    Master Window Switch Panel

    Is it just me, or why do I feel like such a chump? Replacement master window switch assemblies for the 1998 - 2002 trucks are listed at between $450 and $650. Any other switch assembly panel (land cruiser, 2003-2008 LX470 and virtually ANY other vehicle) can be found for under $200...

    Another ABS Brake Failure

    My wife just finished coming down from one of the local mountain passes when the ABS light turns on and the beeper alarm started flashing. She had the presence of mind to pull off the freeway at the next exit and into a parking lot. The last push of the break pedal went straight to the...

    Salvaged Title 'Cruiser

    Back in November my wife got into an accident in our '98 'cruiser. A woman in a late model outback tagged our rear quarter panel while making a random lane change. After fishtailing across all lanes of traffic, hitting the median and 2 other cars, my wife was able to bring the truck to a...

    LED Hedlight conversions?

    Anyone out there done a LED headlight conversion? I came across these guys: http://hidconcept.com/index.php?l=product_detail&p=119 and wondered if anyone had any reports, reviews and/or opinions on these things. $200 seems to be a fair price (I saw what appeared to be the identical thing on...

    New 99 Hundie

    I've been in the 80's forums for a few years now and finally made the jump to the 100's! I picked up a '98 'Cruiser with 114 K for a hair over $8500. It had a rebuilt title (reflected in the purchase price) but I had a hard time finding any problems other than a slightly discolored DS door...

    What problems would I run into swapping my '93 80's wheels and tires (31" BFG's) onto a 100 series?

    Weird 100 Series Pad Wear

    Anyone else been getting funky wear patterns on their 100 series brake pads? (See attached pics). Any idea as to why things are wearing this way? As you can see, I've got a nice 1/8 inch ridge at the outer edge of the pad and a corresponding groove in the rotor. As much as I love new...

    ABS Controller

    Does anyone know if the ABS Controller can be interchanged with any other Toyota makes / models. I'm working on a 99 LX470 that needs a new ABS controller but there are no wrecking yards with a used one in stock.

    1995 for $2650?

    Apparently it just got traded in.... it's got 249 K on the thing and has a bashed bumper. It does have lockers though... :D It's being sold at a car lot. It's got lots of peace bumper stickers and appears to have been owned by a hippie. (supposedly the first owner) Is it worth it?!?

    Clean FJ 60 and FJ 62 Frames

    Oil Pressure Light and Pressure

    My oil pressure light will turn on when I'm down to the "add one quart" mark on the dipstick. My oil pressure gauge is still showing pressure though. Is this normal? Also, my oil pressure gauge drops below the "low" mark when idling but comes up to mid-gauge when driving. No oil pressure...

    2" Lift OME Shocks with stock ride height?

    I found 4 OME shocks for a 2" lift on sale on CL for $160. I need new shocks on my '93 but I've got stock ride height. He also has the front coils for the 2" lift for $50 but no rears. Any thoughts? Can I make these shocks work on my stock ride height??? Should I get the coils too?

    A/C Clutch Question

    I just replaced the HG on my FZJ 80 and now have a problem where the magnetic clutch won't engage when the inside A/C button is pressed. The light on the dash turns on and a relay behind the glove box clicks... but no power to the AC clutch... Did I miss a connection somewhere? (the compressor...

    HELP! Nuts In My Pan?

    While changing my HG the other day I was using my 99 cent feeler guage to scoop the goop out from around the edges of the cylinders and as I get to the #1 hole I hear a "pop" and... tic, tic-tic, tic... the nut that holds the guage together pop's off and falls straight into the wide open timing...

    VAF Problems

    I did a dumb thing and pulled the two screws and connections out of the VAF where the wires plug in. :whoops:. My truck won't start now (coughs once and dies). When I pulled off the plug into the sensor, it will start but will die when you either blip the throttle or put it in gear...

    What will fit?

    My birfs are shot (clicking badly with the lovely build-up around the balls) and I'm sourcing some new ones. What years will work in my 1992 FJ 80? (non ABS). I've got a couple sources: 1) Fine spline birfs and inner axles removed from a 2/79 landcruiser FJ40. Same birfields as minitrucks...

    AWD on the 80's

    Can a FJ-62 tranny be a direct replacement in a AWD '92 - '92 FJ80? I think they are both A440F trannys. Are there any known compatibility issues? Thanks. Tim

    Tranny Compatabilities?

    Ok... so the '91-'92 cruizers have the A440F tranny... The 93-95 have the A442F and the '96 have the A343F. The question I have is this: What are the mounting / compatibility differences between these models. I know the A442F (and I assume the A343F) are electronically controled by the...

    New guy with a not so new engine swap topic... (sorry)

    My name's Tim and I've got me a REAL slow '92 cruizer. I've been doing a lot of research into a 1UZ-FE swap and am looking for any thoughts, links or tech info that could help. Here's what I've got so far: 1UZFE with a rear sump (from a SC400), and a bell housing from a 2UZFE cruiser...
