Hoping somebody here can provide a recommendation. We are on a massive road trip and I’m running into some issues with my GX 470. I need to get it into a shop near Sarasota Florida to have a CV axle replaced, and identify noise coming from the front end. Might also try to coordinate the...
I just completed an air bag delete and used the Metal Tech kit to switch over to a traditional suspension setup.
The parts I used were new takeoffs from a 2017 4Runner SR5 that I have been holding on to for a while. Everything went smooth EXCEPT for the final ride heigh. Front it up a bit...
Searched but didn't see anything covering this. I am lifting my GX470 with the Eibach kit and may need a step option for the kiddos to be able to get in (its already a bit tough with larger tires).
Right now I don't have running boards and don't need sliders. Will the Nerf side steps for a...
Hey there, y'all. Been a hot minute since I have contributed here but thought I would throw out my experience with the VenomRex wheels on my GX470 since I only see one post here with a reference.
I found this wheel tire combo for sale locally (VenomRex VR-602 with Falken Wildpeak AT3W in...
Hello all,
My M101CDN is at the fab shop awaiting a solid bumper design. Does anyone here have any plans or examples of how they did it? The bumper needs to have a 2" receiver hitch (for bike rack) and a swing out tire carrier.
Would love to see how others have done this!

Just thought I would quickly put together a thread with the history of my trailer and detail the things I have done. I now have a clean slate to start with and plan to make some simple mods in the coming months/years.
My trailer came over in a shipment of unused trailers from Canada purchased...
Hey all,
Once again, I am coming to the forum for some needed advice. I will be picking up my new lid from the fabricator soon. They also stripped the trailer and primed everything. I bought some Krylon Ultra Matte Olive Drab and Black spray paint. I am debating treatments prior to spray...
So, what's the best method to widen the fenders on an M101CDN? Is it easiest to just scrap the stock ones and bend news ones to fit the mounts? I opted for hub adapters to run FJ Cruiser wheels and now the wheels stick way out.
My lid is going to be made tomorrow but I can't seem to find where someone posted the gauge sheet metal used to keep it rigid but not too heavy. Mine will be hinged at the tongue side. Does the face on that side need to be reinforced regardless of the gauge metal used or will it be stiff...
If you were to use a hinge like this:
with the thought that the lid could be removed, how would one keep the lid from sliding off the hinges on a slope?
The struts may provided some lateral support but may not be enough to keep the hinges from separating. Normally this type of hinge is used...
Toyota OEM hub conversion on M101
With help from the forum, I have started work on an M101 CDN. I replaced the hubs with 6x5.5 in order to use FJ Cruiser wheels (aluminum). Problem is, the studs are not the same thread as OEM Toyota so I can't use Toyota lug nuts. The lugs that came with the...
I am looking at buying a 2004 Land Cruiser from an individual. Hes a straight shooter. He took the 100 in for its 90,000 mile service and this was the report:
Toyota finished the timing belt for $548.00; the water pump was ok & seals too. So good news there, however, my service tech did...
Its quite a drive for me from WI. I would be grateful to hear an honest opinion of the vehicle from someone in the area. Price is right, miles are right, looks good, but you never know.
Used 2003 Toyota Land Cruiser For Sale | Grand Rapids MI
I am looking for a 2003+ Toyota Land Cruiser or Lexus LX470 in the Midwest. Preferably under 100,000 miles. Depending on condition, max budget of $20,000. If you know of one for sale in this range, let me know! I regularly search the dealer used listings but haven't found the right one there...
I'm looking for a 2003+ LC/LX with less than 100,000 miles for under $20,000. I live in WI and there is nothing within 500 miles. I did find this one out in Vegas, but obviously cannot easily take a look at it. I'd fly out and drive back if it was worth it.
2003 Toyota Land Cruiser, $19,992...
two FJ Cruiser alum. wheels: perfect for a trailer
I am gauging interest. I just bought four FJ wheels (17" aluminum) and only need two for the trailer they are going on. Any interest in one or both wheels. I would want $200 + shipping costs for both of them or make me an offer for just one...
Its getting dropped off today. My plan is pretty mild; lid, new receiver, new lights. I like a lot of what I've seen on here. No plans for a RTT as we plan on sleeping in the truck bed along with a truck tent for changing and such. I hope I can get something for the wheels and tires he has...
I am officially obsessed with the M101/M416 trailers and the great setups that I found on this site. I got the OK from my wife to go ahead and get a trailer to build or an already built trailer. Problem is, none are in the Midwest. I live in WI but would make a trip to pick up the right one...
