Hi everyone,
So, I broke my drive shaft on some really rough trails. Seems like I Was putting the weight on the rear drive shaft and giving it power. The thing just snapped. I was wondering if there were Any upgrades out there without having to order a custom driveshaft? Do you feel OEM may be...
Hi everyone,
I’m hoping some of you who have installed the 4x4labs rear bumper will weigh in. So, we cut the the cross rails under the bumper. And, then we cut just past the rear exhaust resonator as it says to do in the instructions. The lx470 now sounds a bit louder and I had half a thought...
Hi everyone,
So, I didn’t always have rub with my current tires. When I put my 275/70/18 Ko2s on I still had my stock 18x8 inch OEM rims. Then, I added my ARB Bull bar. I Don’t remember if the rubbing started at this point. If it did it wasn’t horrible. Finally, the breaking point was when I...
Hi everyone,
I busted my lx470’s bumper off-roading and felt that it may be the perfect excuse to ‘invest’ in a steel bumper. At first I was really interested in purchasing the Ironman bumper. It has a decent price point. I like how it looks more than the ARB and slee front bumpers. But it...
Hi everyone,
Went on some trails yesterday and scratched the hell out of my lx470. My question is, do they make anything like goat armor for the 100 series? Some form of magnetic armor. The one linked below is for 4runners and Tacoma’s, not land cruisers.
Something like this:
Truck body armor...
Hey,
When I first bought my 2006 lx470 there seemed to be zero rust. Even a week after buying I put it up on a local mechanics lift and it seemed clean. But, it was clear that the dealership used a rubberized undercoat to cover the whole bottom of the vehicle
So, I got a chance to see my rig...
Hey everyone!
So, I’m looking through the car fax of my 2006 LX470 and I do not see a service/replacement of the timing belt around 90 k. I do however see a service/replacement of the serpentine belt at 121k. Are these the same thing? I’m sitting around 143k miles and wondering should I rush...
Does anyone have the 2006 LX470 parts diagram? I am aware this could be an extensive set of pictures. Anything would help. There are some spare parts I need but I am having trouble identifying online.
Thanks
Hey All,
I know this sounds like a dumb question. But, before you rip me a new one, hear me out. It could be difficult for newbies to get their minds around even the simplest concepts. So, my question focuses around a few things that I have seen with similar anti rust products.
how should...
Hi everyone,
I’m considering a slee or 4x4labs rear bumper. It seems these are the two major providers of what I’m looking for. Mostly, I want a bumper or something to carry my tire and be able to use my back up camera. What do you guys recommend? And can you share your own rigs and how these...
Hey everyone,
I’ve been trying to find info on which brake kit to install on my 2006 LX470. They seem a bit rusty and old so I’d like to add some new life to them. I was thinking of upgrading to drilled and slotted rotors with new calipers and ceramic brakepads. What brand do you guys...
Hey everyone!
As of November 2019 I have been a proud owner of a 2006 Black LX470.
So, the mod bug has hit me and I figured it’s time to start a build thread. Being that I live in NYC I intend to go light and slow on the mods.
This is my daily commuter and I have to keep it street friendly...
Seems Toyota is planning on getting rid of the land cruiser in the US. Truth is land cruisers have become too much of a mall crawler. Bring back the ruggedness. Bring the 70 series to the US! I’d really hate to see it go. Interesting video linked above.
Hey everyone
So, I just received my weather tech mats in the mail and realized they don’t fit perfectly into the 2006 lx470 I have. I was wondering if any of you guys can post about how you have trimmed them to fit your 100 series. This is currently how they are sitting...
thanks

Hey all,
I know what your thinking. Another tire thread. But, I really am having trouble finding exactly the right information I need. Perhaps, I’m not looking in the right place. Anyhow. I’ve decided on BFG ko2s. And, I’ve also narrowed it down to one of these sizes: 275/70/18 or 285/65/18. I...
Hi everyone!
Living in the northeast it has been difficult to find such an old truck without rust. Luckily I happened to come across a beautifully maintained lx470 and a dealership that prides it’s self on rust maintenance and rust free cars. Anyway, I hope to enjoy this truck for years to come...
Hey everyone,
My name is lorenzo and I am considering purchasing a 2004 Toyota Land Cruiser. I am new to the forum and if this goes well I may be a long time member. Unfortunately I live in the rust belt of America and on top of that land cruisers are not very common here. However the lexus LX...
