Help: Antenna Assembly/Mast
By Maxgrapene
I replaced my broken antenna mast. Elongation worked fine but on retraction there is a grinding noise for a good 5seconds before it quiets down( works fine otherwise). I opened up the motor, cleaned, lubricated and re-assembled it but sounds the same. To boot I dropped the chrome "cap" and can't find it! Two requests 1. What is the solution to the grinding noise; note mast is after market bit it matched up in length to the broken original. 2. How do I get a new "chrome cap" ?

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

How do you carry your bike on/with your Land Cruiser?
By wagonteeth
I've taken a liking to mountain biking and there is a nice network of mtb trails close by. I have a 2 bike hitch rack that works well with my wife's 4Runner or my Tundra, but with a tire carrier on the back of my 80 series, the rack sticks out too far for my liking. I've been forming some ideas in my head for a fork mount vertically on my fuel can carrier to keep the bike tucked close and high enough to not affect departure angle, but I'm not sold on loading it that's way each time, or...

SPC UCA Replacement Bushings
By wthomp10
My SPC upper control arms are squeaking like crazy. SPC said the replacement bushings part #25030 will fix the squeaking. Has anyone used these replacements? https://www.summitracing.com/parts/sps-25030?srsltid=AYCX9vIyKxv_i6wDZTXdg0u8RW-7NaJdK6qnmn7hqN5iZONVNZeNtthf

Suspension Advice
By julianramirez1005
I have a mostly stock 1989 FJ62 with an old OME Dakar kit, OMEKIT-60DLL, that the previous owner had installed in 2009. I also have aftermarket front bumper which adds ~100lbs maybe Does anyone know if these springs came with specific left and right sides back then? I’ve read through the ARB guides and cruiserteq's ome info , but im still unsure. My driver’s side sits about 1" lower than the passenger side, and the rear sits a little high—some stink bug going on. A whole... Read more

Center Brake light
By QUIENYO
Anyone have any leads on a rear center brake light? Took my 2000 LX470 through the car wash and not surprisingly, it was broken in half and nearly ripped off by something along the wash cycle. Got some water intrusion inside the rear window and the sides plus a bit on the carpet. Thanks for any sources aside from a new OEM for $312.

HEADERS?
By hillbill
I have a 05 GX 470 with a bunch of miles, 383,000 to be exact. Still runs and drives great but once again it has developed an exhaust leak at the manifold, this makes the third go around on cracked manifolds so I'm contemplating going the header route this time instead, it needs new exhaust anyway . It's my hunting rig and serves the purpose quite well so I plan to keep it for the rest of its /my life. Mods so far are lift / shocks wheel bearings, seals tie rods, control arms etc. E locker...

Current cam tower leak, previous leak or valve covers?
By derk87
Had a buddy of mine who is familiar with the older tundras look over my LX for the cam tower leak. He checked it out on his lift for awhile but couldn’t tell me definitely if it is currently leaking or if it was previously fixed or it could be the valve covers. I’m not losing any oil over the past few weeks and have driven about 500 miles. Looking at pics from others it looks like a cam tower but I could be wrong. Very faint oil burning smell after driving all day but isn’t all the time... Read more
Making Ashram, a new phone mount replacing the ashtray in the 100-series
By ericanand
Ashram is a drop-in replacement for the 100-series ashtray with a 2-hole AMPS mount compatible with RAM diamond-shaped ball mounts. You just take out the ash tray and slide this in until it clicks. To remove it, press the button and pull it out. No disassembly. Fully reversible. Install or remove in a couple seconds. This solves a real problem I have with my Land Cruiser – where to mount a phone that's not in the way. I also make an AHC button / coin tray... Read more
Recent drought and this year's monsoon.

Looking for something positive. Just opened a $451 water bill. I guess that our property is somewhat green can fit but driving around Oracle is scary, lot's of dying and dead oaks and junipers. Maybe a club rain dance is in order.
