    VI: Buy/Sell/Trade, In Search Of

    By bikersmurf

    I got to thinking that most of out here have got boxes of cruiser bits in boxes... While others are looking for parts. What parts are people looking for? I have an auxillary tank to install and would love to get hold of the gas dor and the sheet metal to go around it. Also Inner and outter Rockers that could be rebuilt. Maybe even a better hood that hasn't been dented up if some has one cheap. I know, I know, champagne tastes on a beer budget. I have somewhat of a cashflow... Read more

    Best Engine Paint for 3B Block

    By Gub67

    I have purchased a 3B engine for my 40. I want to clean and paint the block. What is the best paint to use? Regarding color, what are its original options? My 40 is 1981. The engine came out of a 1988 70 series LC. If you have painted a block before, please feel free to walk me through the best practice steps for painting it. Thanks.

    SAUDI IMPORTS-Information Thread

    By wngrog

    This is the main reason I started this forum. So many people are asking me about Saudi Land Cruiser imports that I needed a landing page for all of the information. As of 5-31-2026, in partnership with @Meshal we have sold/imported 26 Land Cruisers. This partnership has been successful because I trust Meshal to get me the best Land Cruisers for our customers. Meshal is a designer by trade, not a used car person, however he’s a Land Cruiser fanatic first. Just like me, he loves these... Read more

    Ceramic coolant sealants

    By LivLandCruizer

    I think I have a small microscopic crack or breach of the coolant system overheated once and has never done it again, but I think perhaps there’s been a small bit of damage. Before I start ripping the head off I wondered if it would be worth a try, putting some high-quality ceramic seal in to see if it would buy me some time. Does anybody have any suggestions or product knowledge that would work in the KHJ Seven Prado

    Anyone running a LS/AX15/3Spd Tcase?

    By badsamaritan

    I've started down the path of this swap and just wanted to see if anyone else has tried this as well. I am in a 1969 FJ40 and since my torque tube is closer I am at a crossroads. Searching has come up with much for my specific situation.

    It's all a mystery - rough idle, CEL

    By Not That Brock

    Sorry for the long copy. We have a 2000 Land Cruiser with 337,000 miles. Always has run well. Just needed periodic batteries, tires, and oil changes. Did have to replace the trannie years back. Lately, it starting shaking at idle and under load, and the check engine light came on (solid). It threw off a misfire code on cylinder 3 and the fuel trims were way high (+19.5%). Took it to a garage and they, after inspection, would not touch it until they replaced the plugs, the #3 ignition... Read more

    8x Series V8 Swaps

    By OGBeno

    This thread is for V8 swaps to 80 Series Toyota Land Cruisers. Your truck frame must start with the following: FJ80-0xxxxxx or FZJ80-0xxxxxx. Of course, it can also start with an HDJ/HZJ iteration. Only the Aussies yank out perfectly good Toyota diesel engines to swap V8 power into them... Oh and our friends in the ME as well. Your frame number will always be on the RH side of your truck, on the frame, right near your front RH shock. Please post direct links to your build thread... Read more

    Brake and power steering upgrades

    By Bishop97LC

    Not sure if anyone has these issues with their 200 series but... 1) I've found my steering to be sluggish and the return to center, slow. Tires are 35psi all around on LT275/70R18 KO3's so I don't think that's the problem, and steering rack recently replaced. I've driven another LC200 whose steering felt much lighter which I loved. Would a power steering pump upgrade make sense and what kind. Or something else? 2) My brakes take more effort than I'd like for stopping. Recommend Powerstop... Read more

    Carb ID help - 1977 FJ, export spec?

    By moogieman

    Finally have some time and want to get my 77 FJ running and on the road for the spring. I am looking for a rebuild kit, and searched the forums here for answers. My carb has a 180 (or does this say ISO??, my dad and I are in disagreement here) and a 8 stamped on it, no further letters or numbers that I can see. From what google tells me, this could be because it is a South American export model which is different than the ones sold for US/CA and has a lot less hoses and emissions. The only... Read more

    Pioneer TS-G1645R install for front speakers

    By suadero

    Hi all, Long time lurker, first time poster. I have recently purchased a 1994 80 series and appreciate GREATLY the repository of information that this forum has provided. Although I work in technology, I've gone from zero car experience to at least one banana thanks to the fine folks here and their wealth of experience. The one place I had to use more trial and error than I had hoped was in speaker purchase/installation, where there are a LOT of differing opinions about what fits and... Read more

    300 Series Picture Thread

    By prwillard2

    Went to the Toyota showroom today. Was able to snap quite a few pictures of the new 300 series. Didn't take anything for a test drive, but both floor models were the 4.0L V6, not the 3.5L twin turbo. Of note on the specs page on the twin turbo: 9.3km/L equals out to about 21.9 mpg.

    Who is running things around here these days?

    By MoGas

    I’m just getting back to AZ after being out of state doing offshore work for 10 years. I joined back when @BMAN was the president and then he sort of faded away and I think @LandCruiserPhil was handling many aspects. I used to put together NAZ runs and little meet ups, but not anything official. I realize the looseness of this club, but I’m curious of who does what these days. Can we get an Orginization Chart? Who is the President? Who collects dues from new members? Who has... Read more

    Hi Arizona Land Cruiser folk! I just fired up my build thread after driving my new-to-me 97' Land Cruiser from Phoenix/Prescott up to BC Canada early in the spring.

    6T5 LV Barn Rescue

    By Pics45

    So, I thought it was time to post a build thread from the "LV parts wanted" thread. I've been working at getting this thing pieced together, collecting parts from all over the world, local, and from the LV network. Last March I acquired this LV from a Cruiser guru, talked him into selling his last LV at a swap meet, and the rest is history. After releasing it from the rafters in his barn, and carefully loading it on the the trailer with his tractor, the LV made it back home. I knew it... Read more

    Tippy is back…hopefully

    By NOSAJ

    So long story of course. I bought this pig out of Beaufort NC about 12 years ago off of Mud here in the classifieds. I had it shipped in to Franklin TN. My now 15 year old claimed it as his ever since Tippy showed up. It’s been sitting either on side of my house or in the field. We’ve been working on it on and off over the years. We finally moved it into the barn to get it going again hopefully for SSS23 but for his 16th birthday too. I’ve still got quite a list but so far a different 2f has... Read more

    Victron DC to DC charger not working correctly

    By RanchoSuenoAzul

    I recently acquired this cruiser with the ARB compressor onboard running off a Dakota Lithium battery. The battery was run flat, I charged it up and it's fine but the Victron would not stay on. I fiddled with the engine off detection and the minimal voltage settings until I could see it recognize the input voltage and start to charge for a moment or two and then it would turn off. A voltmeter showed the input voltage OK at first on the Victron then it drops suddenly to 7 something and the... Read more
