    FN Wheels Rock Warrior

    By n0rth

    I'm a huge fan of the Toyota Rock Warrior wheel, however we all know Toyota no longer makes them. Dustin at FN wheels has reproduced the RW wheel so I had to get a set. I went with FN RW’s Bronze 17x8.0” +45 wrapped with Toyo RT Pros in a 38x11.50R17, they also produce the wheel in a 17x8.5" +35mm and 3 different finishes. These are fully forged and beefy to say the least, heavier bead lips and oversized rock ring bolts that are easily sourced. I'm running these on a Tundra but think they... Read more

    My "ran when parked" Land Cruiser from Craigslist

    By elizle

    This is my 1992 Land Cruiser that I bought in October. It is currently white, but the paint code is two-tone silver and red. It has a rebuilt title, and I believe it was repainted after a front-end collision. The frame and body are in great shape for a 1992, minimal surface rust. It still has the badge from "Tuscaloosa Toyota" on the back, and I found a license plate sticker from Tennessee, so it was in the south before making its way to Indiana. I'm sure this helped keep it away from road... 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

    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.

    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

    Battery…..

    By sfo1

    I had an interstate battery in my 08 and it lasted two years and I returned it for warranty. They replaced it with the same thing and it lasted a whopping two years again. I live in a mild climate too. what are the preferred battery brands? Also, looking to see what manufacturer makes the OEM Toyota battery and I read its Panasonic? Can anyone confirm?

    Refinished 2016+ fading front Toyota logo.

    By pdosescu

    My 2016 with 136k had a pretty faded front Toyota emblem. With this having the integrated radar, I didnt find a cost effective replacement so I refinished it with the Sylvania headlight restoration kit. I followed the process in the instructions and I’m pleased with the results. Took about 30 minutes and 1 Modelo. Cost was $20. This product seems to have the longest lasting finish according to various YouTube reviewers. Worst case scenario, I have to redo it… Just sharing in case... Read more

    A/C Woes-it’s the little things

    By 2mbb

    So last year I converted my A/C from R12 to R134a refrigerant. I built new hoses and changed the drier, the expansion valve, the thermistor (still available from Toyota),etc. I did not replace the compressor or the condenser or the evaporator. I used the Toyota TSB to guide me. Another thing I needed was the adapters the convert the R12 fittings over to quick connect fittings used for R134a. Everything went OK and it did work when finished but I did struggle with getting the refrigerant... Read more

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    Dipstick Reading on 3UR-FE...overfilled?

    By george bluth

    I've used the search function (perhaps poorly) to find on answer on this subject, and I've not been able to find an answer. That said: I just had the oil changed at my local Toyota/Lexus indy on my new-to-me late model 200, after which I checked the oil level under various conditions (engine warm, engine cold, letting the oil settle in the dipstick tube for 5 minutes, everything suggested I could find on the internet for an accurate reading). And, I'm seeing each time the oil filled to this... Read more

    Another A750F issue

    By GCCFZJ

    Just purchased a 2004 GX470 228k miles, never test drove it cold. I drove from LA to Salt Lake City and always let it get to operating temperature. It drove flawless, and never missed a shift, flared, hunted or delayed in shifting. I stopped in Salt Lake City and let a Toyota dealer install two new OEM front axles; great price on parts and install. Told the service advisor I was pretty happy with the car, he responds with something about other than the transmission issues. Thinking he's... Read more
