I know this might get me a life time ban but I was curious if anyone stateside or in the LHD community has done a GU Patrol steering box upgrade. From what I have read the GU steering box has a larger sector shaft vs the 105 36 vs 38, less susceptible to wear and leaking. Looking forward to hearing opinions on this.

Can someone please help me find the actual part # for these bolts? The ones I have on my 2016 Sequoia are rusted and needs to be replaced. Thanks

I've bought a set of the original wheels for the LC80. All wheels were sandblasted and powder-coated. When trying to install them, I struggled with the bolts on one of them. When closely inspected, I've noticed its inner holes look different. Here are the back of the holes compared to another wheel: Here are the front of the holes compared to another wheel: It looks like an inner metal tube inside the holes. Are there 2 versions of...

Howdy, What first started as a simple idea has accidentally become a project that I’ve been working on for the past two years or so. Since I’m almost at the point where I can start testing things out, I wanted to share what’s been going on in my head and garage. Some things you might like. Some things you might not. This build is for me to push myself, problem solve, and learn new things. Even though it’s not going to be for everyone, I do think it’s different enough that at least a few can... Read more

Perhaps my googling skills are lacking, but I haven't seen this issue. My '01 Land Cruiser starts and runs normally with the two keys that I have for it. The thing is, the immobilizer display never lights when I put the key in and the alarm doesn't work at all. The remote lock/unlock functions normally. The panic switch on the remote does nothing. I have verified that the horn on the right side of the engine compartment works if you put power to it. The key in ignition buzzer works... Read more

I replaced the alternator brush kit today. I believe the alternator is OEM, so does the brush kit. Steps to remove the alternator IMPORTANT: Disconnet the battery Drained the coolant and removed the coolant reservoir tank Removed the air cleaner box Took lower radiator hose off at the thermostat housing Removed the power steering pump and its reservoir (just move it out of the way, no need to remove power steering fluid or disconnect any hose) NOTE: the wire plug was pretty tight fit to the...

Within past 30 days bought a 1977 FJ 40. FRAME: FJ40-256422; 2F 197554. Texas and western Kansas vehicle. Trailered home. All original except radio and tires/wheels and soft doors. Previous soft top rotted away long ago and is no longer made. Hard top has all major components but were apart and has been stored many years. Slight rust on some the hard top panels due to sitting on dirt/grass/gravel for too many years. Have only drove about 100 miles so far. What I have learned... Read more

Hi everyone- I'd like to get a PPI done for a 99 LC for sale in Queens. It looks to have some rust patches and I want to see how bad the rust is - and have it gone through mechanically otherwise. Any respected LC mechanics in Queens, or closeby that could do a PPI? Thanks!

I picked up this thing down in Florida a few months ago. Drove her all the way back from Florida to North Carolina. My only plan was to drive the thing around for fun, but as with all things this old, she needs some love, and some of these problems can't be ignored. I figure since I am going to be doing the work, I might as well document it here. There isn't a lot of information out there about the BJ44V and it's 2B motor. As I find parts that work I will include those items here as well... Read more

The first 8 pages of this thread are chit-chat and having fun. Go to p. 9 if you are interested in following Zeke's TDI swap. Howdy, Gang, Starting this thread as a place-holder for now. But, I am starting to think about building Zeke (been having a blast driving him this week). Mechanically, @120mm has him sorted (the steering and exhaust will be addressed). Zeke ran like a champ on the 6 hour drive back to our place from LBL last weekend. So, here's what up: 1) I see that I... Read more

Hey everyone! I have a 2002 Lexus LX470 with factory navigation. I recently installed the GROM VLite VT2, but I’m honestly not very happy with it. I’m experiencing audio interruptions, slow startup times, and delays with my backup camera. Not sure if it’s a software issue or a defective unit. I’d really love to get rid of the factory navigation completely and install a regular aftermarket Sony radio. I’ve read through some older threads about doing a navigation delete, and it looks...

96’ LC is shuddering to the point of not driving it. It is worse under load and the one place you don’t feel it is in the steering wheel. I have more or less narrowed it down to the differential dynamic dampener (or fill in what you call it). I read that some people simply remove it?? Why would that stop the vibration? If it does why is it there to start with and if it is removed are there potential long term problems that may arise? Sorry for the compound question but this thing is driving... Read more

I’m chasing a parasitic draw / electrical backfeed issue on my 2007 Lexus LX 470 and have narrowed it down pretty significantly. With the RADIO fuse (56 in passenger foot panel) installed, multiple systems (nav screen and even the cigarette lighter circuit) stay powered with the key out, but everything behaves normally when that fuse is removed. I’ve completely unplugged the nav ECU, the entire dash screen/climate control assembly, both rear headrest screens, and all modules under... Read more

The Intermittent Wiper speeds 1,2 & 3 were not working, but speed 4 works fine. This problem previously occurred, but the function returned a few weeks later. I have tested continuity thru the wiper speed selector on the steering column and it works fine. Using the Factory Service Manual schematics I was able to further troubleshoot the problem and finally found the Wiper Control Module mounted in the Passenger side foot well kick panel. I disconnected the wiring harness and inspected the... Read more

Hey everyone, I unbolted and broke loose my oil pan today. That was fun! Now I am at a stalemate with the FJ! The oil pan does not seem to have the appropriate clearance to pull out from under the truck? I looked at the front cross member and it does not appear to be removable(welded). I don’t want to start ya long on it and damage the oil pan. Please help!!! I must be missing something….. ***For reference this is a ‘92 FJ80 3FE engine auto transmission combo*** ... Read more

Can someone please help me with some part numbers? For a 1990 HZJ75 JT731PJ7508502368 Window winder mechanism for manual operated window in a RH door with a vent window. The one I've circled in red. Not the other one with the scissor arm mechanism. But when I click the number, it gives me four part numbers, and if I click on the other one it gives me the same four numbers. Can anyone tell me how to understand it?

Why Did a Judge Block the Forest Service Headquarters Move to Salt Lake City? This week, the Forest Service's plan to relocate its headquarters from Washington D.C. to Salt Lake City, came to a sudden halt in the exact same way that almost all Forest Service plans come to a sudden halt. A federal district judge from… You guessed it! California, Judge Vince Chhabria, blocked the Forest Service's plan to relocate. According to the ruling, USDA had "almost certainly" been violating...

Hello experts, I have an H55F gearbox, and it works fine! However, it keeps popping out of 3rd gear. If I hold the gear lever, it stays in gear. Even when the engine isn’t running, the lever just slips out of 3rd gear, as if a spring or something inside is loose. Has anyone experienced this problem before? Thanks in advance!
