    Seat track sticking out - any advice?

    Anyone else have the black track/slider (not sure what it's called) stick out from their rear of their front seats? Any fixes? The seat is still fully functional and moves under power but I can't get the black track to slide back under the cushion area (without applying so much force that it...

    FREE  SOR Grey Seat Covers for FJ62 / FJ60

    Bought these a long time ago (15 years?) from Spector and only used one seat cover bottom. So, what we have here is one complete seat (top and bottom) cover and the top for a second seat. I think it originally came with a lower metal hoop ring for the hog rings but that is long gone. I'm sure...

    Lessons from the field … get rid of that security lug nut

    Sorry for the long blog post… but if I can’t tell this tale to you guys, who can I tell it to? Last week a fellow Cruiser owner and I were exploring a BC ghost town with our families. Our rigs were in good shape, had basic tools, spare fluids, etc. A week prior, I bought 5 new BFG KO/2s (this...

    Straightening bent rims?

    Anyone have any luck getting their bent OEM rims straightened? Are the straightened ones as strong as they were originally (or strong enough to not worry too much about it)? My parked rig had a freak meeting with an out of control tractor and I'm trying to track down one 16" OEM wheel for my...

    Wanted  One Stock 16" LX470 / LC100 wheel (Seattle)

    Had my wheel / tire destroyed over the weekend and need to find a new spare ASAP. Does not need to have a tire on it. I just need the wheel (my tire is under warranty by Discount). Will pay for shipping but hoping to find something close to Seattle so I can pick up. If you have one in good...

    Upgrading LX470 Nakamichi stereo / screen dilemna - budget, costs?

    Bought my 2001 LX470 back in September (came from the world of 60 series) and pretty much love it. Have a long-term plan to do various upgrades / mods over time as budget allows (from bumpers to sliders, tires, etc). Want this to be my forever daily driver/overlanding rig and basically hold onto...

    What flew off my LX470?

    This morning, I drove the 2000 LX470 up I-90 to go skiing. As I got closer to Snoqualmie Pass, the wind started really gusting (30-50mph). I was cruising along (60 mph) when I started to get this really loud vibration noise from the front right, sounding sorta like plastic clapping on metal...

    What do the SAS buttons do? (LX470)

    SAS switch? by ballardcruiser posted Sep 25, 2016 at 11:27 AMStill getting used to my new-to-me 2000 LX470. Think I've figured out all the switches, electronics, etc (except the weird DVD / VHS system in the back), baselining the fluids, wheel bearings next. Anyhow, what the heck do the two SAS...

    Advice: 16 or 18 wheels on a 2000 Lexus LX470 w/ Duratrac

    Looking for a bit of advice here. I recently bought a 2000 LX470 locally. Runs great, everything works (incl AHC), but it needs new tires. I have the stock 16" wheels that came with it but a buddy is also letting me try out a set of 18" wheels that came from a 200-series LC. Fit is great, no...

    LX470 paint touchup advice needed

    Last week was a big one... I sold my daily driver FJ62 and bought a 2000 LX 470. Truck is clean, passed the PPI, a decent price, rust free, 150k miles on it. Even the AHC works (though I'll be installing OME in November and pulling it). Needless to say, I'm stoked. Anyhow, it wasn't until I...

    Looking for a decent daily driver Land Cruiser or LX470 somewhere near the Seattle area (or a day or two roadtrip away). Would prefer a 2003+ but open to other years. Hoping to find something under $12k if possible. Stock is fine, higher mileage is fine, as long as the usual service has been...

    Wanted  FJ62 Transmission (and possibly 3FE)

    Need to replace the transmission on my 1988 FJ62. If anyone has a used, solid one in working order for sale please let me know cost, location, mileage. Would also take a 3FE FJ62 engine + A440F transmission off you if both were relatively low miles and running fine. Let me know... I'm...

    Another FJ62 Output shaft question (real time help needed)

    Need some real time help on the decision making here... I took the FJ62 on a family vacation (don't worry, we have a second car up here, just wanted extra room) and we're around 100 miles away from home, in the Cascades... with the kid and the dog. The FJ62's occasional clunk (which...

    Stereo Install Killed My Alternator ?

    Decided to get myself a Christmas present and finally upgrade my crappy CD player in the FJ62. Drove my car (which was running fine) to a local stereo place, picked out a unit and had them do the install. Just a simple 200 dollar CD receiver... car already had a working amp under the...

    Cleaning oil stains off the driveway?

    Anyone have any tips or must-have products for fixing the damage done by a leaky Cruiser to a perfectly nice driveway? Fiancee is getting upset. I think the FJ62 is going to end up on the street (no, I haven't fixed the leak). Driveway is made of paver stones. Do any of the chemical/liquid...

    Need some advice ... A leaky transfer case repair

    Searched through a ton of leaking transfer case threads but am still wondering what -- if any -- steps this one and a half eaten banana mechanic should do at this point with his slightly leaking transfer case.... Can you guys walk me through how you'd proceed? Rig is an 88 FJ62. Motor oil...

    Real Time 3FE help! Tune Up gone bad...

    This weekend I did a tune up on my FJ62 ... OEM plugs, wires, distro cap and rotor. Checked the gap on plugs and triple checked the plug wires / order. Car stated yesterday and seemed to be running fine. No hesitation, it sounded smooth. Today I attempted to actually move it. Rig has barely...

    Can you plug a laptop into the cigarette lighter?

    I know this is a pretty trivial tech question, but here goes. My Dell laptop came with a cigarette lighter charger cord. I've never used it, but I still have it. I know the 60 series stock wiring for the headlights is a bit on the weak side. So what about the cigarette lighter? Could I power...

    Noob valve cover question...

    I'm sure this is common knowledge, but... If I need to remove the valve cover (to fix the oil plug patch, adjust the valves, whatever) is it necessary to have a replacement, new valve cover gasket handy? Or, 99% of the time, do you guys just reuse the gasket that's on there? I don't want...
