    Rear Heater Delete/Coolant Line Cleanup

    Don't know if this will help anyone, but the heater hose from a 2005 Toyota Tundra will replace the metal U and bypass the rear heater. Gates 19166.

    SOLD 1995 FZJ80 Midnight Shadow

    This is all really strange. It seems like the LAST place you'd want to try and flip a Land Cruiser--that was literally listed for sale on this very site--would be a forum of Land Cruiser enthusiasts. If this LC is indeed this one, then we should be wondering why the odometer reads 50k more now...

    Parting Out FZj80 Parting Out *updated*

    This is a long shot, but I'm looking for the rear speaker grille on the headliner for my 95. It's the rear passenger side if that matters. Any chance you have one?

    Stolen Land Cruisers -- Common Factors

    Ah yes. I'm sure they're "ruining Utah" or better yet, "ruining [insert anything because new people now like it]." Or maybe they just disagree with you. What ultimately puzzles me is why you, and a couple other members on here, seem to seek opportunities to make political statements when this...

    Stolen Land Cruisers -- Common Factors

    I'd consider the risk worth taking as opposed to living in Utah.

    Wonder If removed ABS hurts the value of the FJZ80 Land Cruisers

    Still, no one has an answer to a properly functioning ABS vs. properly functioning without ABS. Lots of "back in my day" spew, but that's not logic. Also don't understand the logic of people arguing safety measures are only for lawyers. They're actually for saving people's lives. I've had a...

    Wonder If removed ABS hurts the value of the FJZ80 Land Cruisers

    What's always strange to me reading these threads is that ABS is almost always removed when a braking issue presents itself. Instead of resolving the braking issue, the owner removes the entire system. I'm unsure as to why more people don't diagnose and solve the braking issue first. There...

    Toyota steering wheel replacements for an FJ80

    I keep hearing murmurs that the Sienna wheel is a direct fit. Haven't seen much about it on here though.

    Green coolant vs. Red coolant

    I used to be pretty hesitant about the colors of coolant. That was until I realized that each coolant has different additives and those additives are designed for specific applications. Some coolants will be corrosive on seals, freeze plugs, water pump bearings, etc. they weren't designed for...

    Hub Locknut Failure, near catastrophe!

    Koyo. 80 series. I've read somewhere here another person had heat marks as well. I use the FSM specs. No loosening up for me.

    Hub Locknut Failure, near catastrophe!

    The torque is up for debate. I've seen my bearings get hot from torquing them to 25 ft-lb. As in, heat marks on the races. I've also seen this from others. The tighter the torque on the bearing means it's eating the bearing's preload. That doesn't sound like a good idea. Some people swear by...
