What are you listening to right now???
By lt1fire
Thought this thread would be a good one. It lets us know each others music tastes and can also lead to doors for music we might not have ever heard of. Right now the volume knob is at 35 and Metallica, Sanitarium is pumping out. http://youtu.be/WElvEZj0Ltw The previous songs were Rammstein: Bang Bang http://youtu.be/e502auOnLuA Shine down: Simple man http://youtu.be/rgFQ6WmxdMs Earlier I was listening to the O' Brother where art thou, soundtrack.......

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".
Frame Rust Advice
By Ignignot
Going through the annual ritual of getting the underside of the truck ready for Ohio winter by wire brushing any rusty spots, spraying with rustoleum 2 in 1 rust converter, and finishing with a top coat of woolwax. Sadly this year I found a compromised part of the frame on the passenger side. I was hoping to keep the truck for as long as possible so this is something that needs to be addressed. Would you all recommend i get this patched or try... Read more
POLL: 4:1 split case noise level
By CruiserTrash
I've been pondering regearing my transfer case for a few years now. Every time I'm on a trail I think about how nice it would be to have some more control whether ascending or descending, or going over some technical rocks. In the meantime, I've also been pondering moving to 35" tires from my current 33s. The 4:1 transfer case gears with 10% high range underdrive would make the magic happen for me - I already have 4.11 gears in the diffs and the t-case gear set would make the numbers work... Read more
Lower control arm bushing replacement
By bgriest
I was under the cruiser a couple weeks ago and saw I had an outer tie rod end with a torn boot. I looked at it again today and found grease leaking from the lower control arm ball joint and a crusty upper front bushing. The stabilizer link bushings are also toast (I can't believe these are more than the tie rod ends). From what I can find here on mud and given the fact that I plan to do this in the driveway with basic tools, it looks like the best option is a full lower control arm... Read more
SQOD Squad - Stupid Question Of the Day
By JamesC
Hi all, There are a lot of little things that I wonder about but I don't feel merit that I start a new thread. Still, I'm curious. Maybe this can serve as a repository for those misc questions that are still searchable but don't necessarily fit elsewhere? If no one else sees the value I'll just post mine here LOL!
Uneven tyre pressures for 2000 km. Could this cause diff damage/whine?
By petegangies
G'day guys, Hoping some of the diff experts here can offer an opinion.. I've got a 94 FZJ80 auto, with around 156,000 km. Had a new set of Yokohama Geolandars fitted approximately 2000 km ago, replacing old noisy BFG mud terrains. I've discovered that one of the rear tyres has been losing pressure through a leaking rubber valve stem at the rim. I inflated all four tyres to around 38 PSI roughly a week ago, and the affected rear tyre was already back down around 22 PSI, while the other... Read more

Crossroads with my 100
By Davidsel47
I'm getting my 3rd timing belt put in here soon and I've been thinking about trading for a jeep Cherokee. Has anyone came over from the Jeep side? The older ones seem to be pretty bulletproof like the land cruiser. I'm about to roll on 300,000 miles on my 100, I love it and it still works great but I think I might be ready for change. Also own a gx470 and a 200 series. Am I crazy for wanting to give a Cherokee a shot?
The "Red Rocket" Troopy
By theglobb
Hello all! Around a month ago my father and I bought a LHD 1987 BJ75 Troopy, previously owned by @4btfjz80CO93 and imported by @gilmorneau from France, to be my daily driver. Reading through Gilmorneau's for sale thread it seemed that people were interested in what would happen with this Troopy, so here I am. @4btfjz80CO93 had alotttt of work done to it before we purchased it which you can see here in his for sale thread. It's equipped with the... Read more
I did a Thing! Triple Locked Baby!
By engarom
I found an impossible find. First some back story. In 2022 I had sell my 1991 Land Cruiser. I lived in San Diego and was moving to the Virgin Islands. I couldn't take my baby, because shipping would be almost 5k. I have missed my rig and have always hoped to find one again if I move back to the mainland. I figured I wouldn't find one in the islands and if I did who knows what condition or what the price would be so far from home. Here is my old rig back in San Diego... Read more
fab needed in Salt Lake valley
By hammerheadfistpunch
posting here to get a few more eyeballs. Anyone know a goof fabricator in the Salt Lake Valley to help me repair a front axle issue? I tore off my radius arm bracket on the PS of the front axle in Moab. Got it put back together down there but the axle tube still leaks gear oil. Looking for someone to take a close look at it and put it back together.

Lowering back to stock
By SJWantsADiesel
I am looking to possibly restore my 80 (‘97 LX450) back to stock or as close as possible. Right now, it has a 3.5” rear Dobinsons heavy springs and 2.5” in the front, longer control arms, caster correction plates, adjustable panhard bars, 5.29 gears, and 35” tires plus armor. As I understand, lowering will involve something like either stock factory springs or OME 861/862 combo, and matching shocks. The control arms are adjustable and the caster correction plates have to be removed. I might... Read more
FZJ80 ALTERNATOR UPGRADE
By matzell
Any of you upgrade your alternator? I want to replace mine before the Moab trip, I want a bolt in in case it ever fails on the road. I have seen the thread on mud.

Any thoughts?
No thermostat?
By fj45ww
I have a 1967 Land Cruiser (pickup variant) that has a 2F engine in it and I was planning to do a radiator flush because I saw some rust sledge on the underside of the radiator cap. After I pulled the lower radiator hose to drain out the coolant. I decided that I probably should put a new thermostat as part of a most robust maintenance. I removed the thermostat housing thinking that I would find a thermostat that could be replaced and it turns out that there's no thermostat in there. I'm... Read more
