This is going to be an expensive learning experience, the engine dilemna, then suspension parts, brakes, tires.......Thinking he should get a safe beater sedan, and you go a different direction with the LC. As @JimSoCal stated above, only you...

I’m a fan of the OE rims. The 16” ones on the early 100s in particular are functional and so cheap they’re practically disposable, but they don’t need to look that way. I scored some on FBM for next to nothing, but they were covered in...

same. had shop install Toyota ujoints I purchased, as I hacked it in my attempt. Was not satisfied in driveline feel after this install. New Toyota shafts solved the problem. At 400k, heck, who can complain that the rig wants new shafts...

i added some heavy wire mesh to this area on mine. it's bolted in. no, it won't stop theft, but the idea is to just make it harder for the scumbags

25 years. 444,444 miles Say you get 15mpg average over the life with the Cruiser. That is 29,629 gallons of gas. Figure the average for gas prices over the past 25 years to be right at $3/gallon. (AI gave me nothing) It has taken roughly...

Hey everyone. I've mostly lurked for the past several months, but now I have a rig of my own. I'm mostly a Euro guy (Audi, etc) and have never really had a truck or SUV. I wanted a 100 series, preferably a LX470 because I used to have an LS430...

I believe I have finally figured out the problem. I installed the new oil seal too deep into the differential tube and that caused the leak. Took picture of the new seal and added captions to it. It may help someone in future doing this job.

brought my Dad with me to drive her over 500,000k, he’s very proud of her to say the least. Here’s his 200 series with matching plates!

Rare photo of full gas tank, lol.

I built this with 3/4" plywood, a 6' piano hinge cut in half, d-rings, and indoor/outdoor carpet, all from Home Depot. The aluminum angle was from another project, also from HD. And the adjustable legs and turnbuckles were from Amazon. I use...

Today I did the upper control arms on the front, and the front shocks. Per usual drivers side took 2 hrs, passenger took 1 hr. Now she only rattles on the back half!

Hub bearings serviced, proper preload completed, engine oil service completed, buttoned up and proceeded to roll another 2200 miles over six days last week. Now at 443k. Love checking the dipstick and the oil is still clear with no consumption...
