A car lot is selling a 2014 Landcruiser with 56k miles. Pictures look great, they are asking 50k. I haven't looked at it yet. But according to the salesman, it shows 3 owners but in 2019 it was rear ended and the air bags deployed. He said it does not have a salvage title. Is this something I...
I hit the lottery, I got drawn for bighorn sheep in December. 45C, Kofa National wildlife refuge. I am getting super excited. Time to get to know the area. Lots of hiking for me for the next 6 months. I might try and take a trip soon just to drive around and see whats there.

A little back story, 12-15 years ago I had someone do a head gasket for me. Ever since then it has run hot. I've replaced everything that touches liquid. Some times multiple times(radiator- finally went with OEM). I finally just watched my temps rise and drove it the past decade. It can get to...
After finding out my transfer case was bad again, drastic measures were needed. What can fix it? With a little gentle arm twisting a new 5 speed and new transfer case. It wasn't too hard to convince me. Everyone says its the best upgrade you can do, right? Its expensive but I have been wanting...
I'll say this up front, I had 3 kids with me, it was 115 degrees and no ac.
We were going up camping yesterday, we left around 12:00. I saw one of the road signs up the 87 that say brush fire at mile post 243 expect long delays. I hadn't heard of any fires so I thought maybe it was old. Anyway...
I was out yesterday and needed to turn around and go back the way I came. It was a little rough and steep so I decided to put it in 4wd and go to 4low to go back up. I locked the hubs, put it in 4 low and put it in reverse. I could cut it into a clearing and go forward up the hill. As I am...
Talking to a guy about Landcruisers, he mentions he has a 40 he was going to get running. He said he might be willing to sell it. I went and looked at it. I think it would be fun to have, but this looks like a ton of work. He said it's a 72. I didn't get a picture of the VIN. He has a second tub...
On Saturday we went to my kids flag football game. While there we were waiting in the car and I turned on my LCPhil fan. I forgot to turn it off, came back an hour and half later and the 100 wouldn't start. Got a jump and came home.
Started fine Sunday, Monday it wouldn't start so I put a...
Saw this the other day, stopped by today. I didn't see it anywhere here so I thought I would post. They are selling for a friend. The guy brings them up from Costa Rica. Currently there is no transmission. He said they are waiting on parts. Anyone know more about it? I asked if he would trade...
Had a fun hunt with great results. This guy was chasing cows and pushing other bulls away. There were 4-5 bulls on all around. Apparently the drought did damage for antler growth.
I had my transfer case rebuilt two years ago. So its not under warranty anymore. Looks like the oil seal is bad. I haven't driven my 60 in a few weeks. Went out of town and came home to a big puddle. I traced the oil back to this seal. I could move it with my finger.
I shifted into...
Got home late last night and could smell coolant. Looked at the coolant T, and one was leaking. It also looked like the hose had slipped off. I went to see if I could push the hose on with my hands and the T broke.
This is urgent because we have plans to drive to Mexico on Wednesday. I'm not...
There is a strange noise coming from the front of the engine. It looks like the drive belt or fan clutch could be the problem. It acts like it wants to stall almost. I made a video but can't seem to post it. I'll keep trying. I don't think I will drive it. Anybody know how I can post a...
Went out last weekend hunting. On our way home we have to go down a very long and steep hill. I'm almost to the bottom when I smell and see a lot of smoke from the tailpipe. I turn the engine off, just happened to see some deer on the other side of the canyon so we watched them for a little...
My 2004 has been overheating the last few weeks at stops. If we are moving it's fine, but once we stop for a drive through or what not it can go up to 220. When driving it sits around 195. About 30 thousand miles ago I had the water pump replaced with the timing belt. I need to go through my...
My wife just sent me this picture. She is sitting idle in the car for a few minutes. She said when she started driving it would only go 1/4 mark. Ive seen threads and people point out that its normal to show low pressure. But is this too low? Oil has been in 8 months and about 5k miles. Oil is...
