    Bikersmurf’s 40

    By stevebradford

    @bikersmurf I was thinkIng about your 40 situation last night. i believe you have a 3.70 diff in the front and 4.10 in the rear? - Is the 4.10 too deep for the v8? Reason I ask is I was going to sell a 4.10 but haven’t heard back from the guy. 4.10 is usually more desirable allowing you to run larger tires. Also I’m sure you know but swapping the rear diff is a lot easier than the front. Im lazy with front ends. you say the knuckle needs to be repacked. I’m sure you are aware of... Read more

    2005 v8 Limited purchase advice

    By Mr. Green

    I live in the FJ40 forum mostly but am considering a 2005 4 runner with v8 223K on odo. Clean frame but cosmetically some large dents dings on outside. Aftermarket wheels. Hasn’t had timing belt done in a while according to service records, has had replacement exhaust manifolds done and engine compartment appears relatively clean from leaks. Sounds quiet, no rattles or weird things other than initial start the strong vacuum sound for about 20 seconds then when fan slows it goes away. Also... Read more

    Factory Subwoofer Info Guide

    By Murckman

    This topic doesn’t seem to have been covered much so I thought I would post some usable info on the factory subwoofer enclosure and subwoofer replacement. Before ordering an 8 inch subwoofer replacement for my 08 LC I searched long and hard for info on mounting depth of the factory enclosure along with info on speaker impedance. I didn’t have much luck finding info on the 200 Series but it had to be similar in respect to other Toyota’s with factory subwoofer enclosures. Based on the info... Read more

    Intro Thread (New Owner)

    By Nine9LC

    About 4 months ago, I purchased my first Land Cruiser - a 1999 in River Rock Green Mica (with the rear locker) with about 230k miles. I have since put about 8k miles on it, done quite a bit of maintenance items / projects (more than I expected), and some tasteful mods. I am loving it so far. I run it as my daily driver and camping setup (I built my own budget sleeping platform and storage system). This forum and community has been very helpful and I am hoping I can return the favor to...

    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

    AK HJ-75

    By coldtaco

    Thought is was time to start a thread on my HJ-75. Bought it from a member on here in South Georgia. Drove it home, about 4200mi. This was towards the end of March. It took 9 days of driving, 11 days total. Spent two nights in Dalton, Georgia visiting old friends, and two nights in Calgary, Alberta, had the truck in a shop there to install a radiator plug in heater and check the electrical system. I think 3 times I encountered wet snow, otherwise mostly dry the whole way... Read more

    300 Series Wheel and Tire Fitment Database

    By Oakleyguy

    Since the forum is continuing to grow, I figure it's time to setup a central thread specific to tire and wheel fitment. This post will develop over time. I used @sonk76 's original spreadsheet for inspiration. Here's a link to the spreadsheet in case the file doesn't embed correctly below: LINK TO SPREADSHEET Share your findings, but make sure to share as much detail as possible!

    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

    Project Old Gregg

    By GordieGiroux

    First and last build I ever did I did not document very well at all. It was my beloved '99 Isuzu VehiCross that eventually sat on 35" double (triple as LC land likes to call them) locked, 5 spd manual with H3 Trans and T-case 4:1, and powered by a non VVTI n/a 1UZ. That rig found it's way to Powers 4x4 in Des Moines, Ohio via BAT. Bad knee forced me to sell and switch to an automatic. Yea getting old! This build will likely be my last but you never know. For these reasons and also so I can... Read more

    You boys give me some serious shop envy with all these amazing shop builds.

Well I got both and stayed in budget! i have laid on gravel driveways or worked out in the cold for too long and didn't plan to do it any longer The house... Read more

    1973 Mercedes R107 build

    By Gumby

    Imma pull this build thread out of my 66 Suicide Slab thread since I'm gonna start ramping it up now that the weather is warm. If the engine turns out to be no gouda, or something else is going to take more than a couple of weeks to get running, I might switch back to the stinkin lincoln so as not to get too distracted. But, if I can get the R107 driving without too much trouble, it's gonna be me and Lorenzo rollin in the Benzo. First few posts are from the Lincoln thread.

    Does it look like my sunroof is fully closed?

    By fishingoregon

    I just picked this 2000 LC100 up and with the new Oregon rain it's absolutely soaking the the inside through the sunroof. I already removed the glass and the drains are completely cleaned and clear. The sunroof obviously is stuck but I'm wondering if it's not fully up and seated allowing way too much water inside. Thanks sorry I know the sunroof subject has been beat to death but I don't know what a properly closed sunroof looks like.

    Rear hatch / pig blasphemy

    By DanTCook

    Greetings all, Just wanted to share a little sumptin I commissioned for the Sand Pig. I know.....it's blasphemous to eliminate the rear window. But to each his own! And.....I spent plenty of time replacing gears of various origin. I even spliced in waterproof connectors to hasten the gear replacement process. Anyway, the 2nd photo is the inside of the aluminum panel (more molle!). We used an Embassy hinge from Go Fast Campers, some Southco latches and a couple of inexpensive gas... Read more

    FJ60 transfer case not staying in 4wd

    By AndrewRK

    Background: I rebuilt my fj60's transfercase a while back with I want to say a cool cruisers rebuild kit. I purchased a new fork from specter. I need some help getting the transfercase to stay in 4wd. I can shift into 4 hi and 4 lo, but the moment any load gets placed on the front wheels the transfercase slips out of gear and the truck gets stuck in 2wd. Has anyone dealt with this issue before? I once read that the linkage could maybe be adjusted... I'd appreciate any guidance or pointing... Read more

    On the road brake advice and did I misunderstand the assignment.

    By Artie

    2021 50k miles. We’re on the road and I’ve started to experience brake fade. We just arrived to camp and it’s kinda far so I apologize for the flashlight kit pics of these rotors but this is heat glazed rotors, correct? Before we left I rotated tires and these looked like normal rotors with about 35-40% pad left. I’m somewhat kicking myself because I just replaced the rears before we left, it was definitely time. I’m wondering if I didn’t do... Read more
