    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...

    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

    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...

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

    Ok so a few weeks ago I happened across a non locked, 1997, non running land cruiser that had sat in the back of a repair shop more or less abandoned since 2011. Mold had somehow gotten on the inside, the windshield was cracked, tires completely dry rotted and wouldn't hold air, had a crappy...

    FJ80 only drives with center diff locked

    Ok so some of you guys may remember me as the guy who bought a very rough project of an 80 series. So far I’ve more or less had to touch every system on this thing. Neglected is an understatement but I’m committed now. The truck only drives with the center diff locked, I actually didn’t...

    AHC questions — RR significantly higher than rest of truck

    Hey guys! So quick question. I replaced all four globes on my 01 LX470 today. They were all shot, bled the system everything went well. Truck is better but still rides kind of rough. I noticed the passenger side was a good bit higher than the drivers side So I moved to the torsion bars. They...

    Over Investing Dilemma- 92 FJ80

    Some of you may remember that around two months ago I bought a rough little 92 cruiser that didn’t run. Headlights and grille were missing, radio bezels cracked, interior was nasty, and I came to find out the rear driveshaft and rear shocks were missing as well. Fast forward a few weeks, I...

    How much AHC fluid do I need when I change globes?

    Ok, so I recently ordered the Pleiades globes to replace my tired, worn out globes on my 01 LX470. I have no idea if they were original or not, but the ride is shot. Surprisingly (I might be missing something), I haven't really found a comprehensive how to post here, but from what I gathered...

    FJ80 won't start, no CEL, checked everything - Bad ECU?

    I'm at my witts end with this problem. A few weeks ago I bought a mess of a 1992 FJ80 for $1000, not running seller said it needed fuel pump. When I turn the key on all I get is the "Brake" light, gear position indicator, and door open light. Battery voltmeter gauge works - no movement in...

    Completely lost trying to figure out electrical problems

    Ok so posted here saturday, bought a 1992 LC from a wholesaler buddy of mine. "Ran when parked" (2015). He told me he started it and drove it on the transport truck and back off. Said all he felt was something not right with the axle but the engine and trans were strong. Told me his buddy (whose...

    Should I buy this 80 series? Rough but cheap

    So I've wanted an 80 for a while now, it will be a fourth car for me and I already have a 100 in near perfect condition. I kind of just want one to have a project around and go take it in the woods and have a little fun every now and then. I found a white 1992 model, only done 191k miles, no...

    No Start! Fuel Pump? Immobilizer?

    So tonight I got a hell of a surprise, the LX470 let me down! I drove it to the gas station and when I hopped back in it just wouldn't start. Just sits there spinning and spinning but doesn't catch. As it was 11 at night I was somewhat limited in what I could do but heres what all I checked...

    AHC Front and Rear pressures and Error Code

    Hey guys! So I'm still trying to do a little work to my 01 LX! About a month ago I tried to do the AHC Graduation test and see how many tick marks I got and honestly couldn't really even get that far. AHC reservoir is overfilled. How I don't know, but I plan on doing a fluid flush anyways. I'm...

    High Mileage Oil?

    Ok so it's time for my first oil change on my (new to me) 2001 LX470 and I'm having a hard time getting it figured out (mainly since I love this thing and I would really love it to last a few hundred thousand more miles). I've got 260k on it right now. Have no idea what was really ran in there...

    Need some AHC Help

    Recently bought a 2001 LX470 with 260k miles. The thing is in really amazing condition. Super clean interior and exterior and I have a service history dating back to new! It isn't perfect, it's due for another timing belt/water pump change, one of the heater T's hasn't been replaced (at least at...

    You guys think a Gobi 4Runner rack would fit an LX470?

    Title says it all. Someone locally is selling a Gobi Stealth Rack for a 4th gen 4Runner for an extremely good price. I would really love to have it, but it's still just a little too expensive for me to just go buy it and hope It'll fit. I'm really not too interested in making it fit either. If...
