    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?

    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...

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

    I've read through all the brake bleeding/adjustment threads multiple times and am still scratching my head here. About three weeks ago I lost pedal pressure and the brake warning light began lighting up with every depression of the pedal. Bled the system, checked all the lines and connections...

    77' FJ40 intro and vacuum(?) mystery..

    Hi all, This is a new to me 1977 "high altitude" model with original carb and intact emissions system that came to me from Colorado. The original 2F was pulled and rebuilt in 1996, 17K ago. Odo currently shows what I and the PO believe to be 132K. I haven't done a compression test yet, but the...

    SOLD Selling the 60. My craigslist ad (below) is fairly comprehensive - I'll post specific pictures on request. 1984 Toyota FJ60 Land Cruiser Re: the waxoyl on the chassis - this was preventative as I have been driving daily in the winter. It was not an attempt to cover anything up.

    Possible causes of blue smoke besides valve seals and piston rings?

    Background: 84' 60, recently resealed original head with 175k mated to donor block with 130k. De-smogged, jim c carb/dizzy, new lifters and timing gears. Runs/drives/accelerates great, smooth and quiet. Vacuum sits at 19-20 at idle. However, once the engine warms up, it gets pretty smokey...

    Crankshaft pulley - oil leak past seal

    Hi all, I do not have the pulley in front of me, so apologies for the lack of photo evidence at the moment. Here is a description of the issue: ('84 2F) There is a shallow, (longitudinal, not circumferential) groove worn into the crankshaft pulley that is allowing oil past the seal. Timing...

    Strange smell in cabin after aborted aux temp gauge install

    So I went to install a mechanical water temp gauge the other night and in the process seem to have ushered a strange new odor to the cabin.. Not a very exciting process - mounted the gauge, ran the capillary tubing through an existing grommet in the the firewall, removed the air filter...

    For Sale  Almost new tan SOR tuff duck seat covers F&R - NYC

    Decided to switch to the brown SOR covers. The fronts have been on the truck about two months, the rears about a week, but all have been essentially unused as the 60 has been in the shop getting a motor swap for about a month and a half. There are one or two smudges from the shop/install, but...

    Rebuilt 2F vs 3F-E conversion - cost vs function

    Howdy, Thanks to those who contributed to my previous blue smoke thread, but figured I should start a new one since that one has been bookended by the fact that I will need a complete rebuild or a new engine on my 84' FJ60 w/ 174k. Despite good compression numbers and a head refresh I'm burning...

    Intro, and blue smoke 5k post head rebuild

    Howdy 60 series forum, I recently bought an '84 FJ60 with 174k and a recently rebuilt top end (by Toyota in chicago) - sight unseen. Yes, I took the ebay plunge based on the rigs' set up, documentation, and general vibe. I will try and refrain from ranting about what I believe to be less than...

    Trade  Trade/for sale feeler - 1996 Nighshadow pearl/cloth w/118k

    I picked this up a few weeks ago on a whim, thinking it might be fun to have two 80's. As it turns out, its more redundant than fun, and with only one garage space and not a lot of free time I'm rethinking the notion of building two identical rigs simultaneously. I'm still waiting on the title...

    Pics / thoughts on 4x4 labs rear bumper on OME stock height springs?

    Strongly considering getting a basic 4x4 labs bumper without a swing out (for now) for my 96. Springs and shocks are OME stock height and about 1.5 years old. Has anyone run this bumper or similar on stock or OME stock height suspensions? From what I gather the weight lost from the stock...

    Noise gurus - help me diagnose this one

    Over the past few months, this sound - which I'd describe as a bubbling, creaking rattle emanating from what seems to be the top of the driver's side dash - has gotten more and more invasive. It doesn't appear until the engine is fully warmed up, and goes away when any throttle is applied. The...

    Oil seepage between trans and engine = rear main seal or..?

    Taking the 80 in to have some things addressed including what I assumed to be rear main seal and (minor) valve cover leak. After cleaning this spot off a few weeks ago its wet again. Could this be coming from somewhere other the rear main? Obviously I'd like to avoid paying to have the trans...
