    08 Gx470 Stero (factory nav)

    By teamcurtis

    I'm sure everyone is annoyed with this topic by now, but i had a few questions i haven't seen answers to. Head unit Options Subwoofer Options My main goal is to have improved sound. I'll admit it would be nice to have a nav screen that doesn't look like its so old. The options that seem appealing to me are the Vline V2 or converting to non-nav climate control and adding a stereo. Regardless I will replace the main speakers in the truck. What is the general consensus on the Vline? Is it... Read more

    driver window squeak

    By thegreatgazoo

    My driver side window makes a loud squeak when going up or down. It does it only when the car is cold - after a few ups downs the noise would disappear but the next day it comes back again. Also, it seems to squeak only when the window is near the middle position. I thought it would just need some fresh grease. Today I removed the door panel, cleaned and greased the steel bracket part where the scissor gear attached to the bottom of the window. No luck at all. The squeak was much louder... Read more

    2010 LX570 HVAC Leak - Diagnostic Help Requested

    By LXinOBX

    Hey all! Searched, but no luck finding a similar enough thread to add on to... Issue: 2010 LX has a slow freon leak, done an evac and refill (w dye) - shop cannot find a leak. They did the refil this past Monday. I chose this shop because they did amazing work on an issue with this trucks predecessor, a '98 Lx470, mitigating a rear AC line leak. But, I think these guys (they've grown dramatically) just aren't the "same" as they were 10 years ago. I know there is a leak as I added a... Read more

    The Dirty Pig From Paris

    By cruiserinsanity

    I have my first Pig. Back at Christmas I was sending messages to friends and checking in on people to see how they were doing. One of those people was @USMC22 We started talking about projects and such and what we had going, and somehow from that conversation Jerry asked me if I wanted his Pig. We reached an agreement on it and yesterday we followed through. I brought Jerry one of my diesel Benz's and some cash and left with the Pig. Jerry... Read more

    Crosswind flapping noise

    By Sandroad

    When in a strong crosswind coming from the drivers side (and not from the passenger side) I get a loud flapping/clunking noise coming from the back part of the ‘17 LC. It’s not subtle. When I have it up on ramps soon for maintenance I’m going to use a leaf blower to look for something loose. Any suspected things to check?

    Question about bearing loads in V35A.

    By dms

    ASSUMING bearing failure in the V35A may be from loads placed on main bearings in high torque situations (I know this does not appear to be a proven hypothesis), what situations create the most load on main and rod bearing? I have to drive up hill in my driveway to get to the house and my V35A sounds like it is working harder between the 1000 to 2000 rpm range than cruising a 85 mph. Luckily, my 24 LX (on recall list) has continued to stay together (65k miles) but I have really started... Read more

    02 Land Cruiser Head Unit in a 95 Land Cruiser. Will it work?

    By 84T4R

    The stock CD player on my 95 Land Cruiser. My wife enjoys tapes and CD’s so she wants me to keep an OEM head unit and not update to a touchscreen. I was doing some research and found that there’s a Bluetooth plug in adapter for 99-02 Land Cruiser / Sequoia / 4Runner / etc.. head units. I found one for cheap at my local junkyard and brought it home today. After doing a bit deeper research on the JBL head unit I purchased I’m seeing that JBL head units will not work in non JBL vehicles due... Read more

    Proud Hilux LN112 owner in the states, looking for 3L parts and improvements

    By BigNJpn

    Recently sold my HiAce for this beaut of a JDM RHD Hilux. The importer is a good friend and they gave the old girl a thorough maintenance sweep. I'm used to using northwesttoys for my Diesel needs, but hoped you wizards might have some advice on keeping her running smooth and improving performance. My model specific search hasn't led to a lot so I'm hoping folks can recommend some adjacent model numbers that have similar parts or options. Thanks on advance; glad to be here!

    1997 Hilux LN107 3L RHD

    Hi everyone, I would like to introduce myself with my build I started exactly a year ago . There I was, buying a Hilux with 0 knowledge on 4x4 trucks from a neighbor who decided it is time to move on with a new one. Little I know in what condition this one was :/. All I needed was a 4x4 vehicle to drive to our old house and farm up in the hills. RHD oh man, a challenge , let's try it. I won't lie, the first time I sit in it, started that engine, a unexpected reflex smile was on my... Read more

    By chukiechz

    well, today as my wife is leaving, she complains that she turns the key and nothing happens. I go out to see, and it seems like the ignition or tumbler has borken off in the "off" position. Turning the key does nothing, cant even get accessory power. I now have to tow it in to my mechanics for him to look at it

    2UZ / A440 Swap

    By kkormann

    Hello all. Working on a 1991 FJ80L-GNPNEA. It is bone stock aside from OME suspension, ARB bumpers, and the Nomad valve body. It has a 3FE engine and an A440 transmission. I’ve been hunting for the bell housing Toyota made to Bolt the 2UZ to the A440 transmission (PN 35111-60110) and finally found it. My question is…. I’m sure someone has done this swap so a few questions: Does the 2UZ engine clear the firewall when bolted to the stock transmission stock location? Looking under the hood... Read more

    Don't hate me, but... How about an FJ40 "Hoonicorn" concept?

    By CCA

    A friend reached out because he knows I've owned a Toyota for a long time. His neighbor has a Supra with a 2JZ-GTE, and wants it gone. I also have access to a great body, front clip, and hardtop for what appears to be a 74' FJ40. I can pick up all this stuff for under $3K... My wife loves things loud and fast. She almost bought a Mustang a while back, but I talked her out of it. Granted, I don't have any time to work on this right now, but building up a square frame rail chassis... Read more

    Unexpected hubs

    By lantcruiser

    Hey all, first post! Have been working through a 1973 FJ40 and ran into these hubs. They were inside a tight fitting chrome cover that required lots of work just to get to the bolts. There were some odd washers as well. I have no idea how they even installed this chrome sleeve but nonetheless here’s what was underneath. Can anyone help me identify the model and what it might be from? Searching so far has not turned up anything stock on a 40. These are red because the PO painted everything... Read more

    Should I have my silver BBS pro wheels powder coated bronze like the HEs?

    By dnh1

    I can't decide. Mine are kind of chipped up and need to be refinished. I like that mine are unique, but I also do like the HE bronze. Mine are the same wheels just were originally the black ones and powdercoated silver. At the time I got my truck in 2019 the bronze wheels were not available. I have been going back in forth on it. I have a local shop that will do all of them and mount and balance the tires for less than one bronze HE wheel costs. (PS I know... Read more

    Rake Dilema

    By 1shetan

    We have just finished installing an Mt64 2" lift on our 2017, it was work, but great satisfaction doing our own. The kit came with the struts assembled, 4010 front springs and 2721 rears. The LC has no accessories nor the 3rd row seats. Net lift was 1" in the front and 1 3/4 " rear. Why? We were informed when the kit was purchased that the clip would be on the second groove from the bottom on the struts. The rake is more extreme (would prefer rake as the factory set up), the...

    2000 LC 4" Sub Replacements

    By mhettleman

    The 4 inch "subs" in my 2000 LC are blown and need to be replaced. I've already replaced everything else, including the head unit. Has anyone else replaced these with a good aftermarket option? I've looked on mud and most have had fitment issues. I don't really care about adding more bass, just want to get rid of the rattle. TIA
