Love this truck

It was always going to be a daily with some mild offroading. I didn't go with beadlock wheels for this reason. I don't have a tow rig and as far as I know none of the trails around here are that technical anyway and rock crawling etc isn't really my thing. Was going to be a...

Initial estimate from the shop is near $20k, tailgate top and bottom, bumper, seals, unobtanium tire carrier, exhaust, rear fenders, front bumper, trim above the front bumper, front right fender. That entire right rear rear quarter where the carrier is mounted is deformed. Then there is the...

Welp, she's officially totaled. Insurance called this morning and had some questions about options on the truck, backed them up and shot down the FJ80 gas comps, they're going to re-run now that they and the comp guy know what an HDJ81 and a 1HD-FT are. I still expect a lowball, so scouring the...

It's worse than ever with this construction. I think they were trying to establish a sob story (which very well may be real) in order to cashapp me money (lol) and try not to get me to call the police. I did anyway because I've lived here long enough and am just totally jaded to that stuff for...

Went to the airshow which was a pretty good time. Sitting in stopped traffic on the highway and get blasted by some tweaker with no license or insurance, which was not a good time. "Just moved here" was one thing they told me, which, great. Thanks for coming. Ugh.

New issue has arisen. Truck keeps stalling on decel/overrun after getting on it a little bit. 1HD-FT Auto. Starts right back up. Also idling a bit high (right at 1000, 1050rpm) and fluctuating slightly. Same stalling issue in Park if I stab the throttle and let off. Also a vibration on decel...

The original ETA on my wheels is 7 months lol. We'll see if they make it in time or not, should be June

The standard 100 is technically "worse" yes, the 105 no. My 95 80 has an electronic normal/sport mode for the suspension, 300,000km and 26 years later it still works 🤷‍♂️ but my understand is that the 100's use airbag susp... Actually it looks like both the HZJ105 and gas 105 were sold in the...

Just a heads up, 1995 does not necessarily mean airbags, it only does for the USDM market. My JDM 95 has no airbags. Gulf-spec trucks may or may not be the same. GCC 80's are, AFAIK, all FZJ80R/L models with the 4.5L gas six. They may import diesels and other versions from elsewhere. In general...

Figured out the history of mine. In May 1995, at what is now a Toyota "Mobility" Store at Tokyo-to, Minatoku, Mita 3-chome 11-34, this truck was seemingly leased or used as a fleet vehicle for a florist shop (seems it still exists). This lasted until April 2006 when a different Toyota dealer...

So I used to be a VW/Audi guy for a long time, I have to say, the helpfulness and knowledge of people on this forum is bar none compared to others (if they're even still going much at all)

Hey, this is on my list... Do you have P/N's easily handy? If I'm planning a respray should I just wait if it might be a year or so?

My 95 has automatic lights but no DRL. The side lights are "cornering lights" that come on with the turn signal. Same thing when I shut my truck off, lights stay on until I open the door.

They do it this way because they don't know which are junkers and which aren't. Casting a wide net. Now, that being said, a $1200 Land Cruiser? Maybe a bare frame...
