    New guy from Florida. Here’s my 2003 LX. She’s a bit of a creampuff.

    By tdanoots

    The original owner sold it to CarMax earlier this year with only 56k miles. The manager recognized it as a gem and personally bought it to resell (a nice perk for some CM employees!), and then I bought it as an anniversary gift for my wife. She’s always wanted a 100-series. So far I have replaced the old AHC accumulators which greatly smoothed out the ride, added weather tech mats, changed out the cabin filters, and had it ceramic coated. Next I want to address the old worn out Mark... Read more

    1979 - 81 Toyota Minitruck T-Shirt Graphic

    By Mike Shull

    Hi all. Those who know me may not know that I was into the minitruck scene for awhile. As I was thinking about what I wanted to draw next, I came across a really cool mini truck owned by Brian Gobin with Hillside 4x4. I don't know if he has a mud account. Brian is a great connection and he helped connect me with the 1-ton axles that are currently under my Cruiser. I should have this graphic finalized today and I am open to suggestions. I haven't had a minitruck in quite a few years so I... Read more

    Yeller Gold

    By Ol Yeller

    Life gets in the way, that happens on most things, getting my 1974 pig up to snuff for weekend duty has been no exception. When I was a little kid my parents had a 71 that mom daily drove, it wasn’t long before my dad and uncle pulled the six and dropped in a 327, when that got tired dad put a Sears crate 350 in it. Other upgrades were 4 Mazda 808 bucket seats, power steering, shackle lift and pipe bumpers. By about 1983 it was done, I recall watching the road go by with the back doors... Read more

    Installed Dobinson's 1.75 Inch Variable Rate Suspension Kit: C59 - 222V, C59 223V

    By culturedredneck

    While doing research for my suspension upgrade recently I couldn't find any reviews or photos of this particular set up, so I wanted to post in case someone else is looking. It's no 4 inch lift with miles of travel, but some of us like our cruisers on the refined side. I've only had it on 3 days so far, but the difference is incredible. I can't believe I waited this long to upgrade the suspension. It drives better than it ever has since I owned it, and maybe better than from the factory... Read more

    Telescoping Wheel Fix - Success

    By Jasoncp4

    After about 5 years since I bought my 2003 LX470, decided to finally fix the telescoping wheel that wasn't telescoping. Found a used motor on eBay for $100. The part arrived and removed the trim around the wheel and the plastic and metal panel under the wheel to make accessing it easier. After removing the bushing at the end of the threaded shaft I discovered that the wheel wouldn't move at all, totally stuck. I took some force to finally push it in and out. Using PB Blaster and a tool used... Read more

    1975 FJ40 with Motorcraft carburetor

    By Rick Carroll

    Hi guys, it runs pretty good but hesitates on acceleration. No vacuum leaks, compression is good, timing light is steady on the BB. The carb came on it when I bought it and had it professionally rebuilt but something is off. I've been playing with the linkage thinking it gets too much gas when the pedal is depressed but not much luck so far. Are these carbs common on FJ's? Would you guys suggest changing to a Webber or back to stock? Thanks

    100 Series Paint Job - Value Question

    By JohnGood

    So I just picked up a 100 Series for a reasonably good price. 200k on the odomiter, EVERERYTHING works. Mechanically pristine and very clean. Its a good one. $17k out the door. Ive put another couple $K in some maintinence to get it baselined. My original plan was to drive it for a few months to a year while my 80 series restoration gets wrapped up then flip out of it for at least what I have in it, possibly more ($25k) Unfortunately ive started to fall in love it. Its so simple. So easy... Read more

    Front Axle Rebuild (ugh)

    By Shep59

    I guess I need to rebuild my knuckles on my 9/74 Fj40. I remember grease on the shoes way back then. So, can anyone offer a reputable place to order a rebuild kit? there are so many vendors maybe you guys that have recently gone through this process can provide me with some much needed wisdom. I certainly don't look forward to it, but it is what it is...thanks!

    Stretched 1-Ton FJ40

    By Mike Shull

    This Land Cruiser has been in the family since 1978 and it has gone through multiple builds already. It currently sits on 35s, SOA, power steering, 383, SM 465, and a rear locker. The plan is to stretch it by 14”, replace the engine with a 6.2L LS, then install an NV 4500, Atlas 4, and 1 tons with ARB’s, 5:13 gears, sitting on 40s. Update on 10/2025: Here is a clip of the build from 2021 - 2025. There is still more to do though it is nice to be able to take my time and drive... Read more

    noob status oil light and brake light questions

    By landcruiser3DP

    open to suggestions particularly on the brake light issue as it looks like i need to get after it but i had a couple questions. is there mechanical or other reason (aside from low oil level of course) why the oil light goes on and off with low oil level? i need to fill it but im just curious if there are reasons why it seems to consistently go off? or if it can't be relied up to light up i suppose. second question is about this brake light. i'm going to check brake fluid level but i am...

    The ABCs of AHC - How to Measure, Flush, and Adjust all in one place

    By LndXrsr

    I initially put this in the Definitive list of AHC maintenance items thread, but at almost 800 posts long and growing, it's going to get buried and the thread itself is very unwieldy. In an attempt to make as focused a summary as possible, I present "The ABCs of AHC." It's intended as a comprehensive, linear checklist for anyone who needs to get their AHC back into factory tune. Information gathered from as many sources as I could find on this forum; I take no credit for... Read more

    My 40 Build... 20 years and Counting... Purists beware, this may hurt... :D

    By bikersmurf

    My 40 Build... 20 years and Counting... Purists beware, this may hurt Time to document a few of the things I've done all in one place. I'll start with some pictures and add more as I've got time. I purchased it towards the end of 1991. Before driving it the brakes were all done. I’d a thorough inspection as a bare minimum... in my case everything was replaced or rebuilt to ensure it was at 100%.
