3fe engine help
By FJ80Rebuilder
Good afternoon, I need some help/recommendations with cleaning my engine. I am trying to remove the head gasket and will probably try to remove the front timing cover and rear main seal while I am at it. When I took off my valve cover, there seems to be a lot of carbon build up. Any recommendations on how to clean this? Should I replace anything while I’m at it? Should I replace the camshaft timing sprocket too? I plan on getting the head resurfaced too. I am not a new mechanic, but not a... Read more
How to install speedo correction gearbox?
By Demonic92
I went from 31's to 33's on my 91 FJ80 and now the speedometer is off 1-6mph depending how fast I'm going, meaning I'm also not tracking gas mileage, etc correctly. I saw that a member here with I think a 70 series had Deluxe Speedometer in Denver build them a custom speedo correction gearbox with good results, so I did the same. I couldn't use the plug-in solution as the speedometer was fully cable-driven for 1991 MY. Now I just need to install it! But I'm a little confused on how to. The... Read more
GX460 front rotor and pad selection
By Boondoggle
Just picked up a 2015 GX460 w/92K for the wife and the front pads are ready to be replaced and I was going to do new rotors too as under hard braking there's a little shimmy/pulsing. I was going to do Centric rotors and Akebono pads as that seemed like the most popular option for standard (not drilled or vented) rotors but it looks like they are no more. I was thinking of just going with OEM rotors and Akebono pads. She's not going to be towing anything and quiet would be the priority. I'm... Read more
BJ 40 - 24v - 1980 ... in lovely Belgium
By BartST
Hi all, I know the Americans do not have to many diesels, but you might have a look. Has to do with the EDIC, fuel relay, cut off etc. I'm rebuilding my 24 volt and came across these 2 plugs. I thought I have all the parts, but apparently not. What type of swith, relay or other am I missing? Thanks all, Bart

LC 200 FRONT SEATS UPGRADE
By pmrosendo
I've searched the forums without success regarding this upgrade. My 2016 LC 200 would benefit from better front seats, the OEM ones are terrible and without any lumbar or back support. I did an upgrade on a 2001 Prado 95 I also own, using CELICA's Carlos Sainz edition front seats, something that turned out great and quite comfortable. What options do I have, if someone already did it and what seats did you use?

Another FJ62 OM606 swap thread
By 87freerunner
I thought id start a thread on here in case my limited knowledge helps someone down the road. Ill start with a little background on my rig and lead into the swap info: I purchased this truck in September of 2024. I found it locally in Austin TX from a coworker's husband who owned it for the last 22 years (only driven 40k miles in 22 years but had 171k on the odometer). The previous owner had a binder of receipts for all the service it in its life and was truly a rust free truck. Even the... Read more
Why would I get this code again? (Requesting all opinions)
By bones25
Hey everyone, about 6 months ago I had the whole multi light popup on the dash. Code was P2714 (solenoid). Took it to a transmission shop, they did the following: - Transmission Filter Kit - Rebuilt Valve Body - Transmission Fluid Now about 6 months later, the lights pop up. I pull the codes and get the same P2714 (solenoid) code. I will say, the truck drives normal. Even the first time it did. Dare I say it drives even better? Regardless of that, anyone have any idea why this would... Read more
Sniper EFI - Fuel Grade
By PVCsnorkel
Considering the price of Fuel this is probably the wrong time to ask this... For those of you with Sniper EFI, do you use regular (88/89) Fuel or premium? My sniper setup has a slight misfire like idle and I'm wondering if it's cause I've been running regular.
Anyone running a Land Cruiser Grilles (Restoration Sector) steel grille on a 98–02?
By GhostRider2000
Considering the one-piece large hex steel grille for my 2000 LC100. Looking for real-world feedback from 98–02 owners: fit and install, whether the brackets lined up without modification, powder coat or finish durability, and anything you’d do differently. Also curious if you ran it without an emblem. https://landcruisergrilles.com/products/98-02-100-series-grille-one-piece-large-hexagon Photos welcome. Thanks!
Mock up F block??
By sandsfj40
Has anyone ever seen or know of a place that has solid plastic/rubber F/2F engines for mock up purposes? Might be a good project for someone with great 3D printing skills.
I’m an idiot
By 997guy
Didn’t park far enough back into the garage, it’s a tight fit. Wife decided to close the door I left open. I usually always check before I close. Guess I just touch it up with touch up paint? I could put a plate on there to cover some of it. It’s gouged into the plastic. Yes I know my front camera is cracked lol.
Georgia 1980 FJ40 Build Thread w/ Cummins R28 Diesel
By Troy Pusateri
Well here we go. A little history on this FJ. Bought this a few months back from a fellow whom worked overseas, yes...S. America FJ out of Peru. He owned the vehicle for 5 years, brought it back with him and it sat in storage for a few years. Story goes wife wanted him to sell it, to which my response was "you can always get rid of the wife", lol. Anywho, went and looked at it and since it had been sitting in storage for some time, it was running a little rough, but the body looked in... Read more
71 Windshield Defrost Gaskets
By anthonyc
Has anyone ever replaced the two seals on the bottom of the windshield for the defrost openings? Mine were crusted and I removed them, not realizing I couldn’t find a single part or reference to them on the internet. I do have the skills to design and 3D print parts. So I may make them out of TPU. We really need some kind of 3D printed parts (plastic and gaskets) collection thread With parts becoming harder and harder to come by, a lot of these little odds and ends could easily be... Read more

Anyone use an ARB Tree or Pull Pal?

Sometimes I'm out in the sand alone. Not a tree near by to anchor a winch to. Anyone carry a pull-pal or ARB Tree? How to you pack it?
Hello from a longtime Land Cruiser enthusiast!
By MrFJ
Hello everyone, my name is Bill. I'm new to this forum, but certainly not new to Land Cruisers! My first FJ40 was a 1974 model that I bought back in 1976 when I was a teenager. Unfortunately, circumstances forced me to sell it, and I've regretted that decision ever since. Well, I guess you could say I've made up for it over the years! I now own three Land Cruisers, and I've decided it's time to sell two of them. I'm looking forward to getting back out on the trails, meeting fellow... Read more
285/75r17
By salvage60
I have been searching for a long time for the right wheel and can not seem to find it. Tired split rims 25 years ago until I blew a tube on the freeway. I have had 70 series 16's but a little narrow and sit inboard a bit too much for me. I had some 16" tundra steel spares and liked the look but hated running spacers. Most recently I have been running some Mojave 15 x 8 r15 -19 aluminum rims that are ok but tires are now really old. Given 15s and even 16s seem to be getting rarer and... Read more
J60 Glove Box Replacement
By mr2m1
Finally getting off my a$$ to post this. I've been working on a replacement glove box for the FJ60's for way too long. I know Wits End has discontinued his aluminum glove boxes so I thought I would see if there is any interest in a 18ga powder coated steel version. Fortunately I have all the tools and a large powder coat oven to fabricate these all in house, this in turn will keep the cost down. EDIT 11/10/25 (Words) Glove Box $160 Stock Light Hole Plug $5 Stock Light... Read more
