    Zuninja's 2005 GX470 "Build"

    By OG Zuninja

    So I've been lurking for a few months and sort of documenting my progress in the "What did you do to your 120 today" thread in that time. Since that's not the "proper" way to document builds, I figured now is as good a time as any to start a thread with some okay pictures and ramblings of mediocre work. Late December of 24, I acquired this ol' girl from a dealer in Wake Forest, NC. A 2005 GX470 Sport non-nav with 204k on the odo: Before getting her home, I had ordered a... Read more

    LX450 Window Falling Off Track

    By OkieOverland

    The rear passenger window in my LX450 keeps falling out of the track. The wheel that raises and lowers the window is moving so far over that it comes out of the channel. I checked the other rear window and the wheel stays around 2-3” inside the track. I tried adjusting it but it continues to happen. Any ideas? The pics show how far over it goes before falling out and this happens every time I roll the window down.

    TheAmigo's 1981 FJ40 Build Log

    By theamigo

    I've been waiting for months to start this thread. I'm very happy to have the chance to do so now. I picked up my '81 in January with plans to begin the restoration this summer once the garage was renovated and ready for action. The garage is almost done so I'm moving into the prep phase for tear-down.

    What discription to use for parts on customs

    By Living in the Past

    I have a parts from Australia due to arrive soon. Broker sent an email about discription on some of the parts. Set of late FJ40 side doors. Other than vent windows it's the same door. Rear glass. An FJ45 rear cab glass and 60 series rear sliding window. I show the 45 glass the same part number as on the last FJ45 imported to Canada which assume would would correct glass for the US. On the 60 series I verified the windshield was the same part.number. rear sliders were never imported but know... Read more

    MagSafe Phone Mount

    By GrouchyTech

    The 2016+ has some good phone/device mount options, such as Rockform’s mount, but not so much for the earlier years. So, I rigged this up the other day. I disassembled part of a Spigen One Tap charger mount (it’s about 2 years old, may be discontinued) and mounted that to a RAM 5” slotted rail with a RAM knob and all of that is carefully bolted to the center speaker grille. It’s nice and solid, puts the phone in the right spot, and looks fairly unobtrusive especially from the diver’s seat... Read more

    B-series & H-series landcruiser Engine-Serial-Number/VIN-Number thread

    By lostmarbles

    Poser/Steve is doing it in the "40 and 55 series tech forum" as a "sticky" for cruisers with F and 2F petrol engines. So I'm thinking ....why haven't we done the same for our cruisers fitted with B, 2B, 3B, H, 2H, 13BT etc diesels. Once sufficient people contribute in each vehicle/engine category (which I admit may take significantly longer than for Steve's thread - due to the lower numbers worldwide) ....graphs like this one (put together by Martian) can eventually be made...

    The reality of the Landcruiser Head Gasket Issue

    By The Raven

    I have been around the block enough to know that in every genera from motorcycles to boats there is a hot potato that people get all chicken little about. I searched, but found little in regards to anyone who does not have any HG issues. I'm also not prepared to spend $2000 on a non-existent issue if I do not have to. I created this poll to see if I can get a real world stat of the actual HG failure phenomenon. The poll is set up as multiple choice for those with multiple vehicles past and... Read more

    No need for thermostat?

    By MarkM

    Hi everyone, A couple of months ago I bought a 96 80 series. It sat for a few months Before I bought it, and I am slowly addressing some of the issues and base lining for reliability. I will be building the truck for camping and fishing excursions, as well as a winter 4x4. Today I drained and refilled the coolant with Toyota red. I drained from the lower hose, and filled with water to circulate once the engine came up to temperature. I left the cap off, and waiting for the thermostat to... Read more

    Wyoming 1994 FZJ80 Build

    By residualboulders

    I've always been into LCs. My oldest bro is into Rovers. He grew up around cruisers too, but since living in Scotland for a couple of years he's caught the Rover bug. One day he calls to invite me on a road trip with him up to Seattle to get a new chassis he's imported for a D90. I'd been looking for a clean 80 for a few years, patiently waiting for the right one - 93-97 with cloth seats, low miles and no fake wood. Triple locked if possible. My dad had one like that new back when I was a... Read more

    Dissent offroad Extreme clearance bumpers.

    By benc

    Hey guys! Wanted to let the forum know of our new Xtreme clearance bumpers for the lc80. These will likely be a limited time offering as we do not expect them to be huge sellers but figured we would put the word out here if anyone is interested. These were designed to be as high, tight and light as possible for the toughest of trails and we recently put them to the test on one of the toughest trails in the usa! Fordyce trail is no joke and we hardly even touched the rear and the front... Read more

    The "Nowhere Else to Put This Insane Crap" thread NEPTIC

    By JohnVee

    Another 'Chat' thread seems so blah, so NEPTIC will have to suffice, but consider it a shīte repository for whatever you feel needs to be said. These guys were contemporaries of mine from Fairfax. Emmet Swimming. George Mason University. ~1990 origin. I had just moved south. The most horrible era in music to just play what you want and try to succeed (unless you were in Seattle). They did well but never scored big. Loved seeing them every time they came to Charlotte or West Palm... Read more

    Solved - Persistent Transmission OD/4th Gear Issue

    By JohnMed

    Hi All, I have had a persistent issue for the last year with the transmission in my 2000 LX470 losing 4th gear/OD while driving. Initially, I went through the most common fixes: checking/replacing the transmission sensors, wheel speed (ABS) sensors, checking coolant temp sensor, and doing a complete transmission fluid exchange. At first, I DID find that one of the abs sensors was indeed on its literal land strand (passenger rear) and immediately replaced this past October. This seemed... Read more

    LX450 - Groceries, 3-pedals and a coil pack. Daily driver build!

    By SNLC

    I have had this LX450 for awhile now, when I bought it it was cheap enough to be a parts truck or complete enough to put back on the road. It’s not rusty. I am wanting a low lift, a bit of a sleeper, fun to drive type Cruiser for daily duties. With lots of parts around the shop it seemed good enough of a Cruiser to put back on the road and have some fun with. Condition on this thing currently is probably a six out of ten. ... Read more

    Mr. Wayne

    By Nothinghead

    This is Mr. Wayne, 2017 LX570, meant to replace Bruce, our 2005 GX that has been doing off-road duty, winter commuting and pulling Alfred (23’ airstream) around the west. We wanted something just a bit bigger for towing and for hauling the growing family. I‘ll miss the GX. It has Bilstein lift and 33’s and feels more nimble and better pick up with a softer ride than the LX (totally subjective). It’s been so great with the lift, skids and hidden winch. It has just over 200,000... Read more

    Build- 1977 FJ40 Swamp Ghost

    By RotDorn

    So it appears that A) I have a major screw loose or B) I’m always up for a good fight C)I really should not be allowed to shop on the interweb or D) All of the above. Back in May of 2022 I purchased “Swamp Ghost” out of South Carolina. Allow me to digress…. Swamp Ghost was sold to me on a rebuilt salvage title clearly marked “fresh water flood” It has 44k original miles and is rust free. I have been collecting and trading firearms for nearly 40 years, the number... Read more

    The John Denver FJ40

    By sadovnik

    I’ve been back and forth on starting a build thread for this FJ40. So against my better judgment, here it is: my 1975 "John Denver" FJ40 with 97k miles. I’d been hunting for a 40 for a while, but everything in my budget was either a rust bucket, a mechanical nightmare, or both. When this one popped up locally, I had to jump on it. Mustard wasn’t my first choice, but I have to say, it really grew on me once I saw it in person—it’s just such an iconic color for these trucks. There was no rust... Read more
