    By DenverColoradoFJ60

    Just rebuilt my carb, installed it and somehow it runs! hah two questions for yall to complete this long journey: Can you adjust the idle mix screw with the air intake (just the top off) while its running ?

    Dobinsons MRR Shocks

    By balmo130

    Dobinsons MRR Shocks. Has anyone had these installed on their LC 200? I am starting my research, as I plan to buy a set toward the end of this year. I am looking to lift only 1.5 to 2 inches and am curious what height people went on the rear, as well as what coils they used. TIA

    Caution: Slee Brake Lines – Machining Issues, CYA Instructions, & Disappointing Support

    By Jwoodywild

    Hey everyone, I wanted to post a transparent account of my experience installing the Slee Stainless Steel Brake Line Kit (Part #STF1089) on my 2003 LX 470, as well as how Slee handled the situation when brought to their attention. I run Slee rock sliders on my truck and love them, but this experience with their brake kit and customer support was disappointing. During the install, my mechanic ran into severe binding on 4 out of the 6 lines (specifically the rear female connectors). The... Read more

    New to me FJ40, parking brake help

    By dxwilson

    Well, I finally bought an FJ40 after looking at them for 45+ years. I've been driving an 80 series for 20+ years, and this is a new game for me. It's a restomod done by the previous owner, and I'm going through finishing up lots of little bits to get is fully drivable. 1970, running gear is SBC 350, 700r4, and Orion transfer case. My goal is to get it ready for some Cal4wd events in the fall and winter. And I need a functioning parking brake for the safety inspections. I have the... Read more

    2017 LX 570 Front Facing Camera is Dark

    By zalc

    Just bought a (new to me) 2017 LX570 and couldn’t help but notice that the front facing camera on the screen seems to be very dark (see picture below). Is this the normal behavior of the system? It doesn’t seem to show on the top-down 360 view. Is there a way to adjust the camera settings to get a “normal” front view?

    Steering Wheel Upgrade 16+ LC

    By Zill

    I purchased a 2016 land cruiser which had some nicks on the steering wheel from the previous user. It wasn't the infamous peeling problem found on the 16-17 wheels, but it appears to be some nicks from a wedding ring on the left hand. I did wrap the original wheel with a loncky steering wheel wrap, but I was not a fan of how thick it made the wheel feel. Since the steering wheel is the one item you are constantly using while driving, I thought it was worth the $750 to purchase a new wheel... Read more

    Ground fault on 3F-E engine control circuit, blown EFI fuse

    By RedBean

    Hey everyone, Yesterday my engine (3F-E in a '91) shut off while cruising on the interstate (scary). Check engine light was off with ignition on, meaning to power to ECU. Found EFI fuse blown. Replaced fuse and engine started and idled fine, but then fuse blew when I depressed the accelerator. Looked around and couldn't see anything wrong with the engine harness, nothing obviously broken or melted. So I called a tow to figure it out back home . Followed EFI troubleshooting in FSM and...

    1KZ Glow plugs

    By OM617YOTA

    Alrighty, follow me on my glow plug journey. Toyota 19850-67030 - Obviously these are recommended, although expensive. Coming from 617s and $15 glow plugs, paying $70/ea had me going WTF. HKT PN, CP-22 - HKT is a Japanese brand, even OEM for some manufacturers. MUCH less expensive, so I tried them. Too good to be true, just had two fail weirdly after maybe a year, 2/4 had roughly double the ohms of new. First cold start of the day had a few misfires for a couple seconds. Not sure when the...

    Possible Transmission Issue

    By RadLife

    Just bought my 2001 LX470, 127k miles, over the weekend knowing it had a possible transmision issue. The low mileage makes me think it's not necessarily the transmission. Here's a description of my issue. When put into R or D, the engine will rev pretty high, and then with a slight delay it will move a little bit. I tried adding ATF, and then found it leaking from the the transfer case output shaft (I only know this because I text pics and a video to a knowledgeable friend). I found this... Read more

    Jump assist dual battery help!

    By Theboudinking

    So I am running the Slee Redarc DCDC charger system in my LC. I want to be able to connect my secondary battery to my starting battery for a "start" or "jump" assist function. I feel like the Redarc Smart start SBI 12v 200a (like what @ Eric Sarjeant did in his) is possibly to complicated for what I am trying to do. Maybe I am not seeing any other benefit that just using it other than for its "jump start" function with a switch inside the cab?!?! Or should I just run a Blue Sea Battery... Read more

    Divided Intake and Swirl Flap Installation on a 1HD-FT

    By VADUS

    A lot has been said and done regarding exhaust-side improvements for cylinder breathing in our remarkable four-valve engine. This naturally includes the twin-scroll manifold and turbocharger, which enhance wave dynamics in the divided manifold and protect the cylinders during the valve overlap phase, along with a separate exhaust path for the wastegate valves, significantly reducing backpressure behind the turbine wheel under high load. However, on the intake side, most research revolves... Read more

    Squeaky steering wheel wasn't clock spring

    By Atoyot1031

    The good news is that I've got a new (used) clock spring. The bad news is that I didn't need it. After my steering wheel has progressively gotten worse squeaking on left turns over the past few years, and I thought I had sprayed lube everywhere including taking apart the dash several times, I finally decided to replace the clock spring. I bought one off another mudder, and installed. Still squeaky. So, I stuck my head under the drivers footwell, with the vehicle idling so... Read more

    1940 Schwinn DX Klunker

    By GTV

    I've had this frame going on 10 years and yesterday I finally assembled it into a functional bike. I built it in a "traditional" klunker style with the exception of the wheels and tires. Instead of 26" Schwinn S2 wheels I'm using S4 wheels from a 50's Schwinn tandem that happen to be 650b/27.5". Front hub is from a '47 Schwinn tandem, Morrow coaster brake rear. 18x10 gearing turning a skip tooth 3/16" chain. Tires are 2.35 wide, chain stays were modified for tire clearance. Fork fits the...

    1978 FJ40 - Lovely “Linda”

    By nabbasi

    Hey folks, I’ve been around for the past year and a half or so after buying a 1967 FJ40 sight unseen and getting it roadworthy/ fun again. My first 4WD vehicle was a 100 series Land Cruiser I purchased in 2016, which subsequently became my daily driver. For older “project” or classic vehicles, I’ve got a 1968 Mustang and had a 1966 Chevy C10. Those have given/ gave me what I thought was a pretty well rounded knowledge with welding/ sheet metal, carburetors & rebuilds, brakes upgrades... Read more
