    Steering Issue

    By SkiCruiser200

    Looking for suggestions on what might be wrong with my 2019 LC. Truck is completely stock with 73k miles. I bought it 2 years ago with 50k miles. This is my second 200 series (had a 2021 LC that I sold with approx. 40k miles before this). Ever since I've had the current 2019 LC, there's been something off with the steering. The truck doesn't track straight, has play and vagueness on center, and the steering wheel tends to droop to the left, particularly if the road has any sort of... Read more

    4low light blinking

    By AwngCrush

    Hi everyone. Please accept my apologies 8f this has been posted before. I tried searching, bit it keeps returning an error message. I recently purchased a 2008 LX570 with 186000 miles.

If I try putting the car in 4low, it will sometimes start beeping repeatedly, other times it doesnt seem to do anything. can anyone point me to a... Read more

    Water Leak

    By QUIENYO

    Over the last few weeks there’s been some good rain storms. After both storms my drivers floor board is soaked. I’ve read plenty of posts about sunroof drains being blocked as the cause of this. Can anyone tell me how to check for this? I don’t find any water along the A-Pilar, just soaked carpet on the drivers floor nearest to the door.

    Saginaw conversion draglink

    By dmtfab

    I am replacing the tie rod and drag link tubes on my 40 because they have rock rash and are bent. I ordered a replacement tie rod tube from CruiserTEQ, but I didn't see the convserion drag link on their new site. I could find PSDL1 - conversion drag link on the Cruiser Outfitters site though. Before I call up and order one, I was wondering if anyone knows if I can take a OEM relay rod tube and cut it to the right length and drill/tap the tube for 11/16-18 right hand... Read more

    OEM temperature-gauge fault

    By FJtimr

    Looking for some help verifying my diagnosis path on a 1987 US-spec FJ60 with the 2F. Problem: The factory water temp gauge moves into the red after about 20 minutes of driving. The engine does NOT appear to actually be overheating. Background: The previous owner had installed an aftermarket temperature gauge. That gauge worked properly and showed normal operating temperatures. I'm trying to remove the aftermarket gauge and get the original cluster gauge working again. So far I have: ... Read more

    Knockoff oil filter

    By OM617YOTA

    Changing the oil on my 1kzte Prado and had intended to use this "OEM" filter. Noticed it was way lighter and the case felt far flimsier than the other filters I have, and finally actually looked at the thing. Alas, it's a knockoff, completely unbranded. I'm perfectly fine with reputable aftermarket filters, but unbranded is a pass. This was given to me by the same shop that installed knockoff injectors instead of rebuilding my factory ones. Supposed to be a good gesture on their part... Read more

    Which Fan Should I Use? New or Old.

    By 2mbb

    Thanks in advance for your advice. I'm in the process of replacing my fan coupling. I've got the fan and coupling out of the truck and I'm just waiting for the new coupling to arrive in a couple days. My old fan has been working fine (from day 1), but some years ago I had a bad motor mount and some of the fan blade tips are a little frayed from rubbing against the shroud. When this happened I purchased a new fan from SOR and have been carrying it around for about 25 years. Today, when I... Read more

    How do you get the alternator out?

    By Pryorrides

    First of all. This is a piss poor location to mount the alternator. Secondly, I got the thing loose. The electrical plug disintegrated when I went to pull it out. I guess it gots hot tucked way down in there. Problem is, everything is disconnected. How does it come out? Video I watched says it can slip by the hoses and come out the bottom. I played with it a bit and no way that is happening. Is there a trick to this? I wish this fan shroud was 2 piece. This is probably the biggest... Read more

    '91 Toyota LC coolant flow direction

    By chukardogs

    I'm working on my 1991 FJ80 LC with the 3FE 4.0L engine. During the replacement of the radiator, water pump and thermostat, I decided to change out a few heater hoses and found some of the steel lines corroded bad enough that they need some attention at a later date. In the meantime for expediency, I'm leaving them out and just running rubber hoses to replace the sections of steel conduits. My question; on the hose that runs from the water pumps lower radiator hose arm to the heater core... Read more

    A750f Transmission Issues..

    By connor2ten

    Hate that this has to be my first post on on here but here we go... I have a 2007 Lexus GX470 with about 245k on the ODO. Not too long ago, the transmission cooler in my radiator busted and leaked into the transmission, requiring a replacement due to a couple codes I received on my dash (P0776 and P2714). Which sent me on a huge rabbit hole where I dug through countless transmission threads on here, finding that the answer is replacing the transmission was what I came up with. So, $1800... Read more

    Rootbeer Float my FJ140 Build Thread

    By ceylonfj40nut

    I have been meaning to start a build thread since 2017 when we got her. There have been a few distractions with my boys projects that have slowed the start. The fam made an adventure out of it to fly to Nanaimo, BC to pick it up and drive it back to Texas. We drove in the winter through Yellowstone and made it to TX with a water pump glitch that was sorted out in Missoula Montana.

    FJ40 Splash Guard Question

    By LC Family

    So I am looking for engine compartment splash guards for my 1972 FJ40 (9/'71 build date) and I am having trouble figuring out which ones to get. It seems the shapes and sizes changed over the years and most sellers do not indicate which year they are for and the info I have found can get contradicted by others. Looked for photos of early 1972 engine compartments but no luck seeing clear pictures of any guards. Can anyone with an early '72 40 confirm which splash guards are the correct... Read more

    Back in a Cruiser - 93 FZJ80

    By PoorHouse

    Got back into a Land Cruiser this weekend. This may be a familiar vehicle to some on here. Seller is a member and long time TLCA member. It's been 10 years since I sold the last one, this is the 4th. I had an '84 FJ60 for 5 years in the late 90's to early 2000's, a very brief stint in an '88 FJ62, then a '97 FZJ80 from 2010 to 2016. Loved all of them. The right combination of size, capability, practicality and reliability. The '97 was my favorite, blending classic Land Cruiser... Read more

    GX550 Opinions from 80 Series Owners?

    By cryorunner

    After I finally got a test drive in the GX550 OT+, I’m left unimpressed, and was hoping to get some feedback from other 80 Series owners about their feelings of the GX as a valid replacement for my aging LX450. Mud seemed like the best place to try, with lots of 80 owners, and LC enthusiasts adding the GX to their collections of older models. After the test drive I’m left really torn about the GX, and now more panicked because I’ve already gotten a couple of calls from dealers with random... Read more
