Have you solved your reverse issue? My 97' LX450 with 261,000 is having the same exact issue. It too has no issues with reverse when in low range.

I left my 97' LX450 with my lady in Seattle. She was driving it yesterday and the battery gauge starting moving between halfway and pegged at 18. The orange ABS light came one, as did the red square warning light above the battery gauge. She parked it. She went to the rig this a.m. and the...

Thanks guys.

I bought two aftermarket radiators for my LX450 and my dad's 97'. Both have fittings that leak tranny fluid at the bottom. I'm stuck with them. On my dad's 97' my mechanic bypassed the tranny cooler in the radiator with no apparent ill-effects. He says that there is a separate tranny cooler...

Yakima, Washington (Don't know how to edit to place location in subject-Sorry) I have a used cylinder head from my father's 97' FZJ80 for sale. I am asking $500 or reasonable officer. The story: I couple years back, the head gasket went, so I had the head gone over by a local shop. it was...

Thanks man. I don't know why I couldn't find that.:whoops:

I just replaced the broken motor in my Dad's 1997 FZJ80. I would like to get anything up and above the $100 core that the junk yard will pay me. Details: The motor threw a rod through the block less then a month after having the head gasket replaced and head professionally rebuilt. I'm...

Disregard. My local guy reconnoitered it for me.

I found a, supposedly, 118,000 motor from a wrecked LX450 and am doing my due diligence before I take possession. Can someone run a CarFax on it to make sure the LX had the stated miles? Vin# JT6HJ88J2V0182035

Will the factory shocks work with a 2" lift?

Can I use the Land Cruiser shocks with the LX450 springs without ill effect? I was never keen on the way the LXs road...sloppy

My starter is acting up in the cold. The first turn of the key and it makes that horrible starter noise :mad: and doesn't turn the motor. The second time it turns and starts. This only happens when it is cold outside. I had this same issue on my old 97 Collector's edition and had the starter...

My 97' LX450 has 170,000 miles on it and it is time for new shocks. I'm considering a small lift, but was wondering could I get new shocks now and use the same shocks with a 2 inch lift? Which shocks should I go with.? 95% road use and 5% trail. Thanks in advance

My 97' LX450 has been making an intermittent whirling noise only when it is around freezing outside and when the vehicle is in motion. Sounds to me to be coming from the front passenger side somewhere. A passenger said she thought it was coming from the rear. It only last a few seconds at a...
