    Front wipers not returning to rest position

    By Teeter

    I'm having this issue with my 2001 where my wipers are not returning to the rest position, they just stop wherever they happen to be when I switch off the wipers. It doesn't seem to matter if I switch off directly from intermittent or from the slow/high speed (which sort of passes through intermittent anyways, so not sure if that matters). The problem seemed to happen overnight, wasn't gradual. The wipers seem to operate normally otherwise. FWIW, I recently installed a new receiver which I... Read more

    1990 HDJ81 Bad shake at idle while in gear

    By carguy81

    Hello, I've been chasing a problem for almost a year now. The truck is a 1990 HDJ81 with 120Ks. It started off barely noticeable, and only happened when the truck had been driving for 20min+. When riding the brakes in gear, it would start to shake, but not badly during the first couple months. It wouldn't shake if I had the truck in 2nd when in stop-and-go traffic. Eventually, it started to do it in 2nd as well, and at some point I noticed smoke out the exhaust. Now it shakes so bad in any... Read more

    Hey there, came here for FJ45 interaction info but I'll post my GX daily too!

    By Kevo1288

    Bought this rig March 2025 with 212k , originally from Florida picked up in PA, super clean rot and rust wise. Bought this one because it was a base without the NAV. Had the most minor headgasket failure I have ever seen at cylinder 6 , drove with it to and from work no issues for a year and a half and about 2 months ago decided to finally take care of it, now has 258k miles. Its a very basic build setup for my wants and needs, which is a comfortable, good looking, daily driver that can go... Read more

    Mark Levinson door speaker and subwoofer upgrade

    By VR6GURU

    I have replaced the rear subwoofer and all 4 door speakers on my 05 LX and could not be happier. It did take some trial and error and gathering some info from multiple threads on here. Figured I would write up my experience in case others are looking to do the same. I chose to not re-foam my speakers as I felt that the existing speakers were very old and the sound quality could be improved upon. I am by no means an audio installation expert, but my setup has been working just fine for some... Read more

    Heads Up Display Mod for HDJ-81 Cruisers

    By MUDZLLA

    Decided to modify the current HUD in a HDJ-81. The existing one has an analog compass and altimeter - neither of which works very well or at all. I I decided on a GPS based display along with analog compass and analog inclinometer. Heres the existing display - face is about 5-6cm High by about 20cm wide: Purchased a couple items from Alibaba that looked like they could fit the bill... Analog compass: Analog inclinometer... Multi-Mode GPS Display... Read more

    2017 LX570 to GX550 Overtrail+?

    By prez1967

    Im searching but not finding a ton of feedback… Anyone coming from a 2016+ LC200 to a current GX550 Overtrail? The LX has been in our family since 2020 and weve covered ~130k miles in it. We also have a 2016 GX460 that has 140k miles on it (Dobinsons/ light overland build, currently overseas) Im debating putting the LX up for sale. Its still worth some $$ and maybe having a newer truck would be fun. Ive always preferred the more compact GX to the larger LX. I hear reports of more wind... Read more

    Is this Ambulance door fixable?

    By 4dmalamute

    I am not a welder so was wondering if this is something that is fixable or not worth it? In the middle of painting/working on a hardtop I purchased for my FJ40 and I knew one of the doors had rot...but I figure the price was right and I was going to salvage all the internal parts and window worse case. Do you think this is fixable? If so, any suggestions for a welder in the Sacramento area who might be able to fix this? Cheers.

    Work In Progress aka: Badass

    By NeverGiveUpYota

    Female enthusiast off and on mud since '10 but first cruiser in hand was in 5/'08 thanks to a young guy I was dating who had a wealth of mechanical know how... that truck became my DD in 6/'10 after my little kermit the frog green kia rio threw a piston in her second engine (first went just before 100K so was covered under warrenty) and I chose to let her go to the Cape Cod dump. She served me well for almost 8 years. I then really became acquainted to my '84 Rootbeer brown FJ60 I bought... Read more

    Persistent fuel starvation : Bad 12HT injection pump?

    By KeepCruzin

    I diesel swapped my FJ40, and I've had some persistent, though intermittent fuel issues. Setup: - 12HT, fully rebuilt by myself - New injectors - Original injection pump (no-rebuild, likely 200k miles or so) - Twin fuel tanks: Factory fuel tank up front, custom fuel tank in the rear, aircraft tank-switching valve system to swap tanks. - Inline filter after each tank, then selection valve, then fuel-water separator, factory priming pump, factory fuel filter, injection pump. I have... Read more

    FJ60/62 Radiator Hardware (GROMMETS / INSULATOR SPACERS)

    By ChaserFJ60

    I cannot for the life of me find anything on this little rubber grommet or the hardware used to mount the FJ60 radiator. Seemingly none of the aftermarket radiators come with any grommets or hardware. Does anyone know the part number for this little grommet? (Photo from Radiator for Land Cruiser FJ60 FJ62 - https://www.cityracerllc.com/products/radiator-for-land-cruiser-fj60-fj62 ) The other lower two are NLA looking for an alternative there as well...

    By iptman

    I search for a valve cover gasket DIY/FAQ thread but couldn't find one. Is my searchfoo not working or does one not exist? I've done the front axle service but wires and vacuum hoses scare me so I'm not looking forward to replacing this gaskets. I got a lot of oil seep from both the front and and rear of the valve cover gasket. Thanks.

    What did you do with your Tundra or Sequoia this weekend?

    By Bryanseye

    Couldn't find one of these threads here so I am starting one. Loaded up the family and took the Blue Ridge Parkway from Asheville to the Heintooga Ridge Road loop, then through Great Smokey Mountain National Park and into Gatlinburg. I don't think the kids know how spoiled they were traveling through this landscape. Saw a few elk which is a big deal for this southern flat lander, and got to use the CDL when I pulled off the road to let a horse trailer go by and felt the rear passenger... Read more

    Wilma Build

    By LLTB

    I bought this rig in August of 2024 from Erich ( @RS6tofj80 ) here on mud. He had already done quite the build on the rig (details below) and it was in pretty good shape. Erich also had all his paperwork and receipts for everything he had done to the ride. My son and I flew to Virginia to pick it up and we drove it home to Utah in two days, spending a couple of uncomfortable but memorable nights in the rig. Along the ride home we had plenty of time to notice quirks and things about... Read more

    Silly purchase - propane fire pit.

    By TheIcemanCometh

    This fallI I did several trips that were cool but not that cold (for me). After dinner it would have been nice to have a small fire. However, in most areas I frequent fires are often prohibited. Also in general woods fires are a bane. As such, I started looking at small fire pits. There are some really nice ones out there but their cost is prohibited. Large ones are really nice but are too large. While searching, I stumbled upon this mini fire pit made by FlameKing . It does not put... Read more

    1989 FJ62 Cranks, starts up, stalls, and starter keeps engaging even with key out.

    By marinatedketchup

    Recently been having some starting problems with my land cruiser. This problem only seems to happen when its below freezing. The engine cranks over and starts up but immediately idles really low and eventually stalls out after a few seconds, when it stalls out or i turn the key off, the starter is engaged and cranking the engine but will not start it. The only way to make it stop is to unplug the battery. I replaced the ignition switch because it didn't make sense to me that the starter... Read more

    Any cheap Amazon/Ebay radiators you'd recommend.

    By MikePL

    I've been chasing some minor overheating issues with the 1997 FZJ80. 1. Thermostat seems OK because the vehicle heats up fast and then stays at 85*C for long periods of time when driving in colder weather. 2. New Aisin blue fan clutch. It helped bring the temps down a lot The only piece left in the puzzle is the radiator. My symptoms are the following... When I am on flat ground in colder weather I get 85-90*C just like the thermostat is supposed to hold the temperature. No matter if I'm... Read more

    80 Series sunroof delete kit

    By kelly saad

    Lets try this again. I had some odd people contacting me about this product from that last thread, so I deleted it. Hopefully that doesn't happen again. This is a complete replacement of the sunroof assembly. 18 gauge steel panel with frame attaches to the existing roof and covers the sunroof opening. The unit attaches securely with bolt-on clamps that tighten the panel to the roof, using windshield urethane in between the two pieces for a weatherproof seal. 12 gauge aluminum... Read more
