    "Rednexus" - 2007 GX470 Build and Fabrication Thread

    By Rednexus

    I've been posting on here for a few months now, and decided to start a build thread. Some of these will be re-posts, others will be new material. We've been a Subaru family for a long time now, which was fine when we had one kid. Once we had a second kid, and he got big enough that we could go on family camping and other outdoor trips, my wife's Outback just got too small. Last August we could barely fit everything in the Outback for a weekend of camping, even with a car top carrier. I also... Read more

    Are you my cruiser-head neighbor?

    By CakeMountain

    There's a cruiser-head in my area (Hanover, MD) that I drive by quite often. I see a 200 series, 80 series, and it looks like 3 40's under tarps. If this is you, give me a shout out. Would be glad to know who is in my neighborhood. If this super-cool individual isn't on Mud, but you know who they are, feel free to chime in. Thanks!

    Intake Manifold / Exhaust Header Questions

    By crazzmc

    I got my intake manifold off today and it’s got a casting 17111-61010 and it’s also got this JB weld looking goop inside of it. Worth just grabbing an oem restored one instead or just cleaning this up, flattening and putting back on? Im installing a Sniper EFI as well. I’m in CT if anyone has one locally. Also exhaust headers recommendations. I really want the TriMekis but everything is so expensive

    Armada test drive

    By misc00

    Honestly, the new Nissan Patrol Y63 / Armada is one of the biggest sleepers on the market right now. This isn’t just a redesign — it’s a complete step up. The interior alone is miles ahead of the LC300. Proper premium feel, tight build quality, solid materials, and most importantly: real buttons where it matters. Climate, drive modes, 4WD — all physical, easy to use, no touchscreen nonsense when you’re off-road. The screens are used properly for cameras and visibility, not replacing basic... Read more

    Ride Suggestion / Tour Guide Thread

    By jlm43

    Between Land Cruisers and bicycles, I'm sure most of us here would enjoy a post ride adult beverage with one another. I'll go first. I mostly ride in the central Maine area. Bangor / Old Town / Orono area to be more precise. Sugarloaf / Carrabassett Valley and Acadia NP are also on my list of frequent riding locations. If anyone is ever in one of those areas, please reach out. I'd be more than happy to play tour guide for a day. Also, I'll be driving north on the Blue Ridge Parkway with... Read more

    Hello, Very new to 100 series. Would like to purchase a drawer and folding bed system.

    LC - Is anyone running LED bulbs in stock headlight housing and not been flashed?

    By usinglinux

    Yes, I know. LEDs are not compatible with halogen housings. Yes, this is illegal. But man, at a certain point I just need to be able to see at night. Is anyone running LED headlights in their LAND CRUISER halogen stock housings and not been flashed? If so, please share the specific brand/model you are running. Don't mention TEQ Customs or Lightwerks. Don't mention anything for an LX. Plenty of threads on that already. Delinquents and criminals only in this thread.

    Started with the rebuild of my FJ40 Stripping it down to bare metal and doing a full frame off restauration Rebuilding the parts i can and looking for OEM parts if not fixable. Not trying to educate anybody, rather came here in case other people ran into same challenges as I do Took apart the whole body already, pulled out the wiring harness and currently rebuilding that back to original, since the previous owner rerouted some parts and added a air-pressure brake system to it.

    Gull-wing aka lift-up side cargo window replacements

    By sunrk

    Here in Oz a few places seem to make gull-wing lift-up replacement opening panels to fit in place of the fixed or sliding side cargo windows - Emu Wing, Cruiser Company, and perhaps one other I can't remember. Emu Wing is available in both metal and glass versions. They are about A$1500 for a pair of metal ones, and about A$1900 for a pair of glass ones.

    LX470 Buying Guide and Recos

    By sc470

    Hi guys. Lately I've been thinking of possibly getting an LX470 as a daily that I would use for the next ten years. I would not be looking at modifying it for offroading because I already have a GX470 for that. I would like to know what the best manufacture years are and how the trims differ, like what was missing and what was later added. I would ideally prefer the pre-VVTI motor, but I can deal with the secondary air injection and all that jazz on the later years if need be. What are the... Read more

    Place to ship trucks for Rubicon trip?

    By EricT4R

    Several buddies and I are planning a Rubicon trip in August 2027. We are all on the east side of the USA from Ohio to Miami, FL. Rather than spending 8 days of rushed out and back on the interstate I'd rather fly out and spend more time exploring area trails. Does anyone know of a safe yard nearby Rubicon where we could ship trucks to & from? One of us could fly out early / late to take delivery and reload the trucks, really just need safe storage area for a day or two before and after the... Read more

    The Divide 1988 XtraCab Rehab

    By cbmontgo

    I was perusing the local Rising Sun forum and saw a post about an '88 Toyota plow truck for sale right down the road from me in Divide, Colorado. I'm mostly a Land Cruiser guy, but always liked these trucks and knew I'd buy one if I found a decent one. So I get in touch with the owners and run down the road to take a look. Original owners, 141,000 miles with the 5-speed and the 22RE. We agreed on a number and I nervously drove it home. It hadn't run in over two years, but fired up and... Read more

    Blower assembly restoration

    By H2o

    I was wondering how you might clean the plastic from the blower assembly that sits in engine bay. I have seen people paint it, but i was wondering if anyone has success using a chemical or anything else? I started the process of restoring mine with the intent of lubricating the motor. The bearing felts were very dry and have started to wear the bearings.

    Heritage lower grille sub assembly

    By earlman3

    I am looking for a part number for my 200 LC. It is the top left chrome piece where my finger is. I am looking for the darker chrome heritage edition piece. I already ordered the lower dark chrome piece Driver side: PZ327-60126 And Passenger side: PZ327-60124. But that is only the lower portion. Does anyone know the part number for the upper portion around the fog light. I found 53103-60010 and 53104-60010 but those seem to be the regular edition chrome. Thank you

    1993 80, BUILD, another "it has begun" for fjbj40!

    By fjbj40

    Finally started the baseline process. Winter is here and all the ice and salt requires she not go outside! She has 285,000 miles on her and I bought her last March in Stockton Cali. Yesterday I stripped down the front axle. I have the knuckle kit but it turns out both birds require replacement. The passenger side splines for the drive plate are pretty much toast, I am sure it would fail if I asked for hard action. The drivers side has quite a bit of wear where the balls ride so I might as... Read more

    Clunk and Power issues - 1998 Amazon VX

    By Freddy1998LC100

    Hello! I have just inherited my Dad's 1998, 100 series, 4.2L Diesel VX Amazon and I love it! It has been in the family since 2004. It is in great condition and has been really looked after. However, I have a couple of issues that I need some help with: 1) Clunk Noise/feel - when idyling the throttle and/or re-engagaing the throttle - noticeable Clunk when it re-engages. I suspect Prop-shaft U-Joints - either need replacing or re-greasing. Any advice? Is it best to just swap out the whole... Read more

    Scale RC/ RC crawlers

    By lt1fire

    This seems to be getting more and more popular with our club so post up yours or any you've seen that are cool. I'm (very slowly) accumulating the parts to duplicate this but make it look like my rig. I have a few of the Losi parts as well as the tamiya model this is based off off.
