping out on Ebay for generics and kinda made it work for a few months. Then I lost the other side in a car wash... Read more

Advice electrical issues
By Maya77
Morning all, Apologies for lack of detail - am not the mechanic - asking for other half. HDJ100R-GNMEZ. Gremlins appeared - lights on, windows not working etc., in very rural place, auto elec could not fix. OH identified issues with ABS skid assy (89540-60400), block, cowl side junction RHD (82731-60170) and block assy eng junction (have managed to find this part).

Mark's Off Road Warehouse Fire Thread
By 65swb45
Thursday the 21st there was a fire of unknown origin at my warehouse. My shop is ok (3miles away), but my warehouse was heavily damaged. I lost a little bit of merchandise to fire damage, a bit more to water damage. Fortunately the fire was limited to the smallest of the three rooms I occupied at the warehouse. As fate would have it, I went to the warehouse for a routine visit, and arrived just after the fire was suppressed, in total shock mode. Before I could reach the firemen to find out... Read more
Rim/tire size with upgraded brakes without regearing?
By derk87
Looking at ordering some rims and tires for the 2009 LX I’m picking up on Saturday and wondering a couple of things. If I do the upgraded brakes from newer years does that limit the size rim I can fit? I’m looking at 17s right now. Also I see some have had to cut inner fenders for possibly a 285/70-17 which is 32.7” tall. Would these also require regearing? Looking for best combo for 75/25 on-road off-road and was thinking 1.5” spacers since I do like a nice stance but saw most recommend an... Read more
For those who wheel harder than I do: What are the downfalls of MTS/ATRAC? Do I really need an e/air locker?
By CanadianRockyCruiser
I've been debating lockers for a long time. Once upon a time I had a rear locker in a 4runner and another in my ol' LX470. I've had lots of fun offroading with ATRAC in my 2013 LX570, and I am debating the value of adding e/air lockers. I'm looking for advice as to the downfalls of MTS/ATRAC compared to diff lockers. When you are wheeling harder than I probably ever will, what are the tactical advantages of e/air lockers compared to MTS/ATRAC? Thanks in advance for the insights. I'm... Read more
Fuel pump relay = circuit opening relay?
By Mark W
Hi Guys, I'm stepping outside of my usual MUD haunts. Because I am stepping *a little bit* outside of my normal stomping grounds here at the shop too and I am hoping for some input. Not sure if any of you guys in this forum have been bouncing around mud from way back (or the LCML before Mud) but I've been pontificating here (Very quietly learning LOTS of stuff too), and spinning wrenches on Cruisers fora *big bit* of a while now. Toy trucks too. But not nearly as many of the newer... Read more
Transmission not shifting correctly after head rebuild
By Ancient
I’ll get to the point Recently completed a head gasket job on my 80 series fzj80. After adjusting the distributor and the throttle position sensor, the car runs an idles fine. However, when attempting to drive it for the first time, a vehicle seem to bog down a little bit when put into drive then slowly rev to a very high RPM. When I tried to engage reverse, it barely had enough power to even go backwards. Wanted to see if you guys had any thoughts on what it could be or where I should... Read more
Truckasaurus - linuxgod's Build Thread
By linuxgod
[I've been meaning to do this for years but I keep getting sidetracked. The longer time goes on, the more I change, and the more there is to document. Rather than try to write it all in one shot, I'm just starting the damn thread and I'm going to do it in pieces as time permits] We'd owned an Acura MDX from 2009, but had started pulling a 5000# travel trailer with it in 2012. A few seasons in we wanted to do longer trips, but it was really too much trailer (and weight) for highway... Read more
FJ60 in clothing company advertising
By CruiserOfLand
Maybe not the most conventional thing to post here, but a few months ago I was invited through a local car group to do a photoshoot with my Land Cruiser up in Tomales Bay, out at Nick’s Cove. Turns out it was for Hollister Clothing Co, and the advertising just came out. My wife and I were out this weekend and thought hey isn’t there a store nearby… well sure enough there was our truck on the wall. As a gent about to turn 40 who’s been driving this truck since high school, I think it’s kind... Read more
Tacoma vibration diagnosis help
By Mr Chuck Norris
Hey, it's been a while - I've been off forums for the most part over the past couple years. In 2023/24 I sold all my trucks, and consolidated to one rig that I thought would be trouble-free and minimal maintenance: A 2024 Tacoma TRD Offroad, premium package, auto trans, longbed. It was great for 14 months and 9,700 miles. Then a weird vibration popped up pretty suddenly mid-December. It's been 1,000mi and the issue is still there and a bit worse now. Buckle up, this will...

1969 Loadstar 1700 Shop Truck Build
By AirheadNut
For several months now I have been toying with the idea of getting a shop truck. Not the normal kind of shop truck though: instead of being used at a shop this would be the shop. While casually perusing local (and some not-so-local) classifieds I stumbled on an ad for a 1969 International Loadstar 1700 refrigerated box truck. 22k GVW, 345 V8, 5-speed T36 transmission and an Eaton 2-speed rear axle. The price seemed decent, the ad claimed a good running engine and overall decent... Read more

Tub removal? How long did the removal take you?
By vtcruiser60
Sort of a quick question....I hope. How long does it take to remove a standard FJ40 tub from a body? Factor in two front seats, gas tank, swing out rear half doors, side steps and NO TOP, NO rear heater, NO roll bar, NO jump seats. Time is tight and I need to plan out my work....hope you can help.
HDJ62
By seatosummit
Hey Mud - I just picked up a new project. The truck started life as an 1986 HJ61 in NZ. It received a 1HD-T + 4speed auto swap before making the journey over to the US in the late 00's. A tree fell on it and the PO did a body swap with an '89 FJ62 (US spec). While he was putting it back together, his house (and garage) burned down in a fire. Brutal. Sooo, now I have a late model LHD 60 series with a 1HD-T in it, but there are definitely some missing components to be sourced to get it... Read more
Unable to start 1hd-t without battery booster
By Ragonz
Reposted from the 80 series forum as they said the diesel area would be better. Hello everyone, I've been searching all over for the past couple days to try and make sense of all the various bits of information on this site and others but I'm struggling. My 1hd-t 93 80 series will not start unless I put a battery booster on the driver side (left whilst looking towards the front of the car as its a UK spec) This leads me to suspect that there is somthing preventing the other battery being...
