    My First 40

    By My77FJ

    Hey everyone! I wanted to share some pictures of my new project, a 1977 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 with 68,000 miles on the odometer. I’m located in Montana and recently picked this one up in California. From what I can tell, it has minimal rust for its age and appears to be a pretty complete, mostly original truck with OEM parts and no aftermarket modifications that I’ve noticed. I’m new to restoring these, so I’m learning as I go. One thing I’m currently dealing with is a mouse infestation... Read more

    "Forsaken 40" ~ 1st & Last Frame-off Build

    By Drake2

    Well the time has come to start the build thread that I have been prepping for over 3 years now. After years of reading, researching, and tons of questions, I was able to lay the plan out. This provided me with a good idea of what parts I would need, and after buying up most of the parts I could lay my hands on in the 3 surrounding states, I have acquired the majority of what I will need thus far. I have had plenty of 40's over the last 20+ years but they have always been minimal builds... Read more

    1998 JDM Land Cruiser Build

    By Sean81

    I've had my RHD 100 in the US for almost a year now and I thought I'd share some of my experiences: Having a right hand drive isn't bad, but I wouldn't really recommend it unless you get something "worth it", like something clean and low mileage or a diesel. I installed a GPS speedo as I don't like doing math while I drive. Drive-thrus aren't a big deal, I just lean over. Almost all the mechanical parts are interchangeable on my 2UZ-FE cruiser, so that is nice. I get most of my parts from... Read more

    My #4 crossmember has cancer

    By BonS

    I saw what "appeared" to be "some" rust on my rear crossmember today. I began digging into the rust to see the extent and it isn't pretty. The passenger side of the crossmember looks great, actually. The driver's side not so much. The picture shows what I can see from the outside after I picked away everything that I could. I'm thinking that I have two or more remedies. I can seek a frame shop and have them cut away everything that's too badly rusted and then weld on new hot rolled steel as... Read more

    Vibration when turning right + gas pedal ... thoughts.

    By blackohio

    So I get a vibration which feels like a binding outer CV, except I have replaced both CV's with moderate angle CVJ axles. (oem toyota CV's) noise is present before and after. Now, it doesnt do it when turning left either coasting or giving it gas, and it seemingly only does it when turning rights and giving it gas. Turning right and coasting yields no real evident issue. I've looked over anything I can think of and now im wondering one of two things. Steering shaft yoke or front... Read more

    FJZ80 – Rear Window Side Louvers/Vents Replacment Question

    By mrq

    Hello! So both of the side louvers/vents on my '94 LC are warped/broken. I just ordered some new (well, used) ones from Cruiserparts. My question is: Do these louvers just pop right off? I know they have clips that hold them into place. (Those are what's broken) If they just pop right off, I'll go ahead and replace them myself. But if they're more complicated than that, I think I'll have my Land Cruiser guy replace them. I've attached some pictures of mine below. Thanks! ... Read more

    Exhaust Manifold Advice

    By crutch

    I pulled the manifold to address an exhaust leak and the exhaust manifold flange is in rough shape. I took it to a local machine shop and he didn't have any experience with these and was concerned about how much material he would have to take and wanted to do them in separate parts. The horn ends was another issue of not knowing how to handle. His recommendation was to source a replacement. I'm going to talk to another machine shop but I'm in a smaller town and not sure I'm going to find... Read more

    How-To: TechStream In 5 Minutes

    By getco

    Getting Techstream up and running can be a bit of a pain. Hopefully this helps someone get started quickly. Step 1: Purchase an OBD-II / Mini-VCI interface. - I have sold out of my cables and supply chains are back in order, so no reason to purchase more. Anything like this will work: Mini-VCI cable on eBay Step 2: Download Hypervisor Windows / Intel Mac [Download Virtualbox] Windows... Read more

    Harrop E-Locker using OEM Switch and Dash Lights in a HDJ81 / FJ80

    By Malahki

    I decided to put this thread together for anybody wanting to wire Harrop E-Lockers into an HDJ81 or FJ80 using the OEM locker switch and locker dash lights. I found most of the info spread out over a couple of other 'Harrop" threads and wanted to put it all together in one place and add some pictures and diagrams. I will not be focusing on the actual locker install or setting up of gears. For that I simply removed my 3rd and shipped it to Ken (AKA Zuk) at Toyota Gear Install Harrop ... Read more

    Suggestions for where to (gulp) sell an '84 Pickup

    By Manhattan

    No - I'm not 100% certain I want to sell Patty. Yes - I'm 100% certain I'll have some remorse even if I become 100% certain I should sell Patty. It's coming down to a space issue, or a lack of space to be specific. Also, I'm not driving the truck as much as I thought/hoped I would. In 7 (!) years, I've driven the truck 4,000 miles. She's left Atlanta ONE time in that period. IF (if) you were selling a low-mile, nicely resurrected '84 Xtra Cab, which of the platforms/marketplaces would you... Read more

    Tool loaner thread… not for mooches.

    By REZARF

    Chris @CCRider came by today and grabbed my engine hoist for a project he’s working on and we got to thinking, what if we had a thread for things that locals need to get through a project? Sometimes it’s a hub socket, sometimes it’s an engine hoist, sometimes it’s a timing light… this thread will be for those who desire to share some of the specialty tools people need/have and don’t mind passing around a bit. Maybe a few ground rules: Treat all tools like they ARE someone... Read more

    Finding the power wires for the radio on a 1974

    By H2o

    I have been trying to locate the power wires for the radio on a 1974 FJ40. I found a bunch of mysterious wires from the OEM wiring harness. The ones directly behind the radio are red solid/black stripe with a female bullet connector, and the adjacent wire is white solid/black stripe with a male bullet connector. But when I traced this back to the fuse block, it did not go to the radio. The hot positive wire goes to fuse 6 turn signal and 7 ignition coil. I see are not the radio connectors... Read more

    Lx470 instrument cluster Tanin repair

    By shassibi

    I’m just posting this in case it helps somebody else. About six months ago I had my speedometer followed by my temperature gauge go out in my 2005 LX 470. After lots of troubleshooting, my excellent mechanic determined that it was the instrument cluster. We could not find a reliable used one nor did they make replacement parts for these. In the end we ended up spending the money and shipping it off to Tanin electronix and having the whole thing rebuilt. Now three or four months later... Read more

    Almost quitting

    By LivLandCruizer

    Hi all I had to post something because I’m pretty dejected. I just paid $2000 to have a new ECU put into my KAJ 78. I’ve only had it back for a few weeks after being off the road for months yesterday driving home the temperature gauge was almost in the red so I pull over. I was close to home so I let it cool down and made it to home to find out there was no coolant hardly in the system. I filled it up and it seemed to be running OK but I think it’s still losing coolant. I did some research... Read more

    2010 LX570: new DENSO A/C compressor, ice cold but airflow fades after a few minutes

    By andyroyale

    2010 LX570, about 225k miles. Looking for input from anyone who's chased this. Background: Condenser fan went intermittent, then dead. While troubleshooting I found the fan running with the relay and fuse pulled, so there's a wiring short I haven't fully run down yet. Then A/C went hot. Scan showed B1422 (Compressor Lock), plus B1421/B1424 (solar sensors, which I'm ignoring). Fuses and MG CLT relay all tested good. Old compressor ended up seizing, smoked, and burned the belt...

    Klip's FJ62 revival

    By klip

    What is up fellow cruiser heads. First of all thanks for all the great information on this forum, it has really helped out and givin me a lot of great ideas. Well 5 years ago I sold my 1984 Toyota pick up and bought a 1989 FJ62 with 270,000 miles on it. I have pretty much been using it as a daily driver and now it has 313,000 miles, and then, it died. Up until it died it has been extremely reliable, gutless and gas guzzlin, but reliable. I have slowly been troubleshooting the not start... Read more

    Made my own door cards and Speaker upgrades

    By cprx7

    Hello, new here. I just got a '94 Land Cruiser with 150K Miles in very good shape other than the previous owner mauled the door cards to put in some crappy paper 6.5" speakers. Anyway, I redid the door cards using 1/8" ABS plastic with some 1/8" foam and vinyl. I think they came out good. I got some speaker pods on eBay and painted them to match. What you guys think? I am running full active 3 way in the front. I will get better pictures. I am also going to turbocharge the engine soon. I'll... Read more
