Hi all,
Had a rather stressful drive from NJ to MD today. This was the longest drive I've taken in the truck since I got it.
Problem: truck needs constant steering adjustment, which I'd be ok with if that was the only thing. It's a lifted 7,000lb truck after all. But when going to pass another...
Has anyone wired the new LED fogs that are provided by Rhino4x4? They provided a harness but it does not appear to be a plug and play sort of thing. I'm in the middle of installation and would love to get these functional. I assume these are capable of integrating with the factory steering wheel...

I bought this rust-free 4Runner as the pandemic was really kicking into high gear last spring. It spent over 32 years of its life in Arizona before coming to Long Island NY for a short period, then into my hands to NJ last year. My original idea was to have a truck I...
Hi all,
I installed a 12Volt Solutions remote starter with the iPhone app add-on a few weeks ago on my 2021 HE LC. Worked fine on both the key fob and my app. Doors lock, unlock, start, the works.
Some background for full disclosure. Got the truck back from the dealer the other day. They were...
Hi all,
I had to remove the factory roof rack to install a new Prinsu low profile rack last year. In a couple spots the threaded hole had rusted through the roof. So I was left with a couple small holes. I was in a pinch and since my Cruiser is too tall to fit in my garage I ended up using -...
Barely used. 4 of the tires have 900 miles on them. The 5th was the spare with 0 miles. Came off of my 2021 Heritage Landcruiser. NOTE: the wheel is not included. :)
$750 OBO. Prefer local pickup as shipping these things would be a pain.

Hi all,
Intermittent issue here. When I lock the truck the mirrors fold in. Sometimes the passenger mirror will not fold back out. I can manually move it out, but it'll just flop frontwards and back so that's not really a solution at all as the mirror is unusable. Took the truck to the dealer to...
2021 HE vs 1997 40th Anniversary. I love them both equally. Just picked up the '21 today. My first new Landcruiser, but my 8th one owned.
The Hertage definitely needs a lift and bigger tires. The stock ones are just funny.
Hi all,
I've been working on my new-to-me 87 22RE 4Runner since I got it in early June. Had a hard start issue which appears mostly resolved. I say mostly because I've never owned a 22RE before and don't know what's "normal" for startup. But it used to require me to feather the gas pedal while...
Hi everyone,
I just bought my first 4Runner, a 1987 5spd with 163K miles in great overall shape. Was an AZ truck for 31.5 of it's 33 years so minimal rust and I'm happy. Since NJ DMV is closed until who knows when, I want to try and resolve one issue myself while the truck is hanging out in the...

Local pick up only. Will not ship. They are free to anyone who wants 'em.
Tires are junk, but rims are in nice shape. I had an FJ62 project that is now long gone and I just need these out of my garage.

hi guys,
I’m trying to install the new oil pressure sending unit and the threads are evidently not matching up with the hole in the block. Is it possible the threads on the Dakota sending unit are standard while the hole in the block is metric?
New tires arrived today, all five are getting replaced. The truck is going from a weekend driver to near-daily driver. Fresh knuckle rebuild is done.
Option 1) My gut tells me to be these tires mounted the hard way - remove all five wheels from the truck, borrow a pickup truck, then drive the...
I've completed the tear down of my knuckles, received my new inner axle shafts, and I thought I was ready to rock this weekend to reassemble.
Alas, I need new axle shaft C clips for the birf connection.
Anyone got 2? I'd need them mailed priority to 08619 or 08501 and I'm fine with whatever...
hi all,
I’m knee deep into a knuckle rebuild on my 97. Currently waiting for new inner axles as the DS was scored around the oil seal.
Anyway, I've removed the DS birf from the axle. I cleaned the birf using gasoline so now it's squeaky clean. However, I'm concerned that when I repack them with...
Hey all,
So I started tearing into my axle maintenance project today in preparation for the rebuild this weekend. I bought a kit from Onur and got everything except new inner axles and birfs. I had no clicking whatsoever so I was confident (over-confident?) that my axles would be fine.
It's a...
Hi all,
So I took my new-to-me 40 out today for it's longest run ever under my possession. Ran great this morning. Drove it straight to an exhaust shop to get the muffler replaced. Sounds much better without the holy muffler.
On the drive home from the office, however, about halfway through I...
Hi all,
Was farting around in my 71 40 this afternoon trying to see if anything jumped out at me while troubleshooting (I use that term lightly in this case) a non-functional fuel gauge and got curious. I removed a panel from the back of the middle seat and noticed this hose. There was an...
Hi guys,
I recently got a pair of LED headlights for my 71. Went to install them yesterday and noticed the adapter in my truck is pretty foreign looking and doesn't match the adapter on the light. Has anyone managed to find an adapter?
My connection:
Ok all,
I finally registered and plated the 40, a 71 FST with F engine & 3 spd trans. I wanted to list my first impressions and get input from other 40 owners on ideas to remedy or general comments.
1) A few times it nearly stalled when taking off in 1st gear. I had to press the clutch in and...
