Has anyone used stock Toyota parts to get from a 3UZ to an R150? I know there are adapters, but Toyota usually has a decent amount of swap around potential between motors, bellhousings, and transmissions. Daydreaming about a future build for my boy and I.

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!...

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

I have a 77 Toyota FJ40 that has been sitting for over 30 years. It’s a California-spec FJ40, and I’m currently working through the electrical system. I’ve managed to get just about everything working except for a couple of issues with the headlights. The driver-side turn signal will blink once and then stop, and the headlights only seem to work on high beams. I have thoroughly inspected all the wiring to the best of my knowledge. Has anyone experienced something similar or have suggestions... Read more

Hello all. I'm a new GX460 owner. Picked up this 2019 earlier in the year as a project. I've done a few things to it so far. It has a Dobinson's lift, Method bead grip wheels, Mickey Thompson Baja Boss AT tires, Garmin power switch, KC lights, Prinsu pro rack, a Roam 83L box, and I put a DC to DC alternator charger in it as well. Installing a Victory 4X4 evo bumper this weekend. I've always owned Toyota trucks and sold a Tundra I had since 2012 and figured I'd try the Lexus for a... Read more

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

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

This thread is for V8 swaps to 80 Series Toyota Land Cruisers. Your truck frame must start with the following: FJ80-0xxxxxx or FZJ80-0xxxxxx. Of course, it can also start with an HDJ/HZJ iteration. Only the Aussies yank out perfectly good Toyota diesel engines to swap V8 power into them... Oh and our friends in the ME as well. Your frame number will always be on the RH side of your truck, on the frame, right near your front RH shock. Please post direct links to your build thread... Read more

Went to the Toyota showroom today. Was able to snap quite a few pictures of the new 300 series. Didn't take anything for a test drive, but both floor models were the 4.0L V6, not the 3.5L twin turbo. Of note on the specs page on the twin turbo: 9.3km/L equals out to about 21.9 mpg.

Before writing this post I have searched the internet for days and ih8mud site deeply for any technical reviews of how to remove the steering rack on 200 series with a 2uz v8 engine. I have seen some comments where people say that in the Toyota manual the first step is to remove the engine!!!! Linuxgod has gratefully supported me by sending me the link to the 40GB repair manual bit I tried more than once and it didn't work for me. I have spent the whole weekend and still no luck on getting... Read more
