Thank you for the help and recommendation!

Hahah sorry I do realize I should have used a different word to describe the sound. It’s more like a clinking sound. It started recently and I can pinpoint where underneath the car it’s coming from as I haven’t made recent changes or fixes to anything.

Alright guys, I’ve been having this weird sound underneath the car every now and then when I’m going slow. I thought it might be a buried join issue but it doesn’t always happen when I turn the wheels sharply and there’s no leaks by the wheels. It also happens sometimes when I drive straight...

Yep, pretty rusted. And since it is upstream, it is more expensive than downstream. Would you recommend the fix?

Thank you for this! I’ve heard this drain works great and in most of the videos I’ve watched it is highly recommended. Should I drain the radiator and engine block before putting in the thermocure and then drain again before putting water and distilled water in?

Thank you for the insight on this. It’s good to hear this from people who know Landcruiser well. Every shop I’ve taken her to turns me away immediately because they are afraid of the work and also just don’t know how the 89 series are made. The trans pan has a pool of fluid/oil underneath...

Just ordered a multi meter off Amazon. Is there a good cheap OBD II scanner you’d recommend as well? I took a look at the 02 sensors and everything seems intact except for the downstream denso which is held in by clamps. I have feeling that might need to be fixed! Going to turn my Saturday...

Good morning everyone, Just joined the forum after recently purchasing my 1996 FZJ80 non-triple locking cruiser with 297,000+ miles on it. Loved the car so much after test driving it and just had to complete the purchase. Finding out there are some leaks that need to be tended to! The check...
