    Custom/DIY Roof Rack build - need dimensions!

    By itotallyagree

    Hi team, New here - Scotsman living in Pemberton, BC.

    J95 Fog light relay wiring

    By moeadham

    Hey Folks, I've got a 1998 RZJ95W in Japan. I am working to install some fog lights on it, but have hit a snag on the wiring up the relay. I was hoping I could simply swap out the light stalk on the steering column for one with a fog light switch, and it would trigger the relay under the hood. Unfortunately after purchasing a new stalk, I tested all the wires from the 17-pin header and none actually go to the Fog relay. So after switching back to my old light stalk, I'm now wondering if...

    The Short Rib

    By kbahus

    After selling the Musturd and a 5 year hiatus from Land Cruiser ownership I had the itch again and have been on the hunt for another classic Cruiser. I knew at some point the right one would pop up, but I was getting fairly discouraged looking locally as most were piles of rust. Looking back out west turned up a few candidates, but the logistics were difficult to work through. My wife was even starting to get tired of my endless search when this 55 popped not super far away. This rig... Read more

    Howdy, I’m back!

    By Treyhicks

    I had a 74 v8 fj40 back in early 2000’s. Had a radical cam, a spring over, no traction bar and Detroit’s front and rear lol! We did rubithon a couple times like that and I “learnt” ALOT. It was a love hate relationship! Now decades later I just bought an all original 74 40. Runs and drives but I’m going thru all the age related issues. It’s an Arizona truck with no cancer! Rebuilt carb but need to find a better accelerator pump! Changed the original Toyota shocks but stripped the thread... Read more

    Am I Crazy?

    By bigring911

    Hi everyone, I’m 54 years old and have an opportunity to retrain for a new career. One direction I’m seriously considering is becoming a licensed automotive service technician, with the longer-term goal of getting into the repair, maintenance and restoration of older Japanese 4x4s, particularly Toyota Land Cruisers. I’ve always had an interest in mechanical work and older vehicles, and I’ve got a particular soft spot for the 40 Series Land Cruisers. I own an ‘81 BJ42 myself, which has... Read more

    Keeps shredding belt

    By Pryorrides

    2000 LC 2uz-fe V8. Buddy brought it to me with clickity clak serpentine belt noise. I think okay, idler or tensioner. As Im backing it into the shop it throws the belt. Upon inspection belt has removed itself from the passenger side. I notice that the PS pump pulley is packed with belt material (first pic) The truck appears to have a relatively recent idler pulley replacement. So maybe they had a seized pulley. When it threw the belt it dont not actually break the belt in half. Just the... Read more

    20 years in the making. 72-fj55

    By trainbufftony

    When I was a young man, still in high school my dad and I bought a 1972 fj55, thinking it would be a fun first vehicle to drive to school. Safe, reliable and a head Turner for sure. I drove it to school as a senior and on Christmas break I decided to tear it down for paint. I really liked the truck and wanted to preserve it, and make it nice. This led to that, led to another thing and I never put the truck back together after paint. I ended up leaving to go to school and the project... Read more

    Jackass 55 Chronicles

    By Owyhee Jackass

    I hope to get my 55 in a bit better shape over the summer. Figure I'll document my glacial progress here. I've owned it for 20 years, bought it off a dealer lot here in Boise in 1999. Here's a pic from 15 years ago or so. I should add, it's a 10/72, 1973 with a 4 spd swapped in, original F, electronic ignition, later axles (disc. front) and mini truck power steering.

    FJ55V : This little piggy came home.

    By fre55h

    G'day all! After stalking around the threads I've decided to start this thread. I've been hooked on FJ40 / FJ55s since being invited to the Australian FJ40s meet in Victoria's "High Country" names O.C.K.A (Old Cruisers Kicking Arse) - Check the socials for details. I picked up this all original - factory rusted - FJ55 a few months ago sitting on a farm after the owner couldn't figure out some issue. After a firm handshake it was at my property to start work on. The second photo is... Read more

    What have you done to your 100 Series this week?

    By SHUSH

    I am new to the 100 series. Coming from the 40 forum OCD Bettle has a really successful, fun thread where we post a pic of wheeling, a fix, a new part, etc. for our trucks. It's neat to see the mix of projects, daily driving issues, weekend wheelin reports, etc. I thought the 100 forum could use one... I'll start...today I ordered an Iron Man 2 inch lift kit for my 99'.

    Oil Light on Dash

    By thenative1

    Morning All, My ‘97 is running great. One odd thing is that every so often - maybe every 3rd time I drive it - the oil light comes on. It stays on for 5-10 minutes and then goes off. There are absolutely no leaks in the driveway, the oil level is topped off, and both the oil and filter were replaced about two weeks ago. Anyone have experience with this kind of gremlin? Not sure what governs the light coming on - is it s a sensor that could be faulty? Thanks in advance for any insight(s)... Read more

    Help identify this mystery relay taken from HJ45

    By tabascoloco

    I heard strange noises coming from somewhere beneath the dash/steering column and immediately noticed an unfamiliar relay buzzing/clicking....however when I unplugged it, nothing seemed to be affected ... I'd just like to know exactly WHAT it is for. I didn't find it on any schematics and I find very little searching for this part number - 85915-36010 , which I also found a bit odd. I've removed it from the truck, and haven't noticed a single thing being affected by it. I have... Read more

    2UZ VVTI o-ring replacement warning/ P0012 P0022

    By TXMeatball

    This is probably the best place to post this since there's not a ton of information out there on replacing these. Hopefully the tundra/sequoia people know how to use google. This is just for people getting a P0012/P0022 after changing their o-rings. If you're replacing the cam seals there's no reason to not replace the o-ring, especially with how old these engines are getting. Both mine were rock hard at 226k. FSM calls for replacing the entire VVTI assembly (13050-50021). I bought a pack of... Read more

    0+2=1 LHD body swap to a RHD chassis = fun?

    By Trustyrusty

    Hello all, I thought I should start a thread documenting my journey as it might be helpful to someone else going down the same path. I've always been a Land Cruiser fan. I've had several 40's, a couple rare 45's, a 55, a 60 and an 80, this is my first 70. A LHD 1986 BJ70 came up locally on marketplace and I couldn't help myself, so I snagged it. Instant regret! It had a 1HZ swap, ran and drove, but was dangerously slapped together. I was blinded by "I can fix that" and excitement. All four... Read more
