SO my LX450 sunroof seems to be leaking and appears it is because of the switches. The tilt switch doesnt work but operates using the open close button. However, when you hold the close button it will close but then tilt open. To close it back you have to use the open side of the switch to...

2nd row seat if in good condition shipped to 32327?

What length are these bolts. I am in the same situation as well and need to pick up all the bolts for my second row seating on my 1991 LC

I am in the process of repairing the parking brake on my 91 LC and in the process of servicing the brakes. Upon inspection the cable end u brackets on both sides have rusted clean through. I was able to find a raybestos cable to replace and a decent price from parts geek but now i am onto the...

Help is always appreciated. This is the first time that i have pulled a motor from a newer cruiser. I have to say i miss my fj40 in that regard. I could have the entire clip off and radiator in like 1 hour. The 80 has alot more things going on like AC and trans cooler lines to deal with. I...

I was just trying to remove the upper on it own. I removed all 9 bolts that hold it to the intake manifold and the front and rear intake stays that attach to the air intake and it would not budge. I agree that i am either missing something or the previous owner decided to use marine grade...

So after thinking about it more I am going to pull the motor and just replace with another 3fe. I was able to get it cheap at $900 which includes shipping from across the country. It only has 116k on the motor and came out of another 91 the was in an accident. Nice part it is complete in that...

I actually did try a dead blow to try and break it loose after removing the bolts. It didn't budge. I was worried about cracking the intake. Even tried pulling on the intake but the entire car was shaking as i was pulling which is what makes me think there was another bolt besides the ones to...

Can anyone help me out with the tricks to remove the air intake chamber. I have tried looking at the 3fe repair manual and it is no help. For Sale - 40, 50, 60, and 80 series FSM for a hell of a price. I have noticed that it seems to have been removed before as there is blue gasket material...

Did a compression test and confirmed head gasket. 120-125 on all cylinders roughly except 1 at 135 psi (Cold). Had coolant shooting out of cylinder 5 and could hear air coming out of the coolant reservoir. Which leads to the question are there any tricks to getting the air intake of after...

So I was lucky enough to be given a 1991 landcruiser from a friend. The bad news is that it has a head gasket issue and has been sitting for 2 years. I was able to wrench on it and get it fired up and the motor runs like a champ. The down side is the large amount of sweet smelling white smoke...

So I am looking at doing the same swap, and currently have a 1995 TBI GM 350 in the cruiser. My question is can I use the flywheel from my gasser on the diesel or do I need to buy a new flywheel.

I just came across you cruiser for the first time and I must say that it is the best mix of new and old that I have seen. You have a fine vehicle. I would love to see some video of this truck running and the pop up camper in action. Do you think you could post one on YouTube?
