I am struggling finding wheels for my FJ. It has drum brakes all the way around I’ve had two different sets of wheels that people said it would work on it and did not. I purchased a third set the allegedly come off of an FJ 40 with drum brakes. Can you tell me if these wheels will work pictures are attached. I’m only concerned about the mounting surface.

So in my endless quests to resolve vehicle vibrations, months back I pulled my front and rear drivelines to replace the u-Joints. Now when I did this, the front and rear drivelines were phased together. The flanges matched front and rear, and I've since confirmed this via IH8MUD searches. After completing the new u-joint installation, I still had vibrations. I ended up pulling the front driveline to see if I could confirm if it was coming from the front or the rear. I engaged the center diff... Read more

Why not? There is a thread in all of the other sections. Post pics if you got them. Me? I put in weathertechs this week, gave it a good wash and detail, and I bought some Novus plastic polish that I am going to use to clean up the PO's scratches all over the wood grain--center console, shifter, steering wheel, etc.

PO installed Magnaflow and exhaust on my new to me 2009 LX. I know a folks like this set up, it’s just too loud for my liking. Has anyone had any experience with tips or silencers? I found a OEM exhaust on Marketplace for $130. Might just go this route.

Is there any interest in starting a thread to share 40 series spotted out on the road? Every now and then, you catch one. Out on the dirt or rattling down some two-lane highway. A 40 series. Not on a trailer. Not behind glass or rusting away out in a field, but out doing what it was built to do. If you happen to see one out there under it’s own power, let’s see it and hear about the journey! Bonus points if you spot one through the bug-splattered windshield of your own Cruiser (be safe!)...

This guy showed up today. Normally a Cruiser getting dropped off at the shop is pretty normal around here but today was on day after me buying a 200 series and my wife thought I had completely lost my mind. Luckily the new owner, @Kaderabek is family and it was quickly confirmed that I had not just bought a second Land Cruiser in 24 hours.

I’m Adam from Iowa. Just picked up a 1969 about a week ago still trying to get her running. A little rattle can paint job for now.

Hello all, as I’m stripping down my 74 fj40 for a rebuild I’m shopping around parts and trying to decide details. I’m looking for a final result of an aggressive stance (that doesn’t mean tall) on 33’s I think. I’m on a budget so can’t go all out on a full on setup. I did however find a front and rear set of emu springs brand new never installed for $500. I’ve read they dont give much lift. Cs001f/r I’ve also read about and thought about doing a shackle reversal. My questions are. Are... Read more

Howdy all! I've been looking to install Terrain Tamer rear parabolic springs on my HJ45 Pickup Truck. Can't find a part number or anything. Anyone done this? Will springs for another LC model work by changing the spring hangers? The setup I am looking at would be rear Terrain Tamer parabolic springs, front Terrain Tamer or OME springs. For shocks, I am leaning heavily towards OME BP51s Thanks!

Back in August I ordered rear disk brackets and rotors for my 76. Card was charged, shipping # received, est delivery Sept 3. Never showed up, UPS says they never received the order. Sent JTO an inquiry on their "customer support" board. Never got a response. Now it is a month after the order placed. I left a new message on their board to just cancel my order and refund my charge card. How can a company survive being like this?

Genuine Toyota Parts and Accessories: Official Online Store Serra Toyota of Decatur Sales happen 3 to 6 times a year. They've lasted ,1 to 2 weeks generally. Eric at Toyota of Decatur. Is the only Toyota parts guy I know of, that takes the time to repack. Even front drive shafts (CV) and rack & pinions come undamaged. Looks like I need to make room for more parts!...

Hi all, I am new to the site and I'm considering buying either an HZJ80 or HDJ80 LHD and importing to the US. Admittedly, I suck at using the search function, but I'm surprised that I've been unable to find a breakdown of the differences - good and bad - between the 1HZ and the 1HD-T engines. In an effort to educate myself (and others), I'd like to solicit the opinions of all crusty, old, curmudgeons on the vices and virtues of each engine. What do people like about one and not the other... Read more

That's right we got another one. Figured I should break into the mid-late 100 series model years to be able to develop products for them and test fitment etc. This one will primarily serve as the wife's DD but will also be a sleeper build. So far I've baselined it (see list) but will be upgrading things as time allows. 184,000 miles with some rust, a terrible paint job (looks good from 10 feet), horrible body work and a whole host of other problems. Perfect. Paid $5,800 for it which was... Read more

If this isn’t allowed, let me know. New to this. A Land Cruiser has been a dream of mine for a while now. Neighbor has a sweet FJ62 with turbo diesel. But he convinced me an 80 series was the move for a first LC, especially with my family. So here I am! My “issue” is I currently drive a 15 Tundra with 90k miles. We already have a family vehicle and I can’t justify owning 3 cars at the moment. The truck is mainly used for hauling and hunting (multiple deer/elk a year). Only tows a raft... Read more

Yeti, my 2007 LX470 with the original halogen projector headlights needs an upgrade since it’s 2026, almost 27. The factory lenses are still clear and in excellent condition, but I’m looking to improve nighttime visibility while maintaining as close to an OEM appearance as possible. I’ve narrowed my research to two options: TEQ Customs: OEM+ bi-LED projector retrofit, starting around $500. Appears to retain the factory appearance and offers modern LED performance. Lightwerkz...

After years of searching I finally landed an OEM rear axle with a locker! Unit is claimed to have 282k and a bad pinion bearing. The axle is all I have. Going into this I knew I was going to need a matching 4.30 front diff and some sort of a harness but I'm learning there is a bit more to it than that. I'm starting this thread to document what it takes. I want it to function in a factory manner but it doesn't need to be 100% OEM parts-wise as long as it works correctly. My... Read more

I'm planning on replacing my carpet this spring once it gets a bit warmer outside. I was planning on using the carpet from @tupelohoney with standard backing, since the mass backing is less pliable for install. While I'm at it, I'll take off the door cards to repair the speakers. This will be my opportunity for sound deadening. Does anyone have head-to-head comparisons of the brands? (Dynamat vs Kilmat vs Siless vs Soundskins)? Any consensus on recommendations? What mil for floor vs... Read more

The thread “There And Back Again...” is the history of my rig, and so now separately, moving forward, this will be the thread with what’s going on currently, or rather, new history. ATM, I’m trying to check off a huge number of needed repairs in order to hopefully make the Pig Party 2018. My family and I just got back from a week vacation in Maui, so now that the post vacation vacuum is now here, I can give the Cruiser some attention. Thankfully, I took off another week from work!

Since the U.S. spec 2UZ 1998-2002 charcoal canister has been delisted (NLA/disco - 77740-60390) I've decided to look into some retrofit options or working to figure out if there's a way to simplify the evap system to allow for re-fillable canisters to be used. The main issue with the 98-02 design is the ECU. Toyota baked the vapor pressure sensor readings into the code to run the engine which means the vehicle throws a CEL if the pressure readings are different from expected. This is all... Read more

I finally pulled the trigger on a 2013 200 series, so pumped! Anyway, the second major mod I'm looking to buy is a head unit supplement to allow for carplay. I've got Carpuride 103W, but I'm not crazy about another screen sitting on top of the dash.. I'd like to keep the OEM screen if possible. Sounds like there are a few options out there, one of them being the Hamilton Motor Co Apple Car Play Conversion Kit: 2008-2015 Toyota Land Cruiser Apple Carplay Conversion Kit There's also...

Gents, I've learned a ton from this forum and will be doing some scheduled maintenance items on my rig in the next few weeks as it approaches 100k on the odo. I am planning on changing my accessory belt, tensioner, idler, PCV valve, do another coolant change at/near the 100k mark. No fluids are due otherwise and I'm changing the coolant as yet another OCD measure of trying to protect my precious head gasket. I have not noticed any leaks, but my paranoid self is thinking my coolant... Read more

After having had this rad little truck for about a year now, tinkering and lurking on the forums trying to scavenge any info of people building these out, i figured I should share the journey of my build too! The truck is a 1998 Dyna 150 / Toyoace LY161 with the 2.8l 3L N/A Diesel Picked it up from a dealer/importer that put a lot of work into freshening it all up, lifting it 2" via torsion bar lift and blocks in the rear, and added new tires KO2 30x9.5 Photos from the port...
