    2023 to 2019 grill swap?

    For me its a more OG vibe and the black lower panel makes the front end seem more compact/cohesive. Not sold on the idea yet - just musing.

    2023 to 2019 grill swap?

    Hi all, Apologies if there is already a thread on this..considering picking up a 2023 GX460 and wondering if the new grill can be swapped with the 2019 and older style without too much modification. Anyone done this?

    No crank start

    @TNOverlander @jonheld I am embarrassed to admit this..but the + terminal (a cheapo until the OEM gets here) wasn't making strong contact with the post. OY VEY!

    No crank start

    Poor choice of words - what I'm referring to is disconnecting and then reconnecting the battery

    No crank start

    @jonheld Swapped in a known good battery with the same results. I'm leaning toward this being due to a bad ground somewhere based on the battery needing to be reset after each attempt at starting. My electrical knowledge is limited so forgive the assumption, but wouldn't I be encountering a...

    No crank start

    Thought I'd follow up here - I replaced the fusible link (old one looked fine) and positive terminal connector (badly corroded) with no change in my post plug/wire change no-start situation. Turn the key, everything comes on as it should in the first two positions, but when turned to start, I...

    No crank start

    Same exact issue after replacing plugs and wires. Any update on this?

    What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week?

    Sold it out for a day...they settled on the pic where it looks most like an industrial-grade refrigerator

    Irregular knock at idle - with audio

    So, the fuel pump appears to be fine. Took the valve cover off and ran the motor - nothing unusual. Pushrods looked fine, clearances were within spec, and the rocker arm was oiling everything as it should. Drained the oil and dropped the pan - again, nothing was evident. Zero debris in the...

    Irregular knock at idle - with audio

    Update - I apologize for my hasty conclusion that the dipstick "DEFINITELY" smelled of gas. comparing the smell and appearance of the 40's oil with that from my 80, I'm less certain about the presence of fuel. There is a slight difference in odor, but I think what I was initially sure was fuel...

    Irregular knock at idle - with audio

    Appreciate all the input - I'll start investigating asap. Mark, can you - or anyone - explain how a failing pump could cause a knocking sound itself? Would it just be worn internals vibrating with the rotation of the motor? Doubt thats the source, unfortunately, but I'd like to understand the...

    Irregular knock at idle - with audio

    So if this is the culprit the knock is a result of a bad pump itself, or...damage in the crankcase from diluted oil?

    Irregular knock at idle - with audio

    Just sniffed the stick - DEFINITELY smells of gasoline..

    Irregular knock at idle - with audio

    Not that I've noticed

    Irregular knock at idle - with audio

    Pretty sure I've been hearing some variation of this sound since I got the truck in April, but recently it's either gotten louder or I've been paying way too close attention to it, or both. Two oil changes with 15-40 in 2000 miles, good pressure, and no weirdness in the pan. The sound...

    What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week?

    Installed cityracer's plug and play OEM fog light kit and headed out to find some epic fog. Also, painted the dash knobs with semi-decent results

    77' FJ40 - Two successive new OEM brake MC failures, or...?

    That is very possible and concerning. Guess I’ll find out after I remove and open the one that’s on the 40 now..I’ll report back. For reference, what is the function of that bolt?

    77' FJ40 - Two successive new OEM brake MC failures, or...?

    Well there’s the problem with MC #1...How does that even happen?

    77' FJ40 - Two successive new OEM brake MC failures, or...?

    Both were reportedly bench bled although that was the one step I wasn't present for. I'll disassemble and have a look.
