If anybody wants this, please send me an offer. I'd consider anything.

I bought a 94 with a swapped engine. The old engine is for sale. I will accept $200 for the engine or the best offer. When pulled it ran but lacked power and burned a lot of oil. I believe it has 220K on it. This is all the information I have. If you're interested, PM me but I can't...

The truck has been sold. Thanks for those few who showed interest. I will be back driving a Cruiser again!!

Truck has lived in GA, SC, and NC all its life. I can get pics of the undercarriage at some point. No known head work done and nor needed presently.

I bought this Rig in July with the purpose of getting it up for our family road trip to Houston over Thanksgiving. My plan was to make it into a trail rig after the trip, but we need to send our baby to daycare now and I can't afford to do so at this time. The truck has 187,XXX miles, but it...

I went back to our spot yesterday and was able to get through everything without using lockers, quite easily. After gaining more experience, I was even able to get through everything with no problem without locking the center diff, granted the terrain has dried up quite a bit over the last 8...

Thanks for the advice. As I continued on the trail I really got a good feel for where the wheels were and didn't have any trouble staying on my line. Once I got in the zone it was a great feeling. I will probably just use the rear locker from now on on tough obstacles and then engage the...

I did some light wheeling for the first time with the 80 last weekend. Shortly after getting on the trail I fell off one of my lines and kind of got stuck. At that point I turned the magic dial and moved on my way with no problems. The lockers worked like they were brand new!! I was...

My light is coming on all the time now. I put more oil in it and the dipstick reads beyond full now. I just got an oil change a month ago, so I'm not sure what is going on. I think I need a new sensor.

Yeah that definitely looks like it. The clamps were the biggest pain. We actually went with the screw clamps to make things easier next time. It's pretty tight quarters in there.

I just recently discovered a leak in my coolant system. There is a 3 inch rubber hose that connects two metal hoses in the rear of the engine bay which was leaking. I had to remove the starter to get to it, and while it was only 3 dollars in parts to fix it, it was not an easy job. If you...

It's a '97 Land Cruiser. I'd recommend if you have any trouble with your locks to get a new key right away. The locksmith said that having a lot of weight on your key while in the ignition also contributes to having it wear down over time.

Issue resolved!! I had been having trouble with my door locks and went to the dealer three weeks ago to have them cut me a new key using the VIN. Their key didn't work and I had them do it for me twice, with no luck. Well, it turns out both of the keys I was using had finally been...

Is the release a large white plastic button? I tried but didn't get anything, but I'll give it another go. The whole thing is frustrating for sure. I've begun removing pieces of the dash around the steering wheel to get a better look at the ignition. Hopefully it won't come to the point...

Thanks guys. I'm still trying but no luck. I figured elbow grease wasn't a substance but I'm pretty desperate. I'll keep you posted on how I get it worked out.
