Hey mud, I made an order on vitageteqparts.com, around December. I found the website due to ToyotaMatt who has been posting on this website for a while. I made a decently sized order and I have heard nothing back. My question is did I get scammed? Is ToyotaMatt reliable? and has anyone received...

My weathertech (1997 Toyota Land Cruiser Floor Mats - Laser measured Floor Mats For Perfect Fit | WeatherTech - https://www.weathertech.com/toyota/1997/land-cruiser/floorliner-digitalfit/) digital fits don't fit my 97 LC at all. Specifically in the front. They seem just wrong. I can't seem to...

Hello mud, I wanted to update the thread with the results. First, thanks to everyone for their recommendations, as a noob learning about this truck it's nice to have a community. I ended up taking it to a land-cusier-specific shop. Mudrak in Sonoma. I met with Gary the owner who was sure it was...

Looking for a pair of front mud flaps for my 97 LC. I'm specifically looking for the version without the running board insert. Thanks!

For my understanding when people say Dobinsons which shocks do they usually mean? The entry yellow tube?

About to order new sliders with this sale! I'm getting straight out with a top plate for my 80. I wanted to know if I could get the long version and cut my current fender flare cap that comes with the standard running boards. I want full protection and I am ok with removing the mud flaps/caps...

Yes, the freeze plug is still what they think it is. People here say it's rare and unlikely so I'm looking to get another mechanic to look at it soon I just haven't had time. I'm going to keep assuming it's the freeze plugs for this conversation.

Hey everyone, here's the update on my coolant leak issue: The lead technician, who specializes in cruisers, took some time off so it took a while to get a second inspection done. They've since inspected the vehicle and confirmed the leak isn't from the rear of the cylinder head or the PHH. I've...

My 80 is at A+ right now. They wanted to remove the transmission just to see if it's the freeze plugs. They still haven't gotten back to me if there were able to look again at the places I learned about in this thread. I hit up valley hybrid as a backup and they said for that work they would...

I spoke with the shop and pointed out the areas mentioned above. They'll update me tomorrow. I highlighted that the freeze plugs should be visible without removing the transmission. However, they insisted on doing so. On a positive note, they provided clearer reasons this time. They noticed...

Thanks for the replies. They are much more thorough than I expected. I'll confirm with the shop that it's not the water hose on the firewall, or the Pesky Heater Hose under the intake, or from the rear heater pipes/hoses above the transmission bell housing. After that based on the current shop's...

Hey mud, I've had my 97 fzj80 for 5k miles. When I first got it I replaced the valve cover, the hoses, and the radiator. I also replaced the fluids and got new tires. A couple of weeks ago I noticed a smell coming from the car when I drove it. Yesterday while driving I saw the temperature gauge...
