i live in south OC and go to mammoth often with the cruiser. Its great, but it is the dedicated camping offroad car, not the daily. I also have a kid on the way and i am glad i have something new that is safer. Not saying the LC isnt a tank, it absolutely is, just newer cars are safer than my...

did you track down the issue? I have the exact same issue and I know this is something recent. Right side brake light and reverse light do not work, no continuity at the sockets. Driver side (Left) does work. I was thinking a wire? but it seems odd both my brake light and reverse light are out...

Why? Because ive replaced 3 "factory toyota radiators" since owning this 100 series all due to small cracks in the plastic tanks. I wanted aluminum to combat this. I didnt buy it because of shiny parts... Im just trying to help people steer clear of my issue. I dont need you telling me my mod...

I purchased a Mishimoto aluminum radiator for my 100 series vehicle less than two years ago, thinking it would be a reliable upgrade. Unfortunately, I discovered a pinhole leak at the back of the radiator recently, clearly a factory defect. Given Mishimoto's lifetime warranty and the direct...

I upgraded just the negative on the starting battery and left the positive oem since it had that fuse box. My auxiliary battery has both the positive and negative terminals I posted above. I will say, my positive lead could use replacing, ive never liked how thin and pliable it is.

im at 220k right now, id like to take a peak at that bible stack worth of parts replaced and compare it with mine lol

maintenance and parts are expensive, dont use NAPA and autozone parts, use Toyota. Drive it for a year or 2 to figure out what needs to be fixed and replaced, then modify. Nothing is cheap for land cruisers. I spent almost $200 on a rearview mirror fix, when most cars would have been about $20...

I replaced my terminals about a year ago with these. They are very well built and much more robust and easier to install/remove than OEM.

I thought the same thing originally. relay is brand new, starter is damn near brand new, terminals are fine. Sounds like its a wiring issue at the starter, I posted my mechanics response a few moments ago.

Updating this as I just got a text from my mechanic. Sounds like I have a wiring issue at the starter. I wonder how the cables got messed up. "Before tearing it apart I did confirm the issue is somewhere with the wiring right at the starter. When it does the problem I grab at the bracket where...

Exactly, not getting any crank. All I hear is the relay click when I turn the key. Still haven't heard back from my mechanic yet, I did share with him the immobilizer thread incase that was the issue, but still no response. He told me he would make my issue his priority, so hopefully I hear...

Im having the same issue with my 100 series except I hear a click when turning the key everytime. Maybe try a new starter relay. I just tried a new one but it didnt fix my issue, still hunting down my problem. Good luck

I'll keep you posted on what my mechanic finds.

AAA just got here and I decided to try to turn it over one more time and it cranks and fires up no problem. I’m now driving to the mechanic. Now I’m really stumped.
