    91 power steering troubles

    This saga started in July on an offroad wheeling trip. Pushed the girl pretty hard and afterwards I noticed the high pressure hose was leaking. Ordered a Gates replacement from rock auto. I had to pull the radiator, shroud and fan to do it but I got it done. I flushed the fluid and put...

    Best donor vehicle for an LS swap

    I have searched already and the posts seem to be centered around the scenario of someone came upon vehicle x that was wrecked and they use it for the donor. I am looking at this differently. I would like to get a road worthy truck and down the line use it for a swap into my 91 FJ80. For those...

    Napa Platinum/Wix xp filter problem

    I had read a couple of posts discussing problems with the Wix 51515 xp which is the same as the Napa platinum I believe. I had bought a couple of the napa platinum parts a year ago and had installed the second one in December at about 140000 miles. I started noticing lifter/valve noise after...

    Toyota head gasket vs non Toyota head gasket

    I have a 1991 with a 3fe that was rebuilt at a very good machine shop. There was only about 5000 miles on the rebuild and I noticed steam coming out the exhaust. I diagnosed it to be a leaking head gasket which would allow coolant into the 4 and 5 cylinders. The compression was still good...

    Testing O2 sensors per the manual on a 1991

    I have a rich running 3fe with brand new Denso O2 sensors. I was running the test and cannot get the described voltage jumps while the engine is running. the only jump I get is one initial jump when I hit the accelerator. No series of jumps like the manual says. I connect TE1 and E1 and have...

    1991 coolant temp sensor plug?

    Does anyone know the best place to buy one? I thought I had found one on Amazon but when it arrived it was a water time switch plug.

    New(to me) 1991 Land Cruiser dead cylinders

    Okay I just bought this thing and it has a freshly rebuilt 3FE. The engine has been desmogged and and has had a miss. I checked the timing and for vacuum leaks and both are good. Now I decided to go old school. I got some rubberized gloves and started pulling spark plug wires with it...

    2000 Landcruiser wheels and tires Baton Rouge, LA

    Set of 4 16 inch 100 series wheels, center caps, and lug nuts. All wheels are in great condition with no curb rash or significant scratches. Tires are old but could be used. No leaks or other damage just 1/8 inch tread or so. My LC was totaled with the spare Tundra wheels on it so I have...

    Making a 4runner ride more like a Land Cruiser

    I just recently totaled my 2000 LC (idiot turned left in front of me) and I could not find a suitable replacement for the money that I got so I took my wife's 2006 4wd 4runner. We got her a Lexus RX330 so she is happy and I am reasonable happy because the 4runner is 6 years newer with only...

    Is this going to be totaled?

    Ford Explorer turned left in front of me when I was doing 30-35. The driver side front corner of my LC hit the passenger side front corner of the Explorer. The a/c condenser and radiator were crushed. The hood wont open so I cant see what else under the hood is damaged. The adjuster has not...

    ABS/TRAC intermittant motor sound

    I am hoping that someone can shed some light on my situation. I have a 2000 LC with 125,000 miles and every once and a while I hear something running for a second or two. It usually occurs while backing out of my drive way or a parking space. It does occur at parking lot speeds moving forward...

    To lift or not to lift...

    I am looking for advice as to how to accomplish my goals with my LC. I want to avoid lifting the truck because I don’t ever plan to run bigger than 33s and want to put as little stress on the drivetrain as possible. I do, however, plan on running heavier front and rear bumpers and winch. I...

    Broken front wheel stud, how to change?

    Well it is not really broken. It is seized. While trying to remove the wheel to repack the front bearing, one of the lug bolts backed off a couple of turns and would not go any further. Whoever put the wheels on last must have used an impact gun. I can get the bolt off with my trusty impact...

    Which is more capable offroad?

    We have 2 4WD Toyotas, 2000 Land Cruiser and 2006 4Runner. My question is which is more capable in stock form? Maybe just a change of tire size and type. The LC will handle a little bigger tire stock but the 4Runner is lighter and has ATRAC like the LC. I know asking this question in this...

    This thing is awesome! I must tell you I was wondering what all the hub bub was about but after a 300 mile round trip in the LC I now know why. How does a 7 year old truck with over 100,000 miles ride and drive this good? It rides/drives better than my wifes 2006 4Runner with only 11,000...

    I bought it.

    This is it. The timing belt had not been changed so I got them to do the timing belt change and the waterpump as part of the deal. $16,266 including the tbelt and waterpump. There was a few little scratches here and there but overall pretty clean. When I turn the key it takes a second are so...

    Thinking of a LC

    I am a recent Toyota convert and am considering a 2000 LC. I previously drove Jeeps until 2006 when I talked my wife into buying a 2006 4WD 4Runner. We did not opt for the 3rd row seat because we never thought we would have a 3rd kid but surprise, she is due in October. Long and short is that...
