  NEW PRODUCT: Trail Truss- No More Cracked Frames

  By PIP

  This kit rigidly connects the steering box and panhard bar mount to each other and the passenger frame rail. You cut out the factory undersize 1.25" round tube brace then you bolt these parts to the steering box, panhard mount and opposite frame rail, then weld it together. The new crossmember stiffens up the handling and prevents future frame cracking. https://powertrain-integration.com/products/80-series-trail-truss?variant=68470906749179 ... Read more

  Hi guys, I accidentally pushed too hard on the USB drive in the glovebox, and it fell inside the dashboard cavity. Has this happened to anyone else? Does anyone know of a quick fix? Otherwise, I’m looking at a three-week wait for mobile service.

  1987 LJ70 2L-T won't start

  By Gubbtratt1

  Hi Those who have read my build thread will know that my LJ has been hard to start, which has turned out to be a glow issue and got fixed a couple days ago. Today though when I tried to start it it cranked and put out a bit of white smoke but didn't start. After a few minutes of glowing and cranking I gave up and started troubleshooting. The pump gets fuel just fine, and since I've relocated the tank it's gravity fed. The stop solenoid is confirmed to work just fine. When using the primer... Read more

  CENTER CONSOLE REFRESH, 80 SERIES

  By LandCruiserGEO

  I spent some time refreshing my center console these last couple of weeks. I first designed a larger cupholder to hold my yeti rambler and iphone 17. The stp file is available on Cults3d.com for download. Secondly, I had a few broken Latches, so I bought some off of amazon.com that were inexpensive. I noticed that Toyota uses the same clip design throughout varies car models, so it’s pretty easy to source online. The... Read more

  2004 Land Cruiser Gauge Cluster FIXED! How-To

  By dchilds

  I had an issue that a number of others are experiencing with their 100 series. Four out of six of my gauges worked only about 10% of the time. The rest of the time they were just dead. Research led me to believe that my stepper motors needed replacing. These are little "tomb-shaped" (black in color) motors that are soldered on to the circuit board behind the cluster. The motors look like this: I was not able to find any DIY material for a fix out on the net - only a couple of... Read more

  Gauge Cluster Power. Frustration. "Bypass"?

  By kaj750

  1969 Charger with Rallye cluster. Everything used to work great. At some time, I pulled the cluster and the pin on the circuit board, which provides power to the lighting, broke. I "fixed" it but no luck. I replaced the circuit board. Still no luck. So now, the rest of the cluster continues to work great except for the lighting on the circuit board side. Obviously, I can't see any of my temp/fuel/ammeter gauges at night and I can't stand it. I've replaced the circuit board, bulb holders... Read more

  New guy.

  By kvos40

  Hey guys! Just got a 91 FJ80. She’s super clean and I got it for a steal. Guy said it ran rough when cold. And idled high. And that all started when the exhaust fell off after the cats. This week I started it up and when I put it in drive it died and took all day to start back up. When I pulled the plugs they were super wet so I assume it’s running really rich. I know the induction tubing is all ripped up so I have one coming from city racer. In my trouble shooting I noticed that the... Read more
