    Front coil spacer before and after

    By earlman3

    Installed the Toyota OEM front strut spacer to try to level things out. Happy with the results. Here’s a before and after. Also changed tire size from 285 60 18 to 275 70 18 and upgraded wheels to heritage edition and removed the side steps. Just wanted to add another before after after for those considering this modification. $75 per side - part below Toyota Front Spring Spacer #43136-60020 | Autoparts.toyota.com Genuine Toyota Front Spring Spacer ensures proper spring spacing, smooth shock movement, and stable front suspension performance. autoparts.toyota.com ...

    HJ60 Snow white

    By Samppahj

    Hello and greetings from Finnland. I took the courage to put up my project now. I got a bit more hopefull on that it will some day be ready because I got one big thing done. Later you will find out what that thing was. And the story of my Toyota. I found a cassette deck once from a old cowhed. I collect old car radios so I got excited about it. I got it free to my collection. I said that it would be nice to have cable harness for that radio so I could test it. I was told that the car... Read more

    The Monkey is Back

    By Chamba

    For those of you who have been on Mud a while, you may know me. But for those who've joined in the last 6 or 7 years, I'm really no one. I've been a Cruiser guy since I was nearly 3 when my folks bought a brand new '72 FJ40 at Lyons Toyota in Boulder. My cousin still has that 40 in the family. I've had numerous Cruisers all my driving life: a '76 FJ40, an '83 'FJ40 with factory power steering and air, an '84 HJ47 troopy and an '84 FJ40 LX being the main characters with numerous others...

    Looking at a 1993 Toyota Land Cruiser FZJ75 Troopy 5-Speed

    By Spike Strip

    Looking at this truck, but I really know nothing about these 70-series and how they get imported. I'm in CA and certainly Calif reg would be an issue. Currently registered in Oregon but living close to me. Is this someone's truck here ? I asked the seller's proxy about the VIN plate and they said it was imported that way. Why would the VIN have been etched out? (bottom is Google translate). The Frame number does match the vehicle specs of a General market 1993 ... ... Read more

    Love all over again…

    By umpqua

    Retrieved the 1980 Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser from my mechanics garage yesterday evening. It’s been in storage for ~4 years. I limped it to a gas station, put in fresh gas and it woke up ready for adventure. I took it to a welder that I’ve met who is a “car guy” and he will weld in patch panels where the previous owner had put in fender flares. This will return it to its original form. This Land Cruiser was purchased from my friend Chuck Girard in Arkansas. I know I’ve had it well over 30... Read more

    Ultimate OEM 4X SERIES PARTS IN STOCK

    I did this in the 55 section and it has done really well. https://forum.ih8mud.com/fj55-iron-pig-preservation-society/246266-oem-fj55-parts-stock.html If you have a part# you know is still available through Toyota for a 40 and you know the price and year it came from post it up. I cannot tell you how many times I've paid more for a used part that I thought was discontinued only to find out it was new and cheaper than the used part I bought. If you have a picture of said part... Read more

    FJ40 12HT Swap & 60 Series Axles

    By KeepCruzin

    Hi everyone. I've finally gotten around to posting up a thread on my FJ40 build. Some background: I bought the 40 back in 2018 for $4,000. Originally I planned to put in a 12HT, but I couldn't find one. I went so far as to get a 6.3L LM7 V8 and all the adapter parts to put it in. In the end, I just couldn't bring myself to own a landcruiser that didnt have a Toyota engine. So I hunted for a 12HT for over a year and a half. Finally, I found a good one. This will be my fourth 12HT swap... Read more

    What have you been doing with your Toyota?

    By JohnnyOshow22

    In the 80 Tech Forum there is a "What did you do with your 80 this weekend" thread. In that thread 80 owners post what they've been doing with their rigs. This include mods, engine swaps, wheeling trips, just posting a photo of it in the driveway and saying, "I looked at it" or "did an oil change" and things related to anything 80 series. I think it would be cool to see what local club members are currently doing with their rigs/adventures/toyota related things and thats why I'm starting... Read more

    200/570 - Unobtanium Parts (Discontinued Stuff)

    By cruiseroutfit

    These types of threads exist at great length in many of the other series forums, kinda odd to start thinking about URJ200 and LX570 parts that are already getting discontinued. Most of the parts I've seen thus far have been color specific trim items and there are often workarounds with later model parts. A word of warning for threads like this: unless you **speak** with a Toyota parts professional that has access to the Toyota Parts Master database, and they then confirm the part is... Read more

    Anyone in ABQ have Techstream for Toyota or Lexus ecu communication?

    By alia176

    A friend of mine has a GX460 and the rear air bags have deflated. The suspension ECU is now experiencing a "low voltage lockout" due to the battery going flat. All she needs is a techstream or any other OBD bi-directional scan tool to talk to her BECM then tell it to reset that fault code. None of the three Indy shops I called have this ability (including Toyomasters) but if you have a pirated techstream that's a fairly recent version, lmk. My techstream is on Win XP and I was able to... Read more

    2011 Sequoia Overland Build

    By TREEHAUS

    Hey Mud – I have been meaning to get on here and get some documentation on how my Sequoia build is going but ya’ll know how life goes. Hoping this thread can be inspirational to folks who are looking to push their big bodied rigs a little further than soccer practice and the mall. Background: I came up from Toyota Pickups and 2g 4runners into the full-size segment a few years ago. Cut my teeth on torsion sprung IFS stuff and kinda just evolved into more updated rigs and...

    Later chrome rear bumper on a 1989 BJ73 — has anyone fitted one?

    By gerasg

    Hi everyone, I have a European-market BJ73 (VM), first registered in November 1989. It has the early-style asymmetric rear bumper arrangement: a shorter left section and a longer right section. I would like to fit the later, more balanced-looking chrome rear bumper with a central step and no lights in the bumper . I’m happy to adapt brackets, but would like to understand what is involved before buying parts. I’m considering two options: 1. New genuine Toyota parts... Read more

    Hey Everyone, I am super excited to share this! Earlier this month we met with Drummond Island Resort and came to an agreement to host a weekend long event on Drummond Island. This will be a lot of offroading, were planning to cover nearly every major trail on the island, as well as have access to the ridge offroad park.

    Project Beach Cruiser | The 1971 FJ40 Patina RestoMod

    By GRM

    Project Beach Cruiser | The 1971 FJ40 Patina RestoMod I have always enjoyed driving from my house in Irvine down to Newport Beach for Saturday morning coffee. I usually drive my old '86 Toyota , but it doesn't seem to fit. I want a convertible classic. Since I'm a huge Toyota guy, the only logical choice was a Land Cruiser. I had to look at a few to find the right one. Lucky, this one found me. One Saturday morning my friend and I were mountain biking in the Laguna Hills. On a... Read more

    A Brazilian tries to build an 80!

    By 250below10

    Alright, I think it is time to start a build thread! I'm a noob and did not grow up working on cars. Everything I learned was either here on Mud or back in Tacomaworld, with some Youtube University in between. I first got into Toyotas 4x4 seeing some modded Hilux driving around town where I grew up and thought it would be cool to own one eventually. In 2015 I got my first job in the US and almost immediately my '01 Escape blew a HG, I thought it would be a good time to go find that Toyota... Read more

    2008 LC Headlight Replacement Question

    By tominboise

    I have a 2008 with 145k miles. The headlight assemblies are pretty ratty by now. I am contemplating ordering two new assemblies from Toyota. My question - will the new headlights be quite a bit brighter then the cloudy assemblies? Are they relatively easy to replace on the vehicle? I plan on keeping this for a few more years ( bought in it 2017 with 65k miles on it). It seems like a worthwhile "upgrade".
