    By Cruisers and Co

    We've been teasing our turbo kits for awhile now and they are finally available on the website!

We're a small Land Cruiser and Toyota 4wd shop based just north of... Read more

    Gary's Memorial Run NOVEMBER 7! 2026

    By AJAEbj42

    Talking with Franz and Bill, it looks like this weekend (Oct 17) is a no-go for several, so let's try for the first Saturday in November. Really flirting with snow, but perhaps the mild winter will accompany us! Hey Cruiserheads, Time to think about our run NOVEMBER 7! Please post up if you're able to join and/or lead the run. I spoke to Jon this weekend and he was able to do the Thursten traverse; there is some grading going on and the washout at the bottom is a bit... Read more

    Procrastination Cruiser - the hurricane made me do it

    By Texas Navy

    Well Mud, it's finally time I started a build thread, if for the accountability of it. Some background: I bought a 1978 40 series in 2013. Loved the truck, but had a young family that grew and was moving a bunch in the Navy. Eventually, I sold that truck in 2020 and immediately regretted it. About a year later, I drove by an 80 series parked by the road at a business with a For Sale sign on it, and bought it the next day. It was a 97, had 240k on the clock, and the AC was ice cold (I live in... Read more

    Dogs of MUD!

    By TheForger

    After taking a little detour over to the 200 section I saw a bunch of guys posting pics of their dogs in the "200 Photos Thread". I thought it would be good to do something similar except in a dedicated thread. I'm sure almost everyone on this forum has their favorite furry four-legged friend(s) so I figured it'd be cool for us to share and to see all the different breeds out there. Anyways, I guess I will begin - this is Molly and she is a 9 year old black and white English Springer... Read more

    1977 FJ40 Build Thread

    By brianrb100

    I'm going to start my own thread on my FJ40 since I have lots of questions! For starters, here's my rig: The top and ambulance doors were only temporarily installed for shipping. So far, we haven't found too many bolts that were actually tightened, and there is a lot of missing hardware. The spare tire carrier seems to be missing hardware since the latch kept opening when I drove it. Can anyone help me out with what I'm missing? ... Read more

    Man A Fre Lighting Strike e-Ignition in general - Nay or Yay?

    By IS2SPICY4U

    FYI- This is in relation to my previous post here I decided to go with electronic ignition as this is what the cool kids are doing these days it seems. So, I'd like to hear what everybody else that is running this setup thinks. Whether you are running the Man A Fre or the D.U.I. dizzy, what are your thoughts? Nay or yay? With or without the vacuum advance? Since I've been chasing vacuum leaks pretty much from day 1, I have more vacuum lines capped that I can count, 2F won't idle... Read more

    Rusty driver's floor plug

    By marshcat

    I'm chasing a water leak on the driver's side of my 60. I pulled up the carpet today and noticed this access hole is looking pretty crusty. I don't believe this is related to the leak, but I hate seeing any rust on my truck and want to get it fixed properly. Has anyone dealt with similar rust? What's the access hole for? Hoping my reliable body shop can cut away the bad metal and weld in a patch.

    OUT OF IDEAS...FJ62 running rich.

    By WrenchMagnate

    I don't like being beaten by any piece of mechanical apparatus, but I am completely out of ideas. Condition: 3fe in FJ62 running rich ( light gray smoke with occasional black puff) in open loop and closed loop after the following: *Head gasket replacement (compression in the coolant). *New ignitor (random missing then total failure) *Refurb OEM fuel injectors and pigtails *New ECT sensor *New TPS (old one was sticky and would not mechanically return on its own) *New spark plugs (multiple...

    80 Series Brake Issue - Looking for Advice

    By brainhax

    Need some advice from the 80 Series gurus. When driving around 40-60 km/h and I hit the brakes hard, the vehicle doesn't stop as it should. The brake pedal goes almost all the way to the floor and I can still feel the Cruiser moving. However, if I pick up the speed and break hard on an empty road few times (2-3 times), 4th time onwards, the brake feels much much better. A bit of background: During a recent brake bleed, we accidentally let the reservoir run dry for a few... Read more

    FJ62 EGR Temp Sensor Connector

    By GRM

    Hoping for some help with my 2fe: This green with white stripe and brown with black stripe 2-wire connector inside my intake manifold fell down and melted on the header. In looking at the harness drawing, I believe these wires go to the EGR temperature sensor. My ECU is a 89661-60020, which is a federal 1988 FJ62 model. I need to fix this wire. When I let it flop around, it would ground out and cause the engine to stall at stop lights. Do the wires stay separate and disconnected? Or... Read more

    Another Mustang.......my 1969 coupe

    By JackA

    This car was my friend Brent's and he owned it for over 30 years. Unfortunately he passed from cancer in 2024. He wanted me to restore the 68 for his widow and keep this one for myself. The 68 is now being enjoyed by Betty in Illinois. Alot of this happened over the last 2 years while I restoring the 68. It was my side distraction. Here's the herd of projects as they amassed in my backyard. Spring of 2024.

    This years homework

    By REZARF

    I teach a basics automotive class for one of our local high schools here in Montana. Just two 45 minute elective classes a week (I am a preacher by trade). This years project/homework... A 1972 FJ55. Found it locally. I pulled over the first day it was on the side of the road with a for sale sign in it. The gentleman who owned it wanted more than I was willing to pay. I passed. It sat for sale for a few months before the owner lowered the price a bit, so I swung back by for a closer look... Read more

    Unsolveable Power Loss Problem

    By Seth_O

    1993, essentially intact with very few powertrain mods performed. I have an issue where it will randomly lose power while driving. Step on the gas pedal and....nothing. No response from the engine at all. It doesnt necessarily drop in RPM's to idle, but you get nothing from pressing the gas pedal. Usually it picks back up after a few seconds (sometimes minutes) and then acts like nothing ever happened. It first started many months ago, but happened only once every 5-10 drive cycles. It got...

    Arriving in Olancha

    By 65swb45

    Arriving in Olancha by Mark Algazy There is nothing quite like arriving in Olancha. At 9.A.M. On a Thursday. In December. First of all, it has probably been decades since any one associated the words 'arriving' and “Olancha' in the same sentence. Secondly, for those who only travel the blacktop, 9a.m in December ANYWHERE in the Eastern Sierra only conjurs up images of cold, blustering wind. Since I had not started out my latest adventure with... Read more

    Intro thread

    By HawkerJock

    94 FZJ80, acquired Jan 2026, PO started a front main, oil pump and distributor seal replacement and morphed into head gasket replacement and whatever.... Then life hit him, everything ended up in the back of the cruiser, moved to Colorado, got a girlfriend/married and his parents wanted the cruiser out of their driveway! I watched that cruiser sit there for 2 years, then had a weak moment. Today, it starts, sounds good for about 5-7 seconds then slowly dies. I've been a wall flower on... Read more

    FJ40 Cross-Country Expedition: Will YOU join us???

    By hecrod

    So here's the idea... originated by @sggoat , since signed on to by several others: We will create an FJ40 cross-country expedition--one that has Legs running from North to South, East to West and diagonally across the USA (and maybe Canada and Mexico as well?). This expedition will be of a relay format, with some relay portions completed by individuals, and others by groups. We also hope it becomes ever-green, with legs kicking off from time-to-time in years to come! Why do this... Read more

    FJ45 vs. Aqualu FJ45 Conversion for a Restomod Trail Rig — Looking for Input

    By LimitingFactor

    I'm starting to plan out a Land Cruiser project and would really appreciate some input from people who have built FJ45s, Aqualu bodies, or stretched 40-series chassis. For context Ive had 2 '79 40s and a '65 in various states of driving but mostly interested in a 45 for my next cruiser. The basic goal is not an all-original restoration. I'm much more interested in building a reliable, usable *restomod trail/expedition rig* that keeps the character but has updates running gear and... Read more

    1975 FJ40 Build in the FL Panhandle

    By FloridaPhillip

    I purchased my first FJ40 in Birmingham, AL a few weeks ago. This 1975 FJ40 has spent time in Texas, South Florida, Guatemala, Georgia, and Alabama before making its way back to Florida. It has rust in the usual places: front fenders, rear sill, and quarters. The frame looks pretty good from what I can see. I plan on driving it for a while before I really decide how much I want to take on with a light restoration. I'm excited to start on this adventure! And some pictures: ... Read more

    1963 FJ45LP Project

    By miller

    Picked this truck up in Montana. Its been a couple weeks, but tearing it apart pretty quick so thought I would start this build. My Dad and I drove his 6.4l Hemi Ram from WI to Helena MT to get this rig. Drove through Yellowstone on way home. What a great park! Truck is mostly complete. Rear bed needs work so that's where I’m going to start. Cab in pretty good shape. Needs rocker repairs and some box work behind main floor. Metal roof dented and gas some oil canning, but not rusted... Read more

    Melted relay block help

    By atm0706

    Hi, I'm the unfortunate new owner of a triple locked 1994 Land Cruiser with some electrical gremlins. I bought it on eBay as it was listed as a strong running truck, and the owner sent me lots of pics and videos of it driving. Unfortunately, when it arrived it would crank but wouldn't start and had to be winched off the transport truck and towed home. He conveniently left out all of the bad stuff from the photos i received and there's some issues. eBay is unwilling to help me out in any... Read more
