A car lot is selling a 2014 Landcruiser with 56k miles. Pictures look great, they are asking 50k. I haven't looked at it yet. But according to the salesman, it shows 3 owners but in 2019 it was rear ended and the air bags deployed. He said it does not have a salvage title. Is this something I...

What do you attribute this to? I am having the same problem. No running lights, tail lights. Or blower motor. Chasing fuses. Just bought and installed a work around for the fusible link. No go. All fuses tested fine, still replaced some anyways.

I hit the lottery, I got drawn for bighorn sheep in December. 45C, Kofa National wildlife refuge. I am getting super excited. Time to get to know the area. Lots of hiking for me for the next 6 months. I might try and take a trip soon just to drive around and see whats there. Sean

What insurance do you have? I just called mine (USAA) and they will not cover it as a classic car since I plan on taking it off road. Sean

I've searched the forum and couldn't find this. Looks like this was uploaded a few weeks ago. A couple guys take a ct 90 and new 125 up the dalton highway. Makes me want to get mine running.

Does anyone here ever swap to an LS engine and regret it?

My brother rolled his 80 after rebuilding his engine a few months ago. It's a 93. How hard would it be to put that engine in? Bonus, maybe I get his locked axles also.

It's not a daily driver, I use it for camping/hunting/outdoors plus random errands throughout the week. To be honest, I never really mind driving slow, I chuckle to myself as 18 wheelers and RVs pass me going up hills. I don't mind the 2f, I kind of enjoy it. With that said, I feel like if I...

Options: Rebuild? Used 2f? LS engine? I am leaning towards an LS engine, but that is spendy. Also, just 6 months ago I had a 5 speed put it in.

A little back story, 12-15 years ago I had someone do a head gasket for me. Ever since then it has run hot. I've replaced everything that touches liquid. Some times multiple times(radiator- finally went with OEM). I finally just watched my temps rise and drove it the past decade. It can get to...

After finding out my transfer case was bad again, drastic measures were needed. What can fix it? With a little gentle arm twisting a new 5 speed and new transfer case. It wasn't too hard to convince me. Everyone says its the best upgrade you can do, right? Its expensive but I have been wanting...

I am not seeing how it can be a birfield. But I will yield to you guys. I actually have a rebuild kit for them I bought last year. So they need to be done. I did them when I first bought my 60 15 years ago. So its time. I did some trouble shooting today. At this point I still think its the...

I'll say this up front, I had 3 kids with me, it was 115 degrees and no ac. We were going up camping yesterday, we left around 12:00. I saw one of the road signs up the 87 that say brush fire at mile post 243 expect long delays. I hadn't heard of any fires so I thought maybe it was old. Anyway...
