    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

    Revival of the African Queen

    By SteveH

    I mentioned a project truck in another thread ( Engine choice for '72 project? - help me decide - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/engine-choice-for-72-project-help-me-decide.1383314/ ) This post will be for the progress I'm making on re-vamping this turbo/EFI truck to being a lot closer to 'Toyota' and 'field fixable' (which are my goals). The African Queen moniker just comes from the movie, of course, and the fact that this is a beige FST, so it would look at home in an episode... Read more

    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

    2027 Purchase

    By austino

    So my wife needs a new vehicle and one of the possibilities on her list is a 2027 Land Cruiser. I absolutely hate the Toyota buying process where you cannot just order the vehicle exactly the way you want it and wait 3/4 months and there it is. But we have a fifth generation 4Runner with 400 K miles on it as well as two previous Tacoma‘s so I was aware of the process before even starting it. We are not really looking to make the purchase to possibly December or January but just looking over... Read more

    KZJ78W 1993 Fuel level issue

    By GreenKZJ78W

    So I recently bought a 1993 Toyota Land cruiser prado kzj78W and I had to replace the speedometer cable which then I removed the whole gauge cluster, the issue came when I decided to open up the cluster and when I was cleaning the gauges I accidentally moved the fuel gauge I thought nothing about it up until recently when I decided to fuel up full to the tank and noticed that my gauge dosent go all the way to the top it only goes to above the half line. So I thought I messed the cluster up... Read more

    Interesting 'Responder' ostensibly OEM Toyota bull bar

    By John Young

    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...

    1974 getting close to being on the road...

    By Southgaboy

    Long story but here is the condensed version, my late BIL bought "The Toyota " in the early 90's and used it primarily for hunting. Sadly He passed away in 1995 and the 40 ended up with His parents and they putted around the farm for several yrs till finally in around 2003 it was parked and it sat till this past Jan when I ended up with it. It has been a slow process since then but I am close to to getting it back on the dirt roads and fields. So far I have have replaced everything... Read more

    Trailing arms - replace bushings or get new arms?

    By SoCal818

    Forgive my ignorance on this. My trailing arms bushings are cracked and moving by hand, though only slightly. At 247k miles and 21-years old, I’m confident it’s time to replace the bushings. Here’s the question - is it generally better to swap the bushings or get aftermarket replacements? They sells replacement bushing kits but I don’t know how difficult it’ll be to knock out the old ones. ( 10x Toyota Sequoia (01-07) Rear Upper/Lower/Lateral Arm Bushing Polyurethane Bushing Kit -...

    Project Good Personality

    By jesus888

    Well… this is my second soirée in the 60 section. I built the last 62 almost as an homage to my childhood and my dad’s grey 62. I will always appreciate that truck as being a perfect example of what a well tuned all-Toyota drivetrain can do (albeit very slowly). I enjoyed my time with her and moved her down the road to someone that appreciated all of the OEM+ parts of that build. Then I saw a post by @Unimogguy about a friend that had an LS Swapped 60 that possibly was looking to... Read more

    **Arizona Gold - A 97' Land Cruiser Story**

    By rickashay

    OEM+: An Exercise in Restraint OEM+: the philosophy for this build. To me, OEM+ has always meant understanding why Toyota engineered these trucks the way they did and making thoughtful improvements that enhance the original vision rather than overwrite it. After two decades of owning Toyota 4x4s—and a stint as a Toyota parts manager—I've come to appreciate restraint just as much as modification. My hope is that this truck becomes the cumulative result of those lessons: a slightly more... Read more

    No need for thermostat?

    By MarkM

    Hi everyone, A couple of months ago I bought a 96 80 series. It sat for a few months Before I bought it, and I am slowly addressing some of the issues and base lining for reliability. I will be building the truck for camping and fishing excursions, as well as a winter 4x4. Today I drained and refilled the coolant with Toyota red. I drained from the lower hose, and filled with water to circulate once the engine came up to temperature. I left the cap off, and waiting for the thermostat to... Read more
