    100 Series VSC Light and Loose Steering

    By mousecruizer

    My 100 series Lx470 has developed a new issue and I'm not sure what it is exactly but thinking the steering rack bushings. When turning right my steering feels super loose and takes a lot more to turn right before it actually turns right whereas compared to left and even the left there is a bit of play but not as much. When I'm steering right for a while and going a steady 45+mph the VSC light turns on and starts beeping. Just been feeling pretty unsafe to drive lately. Reading previous... Read more

    His 80 and Her 80 tandem build thread

    By hisandhers80s

    So I found an add on Facebook for a 4/1994 FZJ 80 with a clean frame, a 3” OME lift, ARB Safari bumper, 12k Winch, and a custom rear tire carrier and customer roof rack. Truck has 238,000 miles on it, and it came with a “parts” 80 which is a 5/1990 FJ 80. The plan was to use body parts on the 1990 and part the rest out. Once I got home with both trucks, I started messing around with the parts truck to see what was usable and what was not. The 92 (Soon to be called Her 80) had a bad relay... Read more

    My 1975 2F Holley Sniper Install….

    By knuckle47

    I figured there are several Sniper builds listed and I enjoy every one of them. I know I will second guess half of what I am doing so I will post a few photos and curse phrases while I am getting this slowly done…it at the fuel tank stage currently so here are a pictures and comments. I was a little surprised with the discovery of a new poly fuel tank. I assumed the old steel tank might have a few weeping spots from age and always smelled a faint fuel smell. Turns out that was from a... Read more

    The P0441 Thread

    By bemerritt

    Smelling gas, gas vapors out the fill up tube and error codes. Seems to be fairly common amongst the 200 series when in 4lo, at high altitude and with high temps. Sometimes with only one or two of those contributors. I finally got my first code, P0441 this past weekend. It was rather annoying as I initially didn't clear it so i could do more research on it before clearing it, but that did not allow me to shift out of 4lo back into 4hi. I know many have had similiar issues but didn't see... Read more

    2018 GCC Spec GRJ79 LX build

    By fl4031003

    Just getting started on this, I am still in the parts Collecting stage, this will get going once I finish my 60/80 build that’s about 99% done. Zero mile body and interior. PW,PL, tilt, PM, duel tanks, vent windows, fender flares. I also purchased a RHD 2014 50k miles truck for the drive train and wiring. I got some 2009 HZJ 79 axles to go with it. Both trucks were locked so it should not be too difficult. Drivetrain is 1GR backed by an H150.

    Intermittent Issues When Starting / Electrical Gremlin?

    By Stack Up

    2013 Land Cruiser w/ 150K miles. No modifications or changes in the last 2 years, but vehicle has dual battery set up, aux lights, winch, etc. Have a strange issue that started 2 months ago. Truck unlocks with key fob, get in, press brake, push the start button, everything lights up, A/C comes on, but the truck doesn't try to start, and then everything goes dead a second later like the battery has been disconnected. Wait a few minutes and the lights will come back on, stereo resets, A/C... Read more

    Selkirk Offroad in Sandpoint, Idaho

    By ozarkmud

    I've been thinking about outsourcing some of the work on my rigs, to take care of more complex jobs and free up some time. I'm definitely not the most trusting of all mechanics, though. Have any of you worked with Selkirk Offroad in Sandpoint? They used to be known as 'The Land Cruiser Shop'. Just hoping to hear opinions, and if there's any other good shops in the North Idaho area. Thank you!

    COS80's 1997 LX 450 Build Thread

    By COS80

    I thought I’d make a build thread to track my progress. I bought my LX 450 from a mud member last August. It had a few kinks to work out, but I absolutely love this thing! Since I bought it for off-roading, I intended to do a full Raptor line job, but when they backed it out of the delivery trailer, I realized I had a bit of a gem on my hands, and that plan went right out the window. I also intended to do a bigger lift and tires, but so far, it has proven to be more than adequate as it sits... Read more

    Best all-around diesel for fj60?

    By Southbound

    I'm sorry, I know there are a zillion threads on diesel conversions for fj60's but it's information overload. Can I please get some advice on what the best conversion would be for an '87 fj60 regardless of price? I know it's always a trade off between gas mileage, power, and noise, but I figure if I take price out of the equation for now I can start at the top and work my way down as reality dictates. What's the ultimate conversion? What are the relevant horsepower, mileage stats? Thanks!

    Where All My Gear Setter Uppers At?

    By vwhammer

    well decided to tackle this air locker and gear install myself because it just seemed like a thing I should know how to do at this point. Following the manual they have you pretty much do the entire set up to get the pinion depth set then you have to tear it all apart and put the crush sleeve and seal in place then do the set up again. This makes sense since there is a real good chance that you will need to tear it apart to add shims so why waist a crush sleeve and seal. Anyway there is... Read more

    Fuel pressure regulator weirdness

    By alia176

    Hiya fellas, I got a weird one here that I can use your help with. I hope I've laid out a nice case for y'all! Problem: my Torque app has been showing LTFT over 15% consistently for a while, and I've also been getting "fuel too lean" codes so I started to dig into this issue. With a turbo, running too lean puts us on edge. So, I installed a fuel pressure gauge on the inlet of the fuel pump. This eliminates a dirty fuel filter (which is less than two years old) impacting the gauge... Read more

    3fe Engine Maintenance

    By Phillip K

    Hey guys, I have a 1991 fj80 with the 3fe 250k miles. I am replacing the rear main seal gasket and valve cover gasket due to leaks. Rear main seal requires transmission to be dropped/pushed back. Is there anything I should do for preventative maintenance while I have that off/moved? Same for the valve cover gasket. Anything I could also clean, replace or do to keep engine running as long as possible? Thank you in advance!

    Front door differences - question

    By diesellibrarian

    Hi everyone. I’ve done a search and gathered some info, but would like some help/clarification. Hoping someone here knows the answers! My truck is a ‘77 (not sure about production month, will get that info if helpful). It came with a set of non-matching “rounded” window frame front doors, and a set of matching “square corner” front doors with the vent window. Based on my research, the FJ55 transitioned to the rounded door frame sometime during the 77 model year. The rounded doors don’t... Read more

    Thermostat Installation

    By AYM707

    I've got a Saudi FJ40. Moved to Canada a few years back and I finally decided to put the thermostat back in. Before this, I never had a problem with engine temperature. But generally dont drive it in the winter. Purchased the thermostat The on the left is rated for ~73C and I believe that is the original type. The one on the right is rated for 82C and has the jiggly valve so opted to install that one. Installed it in this orientation with the jiggly valve at 12 o'clock... Read more

    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
