    Fluctuating coolant temperature

    I am trying to track down the cause of my fluctuating temperature. Over the past few months, I have been dealing with a lot of heating issues. The PHH went, the radiator split and a few other misc hoses were replaced. When I first start the 80, the truck warms up to about 140/150 according to...

    Driver's seat cushion bolstering / seat is uncomfortable

    Has anyone modified the bottom cushion seat bolstering? On my new truck the bolstering is hitting me on both sides and has kicked off some terrible sciatica. I love the truck otherwise but I can’t stand to drive it. And yes I test-drove it and no it didn’t bother me during the test drive. And...

    Overheated... now what?

    Yesterday after a short spin, my truck started to overheat. It went from normal temps to 280+ according to the Scangauge. I was able to get it home, I'm sure I should have just stopped driving when it happened, but I was close and there were other things going on at the time, which led me to...

    Coolant leak when cold

    Today when I start up the 80, I let it run for a little bit since it was cold. About 30 degrees. I came out about 10 mins later and there was a small puddle of coolant (or at least I assume it is coolant) under the car. It is brownish red. It was on the driver's side, kind of under the battery...

    Which lugs nuts ?

    Hey apologies for the JV level question but my 96 has security lug nuts for every lug nut. I wanted to swap them out to standard-issue so I bought some M12-1.50 Thread 13/16 with the washer which are supposed to fit a '96 rim. When I installed them the washer doesn't seem to seat on the rim. Any...

    Help interpreting Blackstone analysis

    I decided to get an analysis on my new to me FZJ80. I was wondering if someone could help me interpret the results. The most troubling is the presence of coolant in the oil. The previous owner had just completed a head gasket some I'm hoping that maybe some of the oil is just residual or maybe...

    Weird coolant leak

    I’m still working through baselining my 80, but today I noticed a leak by the battery box. All the hoses look good. I was hoping it might be power steering but I don’t think I’m that lucky. I just swap out the radiator cap to the a new one from Wits End. I start the truck up and I noticed a...

    Baselining my new to me 96 FZJ80 aka Thundercloud

    Hello - I am new to the Land Cruiser world. I just picked up a 96 FZJ80 3x locked with 189k. I purchased it from someone on the West coast and had it shipped to Boston. It is a little rougher condition than I had hoped, but it will get there.... slowly. The previous owner did the head gasket...

    Hose melting hood insulation

    Sorry for the noob post, but on my new to me FJ80 it looks like a hose (possibly the PCV) I getting hot and melting some of the hood insulation. The insulation is sagging a little bit, but I more wanted to identify the hose and make sure that it should be getting hot enough to burn some of the...

    Inconsistent brake pedal feel

    On my new to me '96 FJ80 the brake pedal is rather inconsistent. It starts off as soft, with a few pumps it becomes "normal" until the brake pedal is depressed then it falls and becomes soft. The previous owner says this is normal for FJ80s, I suspect something else is up. The past records...

    Compression test results for 97 FZJ80? What does it mean

    I'm thinking of purchasing a used LC (actually a LX450). I have the compression results and I want to get an opinion on what they mean. I am coming from a Land Rover 110 which I just sold as it was a basket case. My intention is to not get into something that needs a ton of work right away. I...

    Hey guys - I am about to pull the trigger on an '97 80 series and the one thing holding be back is the seats. I am coming for a Land Rover 110, so I'm not looking for super duper creature comforts here. But in the 80 I looked at I could literally feel the seat frame. which definitely aggravated...

    Land Rover to Land Cruiser

    Hello - I have owned Land Rovers for the last 20 years. I have had a bunch of models from Series IIA to a 110. My 110s engine recently died and that in combination with a few other issue has me thinking about selling and looking to get into a Land Cruiser. I guess I'm hoping that the Land...
