    For Sale  CO: FJ40 patina bib lights and inside rear view mirror arm

    Early FJ40 patina bib lights and an inside rear view mirror arm. I did get one or both of the lights to work, so they aren't corroded or damaged beyond repair, but are weary. A few missing light face screws from one unit. See photos. $30 + shipping for the whole lot. PM me. Steve (Colo...

    SOLD  CO: 1982 Fj60 carburetor - no jets, otherwise complete

    This is a 1982 FJ60 carburetor that has had the jets removed. I was present when it was taken off the truck, and watched another guy carefully remove the jets for a project. It is otherwise complete, as seen in the photos. Lots of great parts, or install jets and run it. It has been boxed in my...

    Walker Muffler installation - some tips

    With some trepidation, I installed a Walker muffler on my '99 LX. $118 from Rock Auto, but I got an un-used one from a fellow MUDder. My OEM muffler was leaking water through rust holes at 300K+ miles. The good news: that the muffler basically fits and can work, and is quiet - maybe not 100% as...

    Ignition coil - '99 LX versus LC - different part numbers and prices

    1999 Land Cruiser ignition coil lists for $156 and a 1999 LX 470 coil lists for $121. Both different part numbers, but the engines are obviously the same. I bought a Denso from Rock Auto for $51, so I didn't buy either of these OEMs, but can anyone speculate why there are 2 different part...

    Fuel pump wiring failure - and the fix

    The breakdown: Having just completed a 2200 mile trip to Indianapolis, IN and back, my 100 was running great, until the next day. On that day, I drove north of town (in a blizzard and salt/slop storm) and I heard a faint 'click' while driving and the engine died at 55 mph. I peeled over to the...

    100 series = Rock Star (story of a Colorado off-road trip)

    You all know this (100 series rock!), but I took my '99 LX (316K miles) four-wheeling for the first time in southwest Colo. last week, and it performed extremely well. It out-performed my FJ62 in most ways, which surprised me. My brother and I have taken my '89 FJ62 on past trips, and had no...

    Replacing upper ball joint boot

    Upper ball joint boots were shot (314K miles) and I bought the kit at the Toyota dealer ($15 list price, each) and installed it while replacing the CV axle. Very straightforward, but the new 'clip' included with the kit (the slinky-like boot retainer) is mild steel, and very flimsy and instantly...

    Noise/shock when front wheel drops

    My '99 has a properly set up and working AHC. No leaks, passes tests, springs replaced, t-bars adjusted, 13 fluid graduations difference from high to low. Still have the original globes at 312K miles. My front lower shock bushings are shot (some play in them) - I have replacements but have not...

    Locking rear axle into LX 470 - what's needed?

    A junkyard is pulling a locking rear from a '00 Land Cruiser for me, along with the dash switch and 'anything else I need'. What else do I need to swap the entire axle into my '99 LX 470? Is there a locker computer and/or a different computer needed than is in my Lexus? I have no idea if my LX...

    RTH - Alternator connector stuck

    I have spent 30 minutes trying to get the black 3-wire alternator connector off my LX alternator. I have tried every imaginable combination of vise grip, needlenose, etc. I sprayed it with WD40 in case it was slightly corroded or packed with silt. Yes, I know it has a tab that must be pressed...

    Where to put 'owners packet' LX 470

    I have the factory leather(ette) packet that holds the owners manual and other paperwork, but it's slightly too tall to fit in the glove box and have the glove box door shut. How can this be? Am I missing something obvious? I want it in the vehicle, but can't find a place to stash it. Where did...

    SOLD  CO: 100-series rear mud flaps

    Used rear mud flaps from my '99 LX 470. The passenger flap is slightly warped backward, but I heated the driver's side with a heat gun and bent it back successfully, so the same could be done with the passenger's flap. No rips, cuts, etc. These would be great if you wanted a pair to trim and...

    Shifter window delamination

    It seems like all the LX 470s I see have delamination in the shifter window. Any cheap fix for this or just buy a new OEM part? Picture shamelessly stolen from Pablo Cruise's radio thread.

    Using factory CV boot kit on aftermarket axles?

    My '99 LX 470 has had more than a few CV axles put on it. I see rotted boots on axles installed by the PO in 2016. There isn't a lot of play in the joint, nor is there clicking, so the aftermarket axle guts appear to be ok. I just bought an OEM Toyota CV boot kit. Any chance it will fit the...

    New 100 owner, long time cruiserhead

    On a whim, I bought a '99 LX470 on Monday. Partly because it's perhaps the cleanest used vehicle I have ever seen. 309K miles, no less. Runs/drives pretty much like new. The PO flushed and calibrated the AHC system with Techstream, even to the point of replacing the rear springs and installing...

    Wiring ARB bumper lights (in the bumper)

    I have an old style ARB front bumper with the turn signals in the ARB bumper. I would like to wire those up to my FJ62 turn signals or marker lights without using tap-a-lines or other bogus methods. Has anyone done this cleanly? Does anyone sell a harness? ARB's instructions don't seem to...

    Bantam T3-C (Gambles?) build thread

    My brother landed this trailer from an estate for cheap and traded it to me for one of my pickup bed trailers. I have carefully looked it over, and it's a late-model Bantam T3-C, apparently re-sold by Gambles (dept. store). The data plate was intact and is a trimmed and reversed Bantam plate...
