    Toyota Land Cruiser Heritage Parts Program Discussion

    By Pitter Patter

    In January 2020, Toyota began the Heritage Program to begin production of no longer available parts for the A70 and A80 Supra. In July 2020, Toyota added the 2000GT to the list of vehicles with parts production support through the Heritage Program. Earlier today I made my frequent parts order call to my local dealership to get the common response, "part # XXXXX-XXXXX that you want to purchase is NLA". I'm a resourceful guy just like everyone on this site and I can do a lot to revive old... Read more

    Rewind: FJ45 Rebuild, Lessons Learned and Stuff

    By chacoetaco

    It’s been a long and winding road returning my never-running 65 Fj45 to a drivable rig. I thought I would do a recap, especially after abandoning the rebuild post years ago, with a new post of lessons learned and other ramblings. Recap I see my first 45 while visiting my Uncle’s ranch located on the eastern edge of central Nevada, summer 1995. Over the few days I was staying at his remote ranch I took a few minutes to look it over. Badging says “Toyota” and “Land Cruiser,” but that... Read more

    By ado073

    hey everyone, have just become proud owner of a 1984 BJ42 LX. need to get the heater working for registration. coolant flow to the heater core was disconnected when I bought the vehicle so I suspect the core needs replacement. in order to test it, i'm trying to get the heater box out. I've disconnected everything from the heater box and undone the bolts holding it to the firewall. heater box is no sitting in the vehicle but I can't physically remove it without removing the factory AC...

    The Wall of Shame

    By 65swb45

    I have a spot inside the front door of the shop dedicated to preserving the memories of some of the worst things I've come across in 32 years of wrenching on Cruisers. Occasionally they find their way onto the forum, and in fact several of them ended up in a little seen thread in the 45 forum a while back. IMO it's about time that these 'jewels' had their moment in the sun. To keep it tech, contributions should include a guess (if the real reason is not known) why the part is the way it is...

    1999 UZJ100 – First and Probably Only Body-Off Restoration. What Would You Inspect or Replace?

    By Brummel

    Hi everyone, I’m reaching out to the experienced 100 Series owners here on IH8MUD, hoping to benefit from your knowledge before undertaking what will probably be the first and only body-off restoration of my Land Cruiser.

    Best Fuel Pressure Test Kit Besides SSTs, for 2UZFEs.

    By TET1

    Does anyone have a good fuel pressure test kit recommendation (besides the extremely expensive SSTs)? Or links to adapters or what not that can play nicely with generic test kits? I've been looking online everywhere and I'm just not sure what to use. This is for the 2UZFE, which I'm sure you all know doesn't have a built in pressure test port, so you have to remove the driver's side banjo bolt near the throttle body, and then screw in an adapter in order to test.

    1HZ-T noise on startup (exhaust, alternator, fan clutch?)

    By Diesel80WA

    Hi Guys, long time lurker and 20 year owner of an 80 series diesel. I thought this might be the time to contribute something that has me stumped, possibly will help others. I have a noise I am not familiar with and would like to resolve. I believe its external to the engine, it happens on cold starts only and lasts about 1-2 mins if it is cold. When everything has warmed up, noise goes, sounds like a 1HZ and drives normally, revs normally. Is this a grinding alternator, fan clutch or... Read more

    Official LX570s Picture Thread

    By cc93cruiser

    Yes I know there is a 200 series picture thread, and naturally this covers both the Land Cruiser and the LX 200 series cruisers.. I thought it would be cool if we started a LX picture thread since most of the pics on the 200 series pic thread are of the LC.. I am having a hard time finding pics of LXs, for every 10 pics 1 is an LX...So come on fellow LX owners, post up stock/modded/wheeling/mall cruising/ urban wheeling pics, ha.. We all know the LX is the pinnacle of the 200 series, so... Read more

    Advice on rust repair

    By steveola

    Hi everyone. It’s been a long time since I was here. I’ve finally got to a point where I can get started on my 79 FJ40. I have most of the body panels I need I think. I plan on replacing floorboards, rockers and quarters. I’m thinking rockers first and working my way back. After bracing the existing body first. I have a complete front floor from TROA and a complete rear floor from Cool Cruisers. I’m thinking I’ll just patch the front by using big pieces of the complete front floor. I’d like... Read more

    I am having trouble finding an FSM with the entire AT section. I can only find pages 1-2, I am assuming there is more than this? I’m specifically looking for adjustments to the kick-down cable. I would really appreciate your help! Thank you.

    My first '40 and the venture

    By OlYellr

    I decided it would be best to start my own thread vs blasting “What have you done…” with everything I do. I’m more comfortable to elaborate here. This is my first LC (1980 – January 1980 build) and my first experience working on a car like this (Engineer who works behind a desk). I’ve owned this rig for about 18 months or so and some stuff has been done by me before I started this thread. Some point I will backfill the historical events. Right now, the thread will start where things sit... Read more

    New member in Denver — meet Silvy - 2009 LX 570

    By klausLX

    Hey everyone! Long time lurker, first time poster. After several months of quietly reading IH8MUD, I finally joined and I’m excited to introduce Silvy, my 2009 Lexus LX 570. I grew up in a Toyota family and have loved Land Cruisers since I was a kid. For the last six years, I drove a Subaru Crosstrek. It was great when it was just me and my dog, but now that it’s my wife, me, and our two dogs, we were using every square inch for camping trips, winter adventures, and road trips. That... Read more

    Replacing rear diff in an 07 GX470

    By eternalwarrior

    Hello all! I'm the excited (first time) owner of a new old 2007 GX470. I've never owned a 4x4 before and would describe myself as "mechanically interested" but a complete n00b. I enjoy reading up and learning, but I can't do much work myself and certainly don't know all the considerations that go into making parts/configuration choices. I purchased this 470 knowing the rear differential was almost certainly shot. I was able to confirm it with a local mechanic yesterday. I've seen these... Read more

    2026 Cruiser Build Thread.. I'm Back!

    By jrmudder92

    As many of you know, I’m not new to the Land Cruiser game; this is actually number 7 in my collection. Looking back on my ownership, I realize how blessed I’ve been to have had so many truly badass Land Cruisers. Each one came with its own love-hate relationship, but every single one left its mark. You can check my signature for the other build threads, and below are some pictures of my previous rigs. I was lucky enough to have my first car at 16, a 1985 FJ-60 Land Cruiser, and I was...

    Your FJ40's Birthday???

    By Dirt Dauber Matt

    I have gathered information from various sources and used some calculations to estimate the most probable birthday of an FJ40 (month, day, and year). While I can't guarantee complete accuracy, I believe that my research and calculations are accurate to within a day or so. Because of fluctuation of production numbers and few other factors some months are more accurate than others. If you're interested in finding out your FJ40's most likely birthday, feel free to send me your VIN# or a... Read more

    Colonel Mustard Revival

    By trevor philipps

    Well, it's about time I start a build thread, I have mostly stuck to a few one off posts on some things that were installed or fixed, and asking a few questions here and there. I have both a 60 and an 80, with the 80 more recently taking up my time as I made it road worthy. If you search my post history you can see some of my work, nothing special, but also somewhat interesting. Now, I'm finally taking on this roof removal and rust abatement project. I feel like it's finally time I can... Read more

    Intermittent electrical power issue on my daughters 2008 v6

    By WannaCruise

    Hello all, I have a very odd situation where my daughters 2008 4Runner lost all electrical power when we tried to start the car. Not dead battery power loss, it was 100% total loss as if I had pulled the battery cable... No interior lights, etc. A few minutes later the lights came back on, but when I tried to start the car it died again without ever engaging the starter. The clock was reset so the car lost all power for a moment... This happened 2 more time and then it worked just... Read more

    Wimberosa's build: Loretta dances again

    By wimberosa

    Well.... I've been hesitant to create a build thread on this 40 because I knew it was going to take me years of slow increments. Recently I've found myself with a proper shop and time to commit to it....so I've decided to up the ante and document it. This is a May 1979 build date. I picked this 40 up in 2017 and its been under sheds...in storage...and finally now in my newish shop. It has rust cancer out the wazoo and originally I intended to install a Teseven tub (there are a bunch of... Read more
