    Later chrome rear bumper on a 1989 BJ73 — has anyone fitted one?

    By gerasg

    Hi everyone, I have a European-market BJ73 (VM), first registered in November 1989. It has the early-style asymmetric rear bumper arrangement: a shorter left section and a longer right section. I would like to fit the later, more balanced-looking chrome rear bumper with a central step and no lights in the bumper . I’m happy to adapt brackets, but would like to understand what is involved before buying parts. I’m considering two options: 1. New genuine Toyota parts... Read more

    The really faint oil leak

    By Gippster

    Sat in the garage for nearly a month; no oil leak on the floor, but we noticed this while we were down there. I think it's the oil pan gasket; does anyone else want to chime in with clues on what else to inspect before we tear it open?

    Transmission removal

    By cl100

    Does anyone that has removed an a343f have any pointers on getting it out? I am going to be doing this job soon and want to make sure that I do it right but also don't want to have to do a lot on unnecessary stuff. There are threads out there on removing an 80 series trans and a 60 series but I couldn't find one on a 100 series. From the little information I did find it stated that the exhaust had to be unbolted, but from looking at it it doesn't look like it does. Any information from... Read more

    Engine died after a “Pop, sizzle” sound.

    By Stitch

    Greetings Was driving my 84, FJ60 this AM for an early AM hike. After about 4 miles, I heard a pop and sizzling sound then a loss of power. After stopping, I open the hood and the crackling/sizzling sound seemed to be coming from the rear of the engine. No fuse’s are burnt, don’t see any fried wiring, but something happened that ain’t good. Engine cranks, but will not fire, which leads me to a fuel delivery issue. The fusable link looks intact, the alternator was pushing out 13.7 V. Idea’s?

    What's in a name? The slow rebuild of Turtle.

    By Turtle

    I hope I don't jinx myself by posting about it. I'm instead hoping to increase my motivation. Something I've had a severe lack of for many years, for many reasons. I'll start with some pics, and then some expletives... I mean explaining 79 FJ40 Turtle (progress… finally!!!) 76 FJ55 Junior (Holding) 85 BJ70 Falcon (450,000 km and counting) 79 FJ40 Lucky (Not so much,at the moment)

    Window Rocket - who’s tried it?

    By FIDO96

    Saw a YT vid this week and I’m intrigued. I have all new window runs, special dry lube and while much faster (dead of summer) than before, my windows are not what I would call “quick”. Especially if I’m trying to roll-up more than one at a time. I’ll have to see how they perform this winter. This seems to be a good idea, but the comments are all over the place. Mainly because of the $295 price. I’m the first guy to spend money for things others wouldn’t in the name of “I like to... Read more

    Sweet Cup Holders

    By akarilo

    I'm not normally into "trinkets" for the cruiser but I've seen a lot of interest for a cup holder solution for our trucks on Mud. I'm on vacation at Winter Park, CO so I decided to browse Craigist for the surrounding area. I stumbled across some sweet cup holders that I figured would be popular for our community. I don't know if they've already been featured on Mud, but here's the link. No affiliation. http://denver.craigslist.org/pts/4808120694.html

    Classic Land Cruisers Podcast

    By mtn biker

    So I was wondering if there was a 40's-55's and 60's (basically classic cruisers) specific pod casts and what format they are on. I have spotify and there are a couple of ones that i have been listening to. Yotas Yotas Yotas and classic 4x4 pod casts. Like i said they are alright but the Yotas one talks a lot about Tacoma's and Tundra's in particular. and the classic 4x4 one you could probably guess that it is fairly Jeep centric. I am wanting to listen to one just classic cruisers... Read more

    By raisinhell2

    Here we go again . We don't normally get donors in this nice of shape. The lack of rust may spoil us . A 97 triple locked collectors edition came across our path. It' was someone's mistake off BAT sadly about the only thing good on this rig was the body. Through out this thread I will point out stuff we found that may help other who use BAT to avoid such a costly mistake. 1st being do not buy anything where they use painters tape on the mass air flow . ...

    What mods do you regret on your 100 series?

    By cambo16

    I'm currently in the market for a roof rack, drawer system, winter tires, window visors and a digital rear/front bumper camera mirror. My question to you guys is, in the course of your builds, which mods did you find out after the fact were excessive or not as useful as you had thought?

    Beadlockers on Highways

    By koialert

    Hello everyone....thinking of getting new wheels for my 94. Beadlockers are not intended for highway use. Do you run them on highways and how strict is the hwy troopers when you encounter them. I understand that if an accident occurs the insurance company would have a field day if they find beadlockers installed. What are you guys thought , thanks

    By Deny

    So plan is to start working on rusty this winter and I bought new batteries this spring. While Aaron and Kim were up here packing up the mine truck we decided to throw the batteries in and see how it would start after sitting for over 10 years. Well first crank and it fired right up. The clutch slave is seized but still got it going starting in gear after we pulled it out of the ruts it was in with the minihoe. Anyway hoping to turn this into my ultimate wheeling truck so I can retire the... Read more

    2000UZJ's Build

    By 2000UZJ

    Our 2000 UZJ-100 Land Cruiser started off as the kids hauler in 2000. I was 10 years old when my father drove it home. He leased it until 2004, when the lease was up he had two choices. The first was find a different vehicle or purchase the truck (4 years old, 65K, $24K) and keep it. He looked at looked and didn’t find anything that he really wanted. With me being 14 at the time and 1 year away from a learners permit he decided to keep it and let me learn to drive it. It was a tank and was... Read more

    HDJ80R heater valve

    By HDJ80R GNMNXQ

    First time poster, long time user of the forum. I've had my 80 for about 18 years, love it to bits, but it's getting to the age where a number of things need replacing. I've just replaced everything in the AC system, and it appears that the heater valve is no longer working. As we all know, the OEM valve has been unavailable for some time, but I'm wondering if anyone else with an early (12/91) RHD HDJ80 has found a suitable replacement valve. I've looked through the threads here and seen an... Read more
