I'm trying to feed about 1/2 inch of bundled wires from the inner driver side pillar to the engine compartment to my bussmann fuse box. Can anyone tell me where it's safe to do a 3/4" cut out in this area? I'll of course have a rubber boot to put on place. Thank you

Well this has taken a bit of time but my BIL just flew to Charlotte to drive my "new to me" 1977 pig back to his house near Atlanta. Unfortunately I'm not in the country but will be back to see it first hand in early July. Brace yourselves as I will have a hundred questions.......

I recently did a suspension service (inner snd outer tie rods) and got an alignment. I took it for a 20 min drive just to let the cruiser settle and see if there was any noticeable changes. After sitting for about 3 hours, I went out and saw a fluid coming down from the torsion bar on the driver side. It’s red in color and a bit sticky. It seems like the drip is coming right under the driver side footwell. Here’s a couple pictures. It looks like it dripped and ran down toward the front... Read more

I've had my 80 series for a few years now. I've put almost 120 thousand km's on it, its up to 612000kms at the moment. Its done me well, Mechanically its faultless. But I want more horse power. Ever since I bought it, I've wanted to put a big American diesel engine in it. Wanted to keep it a diesel because its more of a work horse than an off roader. Its always been a toss up between either a Duramax or a... Read more

I've had this Land cruiser for a couple years now and haven't done the thing to it. I'm waiting on my body guy , he is working on my fj45. So in the meantime I thought I'd freshen this thing up with some new springs, shocks steering, seats, electrical. Getting the top painted this week. It deserves some attention.

To say I'm disappointed to have spent a non-trivial amount of money only to find an issue week after week would be an understatement. The rig was serviced last year at a shop; they installed the rebuilt motor and the H55F + T-case from Georg, a brand-new build. That's all I know about it, so I'm now having to work backward to figure out what's going on. I drove it earlier on the highway in 5th gear; it was rattling. Felt sluggish; at 55 mph, the wheels felt like they were rattling. Didn't... Read more

Its time for new tires but I'm a little confused what load range for the next set. Current tires are BFG KO2 in 285/70R17 Load Range C and they are done after about 4 years and 45K miles. They are very loud and show cracking between the tread blocks. Tires felt fine new when the truck was stock but it was steadily modified and now has bumper, winch, lights, sliders, roof rack etc. Most of the time its me, wife, son, 100lb German Shepherd and gear in the truck. The truck feels... Read more

Pic of Mongo, who is just a few days old.. and his older brother Bam Bam my 82 fj60. I'm looking for upgrades to increase long term reliability. I know 5k oil changes w/ full synthetic are #1. Magnetic drain plugs for oil. Pan, and diffs... Anywhere else? Anyone know, sizes or part numbers for upgrades? 2nd Trans cooler, any brands better than others? What else? I'm mostly doing cheap stuff atm, rain guards for windows, lots of plastic added storage and... Read more

It’s all about giving back to fellow members…. I didn’t see anything out there for a decent cup holder so I had my neighbor help me make this one… let’s not try to make $$ on this and just share it so we have a spot for our cups…haha… Everything I found was for 08-15 LXs…

Hi everyone. I've finally gotten around to posting up a thread on my FJ40 build. Some background: I bought the 40 back in 2018 for $4,000. Originally I planned to put in a 12HT, but I couldn't find one. I went so far as to get a 6.3L LM7 V8 and all the adapter parts to put it in. In the end, I just couldn't bring myself to own a landcruiser that didnt have a Toyota engine. So I hunted for a 12HT for over a year and a half. Finally, I found a good one. This will be my fourth 12HT swap... Read more

Has anyone ordered a set of these lights before? They look pretty similar to the Lightwerkz kit but for a much better price. https://www.ninjacruiser.com/products/lc100-led-projector-headlights-glass-lens-toyota-land-cruiser-100-series-1998-2004

In the 80 Tech Forum there is a "What did you do with your 80 this weekend" thread. In that thread 80 owners post what they've been doing with their rigs. This include mods, engine swaps, wheeling trips, just posting a photo of it in the driveway and saying, "I looked at it" or "did an oil change" and things related to anything 80 series. I think it would be cool to see what local club members are currently doing with their rigs/adventures/toyota related things and thats why I'm starting... Read more

These types of threads exist at great length in many of the other series forums, kinda odd to start thinking about URJ200 and LX570 parts that are already getting discontinued. Most of the parts I've seen thus far have been color specific trim items and there are often workarounds with later model parts. A word of warning for threads like this: unless you **speak** with a Toyota parts professional that has access to the Toyota Parts Master database, and they then confirm the part is... Read more

A couple of months ago Georg reached out to ask if I had anyone looking for a 40. And I did. We had been looking at them on and off for 6 months when this one came along I knew it was what we wanted. Introducing The Green Weed. This 2/77 FJ40 was purchased off the lot in Northern California by the original owner when he was 25 years old. One meticulous owner that is suffering from health issues and is trying to lighten the load on his family getting rid of some stuff. It took... Read more

Anybody find a source for original type fuel lines and fittings? I have a lot of it, mostly in 6" lengths...the stuff seems to be very durable. I would rather not do the rubber stuff with hose clamps, but will if I have to...

Hello Mud Community, Over the last 9 months there has been some great headway made on the ZhiFang 12.1" Tesla style touchscreen radio with integrated climate controls. There are a few dedicated threads to specific installs and I figured it was about time to create a general discussion forum as lots of good install info if getting buried in these threads. For those of you who have not seen this yet it seems to have started here: Tesla style head unit - has anyone seen this? Specific... Read more

I keep retyping my “formula” for old Patina preservation so I decided to make a thread so I can just link my response to how I preserve my old Land Cruisers the way I do. For the last 3 years I have been learning how to preserve Land Cruisers in their original state. Protecting their original finish where able to let the worn paint and dents tell the story of the vehicle. It all started when I found this 1968 FJ40. I immediately fell in love with it and wanted to keep it as close to the... Read more

Cruiser has been sitting for about 5 years. Recently got it running and only the Volt meter is working in cluster. Lights work in cluster. I went through wiring diagram from Coolermans site, pulled the cluster and disconnected the plug. I am getting 12v from blue/red stripe wire using ground in plug. But I am not getting any voltage from gas/ temp/oil. Should I be able to read volts at the plug for all three? Any other diagnosis tips I should try?

How it started, vs how it's going. Picked this up about 8 months ago....its been living down in the fj25 section, due to its early birth date and the many 25 series carry over parts it has. But it is a 40 series and felt that an update here wasn't out of line.

I picked up my first gen back in 2018 and mainly became bored of it, but at the same time my kids are getting bigger and did want more a bit more interior space. I wouldn't mind a touch more luxury and a little more towing capacity for my car trailer doesn't hurt either. I was on the hunt for a platinum trim sequoia. I found a few online in the areas I was most interested (I did not want anything from the salt belt I live in), and went down to Maryland to check one out but had another... Read more

I just noticed I have a small crack in my dashboard. That is something that has always bothered me and now my truck has one. Is there anything that can be done this early to help slow it from getting bigger? Can an upholstery shop maybe fill it with something with a color match sealant or something? I guess I will eventually be replacing the dash but have seen images of guys doing that on the forum and I’m not sure if I want to get into that anytime soon. I bet the long freeze we had a few...

Hi, I am hoping there are some electrical guru that can help point me in the direction. I lack understanding when it comes to these systems but can usually troubleshoot and use a multimeter and figure it out. In this case I just can even figure out where to start. The problem is I changed over to a Pertronix electronic ignition and the high voltage coil. With this setup I do not have dash lights, when I switch back to the OEM coil I have dash lights. I have heard the recommendation of... Read more
