    Buying question

    By Radclerk1

    What’s the highest mileage 200 series you’d consider buying? I’m looking at a white southern owned vehicle no rust and good service records 2011 with 265k miles. He’s asking $19,900 with reasonable offers considered. Said I can take it for a PPI. Last coolant change was 219k miles. No accidents and he’s the second owner. Here’s a link. Thanks guys!

    The adventures of Otis the '76 FJ40

    By drooartz

    This will be the build thread/documentation (not sure how I get the “Builds” tag) for my new-to-me 1976 FJ40 named Otis. The truck was named by the previous to the previous owner, and it fits so the name happily will stay. I bought Otis from fellow IH8Mud member @Phrog in late July of 2025. My history with Land Cruisers and journey to purchase Otis can be found here: Third time's the charm? - hunting another FJ40 TLDR: This is my 3rd FJ40 since 1995, all have... Read more

    CCOT HFS replacement tub

    By SS454

    I haven't been able to find any reviews of the new CCOT replacement 40 tubs. Has anyone see one yet? If so, how was the quality? I'm at the point where I'm either going to have the body shop piece together a half tub or buy a new replacement. It looks like the best options are either CCOT or Landcruiser Heaven. If anyone has seen the new tubs available I would really appreciate to hear a Mudder's opinion. Thanks! Mason

    Olive Oil Stain - 77 refresh

    By dmtfab

    I have been clogging up the What Have You Done To Your Land Cruiser Today thread lately. I'm gonna just share my progress here instead. We recently picked up an Olive Brown 1977. Its not perfect, but its a clean truck overall. Original paint, very little rust, solid frame, Toyota powertrain, runs and drives. I will be re-sharing some of the stuff I posted in the other thread. I have been working on this since early June and have made some good progress and... Read more

    LX570 - “Oil Maintenance Required Soon”

    By steezy

    My wife’s 2020 LX570 has 82k miles on it. I’ve changed the oil (5W30) every 3-5k miles since we’ve owned it (~60k miles). After I perform an oil change I know how to reset the maintenance notification, but it appears that the maintenance interval has been reset to 500 miles. Does anybody how/why that happened?

    Hard thud / clunk during kickdown from 4th to 3rd gear in 2003 LC

    By Pilotsride

    I'm experiencing a very unique "clunk" and can't seem to find previous examples of it in the forums. As the title states, the clunk or kick is typically felt around 30 mph when the vehicle is already shifted into 4th and coasting / steady throttle application. When I increase the throttle enough to force a kickdown to 3rd gear there is a thud or clunk felt just before the RPMs increase as transmission shifts gears. What I've done so far - I have greased all zerks along the front and rear... Read more

    factory tailgate with spare tire carrier question

    By vfrer

    I am working on mounting a factory tailgate on my '67 FJ40 project. I don't have hinges so I am making my own and ran into a fitment issue with the spare tire carrier. I have the original '67 flat panel type spare tire carrier on the passenger side which seems to be hung correctly but it interferes with the tailgate hinge when trying to close. I have done some research and I have not seen any factory tailgates with the older type carrier ('62-72 I think) and the newer, flat type carriers... Read more

    2006-2007 fuel pump denso #950-0210 instead of 23220-50160

    By jerryb

    I've had a few different fuel pumps. After sitting for 90 days my walbro quit holding pressure. So I was getting way long cranks on hot soak restarts. The walbro failed shortly and I put in an Reilly returnable $150 import direct pump. Same thing, hot soak start long cranks @ 15 PSI @ at 60 minutes. Won't strand you, just irritating. This denso, 950-0210 is the sequoia pump with the sequoia filter. I did not find the 'just the pump' number which would make it even cheaper, but still it's... Read more

    Source for fridge drop slide that sells/ships to USA?

    By CharlieS

    Does anyone know of a source for a fridge drop slide that is in or ships to the USA? I've found four companies that do/did make them: MSA 4x4 (can't find anyone who ships to the US from AUS) Clearview (US distributor out of stock, Canada distributor won't sell to US) Platinum (Slee used to carry them, but no longer listed on their site) Tembo Tusk (no longer available) Like a lot of stuff, they seem readily available in AUS but not here. I've got a bunch of trips in the... Read more

    Swivel Hub Leak Advice

    By petegangies

    Hi all, 18months ago, I took the truck for rego, and they told me it needed the wheel bearings tightened and that I had a minor swivel hub leak. They suggested doing both sides both for both the swivel hubs and wheel bearings. I reluctantly decided to proceed, as I hadn't used this mechanic for anything else. Fast forward, and the driver's side swivel hub has continued to leak. They confirmed they did not use OEM parts, and so when I took it back in January this year, I supplied them with... Read more

    Roof wiring through rear window vent

    By hachimaru

    Hello, I figured i'd make a thread for anyone else who considered the idea of routing their roof rack wiring through the rear window cabin pressure venting. I searched and searched and looked through tons of pictures and threads and didnt find anyone who had done this and documented it. I used to have my wiring run through the rear hatch gap with some insulated braided wire but it looked like complete trash. Since ive only seen people run wiring through the snorkel or drilling a hole in the... Read more
