    1965 FJ45LV to 2002 LX470

    By JackA

    I recently upgraded from wheeling my 1965 FJ45LV to a 2002 LX470. The adventures with the LV are covered here: Build - after KOH LV build forum.ih8mud.com This thread will cover the build up and all the trips I take with the new to me rig. I bought a 2002 LX470 with 257000 on the ticker. It was a 2 owner. The 2nd owner had it the majority of its life. It lived in North Carolina and AZ the last 15 years. All servicing was done at the Lexus dealer. It is super... Read more

    LJ78 Build

    By aidanshmaden

    Picked this 1991 LJ78 a few weeks back and have gotten right to work making it my own. This is my second LJ78, both being the same year and colour haha. I owned a few other Toyotas in between but always wanted to get back into a cruiser. I had my eyes peeled for another Prado as the coil sprung solid axle configuration seems like it will be pretty killer for wheeling. It has a bit of body rust but its a pretty solid truck otherwise. Pretty happy with the price I paid too. Picked it up for... Read more

    What are you working on?

    By crawlin40

    As we sit here in PA this winter getting hit with all this snow, hopefully everybody has warm coveralls, a heater in the garage, or just thick blood so that some of the Toyota projects are still going on in anticipation of some better wheeling weather. So I am going to start the thread. I am going through the dreaded P0401 code that 80s tend top get and have to deal with due to emmssions. I decided to replace all the major parts of the system except for the EGR and to replace all vacuum... Read more

    EPA form importing 12ht

    By ukaviator

    Hey guys Looking for some fast info Importing a 12HT and h55 (engine and trans only) from the Netherlands ... I’m filling in the US EPA form and want to make sure I tick (literally) all the correct boxes. Has anyone done this before? The form isn’t clear. The definition on the decision flow chart seems to classify the diesel under a “marine, locomotive, or other land-based nonroad” vehicle as it is not a “spark-ignition engine” So would it be box “B” for locomotive engines, or...

    Just curious, what's your OTHER vehicle?

    By PhillipPinot

    My "wife's car" is the LC200 (aka Marshmallow). Me? I drive a 2010 civic that just won't die, but I hope will die in 3 years. I may get a Prius to save on gas (I know, I know), or just may say forget it and get a used Lexus IS-F. Maybe even a pickup? (Read: Raptor)

    Anyone recognize this 80

    As the title states, does anyone recognize this 80 and have any history on it? 1997 Lexus 450 with TJM front bumper, Superwinch X9, IPF lights, Slee (?) rear bumper, Wagongear tailgate storage, pipe rail under rocker panels, dual batteries, ARB compressor in rear, metric butt load of USB ports, Iron Man lift. It has some quarter panel and front inner fender rust but nothing significant otherwise... Read more

    The official part number request thread

    By bloc

    (Edit: PLEASE include model year, whether it’s a LC or LX, and if possible the build date listed on the VIN tag in the driver’s door jamb.) Hello all, I’m fortunate enough to have access to a system to look up part numbers, and figure having a single place to put all the obscure requests would be a good idea. So here it is. Please post what you need, whether it’s LX or LC, model year AND build date, and if possible a picture.. and I’ll see if I can dig up useful numbers. Btw if it’s... Read more

    Is anyone experiencing cracking front window on GX550?

    By dms

    One of my wife's friends has a GX550 and is on her 3rd front windshield. One was the result of a crack which developed from a rock chip, but there were 2 others, one of which occured while the car was put on a lift at the dealership. The dealership told her that they had several others with this issue and that it seemed to be a problem with the GX550. I know my 13 LC was a rock magnet but cracking on a lift seems strange.

    Prebuilt 200 build

    As a few know I bought tampacruisers 2008 Landcruiser. Until last night I had only sat in the front seat of a 200 one time, never driven one, never worked on one.

    Live in Texas, drive a pickup: HDJ79 single cab build

    By bottombracket

    A few months ago, I was innocuously texting @joekatana and telling him much I was enjoying driving the HZJ80 poverty pack I had bought from him. He asked me what my plans for my next Cruiser project were, and I told him that I was pretty happy with the 80, sprucing it up while driving it daily. I did mention that I really dug @Spallet ‘s HDJ79 and @Mr Cimarron ’s Cummins/75/80 build, and that @c2dfj45 ‘s 79 builds were awesome. I think my exact words were, “if you... Read more

    Cajun Green Forty Swap - Tilda Bogue Service Station

    By wngrog

    Bringing another one in…… This one made a trip up here a year ago for a Sniper but with the 3 speed transmission it was like adding a racing saddle to a jackass. He made contact and we made a plan. He dropped it off a few weeks ago and I was supposed to start it last week but my boy blew up Powda Blue so I had to sneak it in before I started this.

    What apps / devices do you use in your 80 series?

    By musthave

    We all use a variety of apps and devices in our 80 series, and perhaps with life in general. I’m interested in finding out which ones others are using while driving their Land Cruiser. Here are just a few that come to mind that I have/had. Hema, OnX, Osmand Maps, Apple Maps, Google maps, Wais. Then Scangauge, ultragauge, and maybe others? Life 360, or other similar apps?

    Mag's poor man 1HD-FTE dream.

    By Mag71k5

    Hey all, relatively new to the 80's series platform, but I've always been a fan and wanted one for years. Then I made a terrible mistake, I started researching builds and which way I wanted to take my LX450. Then I really made a mistake and started reading through @jomelo and @SNLC 's builds threads. So shout to you guys for inspiring this 1HD-FTE dream, and financial nightmare. So I bought the LX450 about a year ago now, had 150k on the odometer, and I've added about 10k in... Read more

    NEW PRODUCT: Trail Truss- No More Cracked Frames

    By PIP

    This kit rigidly connects the steering box and panhard bar mount to each other and the passenger frame rail. You cut out the factory undersize 1.25" round tube brace then you bolt these parts to the steering box, panhard mount and opposite frame rail, then weld it together. The new crossmember stiffens up the handling and prevents future frame cracking. https://powertrain-integration.com/products/80-series-trail-truss?variant=68470906749179 ... Read more

    1987 LJ70 2L-T won't start

    By Gubbtratt1

    Hi Those who have read my build thread will know that my LJ has been hard to start, which has turned out to be a glow issue and got fixed a couple days ago. Today though when I tried to start it it cranked and put out a bit of white smoke but didn't start. After a few minutes of glowing and cranking I gave up and started troubleshooting. The pump gets fuel just fine, and since I've relocated the tank it's gravity fed. The stop solenoid is confirmed to work just fine. When using the primer... Read more

    CENTER CONSOLE REFRESH, 80 SERIES

    By LandCruiserGEO

    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

    2004 Land Cruiser Gauge Cluster FIXED! How-To

    By dchilds

    I had an issue that a number of others are experiencing with their 100 series. Four out of six of my gauges worked only about 10% of the time. The rest of the time they were just dead. Research led me to believe that my stepper motors needed replacing. These are little "tomb-shaped" (black in color) motors that are soldered on to the circuit board behind the cluster. The motors look like this: I was not able to find any DIY material for a fix out on the net - only a couple of... Read more

    New guy.

    By kvos40

    Hey guys! Just got a 91 FJ80. She’s super clean and I got it for a steal. Guy said it ran rough when cold. And idled high. And that all started when the exhaust fell off after the cats. This week I started it up and when I put it in drive it died and took all day to start back up. When I pulled the plugs they were super wet so I assume it’s running really rich. I know the induction tubing is all ripped up so I have one coming from city racer. In my trouble shooting I noticed that the... Read more

    76 Fj40 Face Lift

    By Chungas Revenge

    I picked up a 76 TLC Fj40 about three years ago. Saw my 1st "40" up close when I was a kid. While sharing lunch with a fellow hunter I met, I commented on his "Jeep"...Well you get the picture. I got the lecture! The seed was planted and I picked the "red pill" shoulda' went with "blue". Fast forward thirty years later to North Africa, and I am driving a 10,000 pound, Up-armored Land Cruiser. Other than new tires every month or so, that machine was indestructible and despite it's...

    2UZ transmission thoughts.

    By Tigerstripe40

    I am considering putting a 2UZ drivetrain into my FJ40. The FJ40 would be stretched 10". I've been planning to get a 2UZ and A750 and associated wiring out of a Sequoia. This can be connected to the J80/J100 transfer case with a 3:1 low range gear set. But the A750 is VERY long. If I could, I'd run a TR4050, but I have not been able to find a bellhousing adapter to a 2UZ for that transmission. H55F bellhousing needs to come from Australia and I need to ship the ring gear overseas. This... Read more

    Another Prado in Montana

    By AirheadNut

    Well, here goes again! After selling my G-Wagon, I wanted something that was better suited to a daily driver, and something that got better than 15mpg on the highway... So, I bought another Prado: This one is a 1991 SX5 with an R150f 5-speed manual. It is absolutely bone stock, with a whopping 107k km on the clock. Factory electric winch (as far as I could tell it had never been used till I got it), and an original cylinder head. So far I have put about 2000km on it in my... Read more
