    The Divide 1988 XtraCab Rehab

    By cbmontgo

    I was perusing the local Rising Sun forum and saw a post about an '88 Toyota plow truck for sale right down the road from me in Divide, Colorado. I'm mostly a Land Cruiser guy, but always liked these trucks and knew I'd buy one if I found a decent one. So I get in touch with the owners and run down the road to take a look. Original owners, 141,000 miles with the 5-speed and the 22RE. We agreed on a number and I nervously drove it home. It hadn't run in over two years, but fired up and... Read more

    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?

    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

    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

    My First 40

    By My77FJ

    Hey everyone! I wanted to share some pictures of my new project, a 1977 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 with 68,000 miles on the odometer. I’m located in Montana and recently picked this one up in California. From what I can tell, it has minimal rust for its age and appears to be a pretty complete, mostly original truck with OEM parts and no aftermarket modifications that I’ve noticed. I’m new to restoring these, so I’m learning as I go. One thing I’m currently dealing with is a mouse infestation... Read more

    Vibration when turning right + gas pedal ... thoughts.

    By blackohio

    So I get a vibration which feels like a binding outer CV, except I have replaced both CV's with moderate angle CVJ axles. (oem toyota CV's) noise is present before and after. Now, it doesnt do it when turning left either coasting or giving it gas, and it seemingly only does it when turning rights and giving it gas. Turning right and coasting yields no real evident issue. I've looked over anything I can think of and now im wondering one of two things. Steering shaft yoke or front... Read more

    Harrop E-Locker using OEM Switch and Dash Lights in a HDJ81 / FJ80

    By Malahki

    I decided to put this thread together for anybody wanting to wire Harrop E-Lockers into an HDJ81 or FJ80 using the OEM locker switch and locker dash lights. I found most of the info spread out over a couple of other 'Harrop" threads and wanted to put it all together in one place and add some pictures and diagrams. I will not be focusing on the actual locker install or setting up of gears. For that I simply removed my 3rd and shipped it to Ken (AKA Zuk) at Toyota Gear Install Harrop ... Read more

    Klip's FJ62 revival

    By klip

    What is up fellow cruiser heads. First of all thanks for all the great information on this forum, it has really helped out and givin me a lot of great ideas. Well 5 years ago I sold my 1984 Toyota pick up and bought a 1989 FJ62 with 270,000 miles on it. I have pretty much been using it as a daily driver and now it has 313,000 miles, and then, it died. Up until it died it has been extremely reliable, gutless and gas guzzlin, but reliable. I have slowly been troubleshooting the not start... Read more

    Forget Retrobrite??? the lowest cost H4 reflector headlight test

    By skrit

    I paid $18.37 including tax for everything you see and picked up from my local Toyota dealership. I plan to use Amazon LED lamps in them if they perform better than halogen. Comes with wiring harness, relays and halogen lamps. They appear to be much better quality than the standard ones (shown at the left). My goal is to have a headlight similar to Holley Retrobriite at a fraction of the price. Once I get my lamps, I'll do a test to show beam pattern and light output.

    Early door handle thumb-button fix...

    By Pighead

    I stole this idea from the "Yukon Jack" thread posted by @diesellibrarian . I saw the pic and said "Aha! That's so crazy that it just might work!" diesellibrarian said: View attachment 4231022 Click to expand... Seems that the PO had the same problem I was having. Problem is the metal tab that the thumb-button pushes against is thin and flimsy and bends away so that the thumb-button no longer works. You can see that Toyota added a threaded bit to end of the thumb-button rod on the later handles to address the problem. In... Read more

    Dipstick Reading on 3UR-FE...overfilled?

    By george bluth

    I've used the search function (perhaps poorly) to find on answer on this subject, and I've not been able to find an answer. That said: I just had the oil changed at my local Toyota/Lexus indy on my new-to-me late model 200, after which I checked the oil level under various conditions (engine warm, engine cold, letting the oil settle in the dipstick tube for 5 minutes, everything suggested I could find on the internet for an accurate reading). And, I'm seeing each time the oil filled to this... Read more

    Lexus ES-350e Less Than Impressive

    By Steadfast

    Toyota's Best is Less Than Impressive And Is Still Pricey This isn’t a full blown modern software experience like you'd find on a BMW iX3, for example. You can’t stream videos while the car is charging. The voice assistant can’t handle conversational commands just yet. Changing drive modes requires four taps on the screen when using phone mirroring and three when navigating through the native system, which was frustrating. (Drive modes should have a dedicated physical button and not... Read more

    Another A750F issue

    By GCCFZJ

    Just purchased a 2004 GX470 228k miles, never test drove it cold. I drove from LA to Salt Lake City and always let it get to operating temperature. It drove flawless, and never missed a shift, flared, hunted or delayed in shifting. I stopped in Salt Lake City and let a Toyota dealer install two new OEM front axles; great price on parts and install. Told the service advisor I was pretty happy with the car, he responds with something about other than the transmission issues. Thinking he's... Read more

    Cruiser shop in Salt Lake City

    By Demonic92

    Hey all, I'm moving to SLC soon and I'm dreading the idea of finding a new mechanic shop I like. In WA state/Seattle, we have Torfab and there's a shop called Pacific Rim Auto that I really like. Does anybody have a good shop in SLC or surrounding area for an 80 series Land Cruiser? Sounds like Mark Miller Toyota is a safe option, but it's still a dealership... Also, for brake work, I've always taken my cars to a separate shop that specializes in brakes because it has always been cheaper... Read more

    Late to the game 80 owner lol

    By 8bucksleft

    Hey guys! I figured since I recently bought an 80 series I’d join the forum. I picked up a 97 Lexus LX450 Canadian spec a few weeks ago from a friend and it’s been a blast and adjustment to say the least haha, especially since coming from the Raptor and Super Duty world that I’ve been apart of for the last 14 years. I haven’t owned a Toyota since my 08 Tacoma.. but it’s sure nice to be back in behind the wheel of one! I’m looking forward to learning a lot from everyone who still posts... Read more
