Engine mount was bad. Replaced it and it has been fine since

Had a bad engine mount. Replaced it and it went away. It has been a couple years.

I have a Yaesu FTM 200DR/E under the driver seat but the speaker wasn’t loud enough from under there. I tried an external speaker from the local ham store but it wasn’t any better even if I had it on the center console. Decided to use the sub speaker in the center console to keep it clean and...

Just replaced the cracked sunroof trim on the LX. Repainted the gray ones since they are only available in that color. The clips were a pain to remove since the plastic was so brittle and broke like glass. Had to use a metal pic and a rubber wedge to protect the paint as I chipped the plastic...

Man it has been a while since I’ve been here. Too many things going on. Haven’t even driven the cruiser in all this time. I meant vibration in the cab. It happens when stopped with the shifter on “D” Engine idles at just over 650rpm and there are no engine codes. It happens pretty much...

Just came back from a trip to Death Valley and while airing up I always inspect the steering and suspension hardware. I noticed one of the axle side lower-arm nuts was missing. Luckily one of our friends had a random nut that fit. Is lock tite recommended when I replace the hardware?

Anybody figure it out? My lx450 runs smooth and idle is pretty steady at just over 650 but I get a vibration in the cab that vibrates the glove box and dash.

Nice. Yes, I was thinking I would have to get the drawer system and carry more stuff on the roof to make room. The wifie doesn’t like the idea of not being able to easily add the third row when we have family or nephews visit. The refrigerator also takes a lot of room but is needed.

Hey guys. Not sure this is the place to ask this but I have an 80 series land cruiser and we travel and camp with the wife and my two kids on car seats. We are looking to add a medium size dog to the family but I was looking at recommendations on where or how to transport him safely and...

I actually cut the Jeep part short. I dragged him way longer than needed just to mess with him. It was pretty funny. I did have a quick talk with the taco dude when we got to the highway. He was well aware of his mistake.

Rear brake job and headed for Big Bear. Had a great time with the fam and pulled my buddy’s Rubicon a couple times as he was trying to keep up. Late in the day we found a solo driver in a Tacoma Trd stranded on our steep climb out. We turned him around and lead them to an easier way out of the...

I had wet feet after rain. I checked the sunroof but ended up being the windshield. Had a company do it and I even showed them the manual on how it needed to be installed and they said yes no problem. Well, they didn’t do it as promised so I had to take it back and had them silicone the...

Haven’t been here for a while but today we took the cruiser to test drive it’s new shoes to our local mountain in SoCal. Loved the Nitto trailgrapppers but wanted to try something new. My options were KM3, nitto TG and MTR Kevlar. After tons of research I decided to go with another E rated...

I had the same issue with the wet floor and even after having a new windshield installed they didn't get it. I had them silicon the gasket on the outside and finally took care of it.

Haven't posted on Craigslist yet but I have a set of: TJM FZJ80 Land Cruiser/LX450 Shocks - XGS Tiger Adjustable (2" lift) $200 A local shop installed them on my truck a while back with a 4" lift and after driving it home I noticed they where the wrong length. They have probably less than 10...
