    Shark Fin Antenna Inadvertent Removal

    So, feel free to laugh and comment at any point in this story.... Wife was pulling her new Land Cruiser out of the garage yesterday morning and our automated garage door which is not currently automated had slid down literally 1/2” lower than tolerance would permit. The shark fin popped off...

    Best prices on 2019 200 series

    Time to trade wife’s 2010 LX. No problems but it’s our main family vehicle and want something newer for long trips. Looked at a new LX but it’s a bit more than we can do right now. What are the best deals you all getting on new 2019s without military, etc discount? I thought there was a sticky...

    Restoration Atlanta/ Birmingham area

    I picked up an 1976 FJ40 a few months ago. Absolutely love it. Mechanical seems great but the PO did the paint job himself. Oversprayed in some areas and under sprayed in others. I would love a once over on mechanical and the paint redone by a professional. I’m in East AL and can swing it by...

    Driver's side door & window control

    Ever since my wife took her truck (2010 LX 570) to the carwash about a month ago the driver's side door lock and window controls are malfunctioning. All other controls on the other doors function normally, so no problem with any actuators. The driver's side will roll down its own window, but...

    Pulls to the Right

    So I decided to swap my 2014 out for a 2016. Navy with terra, 60 miles. Great looking truck. Got it for dealer cost - hold back and all. Got what I wanted for my truck. Put on my 34" Toyo MTs from the 2014 as part of the deal. Did fine on the way home from TN. Local dealer put on front end...

    Wanted  Sage 40th, Low Mile

    I have been looking for a Sage 40th edition with low miles (~100k). I know, I know - me and everybody else.... I am located in Alabama, but will travel for the right one. No/ little rust. Would prefer lockers, but this is not a deal breaker. I am willing to pay the appropriate price for the...

    Bushing size

    I am running a 2.5'' OME lift on a 1986 FJ60. Bushings are showing some wear. Does anybody know the size and best place to pick them up? Looked at some old posts but no clear answers. Thanks.

    What would you do?

    I just traded my wife's 100 series in on an 80. It's in great shape, never wrecked. The only issue is there was a crease with a deep scratch on the driver's side rear door. The dealership (Honda) agreed to fix it as part of the purchase. The issue is that the PO smeared touch up paint on it...

    Stupid Cubby tray

    Maybe I'm the only one who has done this, but.... I recently picked up a 1997 80 series and am planning on doing the CDL switch as one of my first projects. I decided to go ahead and pull the stereo-A/C panel. In the process I broke the tabs that lock in the worthless cubby tray above the...

    1986 FJ60 clutch slave cylinder

    So I ordered in a clutch slave cylinder for my 1986 fj60 from Olathe Toyota. To date they had good service and good prices. The old slave cylinder was not adjustable. From what I have read on this site it should not be. When I got my replacement in, it is adjustable and I don't see any way...

    Flashers turn on when it's wet

    My flashers/ hazards come on in my 2006 100 series whenever it rains or I go through a car wash. It happens only after I turn off the truck. As soon as I start the engine again the flashers stop. I don't know if the windshield has ever been replaced (asked in a previous similar thread)...

    Forgive me - Another vacuum line question on a desmogged 60

    Carried my 1986 60 to a local mechanic who has an excellent reputation (recommended by even the older mechanics). He did some misc repairs and honestly, the thing is spinning like a top. But I did notice that he made some changes to my vacuum lines. One of which involved removing the VCV...

    2F to 3FE swap

    I am considering doing the 3FE head on 2F block swap. Anybody else having trouble getting the link to work under the tech section? I am trying to assess if this would be a huge pain or not. I know the topic has been covered many times - most end up referencing the Arron Thompson link, which to...

    Clutch slave cylinder

    I've read a couple dozen of these threads and have yet to find my answer. My shifts are kind of rough. No gear grinding, no problems exiting, just on entrance. I bled my slave cylinder and shifts are better, maybe 50% at best. What's the next step - new slave cylinder, clutch adjustment or...
