Hello, it has been some time since I have posted in IH8Mud. Miss the forum! My wife was driving our 2000 Toyota Landcruiser (260k miles) and it randomly stopped mid-drive and started making a loud groaning sound. She pulled over and mentioned she was unable to put the car in park. If she moved...

Update: I had the truck towed to Ryan Baxom's shop Otramm in Warrenton, VA. As most of you also suggested, he mentioned I did not need a dizzy or header. Also said a guy he knows does great exhaust work and can have it installed for $400.

thanks for the recommendation. So no need for a header either?

Hey all, I have had my engine re-built 3 times due to a blown head-gasket each time. They finally were able to address the issue but ever since then my truck has not been the same. It is extremely slow uphills and the car acts as if it is overheated after 30 minutes of driving. When idling, it...

Hey guys, I am looking to move the tires out a bit further on my landcruiser. I currently have 33X10.50R-15 BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain tires on the truck with a suspension lift. My mechanic said it's not possible to do spacers because of the currrent wheels. Can anyone assist me in how I can put...

Thanks for the help, Jim. I talked with my mechanic and shared your advice. Everything you listed has been checked and fixed. Any other ideas??

Hey guys- My MINT FJ60, which has 117k original miles on it, blew a headgasket about a year ago. The engine was rebuilt and within 2 weeks, the headgasket blew again. Mechanic told me it was a bad radiator so we replaced it. A week after getting it fixed, I blew another headgasket. My mechanic...
