WHYD to your Cruiser this week?

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

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

Just wrapping this up, a few loose end left but she's running and functional again. I bought the 2UZ kit from Elate, it took about 3 months to come in but was well worth the wait. Link to the current kit, you can also add the crossover water pipe which is modifed already to avoid welding aluminum if you're not set up for it or don't want to deal with finding someone who can do it for you.

2000 Land Cruiser, turning over just fine but will not start. New starter 25k miles ago. Have tried replacing the 20a fuse and installed the aftermarket relay many of you have used ( photo for reference ). Cant seem to figure it out, any obvious things to check ? Ive read through the forums and kind of lost as to where to start.

Hi everyone! I’m new to the forum and wanted to introduce myself. We’ve owned our Salsa Red Pearl 2008 Land Cruiser since new, and it now has approximately 217,000 miles. It’s Southern-owned, unmodified, and has been a wonderful vehicle for our family. Recent maintenance includes a new radiator and spark plugs, along with a newer $1,500 set of Michelin tires with approximately 10,000 miles on them. We’re preparing to sell it and would love to see it go to someone who appreciates Land... Read more

Back in August, I picked up my 2016 Blizzard Pearl on Terra Land Cruiser. It had 104,000 miles, was a Southern vehicle, bone stock aside from a Hamilton CarPlay unit, and looked like it had never touched dirt. I knew it was the one as soon as I saw it pop up, even though I wasn't technically in the market. I had to have it. While I am not new to Land Cruisers, at the time there was a void in the garage since life changes and investment opportunities made it a logical choice to sell three of... Read more

Hello, everyone! I am looking to upgrade the stereo head unit in my ‘97 FZJ80 Land Cruiser. I want something that is a touchscreen that has Apple CarPlay. That is the most important thing. I am very conflicted on whether or not I want a larger stereo that sticks out beyond the OEM space, or if I just want to find one that fits into the existing head unit space. One of my main complaints with the touchscreen radio that is in my rig already is that it’s from the mid 2000s… So the Bluetooth... Read more

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.

IH8MUD · captainbeefheart · 9 Nov 2026

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...

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. A little background on my J100: 1999 Toyota Land Cruiser UZJ100, 4.7L V8 (2UZ-FE), 4-speed automatic transmission, factory AHC suspension Currently 375,000 km (approximately 233,000 miles) Located in Switzerland, Europe Factory center differential lock...

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

Hey guys, I've been considering purchasing the Marline Crawler LCA frame brace kit for my 2015 LX570.

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...

We've been teasing our turbo kits for awhile now and they are finally available on the website! In this post I hope to answer most questions that we have been receiving over the last couple months since we started teasing this. It's going to be a long post so bear with me! First off for those of you that don't know me or our shop I'd like to introduce us. My name is Johnny Pryor, I am an owner of Cruisers and Company. We're a small Land Cruiser and Toyota 4wd shop based just north of... Read more

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

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

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

IH8MUD · musthave · 7 Nov 2026

We all use a variety of apps and devices in our 80 series, and perhaps with life in general. I’m interested in finding out which ones others are using while driving their Land Cruiser. Here are just a few that come to mind that I have/had. Hema, OnX, Osmand Maps, Apple Maps, Google maps, Wais. Then Scangauge, ultragauge, and maybe others? Life 360, or other similar apps?

IH8MUD · dchilds · 7 Nov 2026

I had an issue that a number of others are experiencing with their 100 series. Four out of six of my gauges worked only about 10% of the time. The rest of the time they were just dead. Research led me to believe that my stepper motors needed replacing. These are little "tomb-shaped" (black in color) motors that are soldered on to the circuit board behind the cluster. The motors look like this: I was not able to find any DIY material for a fix out on the net - only a couple of... Read more

I picked up a 76 TLC Fj40 about three years ago. Saw my 1st "40" up close when I was a kid. While sharing lunch with a fellow hunter I met, I commented on his "Jeep"...Well you get the picture. I got the lecture! The seed was planted and I picked the "red pill" shoulda' went with "blue". Fast forward thirty years later to North Africa, and I am driving a 10,000 pound, Up-armored Land Cruiser. Other than new tires every month or so, that machine was indestructible and despite it's...

This is the main reason I started this forum. So many people are asking me about Saudi Land Cruiser imports that I needed a landing page for all of the information. As of 5-31-2026, in partnership with @Meshal we have sold/imported 26 Land Cruisers. This partnership has been successful because I trust Meshal to get me the best Land Cruisers for our customers. Meshal is a designer by trade, not a used car person, however he’s a Land Cruiser fanatic first. Just like me, he loves these... Read more

Sorry for the long copy. We have a 2000 Land Cruiser with 337,000 miles. Always has run well. Just needed periodic batteries, tires, and oil changes. Did have to replace the trannie years back. Lately, it starting shaking at idle and under load, and the check engine light came on (solid). It threw off a misfire code on cylinder 3 and the fuel trims were way high (+19.5%). Took it to a garage and they, after inspection, would not touch it until they replaced the plugs, the #3 ignition... Read more

Hi Arizona Land Cruiser folk! I just fired up my build thread after driving my new-to-me 97' Land Cruiser from Phoenix/Prescott up to BC Canada early in the spring. I'm going to pull an excerpt from my build thread ( HERE , if you are interested): "Below, you will see my 1997 Land Cruiser: Desert Dune over Moon Mist, gold package, with ~215,000 miles and hopefully the start of a long-term project.
