Soft top hack
By igotta40
Where the canvas goes over the windshield frame I glued some small bits of leather so the canvas won’t get cut, also a weatherstripping piece between the frame and the keeper strip.

2014 LX570 - Radar Cruise Replacement Help
By mobiusxero
Hey all, Lurker for awhile here with a 2014 LX. She was involved in a minor fender bender and I decided I wanted to fix it myself as it did not seem too bad in my book. Initial walkthrough of the damaged parts, all bolt on replacement parts. I got everything ordered up and was in the process of swapping things out and ran into a strange issue. The replacement millimeter wave sensor PN 88210-60090 (Confirmed from old part.) does not seem to line up. It was a used sensor so... Read more

Setting up an 87 ifs 4Runner for trails
By JohnMerk
I never had the intention to start wheeling my 4Runner because it was just a cool daily driver but then I had it on a lift to fix the rusted gas line. Well the driver side floor pan is also significantly rusted away so all my care went out the window. So with that i grabbed a set of used trail gear rock sliders for 75$ and swapped over to a set of 33x12.5s no lift yet but i might change my mind. They hit what little is left of the pinch weld but I'll beat that... Read more

Finished Bitza!
By anothernz45
Hi, here's a build thats chewed up 4 years but pretty happy with finished truck. I'm a small time cropping farmer in Canterbury, NZ, and have destroyed a couple of FJ45s we used as sprayers for 25 odd years, 1979 thru 2005. They never died, the old 2Fs with a ton and a half of spray and rig on would just go out and do the business, boiling most of the time if cereals were flowering, then do the same again the next day. Don't think they're even water cooled, more like petrol cooled. They... Read more
Test fitters for 3rd Row Seat Delete
By marcus clarkus
Hi all, I’m new to forum and coming from a 1999 4Runner 5-speed. I just sold it after 10 years of ownership and bought my dream car! Black LC200 (2017) I have a long list of 3D printed parts I want to make for my LC200. First up, I removed my 3rd row seats and need a plastic cover for the seat mounts so my dog doesn’t rip her nail on the ugly hole/bracket that’s left behind: (in the rear cargo area) I started with a 3D scan using my phone, then loaded it into CAD software...

Dash Pot
By rockcod
I’m a long time member of mud, but on the 40 and 45 side. This is my first post over here on the 4Runner side. I just picked up a 95 limited, V6, 4x4 automatic. When I got it it had a misfire on #2 no cel. I’m in the process of chasing that down, but my issue is when I removed the TB I bumped the dash pot and broken the plastic end. I’ve looked on line and it is discontinued, am I screwed or can I run without it? Thanks in advance.
GFC Topper on 84-88 P/U
By Toast
Been a while since I’ve posted on here. Bought a GFC topper a few months ago and haven’t seen very many out there so I figured I’d post it up when it comes. It’s due to arrive in 3 weeks or so. Decided it was a good time to pull the bed and raptor line the bed and underside. Built a bed dolly that would accommodate the bed both right side up and upside down. Turned out great. Power washed everything then started scuffing and sanding. So much sanding. I bought this bristle cup brush that... 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
Jerk/Shock in 1st gear.
By FancyPrado
Hello, I've had my 2019 GX for about 6 months now and it’s currently sitting at 52k miles. I'm having an issue with a harsh jerk/clunk when slowing down and getting back on the gas before coming to a complete stop. It only does it in 1st gear. For example, I'm pulling up to a stop sign and don't come to a complete stop and get back on the gas under 5mph there is this violent jerk/shock/clunk coming from under/in front of me. I can feel and hear the sensation and it feels like something is... Read more

By 90WT
Back by popular demand, the Relic Run is being offered for the distinguished vintage Toyota owner. Another chance to get your old pal out of town and on the trails before winter sets in. Speeds are low, fun is high. 1989 and older seems about right. But everyone is welcome to join.

The Cook Shed
By WarDamnEagle
Our youngest son spent some time working in Texas and became a little obsessed with brisket - eating and cooking. He eventually sketched out an offset smoker that could be built out of CMU blocks and talked me into finding a spot for this endeavor on our property. We first looked around my shop which is down the hill about 400' or so from the house but we ultimately decided closer to the house would be better. We found a shady spot at the base of the hill below the house and leveled off a... Read more
Hokie's 2005 LX470 - Here we go again
By Hokie LX
Here we are again! Picked up a 2005 LX470 this weekend from Denver and road-tripped it back to NC. Let's recap...I bought my 2003 LX ( Thread ) back in 2016 and owned it until 2025 as my daily when I sold it to a buddy in CO in favor of a 2004 Ford Excursion 6.0 - more space, more power, more towing capability, more spooly noises. It was my first cruiser and I had a lot of adventures in that truck and made a lot of friends as a result. Well, I have missed the LX as I grew quite fond of... Read more
80 series ride height
By jun85
Evening, I have installed an OME 2inch lift kit on my 80 series. Initially, it was sitting way too high at the rear, so changed the springs to 2860s (from 2863). Front has 850s. To me the rear still sits a bit high but I haven’t fitted the arb bullbar (non winch) or the spare wheel underneath the rear. Does this look right to you? Wheel arches to be fitted as well. It’s got 33s on and don’t want to give it a big lifted look and want to keep it looking relatively stock with just a few... Read more
My LC79 build, HZJ79 body, 2uz 4.7/A343f UZJ79
By sr5pickup
Decided to post my build here post completion. A big thanks to this forum, tons of info and knowledge here! This build is really not too much different from what you’ve already seen except for my choice of engine/trans. I completed most of the work myself at home in my garage. Majority of 79 series parts are new/oem so things like steering column and dash had to be bought piece by piece and put together. Been working on it for the last year and half. I decided to use a 2uz/auto a343f (100... Read more

The Great ONSC Gun Thread
By erymer
Ok guys and gals. I figured since we hijacked the hell out of Ryan's thread we should start a gun thread. We need a place to talk about any and all things gun related. Hunting, shooting sports, concealed carry....whatever you want. If you are looking for advice or just want to post up some gun porn then have at it. Enjoy.
Wheel bearing question…
By Biginboca
My 2011 GX460 160k miles is making a noise like a propeller in an airplane. It is speed dependent and becomes audible around 15-20mph and increases in frequency with speed up to at least 80mph, loudest between 50-60mph. I thought it was the aging Ridge Grappler tires because it sounded maybe like mud tire tread blocks, but but I just replaced my tires with quiet AT’s and it’s still there, maybe even more noticeable now because the new tires are very quiet. When I brake hard to a stop and... Read more
1966 FJ 40 3 to 4 speed transmission swap
By antiquecollector5
Hello. Still working on this beauty. It now drives, but the gear case sounded rattly and has a horrible oil leak on the drive shaft to the front wheels. It is a 3 speed transmission with a transfer case that uses vacuum from the engine to shift into 4 wheel drive. When I purchased this vehicle, it came with a spare 4 speed transmission and transfer case that appears to be in very good shape at least externally and looking inside thru a couple of covers, all the gears look in fine shape...
