    Grinding at low speed full steering input

    By Ignignot

    2008 GX470, no KDSS, recently refreshed factory suspension. When I am turning as tight as possible in a parking lot I get a grinding and hesitation out of the front end. Sounds and feels like its potentially the diff binding up. Happens when turning both left and right, starts at about 95% steering input. No problems whatsoever until I get close to full steering input. Any advice or things I should check are apprecaited. Diff fluid was changed last fall with Mobil 1 75-90 synthetic.

    Ice Cracking ATV Trail Proposal Adds 57 Miles of Legal Riding Through Two Minnesota State Forests

    By Blue Ribbon Coalition

    It isn't everyday that there are proposals to get more mileage opened up to the public for motorized use. Because we don't hear about it very often, it makes it all the more exciting when there are proposals to increase motorized access to public lands. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is taking public comments on a proposal from the Woods and Wheels ATV Club to enroll the Ice Cracking ATV Trail in the state’s OHV grant-in-aid (GIA) program. BRC supports the proposal... Read more

    Mechanic to replace rack bushings in DFW

    By mousecruizer

    Hey y'all, I've been trying to find a person who can replace just the steering rack bushings with poly ones in my 2000 lx470. I understand this is a procedure that can be done without removing the rack after reading some of the forums here. I've called up a few of the notable shops in DFW but they are charging nearly $1200 to replace these bushings, practically same amount as replacing the rack itself. I believe Toyota Technical is not taking on any new work right now so I'm not sure who I... Read more

    Bridger - the family 62 build

    By cliffrdavis

    I’ve been a long term user of MUD and love the forum. I’ve restored an fj40 and sold her a couple years ago. I purchased an Fj60 with v8 conversion and as soon as I took delivery my wife got ill so I sold it. Made some tough choices this year and quit my leadership position as a physician at a major university hospital and switched to 50% in January 2026 to support my wife and kids. I figured one of the best ways to fill my time and bring together family was to start a rebuild of an fj62... Read more

    68 FJ40 Gas tank to fuel line connector question

    By Trippster

    My 68 restoration came with a 283 conversion already installed. I put in a 350 with an EFI requiring a 3/8 fuel line. I’m in need of a fuel line connector with a 3/8 barb. CCOT sells the 1/4 barb and does not offer a 3/8. What size is the thread for the connector ??? 12mm 1.25 pitch?? CCOT says it’s 12mm but they don’t know the pitch. I found 12mm 1.25 on line but they don’t fit???? I’m at a loss Any help would be appreciated Thank you Ben

    Diagnosing Violent-Jerking Steering Issue (VGRS)

    By pili

    I will preface this by stating that this is not an issue of loose wheel bearings trigging ABS system to grab a tire. This one has @2001LC and I somewhat stumped. I've also gone through most of the VGRS related threads and found good info to inform investigation but no conclusion yet. Paul has had the truck for the day and we'd like pick the forum's brain to see if we're on the right track. 2003 LX - pretty heavy with lots of bits and bobs. Symptom: While... Read more

    Drifta Drawers-who has them and which configuration?

    By Workhorse

    I have a set of Drifta drawers for my 100 and wish I ordered a set for my 200 before reading that Drifta is not taking new orders. Luke of Drifta explains in detail why here: 4WD Drawer Systems - Drifta Camping & 4WD - https://www.drifta.com.au/4wd-drawers/ I know some others here have Drifta drawers in their 200. Post up what you have and what you like or dislike about them. I would love to hear more and see what configuration you chose. Post photos too!

    92 FJ80 V8 swap or not

    By RedGreen

    I've been on hiatus for quite a while after mistakenly selling my FJ40 way too early a couple decades ago, but I'm finally back after buying a rusty FJ80 that doesn't run or stop or anything else. It needs a lot of love, and parts. The dash says it's got only 121,000 miles on it but all the other parts scream that's a lie. The engine was taken apart at least 10 years ago and the head was disassembled and left outside, and it sat ever since. So, my primary goal is to get it running. Then I'll... Read more

    Seeping, Not Dripping?

    By AlanBobtm

    Please tell me what you think: I purchased a 2006 LX470 in January 2026. It had 258,300 miles on it and now, 9 months later, the odometer reads 261,100. This works out to about 3700 miles per year, but I am anticipating perhaps 5-6K per year for the next 20 years. (We kept our previous car for 24 years, so it's possible). All maintenance is up to date, timing belt/water pump done in 2025 at 245,400 miles. The selling dealer noted the following in their inspection: seepage from front and... Read more

    Pulsing/droning vibration at highway speeds

    By marcfj60

    Over that past couple months I've started to notice a strange pulsing vibration at highway speeds. I start to feel it at about 60 mph and up. It doesn't feel like a typical tire balance issue but maybe it's tire balance and worn out shock combining to give the strange behavior. It feels like it's in the chassis/driveline/frame, and not in the steering wheel because the steering wheel stays steady while the rest of the truck is vibrating. The general behavior is at a frequency of about... Read more

    600 Miles in a 58 year old Land Cruiser

    By wngrog

    Jumped in the Goat Friday and made a trip up to Hot Springs to visit a few folks that traveled into the event. I had a wheel to drop off and 4 to pick up so I decided to to make an adventure out of it. I’ve had this truck 9 years and a day trip or two around the state is all I’ve ever done in it. This thing cruises at 65 at 2300 rpm and sips gas (right) at 13 ish mpg. Road trips are for burgers. David’s Burgers are always great ... Read more

    FJ55 Header

    By Dudleyfj40

    Is anyone using a header that fits and misses the body mount on a Pig? PO made a goofy offset at the end of my 74 to miss the body mount. It works, but I see different styles of header out there for a 2F. The 79 2F came with the exhaust manifold and the splitter, but nothing after that.

    Front Driveline Problem - Anyone had this experience

    By Sandgroper74

    G'day, I'll try and give as much information as I can in the hope someone might have a suggestion we haven't thought of. Vehicle is a 1999 HZJ75 Troopy. It does have ARB airlockers front and rear. About 4 months ago I had my suspension replaced with Terrain Tamer parabolic leaf springs including new shocks and steering damper. At the same time they noticed a bit of notchiness in the left hand side front moving wheel back and forth generally associated with swivel hubs. I drove for the car... Read more

    How is everyone doing?

    By PabloCruise

    Obviously these are strange days. How is everyone doing? Is your life impacted by the COVID-19? Are your daily routines changing? Hopefully not, but have you lost someone? Is your business or workplace affected? Just checking in. Work is still going, but I am working from home. Just finished week 3, there are pluses and minuses I guess. Hope you all are well.

    LC250 & GX550 Tire Thread

    By Rigger

    This is a tire picture thread. Please post pics of your LC250 OR GX550 with aftermarket tires. Let us know the tire size and suspension mods, if any. My 2025 LC (LC trim) came w/ Michelin LTX Trails in the 265/70/18 size on 18x7.5 wheels w/ 60mm offset. I think the 1958's come with something different, maybe? PM me what you got and I will add it here. Anyone with a GX550, PM me what it came with and I will add it here.
