    Proper stowing of the house battery (lithium) for fridge, camping, accessories, etc but worried about heat...

    By lx4dp

    Gents, I’m designing a storage box, camp kitchen, and fridge setup for my LX570, and I’m trying to sort out a permanent power system. A lot of the all-in-one power stations I’m looking at—Anker, EcoFlow, BLUETTI, etc.—list charging and operating limits around 104°F. Storage limits aren’t always clear, but some are similarly restrictive. A parked vehicle can easily get to 120–125°F inside during summer, even with the battery out of direct sunlight. For those who leave these systems... Read more

    Removing steering rack

    By LC200qTr

    Before writing this post I have searched the internet for days and ih8mud site deeply for any technical reviews of how to remove the steering rack on 200 series with a 2uz v8 engine. I have seen some comments where people say that in the Toyota manual the first step is to remove the engine!!!! Linuxgod has gratefully supported me by sending me the link to the 40GB repair manual bit I tried more than once and it didn't work for me. I have spent the whole weekend and still no luck on getting... Read more

    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

    Babe the Blue Ox, a 75-series pickup build!

    By SNLC

    New build starting, the customer actually requested I do a build thread! It already has a 1HDT swapped in it, performed by the current owner. @joekatana imported it originally. It’s a 1991 Euro PZJ75, so it had a 1PZ and R151 originally, it is 24v, has elockers, now has a H55 & split case behind the 1HDT. After import it was engine swapped with a 1HZ which got pulled and swapped to the 1HDT. So it has had three engines but I would say this 1HDT is the last engine for it, at least... Read more

    Build: 75 Fj55 "Los Lobos"

    By joesfj40

    As we approach the half way point of 2022 I figured I would make an attempt at documenting things a little better and writing here on mud. Recently obtained this 1975 FJ55 locally here on the Central Coast of California. Previous owner stated it had sat for 6 years, however most recent Oregon registration tag was 2011 so who really knows... They moved down from PNW and brought this toy along with. You'll notice the dings and dents and added character to give it charm. Front passenger... Read more

    Resurrecting my 1967

    By CruisinMT

    Got my 67’ running again today. It’s been sitting about 8 years in my shed. Sucker fired right up. I decided to go with JT Outfitters full disc brake conversion instead of an axle swap and also an HEI distributor from there as well. I’m also looking a possible a new 1/2 tub or replacement rear floor and rear fenders. Any suggestions on which company is the best bang for the $$$? Here’s a vid of it running.

    What am I doing wrong- tailgate crack

    By The Proton

    After owning my 80 series for about 10 years it developed a crack in the upper tailgate. It looks like a fatigue crack. At the time I figured it was due to me standing on it to open the RTT. I ended up finding a used tailgate and replacing it. After the new one went on I also added a new rear bumper I could stand on, and stopped standing on the tailgate. A few years later the same crack appears…. I just replaced the tailgate again. I don’t want to buy a third one. Any ideas what could... 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...

    Cross country trip

    Just completed a 1400 mile drive. I was driving my motorhome pulling a trailer and my wife followed me in our '06 GX470. Average speed was 60mph and she averaged 22 mpg. No problems at all on the trip. These things are tanks!

    Starting trouble when cold

    By Proto155

    I tried searching but it pulled up too many topics not relevant to what I’ve been experiencing. So, I’ve been having an issue with my 1994 FZJ having trouble starting when it’s cold. I turn the key and the dash lights up but nothing happens. Eventually it kicks over and runs fine after that. I live in Lake Tahoe so it gets down below freezing quite often, and it seems to be getting worse. I’ve replaced the battery and the starter as well as power and ground cables in the last 6 months. Im... Read more

    FJL8T Build Thread

    By TXIN

    TLDR: I plan to swap an L8T and 10l80 to my 1996 FZJ80. Please follow along and provide feedback and advice as you like! I welcome any and all comments, that's how we learn. Alright guys, I've decided to start a build thread to keep myself on track with this project. I'm not the most computer savvy guy (don't use them for work anymore and I'm out of practice) so don't expect a ton of tables, fancy embedded links or the like. I will, however, do my best to share part numbers and as many... Read more

    Need some guidance on desmogged 60

    By McCallywood

    I bought my 60 desmogged. The previous owner added a small cone filter to one of the inlet/tubes on the air intake assembly and left the other two tubes open. It’s my understanding the tube/inlet on the back is for the crank case breather hose (correct me if I’m wrong). What im trying to understand is what the other two are for, and if I should cap both or add another cone filter to the currently open one. Any insight would be appreciated.

    road noise and water?

    By landcruiser3DP

    i've been noticing road noise at the top left of the drivers side window and finally got a minute to do a closer inspection. looks like there is some kind of seal that is broken. i'm assuming i do this four times as long as i am ordering it. what do i call them? any package deals out there? also is it possible this is the reason for water accumulation in those rubber plug sealed wells that run front to back? i am pretty sure my roof drains drain properly (though i have to double check) and i...

    Issues with A/C and compressor itself.

    By avrguser

    Hello. I'm almost done with the engine reseal project, but also have issues with A/C. Found a major leak from a line above the engine, not sure whether I have to replace whole line or just an o-ring. Anyways, there is no refrigerant nor oil in the system. A/C compressor bearing is noisy so needs to be replaced, but how do I check the A/C compressor? I don't want to spend around 800 if I can still use this one with a new bearing and/or clutch. What else I have to do not to ruin the whole A/C... Read more
