The tensioner was lying on the skid plate. It ran well without the tensioner. THe belt did not slip until I dicked with it and the passanger side cam rotated about 30 degrees. I decided then it was game over. I towed it to toyota. It could have been over tensioning form the first timing...
Wife was driving land cruiser and called me to advise she heard a knocking noise. Fearing the worst, I told her to shut it down. I went to her and found that the timing belt was loose and slapping around. a little history first ... 1999 landcruiser 160k well maintained.
The timing...
Those little bitty ****ing screws hace come loose. You gotta take the whole thing out and try to tighten them without breaking them. They hold the cover to the opening contraption
it is a 1999 with 137000 miles. I have no records it from the previous owner. It seems to be taken care of and had oem oil filter on it when purchased. The plugs have about 40,000 on them.
The valve timing comment worries me. I do not know if the timing belt has been changed or not...

P0302 Cylinder 2 misfire
P0304 Cylinder 4 misfire
fast forward to last night, engine light comes on when leaving...
my 1999 does it every once and a while. Mine is the passanger side door lock. The remote will unlock but will not lock the doors. Physically stick the key in the door lcok and work it back and forth a few times. This fixes mine every time.
good luck

Kinda off the subject,
My ex rolled my old 80 at 70 MPH with my little girl in the second seat in a car seat and shoulder belt. The eighty was totaled (I now have a 100) nobody was hurt by the grace of god and toyota engineering.
The shoulder belts work great for child restraits with the...

There I was happy as I could be with a 1999 100 bone stock. Theh a frien bought a 2007 Tundra and wanted TRD wheels on it. I got his tundra 18" wheels with 255 70 R-18 mich LTX A/S tires and put then on the land cruiser. It gave me about 1.5" more of ground clearance.
Just my guess but...
I just had the same thing happen to me last week. My Keyless entry also would not lock the doors. Check that the key in the door lock unlocks and locks all doors. That was my problem bad contact at the passanger door key tumbler
