    Drive train Squeaking.

    By racevws

    Just noted this last night. At low speeds, like 0-15 MPH, I am getting a squeak from under the truck. Too fast to be a brake dragging or something around the wheels. I lubed up the rear DS (had done this recently, maybe a year ago, less than 3k miles.) The front Drive shaft, I got to the rear U joint before running out of grease at 10pm last night. Seems almost more like rubber squeaking. I did drive it through a DEEP puddle a few weeks ago (about 2 inches of water coming in the doors), but... Read more

    LX 470 Wheel Options

    By mtnboy22

    Hi, new owner of a 2002 LX470. It has a 2.5-inch Old man Emu lift with Nitrogear upper control arms. I am currently in the market for new wheels and tires. Current set that came on it are 275/65R18 Bridgestone Blizzaks and they aren’t rubbing. I don’t want to run winter tires all year and would like a full second set I could run and be able to change out the full wheel set myself. Been debating 16-18” wheels and am liking the thought of 16s to be better for off roading. I live in... Read more

    2019 LX570 - Tundra Steelies…fitment

    By ronnunan

    I’ve used the steelies from a tundra before on a 470 but I wanted to put them on my 2019 Lx570. They appear to be hitting the brake caliper. It’s really close but won’t seat fully on the hub… If I add a 1.25” spacer, shouldn’t that make the clear the caliper? Does anyone have them or is familiar with this issue-

    Battery…..

    By sfo1

    I had an interstate battery in my 08 and it lasted two years and I returned it for warranty. They replaced it with the same thing and it lasted a whopping two years again. I live in a mild climate too. what are the preferred battery brands? Also, looking to see what manufacturer makes the OEM Toyota battery and I read its Panasonic? Can anyone confirm?

    Carburetor Rebuild Question

    By My77FJ

    Hey, I’m looking to have my carburetor rebuilt by a guy who’s a couple of hours away from me. I was wondering if you’d recommend purchasing a rebuild kit ahead of time for him to use, or if I should let him supply his own parts. Also, do you know if this is the original OEM carburetor? I’m not familiar with the brand name and wanted to check before moving forward. Thanks in advance!

    UZJ100 to UZJ105: SAS build

    By UZJ105

    I'm starting my SAS build February 26. Initial work will be a two day HAMOM with a group of knowledgeable and capable friends. They will be tackling all of the technical elements of the build, as I am not a welder or expertly mechanical. I'll be jumping in where I can and will try to document as much as possible. Below are a couple of pictures of where the truck started and where it is now.

    "The Milk Truck" FJ45 Preservation Sorta

    By Tank5

    I purchased what would become the foundation of this build a year and a half ago. After I purchase it life happened and in short order I had listed the 1965 SWB R/T for sale. While it was for sale things changed and my wife named it "The Milk Truck". Now that it had been named it seemed appropriate to keep it, so I have. The Milk Truck was very modified and fun as a flatbed utility truck but my preference would have been to have a SWB that was more stock looking and figured I would... Read more

    Questions re: CEL code reading with paperclip

    By mudgudgeon

    So, my 80 had the CEL showing recently. I have a TOYOBD1 code reader, but it's rarely works. So I tried to read the codes using a paperclip. Jumped TE1 & E1, turned on the ignition. CEL blinked, but no codes, just a steady blink until the key was turned off. After removing the paperclip, and turning ignition back on, the CEL is gone. What's the deal here? Did the ECU decide the codes aren't relevant anymore? Does jumping TE1-E1 to read codes typically clear them afterward?

    Hail Damage and Rack Caps

    By hughjass

    New to the forum! A very long story, but I'm in the process of buying my first Land Cruiser (06, out of state), and days before we were supposed to close on the deal, a hailstorm rolled through and dinged it to hell. Considering San Diego doesn't get much hail, does anyone have a good body shop they'd recommend for paintless dent repair? Additionally, all four roof rack end caps were destroyed, so if anyone has a lead on those, that would also be greatly appreciated.

    Refinished 2016+ fading front Toyota logo.

    By pdosescu

    My 2016 with 136k had a pretty faded front Toyota emblem. With this having the integrated radar, I didnt find a cost effective replacement so I refinished it with the Sylvania headlight restoration kit. I followed the process in the instructions and I’m pleased with the results. Took about 30 minutes and 1 Modelo. Cost was $20. This product seems to have the longest lasting finish according to various YouTube reviewers. Worst case scenario, I have to redo it… Just sharing in case... Read more

    Roo - A Rusty, Crusty, Euro Spec LJ70 VX

    By DangerNoodle

    Well, I'm a glutton for punishment and seem to like making bad finacial decisons. I also am a sucker for RHD. I've worked on a lot of 70 series and have always liked them, and they've always been more than I want to spend on a projcet for how far I usually go. I'm mostly a 40 guy, but this popped up pretty local to me, and for a stupid good price. 1992 LJ70 VX. 2LT, and I think R150. Interior is in great shape, the wiring harness has been demolished, but it runs. Super crusty, but I'm not... Read more

    You've been spotted

    By jdayment

    I know there's already a random picture thread but I felt that a dedicated cruiser spotting is always nice. If people don't agree mods can delete. I spotted this LX470 with what looked like KO2s and a frontrunner roof rack in Scottsdale today across from my bother in laws house.

    New Owner - First Post

    By RadLife

    Hi all, just bought my family a 2001 LX470 with 127k miles. Looking forward to learning a lot from this forum and hopefully contributing. I also have an '06 Dbl Cab Tundra, so I'm somewhat familiar with the engine, but I'm a complete noobie when it comes to the rest of our 100 series.

    JDM KZJ78 build journey

    By GTLOGTD

    Picked up my JDM 1994 Land Cruiser Prado SX KZJ78W in September 2025. I retired as a police officer in Indiana after 28 years and this was my retirement gift to myself. I typically try to take a trip out west at least once a year but I haven't been able to go anywhere for the last 5 years. Starting in 2019 with the militant leftist riots that posed too much of a risk in getting hung up on the interstate and having a group of violent rioters putting me in a position to... Read more

    A/C Woes-it’s the little things

    By 2mbb

    So last year I converted my A/C from R12 to R134a refrigerant. I built new hoses and changed the drier, the expansion valve, the thermistor (still available from Toyota),etc. I did not replace the compressor or the condenser or the evaporator. I used the Toyota TSB to guide me. Another thing I needed was the adapters the convert the R12 fittings over to quick connect fittings used for R134a. Everything went OK and it did work when finished but I did struggle with getting the refrigerant... Read more
