    New 80 Series Owner Chain Question

    By koialert

    I need advise on the timing chain on my newly acquired 1994 series 80. The mileage is not known since original owner stated the engine was replaced several years ago, odometer staes 357000. The engine runs smooth with no abnormal noises. I see that the chain tensioner is extended fairly far. Should this be a concern or should I go for a chain replacement knowing that likely if I replace the chain, the head gasket should be replaced, then bearings and that point might... Read more

    Bubble developed on sidewall of Falken Wildpeak AT 3W

    By suitcase

    A bubble developed on the sidewall on one of my tires (Falken Wildpeak AT 3W 265/70/17). Tread on the tires are about 1/4" so still very good. I do 5 tire rotations every 5,000 miles. I didn't hit anything and only noticed while getting gas. I contacted the shop where I got the tires, but the shop was since sold. The new owner said he wouldn't be able to assist with anything and directed me to contact Falken. I submitted an inquiry via their website. New owner is happy to sell me new tires... Read more

    FZJ80 starting problem and Limp mode activation when getting wet

    By BQdors80

    Good day, i have got a bit of an issue with my 96 FZJ80 VX Limited. i washed the bottom of the motor today and when i wanted to start it back up to pull into my driveway the car wouldn't start. It turns over and i can smell fuel so it tells me i have a spark issue. What component would cause this issue when getting wet? Another issue that popped up is when i washed the top of the motor the car when into limp mode and wouldn't rev past 2200rpm. I took of the distributor cap it was bone dry... Read more

    Cream Puff Build Thread

    By TEQAdventure

    Wanted to start by saying this is a great forum, it helped me with researching/purchasing and now maintaining and improving my 1998 LX470. I looked for several months with no luck. My goal was to get a 100 series, make the initial mods, and do it for less $ than I will get for my built 07 Jeep JK. My budget put me in the 150-200k mile range, so I wanted to make sure the major maintenance items were done. A buddy of mine gave me a lead on a pristine LX in Mississippi. So I went to take a...

    Long time, no post. Still have the 100. Apparently we’re emotionally attached.

    By TranOverland

    Hey MUD—been quite a few years since I posted. Figured I’d check back in before my next contribution qualifies as an archaeological discovery. I’ve owned my 2004 Land Cruiser since 2018. Relatively few miles added, plenty of good weekends collected. Now I’m debating whether to sell it or keep it to eventually hand down to my boys. My wife points out that we have too many cars. Unfortunately, she’s brought facts into an emotional discussion. Naturally, I handled this decision by building... Read more

    ABS

    By grit80

    Hello, I have a 1993 Landcruiser I recently went up to the mountain and high centered pretty bad. I noticed I’ve ripped one of my ABS sensors and none of my lockers will engage. Has anyone had any of these issues and does anyone know why my lockers won’t engage?

    Meet Uma and not the one you are thinking of

    By mtn biker

    This is going to be a thread of all of my projects that i have done on my 40 that my kids regretfully named Uma. When i first bought her the was no radio in it so when the kids got in it they would sing a song from a Disney tinybopper movie where one of the characters sings "what's my name, what's my name?" To which the other characters reply Uma, Uma. From then on the name has stuck. She is an early 69 so it is right in the middle of a transition year which i am finding out can be a... Read more

    FJ60/62 - AMP Research PowerSteps?

    By SoCalJB

    With such clean lines of the FJ60/62 it would be a shame to add some side steps or sliders- IMHO. But the misses and the kids are havin' a hard time getting in and out. So now I am looking at options. Anyone installed/modified or know of something like the AMP Research PowerSteps for an FJ60/62?

    Wrecked LX570

    By novamarc

    I'm not sure if this is inappropriate to post in this section, 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 deceitful... Read more

    First things to be done on new to me LX?

    By derk87

    I pick the LX I bought this Saturday and am wondering the first few things I need to do to make sure it will last as long as possible. I was thinking about some kind of under coating and paint correction/coating. It has a cam tower leak like so many but it is just seeping and not a leak so will address that in the spring if it’s recommended. The 4lo also wouldn’t engage so I’m hoping it’s just stuck and will work that over time. What else do I need to do beside baseline everything?

    PSA - Clean Your Seat Filter

    By TeCKis300

    Spring cleaning? Vacuuming the endless sand in my car from the last desert trip, I'm reminded to clean the seat filter. It's a little known filter for the cooled/heated seats. The seat lifts high enough to vacuum out the filter with a crevice tool, but they can also be taken out with an easy counter-clockwise twist. Part numbers if you want to replace. There's two types 1) A furry media type filter (picture) shared with other Lexus models: 88921-50020 2) Screen type fitted to later... Read more

    Tachometer Calibration 1989-1995 pickup

    By Matt Sierra

    I just calibrated the tach on my 1990 pickup after swapping in a used SR5 cluster. My truck has a 22RE and all of the junkyard clusters I found had come from 3VZE rigs Initially I adjusted the potentiometer about a quarter turn clockwise (a wild guess) and just ran it. It was clearly off (reporting 1500-1800 RPM at idle). I ignored it for a while before I decided to calibrate it with my digital test light. I adjusted the potentiometer by bringing it back about 10 degrees counterclockwise... Read more

    80 Series Registry

    By FZJ80ismybaby

    I was pondering the idea of having something for the 80 series guys, and hijacking the idea from the 100's and 60's about a registery or picture album in the sticky section. So...here goes, hopefully we'll get it moved to the sticky. 1. Year and model 2. Name of owner 3. Name of rig 4. Mileage 5. Mods...if any 6. How the truck is used 7. Photo. again...small to save space Yeah... if you look in the 60 registery, there is nothing really different between the two, but might as... Read more

    The Junkyard 100

    By cruiserinsanity

    Several months ago @Godwin and I made a visit to a local junkyard after I found two 1977 2wd Toyota pickups from marketplace. I had been looking for a disc brake truck for a guy for a while to convert his from front drums to factory discs. When we arrived at the junkyard we saw this '99 100 sitting on its rotors at the entrance. I paid the man for the two mini trucks, and we asked about the 100. He had it for several years and had intended to drive it but it kept randomly not... Read more

    Noob Tuesdays

    By Universe5812

    New to IH8MUD and the Land Cruiser scene in general, so apologies. Backed my 80 Series into the garage today for the first time and accidentally bonked the garage wall at a coasting speed like a noob, hitch hit the wall. No damage besides the hitch, but wanted to see if there were any specific things I should look for damage-wise with the frame (Besides cracks) or if I don't need to worry at all. Thanks!

    RTH - Pre-collision and ABS codes - now alignment issues

    So while I was driving down from Ouray to Silverton, planning to just wander around until COTR starts Monday, my dash lights up and says check pre collision system. There was no check engine light so I just kept going till I got to Silverton and pulled the codes. This is what I got.: I cleared the codes restarted the truck and all seems fine but now I’m spooked as my plan just to go out into the backcountry and camp for two days and I’m solo.
