    Need batter to replace Sears Diehard Platinum 31M

    Everyone loves their AGMs, but if you have a stock electrical system it was designed and optimized for charging a flooded battery. No batteries I've had have lasted as long as the stock Toyota/Panasonic flooded batteries that came with Toyota SUV's in the 90s. I imagine battery quality has gone...

    Lx450 - thoughts?

    At this point, OEM lockers that have not been used in a number of years are pretty much worse than not having lockers at all. Without lockers, you can throw an ARB locker in and be done for relatively cheap. The OEM lockers will most likely at least require new/fixed motors which alone could...

    My slow battle against hatch rust

    I had one shipped from Texas as it was a lot easier to deal with that than to fix the rust! Toyota Land Cruiser Used Auto Parts Accessories | CruiserYard | Austin, Texas

    1993 380,000 miles Triple Locked

    I'd also say if you are driving it in the winter on salted roads, you are much better off with ARB (or nothing), those electric motors do not last long when driven on salty roads.

    1993 380,000 miles Triple Locked

    with that description, if it's not "extremely cheap" than it's not worth it. And it's only worth it then if you have the time and know how to attempt to bring it back to life.

    HDJ81 Inspection Troubles!

    If you just need a light, could you simply hack in an LED on the dash and use that? Put an ABS label beside it. Seems like you're asking for trouble taking apart the gauges, but it would look a lot better if you did it correctly.

    what to look for when buying super low mile cruiser

    This is key for me. You say 22k is your "limit" so if you need an extra few thousand in repairs (which almost any 20 year vehicle can require at any time) you will be well over your "limit"

    How long can you drive without oil cap?

    I once filled up some oil, closed my hood and didn't put my oil cap back on. I then drove 100kms to my girlfriends house. I then thought "hrmm, did I put the oil cap back on?" I opened the hood, there was a bit of an oil mess (not as bad as I was expecting) and the cap was still in the place I...

    Daily Driver 2000 4Runner from a 1997 LX450 Comfort?

    I went to a 2005 4Runner and I've had a 98 and 2000 in the past. As long as you aren't too big for the runner, you'll have no problems with it on road or mildly off road.. unless it's rusty.

    On the fence

    Should I buy an 80, costs of ownership? This is a worthwhile read. They are great trucks, but know what you are getting into.

    Fzj80 cruise control shutout while driving..HELP

    this has happened to me on several toyota trucks it was the brake pedal on my 80 and the clutch on my 4runner and tacoma The bushings are worn, so when the pedal is "resting" it's not all the way up and the sensor thinks it's engaged. The "fix" is to put your foot under the brake pedal and...

    Punch list for Turf-n-Surf 2016 & ARB drawer mods

    that seems like an odd bug, the scan gauge is just reporting what the ECU says, so is it possible the ECU has it wrong? I'd check with a different scan tool if possible. Full disclosure, a scan gauge showed me my alt was wired wrong and that my alt was dying on a different truck, the voltage...

    Thermal pictures of the Land Cruiser

    that FLIR stuff is great, when the price comes down it could do really well for helping avoid wild lift at night, a little heads up display and you'll see the moose long before he decides to run out in front of you.

    Time for a new winch

    If you are planning on driving your rig in the winter (salted roads) with your winch on it, you may want to consider a cheaper winch (or more maintenance) I suspect the guys running winches without issues for years do not have them sitting on the front of a truck that gets blasted with...

    Front inner wheel well skirting ideas?

    my mechanic suggested things we call up here "Crazy Carpets" that are used for sliding. Just a rolled up piece of plastic you could cut in the shape you wanted.

    My idea of CruiseControl

    This is really cool. I have a few Adruino boards I had planned on doing something with, but I'm sure whatever I do would not be this good. Excellent job.

    Should I let the 80s series common issues deter me from buying one?

    Luckily this question has been answered, if you read this entire thread, and still want the truck, buy it. Should I buy an 80, costs of ownership?
