Just wanted to pass this along as it's harder to find 80s that are not rust buckets. This one is in need of tlc. I didn't see a forum that listed cars for sale. If I'm just blind I'm sorry and op please move. 1991 Toyota LandCruiser 80 series

You ever find the cause of that sound. Sounds Exactly how my 91 sounds. Would love to find a possible cure before I expend a ton of $$ that I do not have. Thanks

I'll be under the hood later.. I'm positive its in the block somewhere. Hoping it's not a rod but we shall see.

No. I'd have cried since I replaced the power steering and Brake booster a month ago :) No. everything kept. Never died just power loss and bang bang bang from the engine.

I had same thing Bubba01 described. The window falls out motor bracket. reglued it in, all my problems with that window went away.

Definitely not a belt. I was thinking it was top end as well. Only concern I had was if pushrod belt, what else gets damaged and I forgot to add that when It bangs it has crap for power. When it died in the freeway bang bang bang and crap power that's when I figured the engine blew. Is...

Was driving down the freeway then it started knocking. Had a few choice words and pulled off the road and had my 91 towed home. This is what it's doing and I an not familiar with what exactly failed with this sound as its not exactly repetitive. Anyone got an idea and how to physically...

And now this is 2+ years old and it is helping me today.. Now I know what Relay I need to go buy :) Hope this helps others :)

eBay This is the unit I purchased. Eonan quadcore unit. I had to get them to give me a firmware update to fix Bluetooth audio and upgrade from 4.4.4 to 4.4.42 Really happy with unit. I will probably flash a custom rooted rom though since I'm never happy with stock. Still highly recommend. If...

I figured I'd spend 100-150 on a double din deck. Why not spend 200 for awesomeness :)

Had to share my upgrade on my 91. When I got the lc the previous/previous owner( because the previous owner did absolutely nothing to it or even drive it) worked at a audio store and had custom radio all over it. Custom dual 6x9s in the doors etc. Well when I got it. All that was there was...

Had my own brake issue as well and just replaced my booster last night. Yes would be nice if I had smaller hands. I bolt on the top inside left didn't make it yet due to fat hands but rest were cake and the whole job not cracking any brake lines was about an hour. Easy. Night and day change...

You get what you pay for. Unless you know a shop in TJ :)

I believe all LC 80s are all time 4x4. I know mine is. If you see a yellow light that looks like a frame with 4 wheels on the dashboard while in H. You don't want to be on dry pavement or you will have bad things happen. That's the CDL light. CDL <- click for info Hope this helps :)...

Normal driving in H. Neutral will let your vehicle roll down a hill and crash into something. So don't leave it in there and not be in the car. Low for when you are climbing out of a ditch Hope my basic explanation works :)
