Hi, guys, names Lee. I am looking at a 1992 FJ80 with 134,000, it is a 1 owner truck and it is really clean. The owner says that he has all records for maintenance since new, and that he just spent 2000.00 for ac repair and tires. He is asking 6500.00 for the truck. Is this too much for the...

Hello everyone, names Lee. I was hoping that I could pick the expert minds on IH8mud. I am looking at an 88 fj62 with 146,000 and am kind of on the fence about the deal. The truck looks and drives really good. There is absolutly no rust anywhere on the truck. This is a second owner truck...

I have a 1997 Landcruiser with 58,000 and I have tried seaching, but honestly I do not know what I am searching for. The problem started a couple of days ago. The truck will not start immediatly when the key is turned, no clicking or anything. The interior lights come on and the antenna goes...

I got it-it was not tight enough Thanks to everyone who post insightful information on this forum!! I am a newbie mechanic who is fascinated with learning how to wrench on my cruiser. Well, I changed my first set of belts today with the help of the search feature and the tons of useful info...

Well, I am almost done, however, I have reached a snag. When tightening the drive adjusting lock bolt, my belts are in the way of the bolt. Are they too tight? I used RacerLex's thread on replacement and it helped tremendously. When he shows the actual tightening of the lock bolt his 12mm...

Did a lot of searching but from what I can tell I might have got the wrong ac belt from the dealership. The new belt number is 99332-10865-83 , and this does not match the original. This is my first attempt at a belt replacement job so before I get in there I want to make sure I have the...

Thanks guys I put in the 2 gallons (8-quarts) and feel much better, thanks to all. Lee.

I am a total newbie wrench, but am wanting to learn to work on my cruiser myself. I just switched oil to Rotella Synthetic from wally world, the blue gallon 5w-40 jugs. My question to those who use the stuff is, how much did you put in your 80? I was thinking that 2 gallons measured...

so, I think I am going to have my local Toyota dealership order a new actuator for the rear door lock., it's not unlocking. How hard is this job going to be, has anyone done it? Thanks.

I just discovered that my rear passenger door on my 97 LC is not locking. I have the factory alarm system installed and It seems to be working fine-locking all of the other doors exept this one. I tried the search feature but was unable to find anything related. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the input guys! This is really an awesome forum, thanks again for the responses. Lee.

I searched the archives and have not been able to find anything about a key issue I have been having. Every once in a while my key will not release from the ignition until I put it back in drive then back in park again. Any ideas on what could be causing this? Thanks again for the help in...

Scoop I bought this truck a couple of days ago off of a small used car lot down the street-I live in North Houston. I tracked it down using autotrader.com and doing a local search for Landcruisr. Carfax was clean and verified one owner-a doctor from Lubbock, Tx. The whole truck is like new...
