Next morning headed home. Stopped at the Eureka Lodge for some pie. As we got out I noticed a hot smell and smoke coming from the rear wheels. Both sides where spitting brake fluid and the axle/wheels where very hot. Didn’t realize that the...
It’s mostly together ready for driving. Just need to finish the interior electrical. Need a wash. In front of the ARB car oppressor goes the CC servo from an 80 series.
Bought some presents for the troopy, fully committed to this nonsense now. I'll likely spin up a thread at some point soon just to document the swap as its both motor and trans (t-case is staying with the adapter). 1FZ-F and H150 for sale soon...
Ok swap time. I again am really bad at taking photos during stuff, usually just post stuff to instagram if anything, (same name on there @71harrison come hang). For this I'm just going to write down the top of mind important bits I learned for...
I really wish I had bought my Troopy, Wanda, without an engine. I have had so many issues because nothing was ever done right by the previous owners. I am sure I could have easily bought a brand new engine by now... Then it would be new, or at...
I’ve officially sold my truck.
Thanks to everyone who shared their thoughts—both the good and the bad. I know it wasn’t perfect, but it carried a lot of great memories with it.
Appreciate the ride, and the journey.
Much love,
Love #Jesus! 🚘🙏
I think I am posting in the right place. Just bought and older 100 series after been driving a 1st Gen Sequoia for a many years. Shaking out some issues with this thing. Have always been on this forum but never made an account, I guess now is the...

My appreciation for the 100-series has really grown over the last few years. It's truly a pleasure to drive—comfortable, capable, and with fantastic visibility. While the 80-series had always been my favorite Land Cruiser platform, the 100 has a...
I’m thinking about selling my complete engine and transmission out of my 1992 HDJ81. 1HD-T with auto transmission. I’m keeping the transfer case. But will sell engine, transmission, fuel lines, full 3 inch exhaust, 24v system, and other little...
Finally got the new hood swapped over after getting it blasted and painted, went with the cascadia solar panel as a blackout/battery tender. New moldings, bumpers, wiper plumbing, etc. Very happy with the switch to a mist type nozzle vs. the oem...
Built a loom for the TCC bumper lights. Spliced into the taillight instead of the trailer wiring. Now to repeat on the other side.
Wiring is a lot more enjoyable when you have a tailgate to work on, not at a weird angle and have the right tools...
Hey - I have two brand new transfer case shifter bases needed for Torfab's LT V8 conversion into a 95-97 80. I decided not to do a V8 swap on my 80. I had procured two by accident because I'm a little slow. You only need one. $100 each shipped...
I've had my 06 for almost four months now. Just finding time to get started.
Took the running boards off (at wife's request!)
Replaced all four door speakers with Infinity speakers (reference separates in front, regular coax in the rear)
Treated...
