    LX450 Transfer case Rattle

    By Trail Mule

    Hey ya'll! I have a rattle in my transfercase when I coast. In another words, when I am driving anything about 35 mph and I get off the gas and it coasts or when I am off the gas going down a hill it will rattle. I thought maybe worn out u joints so i rebuilt the front driveshaft and noticed while the driveshaft was off and I had the Transfer case locked with the cdl switch it didn't rattle. I thought maybe the driveshaft. But when I put the driveshaft back on and drove it, it still... Read more

    Any experience with 4x4 Rides in Maryland or Autohaven INC in Virginia?

    By emukid77

    Both of these dealers have multiple good looking 4runners, GXs, and LXs with seemingly good photos but very little history on the cars other than stats. I've messaged both dealers a couple times with no real follow-up. 4x4 Rides has sold several trucks on Cars and Bids and I don't see a lot of complaints there. Just wanted to see if anyone has had an issue with them before I take a weekend and go look at trucks. Thanks for any input!

    Rescuing a 1979 NZ spec? 40 with 2h and h55

    By southern jeeper

    I probably should have started this thread a couple weeks ago when I first picked this thing up but I'll start from the beginning. I saw this truck listed on facebook so far out a message to the guy and ended up talking on the phone with him for a half hours or so. He didn’t have too much information on the truck since he kind of happened into acquiring it. Apparently, it had been abandoned on a friend of his rental property and they said he could have it if he got it hauled off. He was... Read more

    New Gauges for 73 FJ40

    By CKrenz3030

    My instrument panel gauges are not working. I bought a set of three gauges- heat, oil pressure, and volts- to replace. There does not seem to be a good place to mount them on the dash. I looked at a new instrument panel but can't find a good match for my year. What have others done in this situation? Am I better off taking my chances with an aftermarket panel?

    More Cup Holders?

    By bhicks

    I have been getting asked for years from the 40 guys to make them cup holders. I just have not had the time to get to this project until now. I have hired a few guys to take over my other duties so I can get back to product development; the one area I actually enjoy. I need some help from you guys in telling me what I have. I was able to track down 2 center consoles. What years are these from? I was able to design a single and double for the older console and a double for the new console... Read more

    Scan tool what is everyone using and what do you recommend for 2008 Tundra 5.7

    By Hogan

    I have the ABS light on with traction control, 4Hi and one or two other dash light flashing. I have had this happen a couple times before and have taken it to the deal to get it fixed. Usually it's a wire chewed up by a little beast. I have visually inspected the ABS sensor wires and didn't see any damage. Instead of paying the dealer to scan it I figure I can purchase a scanner and do it myself. Any help would be appreciated.

    Dream Build - 1988 HJ61 w/ 12HT Restoration and Modding *Photo Heavy*

    By inv3ctiv3

    I got my first 60 series about 16 years ago (a 1988 FJ62) and have since owned a few since then. The 60 series has always been my favorite LC, I appreciate all the others but the 60 is what did it for me. That said the US market FJ62's have always left something to be desired, the 3FE is just a dog so I'd always dreamed of owning a JDM turbo diesel version. Fast forward to about 10 years ago when I met my friend Zach who had a 1988 HJ61 with the 12HT and the turbo stripes. I knew at some... Read more

    Hey gang- Been searching, just can't find squat on this topic.....perhaps I don't know how to search very well? 2007 LC, have replaced rear lower control arms/links with OEM twice...now time to get serious! Not hardcore offroader, not rock crawler, but dang, keep getting caught in rocks beds/gardens and bend the crap out of them and screw up steering, also have worn out the rubber bushing on both upper and lowers. A 200 friend recommended MetalTech offset rear lower links. Experience for... Read more

    Rear Control Arms - can you buy just the bushings?

    By lexi4darin

    Have guys been able to track down just the bushings in the lower/upper control arms for the rear? Seems that most guys are up'ing the sturdiness of the lower control arm and I too am very interested in this. However, for now I'd like to just see if I can press bushings into the OEM Toy rear arms. I'd like to this first and then consider up'ing the lower control arm down the road.

    Finding Garrett from Valley Tech Fabrication

    By Tata

    Hello. I am looking for Garrett from Valley Tech Fabrication because I am interested in purchasing some products from him for my 100 Series. I have tried reaching out via his website, email, and social media, but I haven’t received any response. When I try to place an order on the website, the message "This store is unavailable" appears. Does anyone here know anything about this—is he still manufacturing his products? I need to get in touch with him; please help me. How can I contact him?

    Looking at a 1993 Toyota Land Cruiser FZJ75 Troopy 5-Speed

    By Spike Strip

    Looking at this truck, but I really know nothing about these 70-series and how they get imported. I'm in CA and certainly Calif reg would be an issue. Currently registered in Oregon but living close to me. Is this someone's truck here ? I asked the seller's proxy about the VIN plate and they said it was imported that way. Why would the VIN have been etched out? (bottom is Google translate). The Frame number does match the vehicle specs of a General market 1993 ... ... Read more

    Love all over again…

    By umpqua

    Retrieved the 1980 Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser from my mechanics garage yesterday evening. It’s been in storage for ~4 years. I limped it to a gas station, put in fresh gas and it woke up ready for adventure. I took it to a welder that I’ve met who is a “car guy” and he will weld in patch panels where the previous owner had put in fender flares. This will return it to its original form. This Land Cruiser was purchased from my friend Chuck Girard in Arkansas. I know I’ve had it well over 30... Read more

    Roof rack questions

    By bomberopm

    Looking at roof racks for 2011 570. Some say they are not necessary but I could use it to carry kayaks and such. With there being so many, it’s hard to make a decision as most look very similar. My concerns are noise, durability/ease of use and availability of attachments and lighting attachment points. Am I missing things to be concerned about? Anyone have a rack they like and why would be helpful

    Ultimate OEM 4X SERIES PARTS IN STOCK

    I did this in the 55 section and it has done really well. https://forum.ih8mud.com/fj55-iron-pig-preservation-society/246266-oem-fj55-parts-stock.html If you have a part# you know is still available through Toyota for a 40 and you know the price and year it came from post it up. I cannot tell you how many times I've paid more for a used part that I thought was discontinued only to find out it was new and cheaper than the used part I bought.

    01/98 LX 470 Rear Right AHC Leak

    By imtsez

    Hey guys, I had a question regarding the AHC components on my 1998 Lexus LX470. Build date 01/98. The rear right AHC hose is leaking (P/N 49163-60010) and it looks to be discontinued from Lexus. The top of the shock also looks to be leaking, and I was wanting to replace the shock to be safe. I already bought a used Accumulator Assy, with an Accumulator. Would I be able to replace just the shock and hose to the newer versions since they're still made? The newer pressure hose is P/N... Read more

    1KD-FTV failed injectors and cracked pistons

    By dlz150

    Hello all, I have a 2010 LC150 1KD-FTV and just had a major failure while coming back from a trip. After towing it to the mechanic he diagnosed that the injectors were faulty, which caused 2 of the pistons to crack and that resulted in scoring of the cylinder walls (maybe there's something more but this is the most important info I remember from our quick call). The same thing (I think) happened to the previous owner and the engine was rebuilt and rebored (it's in the service history and I... Read more

    Harumi the Rusty Rescue JDM HJ60 - Build Thread

    By BrickRunner

    Hello Mud People! This is the story of Harumi the Rusty Rescue, a poor neglected cruiser full of rust holes. I've wanted a Land Cruiser since I was 16, but ended up getting a 1st gen 4Runner when I was 17 (which was a compromise with the folks, who were footing the bill). The 4Runner served me well through college as a commuter and adventuremobile. After graduation I picked up a MK1 MR2 as a commuter to save on gas and keep the miles off of the 4Runner, also allowing down time... Read more
