Hi all,
My 2011 LX was reclaimed by my wife to be a minivan for our one small child. It currently has 18’ LC stock wheels and is now driven just about exclusively around town and on highway. It gets driven through snow and occasionally deep snow 5-10x year, other than that just about all paved...
Hi All, 2011 LX570. Short version is my battery is currently dead dead. I can jump it, but when i take the battery pack off, it dies shortly thereafter. I feel like all the symptoms are that of a failing alternator, but the symptoms of an alternator issue coincided with me trying to tap into a...
Hi All, 2011 LX 570 owner for about 6 months now. A few weeks ago, I got the 'Check ACH System' light and my ACH height went to Low and stayed there. Called my local mechanic, made an appointment (he was a month out at the time) for this Wednesday. Got sick of waiting, did a little research and...
Hi All,
Have a yard and a half of grey seat cloth from SMS. Took me a year to get it (they are the absolute worst, except the quality is good) and truck is now sold. LMK if you are interested, cost me $250 ish. Can send pics.
Hi all, new to me LX570, had it for about a month so far. Love the thing. Still working on baselining. During highway driving about a week ago, the Trac Off, Check Engine, and 4LO lights all came on - with the 4LO blinking. Pulled over, read some threads, the internet gave me various answers...
Hi all! Not new to mud (previous FJ62, GX470, and 4th gen runner owner) but new to the 200 series forum. Excited to be here!
Just picked up a 2011 LX570 w/160k on the clock. Bought it sight unseen from a dealer across the country with very little service records. I know, im stupid/insane!
Truck...
Selling my 1989 62, 190k mi, located in Santa Fe, NM. Asking $16,500. Will likely try to list on Bring a Trailer, but would love to sell it to a fellow mudder, and decided to list it here first.
I am going to make every attempt to overdisclose (not a word) everything with this truck. I want...
Hi y’all, doing the first oil change on my new to me GX470. Broke the first bolt trying to drop the skid plate. Went to pull the second and it was already broken with half the bolt still in the frame rail. Anyone had the same experience and how did you get the broken bolts out of there? Tried...
Hi y’all- moron here. Installed a new headunit into my non nav gx470 and it went great! Except I can’t hear anything. I’m thinking my factory amp is possibly not turning on, so I’m going to pull it all back apart and see what I missed. Anyone know what the plug is for in the picture? This is my...
Hi y’all! After being semi active on the FJ62 mud threads for a bit, I decided to dump my current daily (pm me if anyone wants to buy a V70R) and also join over here and grabbed this 03 GX that I have dubbed Blucifer! Immediately took it camping and slept great in the back with the second row...
Hi all,
After snapping the bolt while installing my last shock onto my new lift kit, then ordering an entirely new lower spring seat (my dumbass thought the bolt was a stud off the seat) I am in search of a new bolt so I can complete my lift! Does anyone know a part number for or where I can...
Hi y’all, in the middle of installing a lift kit. I have two new sets of anti inversion shackles and they are slightly different sizes. Do the taller ones go in the rear or front?
Hi Mud,
So, I just got my new carpet! Super pumped to install! Then stupidly realized that my tailgate doesn't have a door card. Does anyone know where I can get one? Or does anyone have a template for one? I feel like it wouldn't be too difficult to cut one out myself. Anyone done this...
How this happened: I went to HS in northern NM in the early 2000s and my best friend drove this truck that her dad bought for her from an AZ relative. She got a new car when she went to college. Her dad eventually wanted this truck to be his project, he worked for the Forest Service at the time...
Hi All,
Recently rescued an FJ62 from a slow death in a friend's yard. Hasn't run in about 7 years but PO said ran when parked. So far, I have changed coolant, oil, spark plugs, fuel filter, fuel pump (dropped and cleaned tank) and battery. Finally got her to turn and idle (surprisingly quite...
Good morning FJ team!
Finished swapping my fuel pump yesterday on my FJ62 project, but after putting the tank back in, i have a bit of a leak coming from where metal the fuel line from the tank threads into the main fuel line (between the pass side rear tire and diff). Please see the attached...
Hi all,
Sorry for the dumb question - attempting to drop my fuel tank, but I can’t seem to get the metal fuel line disconnected. Have never done this before, must be doing something wrong and I already feel stupid. Tried to just turn the two nuts on the line with no luck - was scared to go at...
Hi friends! New to the IH8Mud forum, and FJ's in general.
Long story short, picked up an FJ62 from a family friend that has been sitting in a yard for years (in NM, no rust). Ran when parked. Couldn't pass it up, so now I own an FJ!
Drained gas tank, swapped fuel filter (fuel was in the line...
