2024 Toyota Land Cruiser First Drive: Is the Smaller, Cheaper Off-Road SUV Better?
Toyota is quite effectively...
Hey all,
I recently had the radiator replaced on my FJ62 with a CSF unit at a shop near here. It’s been doing fine cooling wise but after some miles on the truck, it’s developed an intermittent squeak.
My first thought was maybe the belt wasn’t tensioned right during reinstall, but it doesn’t...
Hey all,
I'm in the middle of test fitting and installing a carpet set from Factory Interiors and I had a question about the rear section for install (maybe more to follow once I install the front and middle sections. 1988-1990 Toyota Land Cruiser Carpet Replacement - FJ62 - Nylon Complete |...
Been following the 300 series at Dakar this week and thought I'd share this from Team Land Cruiser:

When I overhauled the TPS on my 3FE, I found some cable housing damage to the throttle control cable housing. When this area would kink, it would cause a variable throttle modulation, since the inner cable was pinched. I was able to bend the housing back a little and reposition it to allow...
I just replaced and adjusted the TPS on my 3FE and the kickdown behavior seems to have gotten worse after I put everything back together. 2nd gear is now shifting at 2500-3000rpm. I've tried taking some slack out of the cable with the nut adjustment, but I'm wondering if I pulled the cable in...
Hey all,
I've been digging around the forums finding other forums with similar behavior to what I'm seeing with my truck,
What my truck is currently experiencing(236k miles):
CEL on highway after long operation under continuous load, 45m-1.5hr
Seemly reduced fuel economy, down to 1/4 tank...
I've got a pretty cracked rubber seal/trim around the small non-moving window section of the passenger rear door. I've got a replacement seal ready to go, but I wanted to get some insight on the replacement steps before I get everything torn apart.
I've got a set of trim tools I could use to...
A few years ago, I had a shop replace the worn off brand 31" tires with Goodyear Trailrunner ATs 31"x10.5x15 (NTB - Tires & Routine Auto Maintenance - https://www.ntb.com/sku/sku5580492/wrangler-trailrunner-at) on the OEM rims. I feel like I've easily exceeded their grip limits in a myriad of...
Hey all,
I've had a time keeping the 3FE in my FJ62 chugging due to the crank pulley nut walking off. Here's the thread from when it originally happened: FJ62/3FE sheared one of the serpentine pulleys - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/fj62-3fe-sheared-one-of-the-serpentine-pulleys.1261525/...
So the 4x4 system has never worked while I’ve owned this FJ62 and I had thought it did. So far I’ve had the hubs serviced, right side twice. Replaced the top vacuum actuator. Gotten the transfer case moving again by using a brake bleeding kit on the lines.
As of now, no 4x4 light comes on in...

Was reversing out of a driveway last night and when I shifted to drive I heard a clunk and lost the power steering. Moved the truck a few hundred feet before I shut it off.
Upon inspection I found the serpentine belt thrown off and the bottom pulley sheared off hanging in the belts. Chewed up...
Nearly lost the truck to the ocean today, I’m not sure my front axel is engaging at all and when the rears lose it they instantly bury the truck to the axel. I think the original design is open diff and I’m struggling so hard for traction everywhere even with 10psi each tire.
Is front drive...
Just had my temp sender replaced and the coolant swapped on my 3FE in the FJ62. I was sitting in traffic and noticed the temp gauge going up, I had driven the truck a few times around town without issue. Sitting in gridlock I noticed that the needle was moving into the upper third range of the...
I've had a spare rim for my FJ62 for a while, but I've never put it on. I can't seem to budge whatever mechanism is supposed to hold the tire and rim in place. I've seen a few threads where folks have theirs on, but none on how it operates (and no OEM manual). How do I lower the bracket to hook...
I'm looking to make the journey out to Cape Lookout this June for a few days in my FJ62. I plan on bringing a decent amount of gear, shovels, traction boards, mega water containers, etc. What gear have you all found you needed for the trip out that way?
I don't have a winch yet but sand seems...
Looking into getting an ARB bullbar + winch for my FJ62. It seems like the only major online retailer that has it is Cruiser Corps and there's a freight surcharge for home delivery: ARB Bumper - 60 Series 1980-1990 - 3410100 -...
Hey all, I'm prepping to fix the back half of the exhaust on my FJ62 since it has rust/collapse around the hanger. I found a new OEM section from the y-pipe back...
I've removed all the carpet and recycled fiber padding from my 62 and I'm planning on putting full carpet back in. I was wondering if when I get carpet to install, if I should try to add pack some sort of NVH padding since all the recycled fiber material is gone. I still have each of the rubber...
