I have a ticking noise on cold start and louder when accelerating/ in gear. Had my valve adjustment done not long ago by a shop ( maybe a month or two ago.) Its more noticeable somedays and sometimes less loud on others, which I think is wierd. Only thing I can think of is exhaust manifold leak? Its desmoged (no EGR) Ticking noise is coming from engine bay not under car. What are your thoughts on what it could be?

I recently got techstream 18 running and wanted to post the steps I used to get it working safely. I am running it on Virtualbox and Windows 10 32bit. Here are the general steps. 1. Download and install virtualbox. Don't use VMware as it crashes with bsod when running techstream. 2. Download a Windows 10 32bit operating system. 3.Create a virtual machine using the Windows 10 32 bit. I named mine Techstream 18. You need to use 32bit OS to get the drivers to work easily...

First trip out this year with the canoes and thought I'd use that as an impetus to start a thread. Show us what you have. Both of these are Dagger Legend 16' canoes, the green one is about 25 years old and I keep thinking this the last trip for it; it's been beat on hard. The blue is a later Dagger Legend and lighter than the green. Both have had a lot of use over the years. Load well and ride well on the FJ60.

I have narrowed down my 2005 LX470 no heat issue to the blend door actuator. I removed mine, took it apart, cleaned it but the small circuit board is severely worn. I need to replace it. I have been looking for one for a couple weeks with no luck. I need a 87106-60120. Would anyone happen to have one?

Hi, I don’t see a post on rebuilding the A343F 4-spd transmission on the early 100series so I create this post to save basically all info I can find just in case 1 day I need to rebuild mine. Please feel free to contribute your know-hows. This manual is a must-have

Hey Team, My 1974 FJ40 lost several teeth on one of the gears in the transfer case and I just picked up this beauty to replace it. I have a few questions I am hoping you guys can help me out with. I don't know how to decode the stamping on this pad on the side of the transfer case. Can anyone tell me anything about this unit from the numbers in the picture? Who offers a good seal and gasket kit for this unit? I'd like it to keep most of the oil inside of it, the transmission loses... Read more

'21 71 series Randomly the windscreen washers have stopped working - rarely used. Wipers are still fine so it's not a fuse. Can't hear the pump working when stalk is engaged. Anyone else faced this issue and any fix apart from replacing the pump?

want to convert the 2nd row seats to two single seater any help?
By MissahPapaJ
Anyone have experience with this bumper? Mostly just wondering if it’s actually stout enough for real abuse? Been looking at slee or dissent front bumpers but I do like a full safari bar ( they suck eggs to work on the vehicle but they look cool ). Any advice would be great.

Hello internet, 6 months ago I purchased a clean 2016 GXL 76 Series Landcruiser, my dream car. I absolutely love everything about it and it has been my daily driver. It has a bullbar, snorkel, 33s, that’s it. My wife and I have a 2 week old baby girl and I’m now obviously more concerned about her safety. I’m hesitant to put a rear facing capsule in as although it can work and we can get it fitted to the middle seat of the rear row, I’m worried about what might happen in the event of a... Read more

It's been a minute since I posted anything here on the 100 Series forum. I may have mentioned that when I shipped the Model 77 to the US I took the opportunity to put in the back an OEM bull bar for the 1998 model 100 'Dhanno' that I had shipped to the US a year earlier. I've finally gotten around to taking a look at it in more detail, partly because I put it aside when a friend of my older boy managed to run into it while it was on the floor of the garage and bent a mounting bracket...

If I loosen the nut shown in the picture on the oil cooler, will radiator coolant or engine oil come out? I have disconnected the oil cooler and want to drain the coolant remaining inside it.

My 3rd row subwoofer blew out a few weeks ago and I finally got around to replacing it. Thought I do a quick write up in case anyone else has to go through this. The OEM JBL enclosure in my 2003 LC with Nav contains one Dual Voice Coil 5.75"" subwoofer. I replaced it with a 6" sub and had to trim away some plastic around the mounting surface with a dremel. Dual Voice coil means that there are two connector sets (4 wires) on the woofer. During the installation I found that the JBL sub... Read more

Not sure if this is the right place to post. It has taken forever to get these door limiter bumpstops done. Pictured is a sample with the original. They are made by injection moulding. They fit perfectly. Who is interested in a set of 4? I need to let the supplier know asap. If you are actually interested send me a DM. Once I have a number I can get pricing from the supplier.

Hey guys, I have been driving my 93 land cruiser on the highway and city with CDL on just to get a feeling how it feels because I wanna convert it to part time 4WD. My problem is when the TCASE is locked and I give the vehicle gas I can hear a whirring noise but when the vehicle is coasting or if I let go of the gas pedal the noise disappears. Should I be worried about this or it’s a normal operation when tcase is locked? The problem is not present if I just have the transfer case in... Read more

I built a car a few years ago and a few of my friends have tried to get me to build a toy version for awhile.. For what ever reason I felt like it might not be a terrible idea when a few of them asked me about it recently... So here we are making toy cars.. I ordered a bunch of 1/24 stuff to try to get a feel for a good starting point, these are quite a bit smaller than I expected but that is the size we agreed on. I have several options here and still heading... Read more

Hey All I covered this in my build thread, but figured would also make a separate post as well. During refresh of my suspension bits, I was baffled by how torn, worn, and toasted ALL of the bushings were. Replaced ALL with new OEM and it’s honestly a completely different truck. Night and Day improvement!! Other than the sway bar links, all of these LOOKED fine while on the truck. My truck was strictly used as a commuter and never ever seen dirt during its 215k life, and these are this... Read more

So I've got a '71 FJ40 that was already converted to disc brakes years ago with an aftermarket kit. So still running the stock outer axle setup. I'd love to get rid of the course spline outers and old Warn barrel hubs. Will a set of early mini truck outer axles and hubs bolt up by themselves? Or will they not work with the FJ40 knuckles? I can certainly swap the whole outer assembly if needed but then I need to find some (and I've already got discs that work great). The shafts themselves I... Read more

I'm trying to determine if the whine I'm hearing is normal or if it's 'now that I've heard it I listen for it all the time' kinda thing. The whine is only noticeable above about 50 mph, but is most annoying at about 70 mph. On really long trips it starts to drive me a bit crazy at the higher speeds, but I think that's largely because of funky harmonics in the cabin. It's got 193K on it and I've fairly recently changed the oil in it to see if that would help. No chunks came out and it was... Read more

Morning all! My first time posting in the 80 Series section. Have lots of wrench time on an ‘84 FJ45 Troopy and an ‘89 FJ62 but just starting the journey on a new - to me - 3x locked ‘97 FZJ80 (below). Lots for me to fiddle on/improve and on delivery, found the low-beam bulbs were dead so replaced them and in replacing the driver’s side, while fussing with the headlight housing, the grommet below seemed to drop out of nowhere. Looked hard for where it might have come from and examined the... Read more

Hey Fellas, please recommend a shop in OC that can solve my AHC issue. The suspension sometimes go really stiff without me changing the comfort level. Thanks.
