    fj40 factory power steering what to do now???

    I have a 79 with factory power steering thats pouring out fluid from the box too! I was actually about to pull it off and send it to West Texas but now I'm a little scared. How much is Red Head charging and how long is their lead time?

    Preserving Patina - How To Tips and Tricks

    I totally thought it was a total repaint when I took the top off. It certainly looks like one but the VIN plate under the hood confirms rustic green

    Preserving Patina - How To Tips and Tricks

    After reading through some of this thread, I took some laquer thinner to that section of the top I posted above. Really wishing I hadn't of done that, but I guess I'm kind of committed at this point. I'm just going to wait to go forward until someone gives me their thoughts.

    Preserving Patina - How To Tips and Tricks

    Ok so I just bought this 79 FJ40. 44k original miles and (supposedly) original paint. The guy who had it before me (he only had it for a week before I got it off him) did something to the hood, fender, and flare to make it look like it has. He said he used a paint scraper and took off a layer of...

    How should I go about this rust repair?

    So I bought a 79 FJ40, runs and drives perfect, 4 speed, factory power steering, pretty much all original. Really nice truck! The whole thing needs repainted, the paint is pretty oxidized and just toast from years in the sun, so when I bought it a total repaint was already in its future. I'm not...

    Long Time FJ40 Fan, First Time Poster--Question about FJ40 Popularity

    Small world, I live in Mountain Brook about two minutes away from the Publix you mentioned. I'm wondering how I've never seen you, I thought I knew about all the Land Cruisers around town! To answer your question though, as you know, theres LOTS of Land Cruiser love around Birmingham.

    Part number for blank diff lock switch cover?

    I have a non locked 1997 FZJ80, the previous owner had some toggle switches installed where the diff lock switch would have been. They don't go to anything, and are kind of broken and dingey looking. I just want to get the blank cover to fill that area, but I'm having a hard time locating one

    2003 Stuck in Park, No Nav screen, Dead dash, and VSC/Brake lights on

    Damn. I know for a fact when the alternator fuse on a gx470 blows that exact same thing happens but theres no power to anything without the key on. If you press the shift lock can you manually shift out of park and drive it?

    2003 Stuck in Park, No Nav screen, Dead dash, and VSC/Brake lights on

    Does anything work without the ignition on? Like the dome lights, door locks, power seat? If NOTHING seems to work until you have the key in the ignition I would suggest checking all your fuses because you most likely have a blown one. I know the Alternator fuse will do this, I also thing the...

    Opinions on buying a LX from SC? Rust?

    As a dealer, whenever I get a older LX/LC in inventory they both usually get a good amount of attention fairly quickly but wow when it's a LC I'm getting phone calls from all over the country for the first few days and everyone asks about rust (even when it's been in AL its entire life....)...

    Opinions on buying a LX from SC? Rust?

    I absolutely think it's too much. I would never think that I'd be able to sell that car for that much. I also think it's one of the nicest, cleanest, and looks to be one of the most well taken care of examples I've seen in a long time. And I've seen A LOT of people pay 10k for one with 190k...

    Opinions on buying a LX from SC? Rust?

    I'm in the southeast and it's not at all like that. If you have one from a bad rust state (Ohio, Vermont, Maine, Illinois, etc) it might as well be worthless. But a clean vehicle with minor rust will still sell like crazy, especially white/tan. They just come up for sale so infrequently over...

    Opinions on buying a LX from SC? Rust?

    It's wholesale, so someone would probably buy it and put it for sale for like $10,800. I think $9900 is max money with 250k on it though.

    Opinions on buying a LX from SC? Rust?

    Surely he was being sarcastic To clarify, I'm a dealer, this car is states away, and I have zero oppertunity to inspect it. But it's super clean, really nice set of good Michelins on it, I see the timing belt sticker under the hood, both keys, by the time I have it in front of me I'll probably...

    Opinions on buying a LX from SC? Rust?

    These are literally the only two I have back there which don't really show what you need. But the bolts look ok and I don't see any bubbling up paint.

    Opinions on buying a LX from SC? Rust?

    I wish I had better pics. That's all I got, The other pics are just kind of outside and don't show anything. The truck is $6800, so I'm thinking I'm just going to buy it and if it doesn't end up being a keeper sell it. Looks really super clean honestly.

    Opinions on buying a LX from SC? Rust?

    Alright guys, I've kind of been looking around for an 03+ to replace my 01 LX and I came across this one from a wholesaler I know (I work in the car business). It's an 03, supposedly pretty nice, 240k miles and lived it's entire life in South Carolina, from the carfax it looks like it was mainly...

    Question about a bumper alignment and a buy

    Looks rusty and beat up, 91-92 model so 3FE and no lockers. I wouldn’t drive 10 hours for that. I probably wouldn’t drive 2. But it all comes down to what your budget is and what you’re looking to get out of it. Are you one of those people that’ll throw a bunch of money at something and want...

    Bought a 97 that sat in the back of a shop abandoned for 8 years. Guess this is a build thread?

    You'll love it! My LX470 is my favorite car I've ever had. I actually sold a 2014 BMW 535 M Sport when I bought it because I loved the LX so much I just didn't feel a need to keep it. It was in a shop somewhere on north side close to the 65 overpass. I'm a dealer and a dealer friend I have...
