I spent some time refreshing my center console these last couple of weeks. I first designed a larger cupholder to hold my yeti rambler and iphone 17. The stp file is available on Cults3d.com for download. Secondly, I had a few broken Latches, so I bought some off of amazon.com that were inexpensive. I noticed that Toyota uses the same clip design throughout varies car models, so it’s pretty easy to source online. The... Read more

This thread is for V8 swaps to 80 Series Toyota Land Cruisers. Your truck frame must start with the following: FJ80-0xxxxxx or FZJ80-0xxxxxx. Of course, it can also start with an HDJ/HZJ iteration. Only the Aussies yank out perfectly good Toyota diesel engines to swap V8 power into them... Oh and our friends in the ME as well. Your frame number will always be on the RH side of your truck, on the frame, right near your front RH shock. Please post direct links to your build thread... Read more

Went to the Toyota showroom today. Was able to snap quite a few pictures of the new 300 series. Didn't take anything for a test drive, but both floor models were the 4.0L V6, not the 3.5L twin turbo. Of note on the specs page on the twin turbo: 9.3km/L equals out to about 21.9 mpg.

Before writing this post I have searched the internet for days and ih8mud site deeply for any technical reviews of how to remove the steering rack on 200 series with a 2uz v8 engine. I have seen some comments where people say that in the Toyota manual the first step is to remove the engine!!!! Linuxgod has gratefully supported me by sending me the link to the 40GB repair manual bit I tried more than once and it didn't work for me. I have spent the whole weekend and still no luck on getting... Read more

Installed the Toyota OEM front strut spacer to try to level things out. Happy with the results. Here’s a before and after. Also changed tire size from 285 60 18 to 275 70 18 and upgraded wheels to heritage edition and removed the side steps. Just wanted to add another before after after for those considering this modification. $75 per side - part below Toyota Front Spring Spacer #43136-60020 | Autoparts.toyota.com Genuine Toyota Front Spring Spacer ensures proper spring spacing, smooth shock movement, and stable front suspension performance. autoparts.toyota.com ...

Hello and greetings from Finnland. I took the courage to put up my project now. I got a bit more hopefull on that it will some day be ready because I got one big thing done. Later you will find out what that thing was. And the story of my Toyota. I found a cassette deck once from a old cowhed. I collect old car radios so I got excited about it. I got it free to my collection. I said that it would be nice to have cable harness for that radio so I could test it. I was told that the car... Read more

For those of you who have been on Mud a while, you may know me. But for those who've joined in the last 6 or 7 years, I'm really no one. I've been a Cruiser guy since I was nearly 3 when my folks bought a brand new '72 FJ40 at Lyons Toyota in Boulder. My cousin still has that 40 in the family. I've had numerous Cruisers all my driving life: a '76 FJ40, an '83 'FJ40 with factory power steering and air, an '84 HJ47 troopy and an '84 FJ40 LX being the main characters with numerous others...

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

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

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. If you have a picture of said part... Read more

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 friend of mine has a GX460 and the rear air bags have deflated. The suspension ECU is now experiencing a "low voltage lockout" due to the battery going flat. All she needs is a techstream or any other OBD bi-directional scan tool to talk to her BECM then tell it to reset that fault code. None of the three Indy shops I called have this ability (including Toyomasters) but if you have a pirated techstream that's a fairly recent version, lmk. My techstream is on Win XP and I was able to... Read more

Hey Mud – I have been meaning to get on here and get some documentation on how my Sequoia build is going but ya’ll know how life goes. Hoping this thread can be inspirational to folks who are looking to push their big bodied rigs a little further than soccer practice and the mall. Background: I came up from Toyota Pickups and 2g 4runners into the full-size segment a few years ago. Cut my teeth on torsion sprung IFS stuff and kinda just evolved into more updated rigs and...

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
