    Help needed finding sollution for rear/front spring mount in my 78 FJ40 please.

    By brandiclay

    I’ve searched the forum, unsuccessfully, and searched the web, unsuccessfully, to find replacement spring perches or templates to have them made. I can’t be the only one who’s experienced this. I’m currently having the frame repaired but clearly these will need attention. Can anyone direct me to a discussion that’s already been had or tell me what they have done? And yes, I know this one’s ugly, so go easy on me.

    2F Valve Noise

    By BSP

    Hello All, I am experiencing some valve tick on my number one exhaust valve and cannot understand why. The valves are correctly set for lash set at operating temp. When the engine is cold, there is no loud valve noise. However, as the engine is warming up, starting approximately 3 to 4 minutes after cold start, the ticking on this one valve becomes noticeably louder. Once the engine reaches operating temp, the noise goes away again. Any thoughts on why this valve only makes noise when... Read more

    Need Help Figuring Out Fuel Filter, Fuel Injectors, or Other Issue

    By Mezeno

    I recently purchased a 1993 VX HDJ81 Turbo 5spd manual. It was driving just fine until I put diesel fuel injector cleaner in it. When I am driving everything is fine until 2500rpms. At that point the engine acts starved for fuel or it feels like its missing. Press on the gas anymore and it is struggling. Things are fine in the next gear until 2500rpms. Down shifting is as problematic at 2500rpms. Power loss when downshifting on a hill when pressing on the gas too much. It is also stalling... Read more

    Transmission Help needed

    By Gunner56

    Afternoon all, Looking for some assistance locating shop or transmission for a 2003 Landcruiser (A750F). Seems all reman units are on national backorder and parts are near impossible to come by when executing a rebuild. Would be looking for a good unit out of a parts truck or that someone has sitting around, or maybe a Toyota specific trans shop that may have the parts to get it done. I have the truck going to a trans shop to properly diag the issue, but right now I am getting hard... Read more

    Solar panels under the roof rack

    By r2m

    I had an epiphany yesterday and started thinking about solar panels under the roof rack (assuming you have a roof rack). The solar panels would be on the underside of the roof rack between the rack and top of the truck, and still allow loading of the rack. Even with the grating/cross bars of the rack there should still be ample area for the sun to hit the panels. Then wire the solar panels kind of like a second battery so when you're not driving, your battery/batteries are always getting a... Read more

    Radiators

    By nuclearlemon

    Who's running aftermarket radiators? Any fitment issues? My local shop quoted $950 to re-core my clean 3 owner radiator. He said he couldn't put a later core in because the size was different, im guessing thwy went 3 core to 4 core but websites are showing aftermarket radiators fitting 58-84

    Wrecked LX570

    By novamarc

    I'm not sure if this is the appropriate section to post this in, but I am desperate at this point. My wife recently totaled our WELL taken care of 2014 LX570, and USAA is basically treating it like it sat at the bottom of the ocean for its entire life. I have been using Claude to battle the USAA claims department for almost 2 months now while balancing work, an MBA, a wife, two babies, and a dog. I feel like I am talking to people that live on another planet, or are being knowingly... Read more

    Powda Blue 74 Build - Tilda Bogue Service Station

    By wngrog

    It’s finally time to turn the page on the Mustard 78 build and move to the next project I had a local friend as me to find him a good FJ40. Did not want a top. Something he can run around town in nice weather and around his farm in the Mississippi Delta during the season. I knew of a good one in Texas and secured it about a month ago.

    72 fj40. Update Oct 2026. Got it to fire!

    By Maggie Hope

    Hi all, Currently visiting family in CO from Australia. My wife’s dad has a 72 fj40 which I’ve worked on intermittent since 2018. In 2018 I got it running with minimal work after it sat for about 10 years. From memory I did filters and oils and fresh fuel and it ran, albeit fairly poorly. It was missing the key so I got a new key barrel and key and that sorted it. In 2024 I replaced a heap of stuff (points, leads, spark plugs, rotor, fan belt, radiator hoses, fuel filter, condenser etc)... Read more

    LX570 Phoenix Head Unit order incoming

    By airforce1

    Well, folks, wish me luck. I have a 2008 LX570, but unfortunately the relatively well-rated Hamilton units are not offered in our year range. GROM was not an option since our touchscreen has been damaged by the sun, so we needed an integrated screen/HVAC/audio solution. I can certainly try to replace the Toshiba LTA080B450F screen, but I also wanted to enjoy Apple CarPlay. I went ahead and ordered a Phoenix unit, so I guess I will be taking one for the team This is what I... Read more

    AVAILABLE 7X SERIES PARTS--USA MARKET

    By OGBeno

    Hi All: Figured I would start a thread that chronicles 7x specific parts that are available through normal Toyota procurement lines here in the USA market. Obviously, we know that 7x series parts are available here as a fluke due to the suppport needed for the mining industry in North America (Canada, US, Mexico, Central America). While most of these parts are 7x specific, there is a lot of cross-over as we all know. Chassis components were the same with 6x vehicles of the 1980's. Then... Read more

    Intermittent no start (fixed with high power jump)

    By jackpariscruiser

    Hey, so I’ve been dealing with an intermittent no start on my 1994 Toyota landcruiser recently. I took it to a shop where they claimed it was the starter which we replaced, still didn’t work shop claimed it was a bad part so we replaced it again. But the same problem is still going on, I can get it to start by jumping it with another vehicle. It also tends to start just fine in the morning but after I turn it off and go to start it later in the day it won’t start. Just need some advice on... Read more

    The Mudseum of Vintage Toyota Tools, Collectibles, Artifacts, and Memorabilia

    By dmamj

    7/8/2026 EDIT: Revised the thread title as considered in message #739. Feel free to post up more vintage Toyota-related items, preferably anything with the logo (August, 1937 - October, 1989), or their very first logo (July, 1935 - August, 1937), which would be truly historic and most welcome to see in this thread. Thought I’d start this as a supplement to wscbill’s “Tools, Tool Kits, Options, and Accessories” thread, which, incidentally is one of... Read more

    By Vicgeorge

    The only existing sliders are Dissent and CBI as far as I'm aware, and both are "body mount". Neither is yet for sale to the general public, though, Dissent has stated their sliders will be the next item to become available (roof rack available to order now). What are the thoughts regarding body mount sliders?

    OEM or Bust!

    By thindart1990

    I recently rebuilt a ton of components in the front end of my 2004 LX with 325k miles. The only thing I didn’t do OEM are the upper control arms, I went with the SPC performance. UCAs LCAs Inner / Outer tie rod ends - if you get spontaneous make sure to get the boots way ahead of time because they are not readily available. Axles Torsion bar mounts and bushings Calipers Rotors Brake lines front and rear I also did the radiator since mine sprung a leak Everything I did was DIY. The... Read more
