Please consider Chris for all your Toyota needs (any model). His attention to detail and impeccable work will not disappoint. He provides updates via text as the work progresses and also does mobile work in an emergency. I cannot recommend him enough.

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

I purchased my 2007 GX470 in January of 2025. The reason for the "build" title is that it won't be much of a build, just maintenance and small modifications. Not very interesting when compared to some of the real builds on this forum! It had 265k miles but a ton of maintenance records, including 2 timing belts, and a ton of odds and ends. The previous owner didn't do any maintenance himself but kept it in good shape. The reason he was selling was he was upgrading to a 460. This is a CT car... Read more

I finally made the switch to a 2024 LX600 Luxury and after a short 5 hours, I am happy but will still miss my 200. In nearly 30 months, my 2015 200 has visited over 40 states and Canada twice. Nearly 60,000 miles has taught me that driver aids can be a welcome addition. After looking for a while, I finally found a Manganese Luster with Palomino interior. I fully expect to be adding miles to this one just as I did the previous one. Already have a set of GX Overtrail wheels that will be... Read more

Searched the for sale section and nothing recent… Just in need of a rear LH dog leg. Took a pic if I’m not describing it right. If you have one, DM me price shipped to 75067.

Hello all, I figured I would move this here to start fresh, we would like to start hosting the monthly meetups at our cruiser shop in downtown Winston-Salem. Parking will be next door in the grass lot, I should have room for up to 20 or so vehicles. We can eat next door to our shop at Twisted Pine. Show up whenever you would like but it seems 6:30-7:00pm seems to work best for most people but if you would like to arrive early you’re welcome to pop in and say hello. We will try and shoot for...

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

Does anyone have wisdom about a current source for 74670-60040-B0 (or E0 if miracles still occur?) I thought I could still order them through Toyota, but I guess I was mistaken. Need one to finish up Julia's truck, and I'd like a second one for my project 80.

Around 200k miles on my GX470 and for a year or so Ive been having a delayed shift from R and N into D. I replaced the drive shaft and it seemed to help a little, but the delay was still there from time to time. (I also flushed the trans fluid and replaced the filter about a year ago but the delayed shift was still happening before the flush. Fluid level is correct) A month or so ago it started delaying the shift from 1st to 2nd occasionally, and when it did shift it was sometimes a hard... Read more

I searched and didn’t really see a thread on this. After decades of using cheap presses I finally got one I am not ashamed of. Also got this recently, lifetime warranty makes it worth it to me. Cheers

Mud, My A/C has stopped cooling, seemingly coincident with a car wash. In-cabin fuse is intact, but getting 0V at the clutch on the compressor. Was blowing cold just prior, so I’m thinking water intrusion somewhere is the likely culprit. Any help diagnosing would be much appreciated! 1998 FZJ70LV-MRUV

Yesterday @Lucky1386 asked if I could make the bumpers that fit in the strikers of the 60 tailgate. So I did, these are made of a flexible material and screw in from the back. He also wanted the upper hatch bumpers too.. The dude abides Lucky owes me installed pictures now, so bug him for those.

I am able to get some clothing from Carhart. I was thinking a jacket or a pair of bibs. If I can’t get both which would you prefer and what size. Please don’t respond to this post if you don’t usually go to the Fall Gathering thanks

I am new to the Dallas Area. We have rented a house in Forney while we figure out where we want to live. The land lord as well as the HOA says we cannot work on vehicles outside of the garage. While my 1994 FZJ 80 barely fits height wise in the garage, my new tow vehicle, 2021 Ram 2500 does not fit. I have a bunch of upgrades to do including a Hamilton cam upgrade and I need a place that I can park the truck and work on it for the next 4-6 weekends. It does not matter if the space is...

I recorded this video of a rattle that has been bothering me . I’ll try to capture a better but in the meantime have a look. I hear this sound on acceleration usually when the road is bumpy. I thought it was the AHC lines rattling against the rock slider brackets but it seems like there is more to it. TIA

I've had my 2000 LX since June and was aware of a seep from the power steering reservoir where the hoses run to the pump. I wasn't too worried about it since the fluid level was good and I had no issues. The LX didn't drip any fluids so I was OK with a 26 year old SUV seeping. Today, I went to take it out and saw an oil stain under it about the size of a dollar bill. It was below the front passenger side of the engine bay, where I would expect power steering fluid to be. I briefly climbed... Read more

How do you pre fill the oil filter on your HZ considering its orientation? I am a firm believer in prefilling your new oil filter. Thanks.

Hey everyone! I have been trying to find a way to get the Switch Hole Covers but I cant seem to figure out its part #. I have found these but they dont look like the same ones from the 60 dash, they are either more flat or a bit different: - 5553932010C0 - 5553932010C0 (The one I have is in the picture with the pointed arrow) If anyone's had any experience with these incase the OG ones are discontinued or has found another solution let me know! Side question: I have been playing around... Read more

Greetings all. I picked up this 1973 FJ40 last night from a local in the interior of Alaska and will be chronicling the journey here. The plan is to keep it rough enough around the edges to be able to do a bit of off roading and exploring and not feel too bad about scratching the paint. Pertinent details: 1973 FJ40 with seized original 1F engine. Original Warn/Bellview winch 5687. Original winch bumper and interior controls. Sunvisors still in plastic wrap!! Everything on the dash looks... Read more

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

I purchased a new OEM fuel pump for my Prado. Inside the inlet port they are different... new one looks 'ported', old one looks free flowing. Anyone have any insight to this? (Part # is the same) Thank you.

Hi all, I'm about to replace the steering shaft dust seal and thought I'd give the shaft a wobble. Would you consider this normal or excessive? If excessive, what can I replace? The flexible coupler ? What about the bush on the main shaft? Cheers Pete
