    SOLD  1996 LX450, 178k mi, Syracuse, NY

    I’ve been a member of this community for several years now, people on here appreciate a Land Cruiser more than the average Joe. The brakes are new in the rear and brake lines flushed every spring. See the Dorkel in the pics. It has an ARB front bumper with a 12,000 pound Smittybilt winch with...

    Gas Filler Neck needed for a 1996 FZJ80

    My mechanic can't find one. I ordered one online and a few days later they said it's not available. Anyone have suggestions, used or new, for the part?

    Throttle sticking, 1300+ RPM at idle

    I've been having a problem with my 80. The RPMs will stay between 1300 and 1500 when at idle unless I lift up on the gas pedal. I've tried lubricating the cable from on top of the engine block and pushing it back and forth several times. I've done this several times over the last few weeks. It...

    Portland Glass windshield replacement, SNAFU

    We traveled to Maine for a family vacation last week. Our LX570 windshield was hit by something on the way there and had a 1 1/2 foot crack across the right side. After the initial windshield installation I noticed that the seal at the base of the windshield was not flush at the sides. I opened...

    Off Roading with an 80

    Last weekend I took the 80 off roading with a pack of jeeps. We were a family of 5 with camping gear, food and toys. The 80 held up great. It was mostly overlanding, some rock crawling and water crossings. The trails were mostly rated 3-4. We were comfortable enough that my kids fell asleep...

    Cylinder 6 misfires

    My 96 lx450 has cylinder 6 misfires during cold starts, especially after it rains. Since cylinder 6 is right under the edge of the hood I figured it was water affecting the coil and or plug. Plug 6 and it's coil seem dry after it rains. Dielectric grease on the plug/coil did not help. Today I...

    Rough idle almost stalling on cold start

    It happens especially after a rain. The red low battery light will also intermittently come on during the almost stalls. There's no codes being generated and I recently replaced the battery with a diehard gold. The rough idle goes away once warm but the red battery light will intermittently come...

    What motor oil type and weight do you use?

    Toyota recommends 0w-20. In other countries thicker oil has been recommended for older land cruisers. In the US we had a 5w-30 recommendation for the 1fz-fe when other parts of the world had thicker recommendations. Historically the land cruiser has been easy on oil with prior engines. I'm...

    Sears Platinum/Odyssey Rant

    It was a great battery for 3 years. It has a four year warranty and was MADE 10/2013. Sears will not honor the warranty because I installed it myself and have no receipt. Keep in mind it was MADE 10/2013 and I could not buy it before it was made. Perhaps this is just a lemon but I'm not buying...

    Excessive Play with Steering on 2015 LX570

    Hey Ya'll We have a 2015 LX570 with 17K miles that totally stock. It has the Dunlop OEM tires and has never been in an accident. There is excessive play with the steering whether going 30 or 60mph. I am planning in replacing the tires and checking the alignment. Before doing that I want to see...

    87 vs 91 Octane: LC vs LX570

    Whats the verdict: is there a mechanical difference that justifies the octane difference? Past LX and Land Cruiser models have the EXACT same engines, is there a difference now? There has been some discussion in the past but no clear answer. Toyota's posted response was vague. I understand the...

    Cracked lead battery terminal

    Boneheaded move: I overtightened negative terminal and cracked it. I'm planning on replacing it with a mil spec one, cutting off the negative wire connections to the existing terminal and attaching them to the new mil spec terminal. Is this a mud worthy fix? Are there better solutions? Here's...

    Studdering when she starts cold

    She's a 1996 LX 450 with 158k. When she starts cold she stutters and almost stalls until warm. This is been going on for about a month. Today the check engine light came on. I recently replaced the upstream oxygen sensor as it was cracked. Once warm it runs beautifully does anyone have any...

    Put some fuel injector cleaner in now...

    My '96 cruiser idled high- like 900 to 1300 RPM high. Before it was a rock solid 650-700RPM. I know it was a bad idea to add it. It's now been 3-4 full tanks run through. Any advice? Maybe just a tincture of time?

    Snorkel install help...from the Cruiser Minds

    The snorkel was installed by the local trusted garage. He didn't want to install the upper bracket due to concerns about water leaking into the cabin or window frame. What solutions can you guys offer? Was the snorkel installed too far forward from the window? I was thinking of gluing in a...
