    2F stumbles at idle (sometimes)

    By Wadesters

    I have a restored 1980 FJ40. Engine was rebuilt 8 years ago (no smog but has catalytic converter) and probably has not had more than 2k miles since then. It is used regularly just not for long distances. Recently for good measure I replaced: wires, plugs, all filters. It runs well with lots of power but sometimes after hot it will idle really low or stall. Other times it is just fine. The times it wants to stall if I pull the choke out a slight bit to get the idle up, thus not... Read more

    Diesel "Tuning" in United State?

    By Scotch

    (TL;DR) - are there any shops that perform 1HD-FTE diesel "tuning" in the US? (Not quite as crazy tuning as some of our aussie friends down under, but I know there are some simple performance enhancements at the margins that could be had by someone knowledgeable in the subject and a dyno. ) Greetings from a long time listener, first time caller. My wife gives me a hard time that when I'm on an international trip I'm taking more pictures of the amazing non-us... Read more

    Whining noise help!

    By petegangies

    Hi all, The bruiser has recently developed a whining harmonic kinda noise when lightly on the accelerator and for a second when I back off it. If I push the accelerator down harder it goes away until I go back to light throttle. Could insufficiently greased uni joints or slip joints cause this? Or am I looking at something more nefarious like a diff, transfer case or transmission issue? Car drives fine. attached sound here: Many thanks Pete

    a 2l-t knocking

    By roversnomore

    hey all, i know this isn't a 24v engine and i also understand that there isn't much love for the 2l-t... that being said, this one runs well, hardly smokes on cold startup. the valve train looks really tidy and unworn. this sound really seems to be coming from the head, it resonates the heatshields on the turbo... i wonder if it's a wrist pin or something in the head... maybe even an injector that is opening early?

    Vibrations in steering wheel

    By Cruisinsnow

    Hi all. 2013 200 series with 182k miles here. I have been experiencing a vibration in my steering wheel. The vibration is more of a hand numbing vibration than a shake. It is very pronounced at highway speeds. In addition I am also experiencing a lot of wandering and loose steering at highway speeds. Occasionally, the steering wheel will shake with braking (especially when the cruise control does the braking) but this is not all the time and seems pretty random. Because I can't always make...

    100 series master key thread

    By Mauser

    There are a lot of posts about this. I am going to try to make one thread with all needed key information I can think of. I am not much of a writer so I will try to explain the best I can. Our 100 series Land Cruisers and Lexus Lx470s all have an ignition immobilizer. What this system does is cut off spark and fuel to the engine unless the correct key is used to start the engine. There are 2 different kinds of keys, a master and a sub (valet) key. To add new key codes into the ecu a... Read more

    Kimchi Build

    By ceylonfj40nut

    Have not had much time to post on things of my own. Been busy with the boys ( @SipLife and @Cowboy45 ) projects. Thought I would get it started. Rig is a 97 triple locked 80. 177k miles. Bone stock except for front bumper. Everything works. No rust. Clear blue title. Bought it in San Antonio. Owner had a ton of receipts. Only issue was oil leaks from the common areas (front main seal, power steering pump cover, dizzy oring). Drove it to DFW topping it off every 100 miles . It got... Read more

    Found some not great material after oil change

    By Yoter91

    94 1fz-fe with 240k miles Just got back from a trip to Moab and did an oil change. Saw all this when dumping oil back into old jugs. Im slow and forgot to take pictures but i also cut the oil filter open. I didnt find anything gold in in but did find a few bits of something steel. Probably like a water drop worth of it. (Cant think of anything else for size reference). I had no oil pressure issues but i was having to step on her pretty good to get thru the mountain passes in Colorado. How... Read more

    Front Bumper Filler & Radiator Guard for Trimmed GX460 Bumpers

    By mtnco

    Been working on this one for a while. Late 2024, a friend and I trimmed our GX460 bumpers after some ground hits on the trails. Loved the clearance, but did not love the exposed A/C condenser and radiator, not to mention the unprotected engine intake and the fender liners flapping in the wind. Spring 2025, I started measuring and trying to design something better. Built and tested a couple prototypes over the summer to make sure it didn't whistle or rattle and was easy to put on or take...

    Rear 1965 fj45 taillights needed

    By jkdur728

    Well I just bought my 3rd 45 LWB project. This 1965 lived its whole life in California. Super excited about this one but it’s missing a lot of rarer stuff. Mainly the rear bed light housings and lens. Does anyone have a set they would be willing to let go? And or other options for this.

    Another Mercedes 380SL Restomod.

    By Flipper1938

    I too bought a cheap Mercedes convertible to play with. I know these cars have their issues, but I plan on getting rid of everything that causes problems. I'm sticking a 2002 chevy truck motor in it. A stock 5.3 is almost twice the horsepower this thing had when new. Supposedly a GTO oil pan is the trick to make this swap possible without replacing the whole front suspension. I will find out if that is true. I plan on gutting the car and... Read more

    EC Offroad or Hamilton questions for those who have this installed 2016+

    By dnh1

    I have researched this a lot and am sorry for starting a new thread but would like to know the answer as of today, not a few years ago. I have a 2019 LC 200. How long does the latest version of EC Offroad take to boot up and connect wirelessly? (also can someone please post a link in here to what I need to buy from them) Is there any issue with Bluetooth wanting to switch between the factory "Toyota Land Cruiser" bluetooth and the CarPlay bluetooth? I have had Naviplus... Read more

    Towing with a 200-series Toyota Land Cruiser

    By linuxgod

    I posted this on my personal blog at Towing with a 200-series Toyota Land Cruiser but wanted to share it here directly so it would be indexed. I've read a number of different thoughts and opinions about towing with the 200-series Toyota Land Cruiser. One popular opinion which seems to come mostly from owners of full size diesel pickups, is that due to the relatively short 112" wheelbase, the Land Cruiser is a poor towing vehicle. After a few trips and tweaks to my setup, I can... Read more

    PSA – Terrible Experience with OK4WD in Stewartsville NJ

    By ERC4

    I’ve sat on this bad experience for months, but I got together with a fellow Mud member this weekend who encouraged me to share it in order to benefit others on this board (particularly those in the NJ/PA area). In San Diego where I live, I use a great independent firm SD Trux for servicing which has never let me down. My daughter is a college student back east so I hoped that OK4WD would provide equivalent levels of professionalism in order to make sure she never has any issues with our... Read more

    Theorycrafting on a FZJ80, RTT weight, height, damping, and COG

    By Shinook

    Hi folks. I know this subject came up before in context of someone doing the Rubicon. I read that thread, but it was a long time ago and stuff has changed, so I figured I'd pose the question here a bit. I have a fairly heavy 80, front has an ARB bar w/ M12S winch, single battery (so it's light-ish). Slee sliders. The rear is heavier with drawers, fridge, house battery, recovery gear, and a 4x4 Labs rear w/ can rack and spare tire. Suspension is currently Dobinson IMS 4in front, 5in rear... Read more

    HZJ73 Part Number Help and Upper Door Striker Compatibility

    By needmoney4gas

    Anyone know if the troopy back door upper striker and stopper will work on an HZJ73? P/N (69470-60020)? It looks like typical upper striker for my vehicle, 69470-60040 is discontinued. Anyone know if it was superseded? I’m having some back door alignment issues and am hoping to replace the upper striker and hinges at the same time. Any help much appreciated Separately: does anyone have the part number for the interior round plugs that conceal the FRP top bolts on the interior of the... Read more

    Upgrading power system 220v consideration.

    By Tigerstripe40

    Currently, my solar system on my overland rig (2008 Tacoma) is 165watt (rated, actual output is about 123 watt at my latitude). Running into a tired 110ah SLA battery. Currently, I am running a MorningStar PWM controller. I run a 40qt ARB refrigerator continually, and initially I had enough reserve to be able to also run a 26qt Colman Stirling Engine fridge in freezer2 mode (good enough to keep ice cream and other frozen foods frozen). The battery is about 8 years old, panels and... Read more
