Have the wheel bearing torque and ball joints been checked? My 99 had failing ball joints which made it impossible to align and drive straight.

I had this problem. Turned out to be worn out starter contacts. There is a thread on this.

My front arb is leaking too. It’s the next major project to tear it out and figure out where the leak is

My locker ecu which is in the passenger foot well by where your right foot would be had bad contacts no had to plug it in and unplug it to get my rear locker to work

Fwiw. I like my big ko2 s. The side walls are tough. I wheelnon lots of sharp rocks and never had a problem.

Do you have after market control arms? Possibly the castor angle is not adjusted correctly. This could lead to "death wobble" which sometimes behaves like you note. It happens only at some speed b/c it is a dynamically constructive interference (basically builds with speed). Sometimes inputs...

Sounds like a bad connection to battery. Check battery terminals

I was just thinking about dreaming about doing the Dakar rally in my 100

I had this. Sounded like a small animal was running around behind the dash or a gurggule. This happened right before my heater tees failed. If I heard a sound like that again I would immediately check the heater tees by removing hoses. And pinching the plastic. Mine crumbled in my hands.

Have you checked the front diff bushing? Would show symptoms like this only under torque from the engine. YouTube search front differential bushing Land Cruiser 100. And you will see what I mean

Did the mechanic use a smoke machine or similar to check for leaks on vac lines and exhaust? If no they likely didn’t check well enough. It is very hard to find pinhole leaks. And pinholes sometimes sound like turbos. High pitched whistle. If it only happens under acceleration sounds...

Hello community. I seek your wisdom! I'm replacing my serpentine belt tensioner as a part of a timing belt replacement. However, I've discovered that the OE (or at least I think it's the OE part from Aisin) has a different size pulley wheel than the one that came out of my 1999 land cruiser...

I searched and didn't find anything definitive on this topic -- would be glad to be pointed at a definitive thread if one is there to be had! I'm about to launch into installing a Trail Tailor creeper skid plate on my 1999 land cruiser with 285k on the clock. I thought, while I'm in there...

I'm about to do this on my 1999 land cruiser with 285k on the clock. Did you replace mounts with OEM mounts or aftermarket? If aftermarket, which ones? Have you noticed a difference in engine vibration positive or negative?

Thanks hoser for the sage advice. This is the kind of first hand know how I was looking for from this forum! Thanks again.

Thanks saucebox. I've ordered one. For $15 much cheaper than armor ;)

I would have agreed not needed thill last weekend!

Thanks for all the info and offers to help! Unfortunately none of those fit a 1999 with a rear e locker ….. so looks like I’m out of luck for now.

I searched the forum and the web, but could not seem to find anyone who makes a rear differential skid plate for the 100 series (mine is a 1999). I just got back from an awesome Cal4wd Sierra Poker Run where we ran Brewer Lake and Bald Mountain. Came back with a bunch of scrapes on my diff...

Triple locked. It makes hard things easy. Especially if you are not overly skilled
