    The HJ61 24V Power Window Relay bypass , the way I did it.

    By aage

    I had my HJ61 painted and recieved it with a Longer then needed bolts inside the driver door. When I tried to open the window it got stuck on the long bolt and the relay box failed ( burnt over ). Its almost impossible to get this box ( even if I just today got one from a generous friend . ). I am not a electrician so dont ask me to complicated questions about electricity . This box is only there to control the Auto up and down of the driver window. Friend of mine who is electrician...

    Radiator Repair/Replacement?

    By EricG

    Hey Guys - it's always some damn thing, and today it's the radiator. Got a crack at least a few inches long in the top tank above the seam. It's a 3 row brass unit I swapped in a number of years ago. You guys ever get a radiator repaired locally? Seems like this might be the kind of failure that's amenable to repair. Or recommendations for replacement - brass, aluminum, specific vendors? Thanks

    Cordless winch for utility trailer?

    By 98 SNAKE EATER

    Looking to add a small portable winch to my utility trailers for hauling up quads and golf carts and whatnot. My 80 had front and rear winches, so I had no problems dragging anything up on the trailers But now that she's gone, I rely on the Sienna to haul all my crap I figure a small portable winch that I could move from trailer to trailer would be useful

    Afm temp sensors wire to PCB fix?

    By cliffrdavis

    So while completing all my recent engine maintenance, I noticed the screws to the AFM wiring input were loose. I tugged on it and soon after that, the Landcruiser was running, but then stalled. I did a diagnostic and got an error 24 on the check engine light consistent with intake air temp sensor (THA) failure. I opened the top carefully. The THA sensor wire connection to the circuit board looks like it’s torn off the PCB but I am having a tough time figuring out where is supposed to go and... Read more

    Complete Infotainment upgrade - 2005 LX 470

    By SeasportNZ

    Hi guys. I've spent the last couple of months upgrading the Infotainment system in my 2005 LX 470 (NZ RH drive model). I thought I'd start a new thread here, as I think this info will be useful to others planning to do the same thing. I'll post updates to this thread, as I get time, to go over various aspects of the install, and how I solved the various problems encountered. General Overview My LX is in excellent, if not exceptional, condition. It's done 170,000km (105,000) miles... Read more

    Intro - Lizzy

    By novacow

    Hi all, New to the group and want to intro Lizzy. She's a 1991 1HD-T, GXL, with 366k km on the clock. I'm new to the 80 crew (had a '16 Prado prior) and couldn't be happier. Find Lizzy far more exiting to drive with a lot of character, and finally confident if / when things go wrong, I'll be able to fix them. I've had her for 3 months and in that time done the big end works myself, reconditioned all window motors and regs, and now tacking audio. Stoked there's a strong community here, and... Read more

    LS Swap

    By 85fourunner

    Recently picked up a ‘72, thinking of doing an LS swap. I’d like to be able to cruise on the freeway but wondering how the original 3-speed will do with the factory axles and 33’s? I’d like to go with a 5-speed (NV4500, H55f, AX15) but not sure if the cost is worth it to get the overdrive. I know the NV4500 is also longer which makes for a short rear driveshaft (potential vibration), and both diffs being offset means either an Orion t-case or a split case behind the H55f. Is there a “best”... Read more

    New 97 LC Series 80 Owner saying Hello.

    By jalapeno

    Hello All. I purchased my Series 80 yesterday. I've had 4 Gen 1 Tundra Access Cabs and 2 Gen 1 Double Cabs. Ready to try something different. Looking forward to working on her. Over all The LC is in good shape for 250K with a lot of work done ~ 10 years ago. She seems like she has been neglected for the last 10 but I am going to fix that over the next year or two. Anyways looking forward to learning new stuff. Cheers.

    Fixed gear riders? Tech question…

    By CruiserTrash

    I have plenty of geared bikes, so I figured I should build a fixed gear. I’m slowly accumulating parts and recently I got a track cog and lock ring. I’m running into issues however. Maybe somebody can help. Mud people are usually pretty mechanically minded, and I’m not a member of any bike forums - so here I am. I’m using a 130mm Surly flip flop hub that I scored for cheap because the freewheel threads were trashed. I wasn’t planning on using them anyway. I bought a Miche English threaded... Read more

    Cruisers & Co + Wholesale Automatics + HGM A750F Transmission Swap

    By Cruisers and Co

    As early as 2006 people were asking for someone to develop a swap for the A750F transmission to replace the A442F and A343F that are in 08/92 – 01/98 FZJ80’s and LX450’s…. Well that day has come! Cruisers & Company has teamed up with Wholesale Automatic Transmissions (WAT) of Australia to bring the A750F dream to reality. As the North American distributor/development partner for WAT this was one of the things we asked them to help us bring to market when we became their partner. As WAT’s... Read more

    Radiator overflow tank full

    By Welsh Jeepster

    Hi all, Just noticed on my 1980 FJ40 that the radiator expansion / overflow tank is full. I’m not sure it’s due to overfilling because when I first purchased the vehicle approx 6 months ago, the levels looked good. Seems something is pushing coolant into the tank. Rad cap looks to be in good condition. Also noticing the engine struggling at higher revs and when going up a hill but I’ll drop that one on a separate post ( hoping it’s not connected) Engine starts and runs fine... Read more

    Figured it was time to give my '97 LX450 a build thread. I'm Aaron, based in Bozeman, Montana. The truck goes by TRPLOK, Triple Lock, or just the Lexus. It's a trail truck with leather seats, built around traction, gearing, protection, self-recovery and enough camp comfort to stay out for a while. The dash shows roughly 225,000 miles, though...

    Off to a Good Start. My '74 40 Series

    By TwelveGravity

    What a way to start the year. I picked this up Jan 1st. I bought this from the son of the original owner. 1974 with 11k on the odometer (500 miles on a rebuilt motor). Who knows how many times that rolled over since he said it was his mothers daily driver in the 70's. The PO was getting to the age that it was getting difficult to take the cover off and put it back on every time they'd want to drive it. Additionally, they drove it less the last few years after moving from the Sierras to... Read more

    1987 LJ70 frame swap + mods build thread

    By Gubbtratt1

    Three years ago I bought a land cruiser from a relative. It has last passed inspection 2014 and has been standing in a dirt floor barn since then (dirt floor barns will be a reoccuring thing in this thread). It's a completely stock LJ70 with split rims, 2L-T engine, five seats and a stock rear LSD. Well, not completely stock. Road salt has helped with a lot of weight reduction as well as straight piped exhaust, and some previous owner has done some very questionable rust... Read more
