    180k Service Necessary?

    Hey folks! I currently have my LX470 in the shop getting brakes fixed. My LX is right at 181K miles, the service guy at the Lexus dealership told me about the 180k service etc... Problem is, my wife and I are not working so spending extra money is not something we're trying to do. However...

    Looking for Chicago Mechanic 100 series

    I posted this thread in the 100 series forum and appears my mechanic may not know what he’s doing. Can anyone recommend a good mechanic to work on my LX 470? Much appreciated!

    2002 LX 470 - Mechanic Recommendations

    Hey everyone - I have a couple of estimates from my local mechanic with a list of items he suggests needing repairs. Local guy by all accounts (my experience, reviews etc...) is honest and fair. We've been going to him for a couple years now after being gouged and cheated by my local Toyota...

    2011 LX vs 2015 LX - trading in my 2002 LX

    I realize there are a ton of threads on similar topics and I do apologize if you're annoyed. I've read a ton of those threads and maybe I'm just at the point of paralysis by analysis. BUT, I am looking at 2 local LX 570s that are $14k difference in price and I'm having trouble deciding. I...

    Center Differential, VSC Trac & VSC Off lights all illuminated

    Hey Guys, I've seen many posts on the VSC Trac and VSC Off lights being illuminated but I have those as well as the Center Differential light all on at the moment. They all came on simultaneously last night as I was pulling in the garage. As I was turning into the garage, my LX470 kind of...

    Is there a 'best' year for FJs?

    I currently drive a 1989 FJ62 and I'm thinking of upgrading to the FJ cruiser. I've loved these things since the day the went on the market and always wanted one. I think now is the time. As much as I'd love to 4x4, I'd primarily use this as a DD with some camping sprinkled in. I don't...

    4WD Indicators - 1997 FJ80

    I searched and couldn't find a quick and simple answer to the following: What are the various 4WD indicators for an 80 series (1997 in my case) LC? Pardon my ignorance on the matter. I personally drive an 89 FJ-62 and this is the family's first FJ80. I bought it last spring for my wife but...

    Toyota Dealerships Performing Maintenance on 60s

    This is probably a stupid question. Do Toyota dealerships typically perform maintenance on the 60 series? Since these vehicles are 25+ years old, I wasn't sure. I've been taking my 62 to a local shop and they constantly disappoint. I realize the cost may be higher going through a dealership...

    How do you like your FJ Cruiser?

    Hey everyone. I own 2 Land Cruisers (FJ62 and the 100 series) but I've always wanted an FJ40. When the FJ cruisers were introduced, I instantly loved them. I really want an FJ but I don't know anyone who owns one, so I thought I'd ask some fellow cruiser heads. How do you like your FJ...

    Window Wipers Stay On

    Has anyone ever encountered this issue? Ran some errands this afternoon and ended with a carwash - the automatic kind. Later on, I go out to grab a bite and as soon as I start the engine, the wipers start going. Obviously, my first reaction is to turn them off thinking I bumped the wiper arm...

    Sunroof Repair Cost - LX470

    Does anyone know an approximate cost to have a sunroof repaired on a 1999 LX470? A quick google search has me thinking this is potentially a $3k+ fix (if it's a motor etc...). I'm not sure what is wrong, but I'm curious what the "worst case scenario" cost is, if anyone knows.

    Body Style changes by year

    Does anybody have a good resource that outlines the body style changes in the 100 series (and LX 470) by year? I searched the Slee newbie guide and I don't see this called out anywhere. For instance, the 1998s have a boxier look to me than the 2000s but I want to confirm this. In general...

    Best Pricing Resource?

    I've been using Edmunds for 13 years and have always had success with it as far as accuracy. Recently, after a lot of shopping around for the right 100 series and seeing prices all over the place, I've noticed that NADA and Kelly Blue Book have different prices than Edmunds. Mainly, Edmunds...

    Research for my first 100 Series

    Hey fellas. I've done a lot of searching on here and have read such great info. I've been debating for a few days between the 80 and 100 and have settled on the 100. I have a FJ62 myself and now my wife wants a Cruiser. This will be her daily driver/kid-mobile, so I'm confident that the 100...

    Wanted  FJ80 with low miles

    After purchasing my first Cruiser - an FJ62 - last summer. My wife and I are now looking for an FJ80 to replace our family car, currently a Hyundai Sonata. While I am a little nervous selling a 6 year old sedan with only 50k miles for a vehicle approaching 20 years old with considerable more...

    FJ 62 LOUD noise from engine

    Last week I'm driving down the Interstate and suddenly it starts making a LOUD gutteral sound, almost like the muffler is bad. Me and a co-worker lift the hood and he points out a piece that appears to be missing. Above the manifold there is a hole that appears to be missing a plug. This...

    Mid 90s 80 series

    Hello folks, As an owner of an FJ-62 with the 3FE engine, I know very little about the 80 series Cruisers. I'm hoping to have a couple questions answered. First, it is my understanding that any 80 series made after 1993 has the 1FZ-FE engine. I guess my first question: is that an...
