Long story short on the original motor, it never actually failed… i did new spark plugs, and valve cover gaskets + 2 coiln packs before a cross country road trip from SF Bay Area towing a 4500lb camper… I didnt check the plugs (see thread on here now about it) and it tossed a spark plug in #6 in...

Still for sale 8K now

Let me know

$9,000 now

dropped price down to 9,500

I have both (lx470 is for sale, I’ll give you a good price:-) ) and 2 kids… I chose to keep the FJ b/c while I love the space in the LX, the vinal floor in the fj and the ability to go anywhere is what made my decision. As long as the kids are booster seat or bigger then it’s not too much of an...

Hi all, this site has helped me a ton with this truck, but we got a newer sequoia and I can’t keep this one. It’s posted on FB market place and a few others but figured I would share here in case anyone is looking for a rust free rig. Only mods are: Airlift 1000 airbags tobjelpnAHC when...

I’m Looking for a decent non-vvti 2UZ engine only in SF Bay Area if your looking to separate it out

Do you still have the original engine? My 02 LX470 threw a plug(fake Amazon denso) and in trying to get back to the bay from Colorado running on 7 cylinders, then fixing with a timesert fitting I think a valve seal was damaged… down to 125psi in cylinder #6, adding oil didn’t affect the psi…...

I think the connector is behind the cup holder, may not have to pop off all the paneling

Just wanted to contribute, but I had a hell of time getting the replacement bushing on the DS to pop in, I didn’t have longer bolts that were the correct size but I had a 1/2” 6” long bolt, still not being able to get a wrench on top, I hand threaded the nut a few times and had a second nut on...
