Busted front differential or CV Axle?
1) Tried to put it in reverse while rolling forward and heard a clunk. Lost power to wheels immediately.
2) When I lock the center differential, there is power at the wheels (probably back wheels)
3) There is movement on the front drive shaft with the...
Hi,
I'm getting a "clunk/click" sounds that I can almost feel whenever I come to a complete stop. It's very consistent and doesn't seem to be getting better/worse. I've driven about 500 miles with the sound. It seems to be coming from the front end. Nothing is visibly loose...
A few details...
As the title says, I have a full battery and there are no codes coming from the ODB2 sensor.
It seems to crank on the engine, but nothing happens. The engine seems to turn over pretty powerfully, but it doesn't "start". Ideas of failure locations? How do I diagnose?
Fuel system not working...
Hi,
I have searched a few threads on the forums about cargo carpet replacement and they range from original carpet to marine carpet. I am installing KISS drawers and the truck was a dog hauler before I had it, so I'd like a cheaper replacement (will be mostly hidden).
Do i need to install...
Hi,
I bought a passenger window switch for my 2000 land cruiser and it fit perfectly. When I plug it in, the window does nothing. (the old one only rolls the window up). I bought one of these:
84810-60050 - Genuine Toyota SWITCH ASSY, POWER WINDOW REGULATOR
Part #84810-60050
The ONLY...
Hi,
I have a 2000 LC and was advised to replace the boots and refill them with grease AND re-pack the wheel bearings. I was told that i did not need to replace the axle at this time.
I had a few questions:
The the bearings are just in the front? Two total?
Are there four boots that need...
What could you not live without on long road trips in your LC? I am planning about 3K miles with a wife and two children under 4. We plan on camping along the way.
Mechanical:
Engine in good shape. Timing belt/heater hoses replaced in last year.

Hi,
The drivers side door took some damage at some point. I'm guessing it was hung on and now when I close the door, it needs to be "lifted" to close properly.
Symptoms:
-Loose door at hinges. No obvious damage, but bolts seem tight. I can List the door and see movement at the hinges.
-Hits...
Hi!
I know this topic has been beaten to death, but I blew out a tire on an otherwise flat section of trail today. I think a hard impact on the tire from a rock pushed a hole right through the MIDDLE of it. They are old(er).
I am looking for tires that meets these specifications:
-Fits stock...
Hi.
Just replaced my heater T's with metal fittings with these:
Four Seasons 84543 Heater Fitting https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000DCNGIS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_pw3Z1jtWRZnF2
I did not replace the lower hose, but I replaced the 5/8 inch hoses on the top. I reused the clamps.
Attached is a picture...
Hey. I replaced my timing belt today and it ran perfectly for 10 minutes. I believe around the time the thermostat opened, coolant started pouring out of the water pump between the pump and the thermostat housing. This is the place where you"make" a gasket. I'm using this stuff:
Permatex 82180...
Hi,
I have my timing belt off and I was curious if anyone has ever considered a preventative head gasket replacement. I'm replacing the valve cover gaskets, so I figure why not continue onto the head gaskets and get the heads machined and gaskets replaced? I'd need bolts/gaskets etc. etc.
I'm...
Hi,
Quick question. I need to replace my shocks and I want to eventually lift the truck. I eventually want to upgrade to a 2.5" lift from Slee. Can I start with just the shocks?
Here's the eventual upgrade:
Slee - Toyota 100 Series Land Cruiser Suspension
Can I install these new shocks...
Hi All,
I'm starting in on the timing belt/cooling system on my '00. The local shop estimated $1500 for a makeover. The belt was replaced over 100K miles ago.
This timing belt kit has good reviews and seems to have most of what I need:

My already painful replacement of the driver side exhaust manifold got harder when I had to remove the Oxygen Sensor and it tore up the threading. I was looking for a tap and die kit, but there's a question:
What size/pitch is the Oxygen Sensor thread?
It's this part number:89465-50150

Hi,
I was looking for some part numbers related to my Driver Side exhaust manifold replacement on a 2000 Land Cruiser. It was lots of fun to take off, but i'll save that for another thread.
1) here are 8 nuts that hold the exhaust manifold to the engine. I'm not replacing the bolts because...
HI. I was curious if anyone faced this issue in the past:
-The passenger can roll UP the window, but not down.
-The window rolls down when using the drivers side switch.
-The door lock switch works.
Essentially passenger can't roll down the window, everything else works.
I'm certain it's...
Hi. Long time first time.
I'm looking at a 2000 LC tomorrow. I'm curious what you think it's worth and what I should look for. These are the KNOWN issues:
-235,000 miles.
-Exhaust manifold leak.
-Drivers power window broken.
-Torn interior.
What would you value this vehicle at? I'm in the...
