Hey all - in the process of putting the engine back together from a water pump / timing belt / fan bracket replacement I messed up and pulled the wires out of the plug going into the crankshaft angle sensor. I was able to determine the connector is just a standard F-type 2 wire connector and...
Okay my 2UZ-FE mechanics out there, have a question on the camshaft bearing cap on a 2UZ-FE in a 1999 LC. I'm doing a refresh including the Timing/Water Pump, Camshaft Seals, Valve Cover gaskets, etc. Goal is to be completely oil leak free for the next multiple years (about 5 years ago did all...
Hey Y'all,
Have a 100 series and thinking about a 40 series. Found one I like as a ready to go but still could make a lot of tweaks and fixing up. Wondering about pricing though and looking for advice. Here is the description and a couple pics
1966 Toyota FJ40, Land Cruiser.Super clean, 350...
Hey All,
Acquired a 99 LC about 6 months ago. Spent about 4 months on stands in the garage while I fixed everything up mechanically. Now that it runs right, time to go play. Been poking around a bit in the threads for SFLC and Upstate and will post this in both sections - who do I need to...

Somewhere along the way the spare tire on the lc I picked up got lost. Looking for a cheap rim to replace it with, already have a good condition tire that matches the tire size on the vehicle. Condition of rim not all that important as long as still true and doesn't leak. Pm if you have an...
I've searched through the forum and FSM but can't seem to find instructions on how to take the outside mirrors apart without breaking the mirrors. Anyone have a body repair manual or can tell me how to take one apart? Thanks as always!
Was wondering if anyone knows how the wiring harness is set up for all 6 door sections. Planning on removing them all when I respray the truck. On the front drivers door the harness has three connectors plugged in under the front cover. Is there a similar setup for all the other doors? In...
As a recent inductee to the LC owners club, thought about time to post pics. But also wanted to get opinions on a potential color change.
First - here is the ugly beast. Got the truck for $1 from a family member for some trade work on his house and the understanding that it probably had a...
Hoping someone can help me track down SST part number 09990-00480. I'm in the process of rebuilding the master cylinder and replacing the booster/accumulator. While doing the research on the repair I stumbled stumbled across an ABS actuator checker SST 09990-00150 on eBay and picked it up for...
After all the posts on the bad heater t's had on my list of things to change soon. Had this on my mind while at the local Lowe's and thought to check if they had the appropriate size brass t's. These looked like the right size and thought for $3 or so each wouldn't be out much even I forgot to...
Hey All,
Trying to diagnose which component or if it is both making this awful racket whenever I hit the brakes. Brakes do not feel spongy and with the new pads/rotors on all 4 corners when you stomp down it really stops well and no pulling to one side. ABS also working just fine - tested on...
Went and changed the plugs on 99LC. Have no idea if/when they were ever changed in the 235k life of this hundy. Wasn't having any misfire or codes, just part of new to me tune up.
All the coils/plugs looked good except #2 from the front on the passenger side. As seen from the pic - dirty...
Still in the process of rebuilding the front drivetrain and water pump/timing belt on the 99 LC. While tearing it all down noticed a lot of oil/dirt/sludge all over the oil pans and front. Wasn't enough to be dripping and no signs of leak on the ground, but enough crud underneath to make me...
Hey All,
After much reading on the forum to and figure out what was wrong on the 99 LC I ended up calling JT's for some advice on diagnosing some drive train issues. Corie was great on the phone, answered questions and had good advice - seems to be a stand up guy. After all was said and done...
Still fairly new to this forum and the LC in general. Can someone please point me to the FAQ's and hints for replacing the timing belt/water pump on a 1999 LC. I have the Toyota service manual already - my main question really is what if any "specialty" tools am I going to need to do this. To...
New to playing with diff's but been doing lots of research. From earlier help determined the problem to be somewhere in the front diff/drive shaft/cv's/hubs and ruled out the center diff as that is behaving exactly as it should. I pulled the hub covers - splines looked good. So took the next...
Hey all! I just acquired a 99 LC for practically nothing. The engine purrs like a kitten and has lots of power but there is a problem in the Transfer Case area and hoping someone can help point me in the right direction before I put it up on jacks and start taking it out.
