Excellent stock land cruiser with original red paint, 3x locked, 1996 (so OBD2) - the most desirable version. I've owned many land cruisers, and this one is sheer joy to have and drive.
Some wear (so you don't have to worry about driving it), Arizona dessert truck w/ no meaningful rust on...
Hey Folks - just got a new (to me) ‘96 FZJ.
Don’t know much about the service history, but noticing two noises:
(1) when I make hard right turns (at speed) there’s a vibrating buzz noise that comes out of the left side. Almost sounds like when you’re on the highway and drive over the rumble...
Hey Guys -
I've got a wind / bug deflector mounted on the hood of my LX450. It's got a crack in the plastic (luckily only goes 3/4 of the way down). [photos below]
Before I start glopping on JB Weld, wanted to check: Does anyone have a quick / preferred fix method for plastics like this in a...
Hey Guys - Just got this awesome LX450 back from Slee (pic below for fun). But would be exceptionally grateful for your help diagnosing a noise.
Driving it home the first time, everything's great, except there's a very, very faint high-pitched noise:
- comes on at higher RPM (above >3)
- can...
UPDATE: Decided to go ahead and get some of the work + fluids done at Slee. Will update listing when truck is available for sale.
Good:
- Factory Triple Locked
- Clean Title
- Interior in nice condition, except a separation in driver's seat cushion
- No cracks in dash
- No undercarriage frame...
Hi Friends -
Follow-on question: I've got a nice low-mileage LX450 at Slee right now getting some work baselining done. They say the rear main seal has a leak (supposedly common). It's a $1k repair -- $850 of labor removing the transmission to install a $60 gasket. Is this something worth...
Hi Friends -
I've got a nice low-mileage LX450 at Slee right now getting some work done. It's got an OME 2.5" lift (couple yrs old). Talking with the guys there, considering upgrading to the BP-51. Supposedly it's "incredible" but worried about it being (a) too soft and loosing that "truck"...
Hi Guys - having some trouble with MUD messaging.
Usually there's a button to "start conversation" with a fellow member, but now that's disappeared. I upgraded to a paid silver-star account hoping that would fix it, but it hasn't.
Any advice? Is there something I'm missing?
Here's what...
Quick update - ended up buying 2x '97 80's instead. A great deal came up on MUD, so went with that.

Hey Guys -- wanted to get some sage perspective.
Through a very special connection, I have the opportunity to potentially order a custom Land Cruiser. Recently I've...
Hey Guys - I've been on the hunt for a lifer vehicle. My dad's had a '94 FJ80 since I was a kid, and I'm looking for one of my own.
This is going to be my 1-vehicle. So wiling to prioritize quality > over price. Tried with a couple eBay sellers that turned out to be rusty duds. So now turning...
Hi Guys - was looking at a '94 FJ80 coming out of Michigan. Just got back pics from the mechanic doing the inspection.
Pros: exterior and interior looks clean as hell.
Cons: looks like some (1) rust on the under carriage, and.... there's some (2) white slime in the engine oil cap.
I'd truly...
Hi Guys - I'm looking for a great mechanic near my place in the NYC Suburbs. (+/- 100 miles)
Getting a stock '94 FJ80 in a couple weeks. Looking for someone excellent and fairly-priced to install an OME lift, maybe rock guards, and a couple smaller mods. I considered doing it myself, but I'd...
Hi Guys -
Just got a super clean stock '94 FJ80. This is my first car I'm considering modifying for overlanding. Looking at the 2.5" OME lift + 285/75/16s BFG All-terrain KO2's -- seems like a solid combination that's highly recommended on other threads.
95 days of 100, this'll be a highway /...
