    Passenger door not flush

    I realized this today. When I close the passenger door, the door closes such that the light is off, but when I look outside it's not completely flush with the body. When I make a sharp turn or go over a speedbump, the door light will go on for a brief second and then go off, which shows that the...

    Pressing brake pedal a lot and ABS light alarm

    I replaced my rear brakes just now. I turned the car on and then pressed the brake pedal many times really quickly (10-15) and then the ABS warning light would go on and the alarm sounds. If I do not press the brake pedal for a couple seconds the alarm goes off. The manual says this is normal...

    What to use clean interior door handles

    On the driver and passenger side of the interior, the door handle and arm rest area has gotten black over the years. I was thinking of using rubbing alcohol or dish washing soap on a rag but I'm not sure what material the door-handle/arm-rest is as it's not really solid plastic or leather. It's...

    Question on brake pad replacement and compressing piston

    I was doing attempting to replace my rear brakes today and found that after I removed the old pads that the piston inside has extended out and needs to be pushed back in the fit in the new pads (which are thicker). I did some searching online and found that for some cars, the pistons had to...

    Any ideas on mounting extra gas containers? (stock)

    I plan to go on a trip sometime soon and would like to carry tanks of extra gas. I don't have a rear bumper yet and don't want to store the gas inside as it'll stink. Any ideas on how I can mount these things? I was thinking on the stock roof mounts somehow.

    Color code for front bumper?

    I'm looking for the paint code for the front bumper of a toyota land cruiser 2000. I know from this webpage that my main body color (black) is code 202: Toyota Land Cruiser Touchup Paint Codes, Image Galleries, Brochure and TV Commercial Archives But the website does not list the colors for the...

    Recommendations on jack lift and stand?

    I'm looking for some stands and a floor jack to lift the front or rear of the vehicle when I'm doing torsion adjustments or installing springs and such. I get a little paranoid so I'd like to have a lift and two safety stands on the sides. I'm not sure I really trust the reviews on Amazon so...

    Are these the fill/drain holes on the Diff (pics)?

    Here's a picture of the rear differential before I get started changing the fluid. I just wanted to make sure if the red circle is the fill hole and the blue is the drain hole. I didn't have the right socket size so I'll be picking up a 24mm tomorrow.

    Is the Tundra V8 similar to the Land Cruiser V8? Saw a tutorial.

    I have been researching timing belt replacement stuff for a while now since I have been wanting to replace it myself for the satisfaction. The write-ups and picture shots in the FAQ are very helpful but it's still hard to imagine the entire process without a video. Today I stumbled across a nice...

    Afraid the truck won't fit in the garage after...

    The stock land cruiser is scary tall already. If I adjust the torsion bars to lift the front, and get some 285's, I am wondering if I can get into those 6 feet whatever clearance garages. I know garages vary in height but I am curious what heights your land cruisers are up to now after all the...

    Transfer case question

    Looking at the exploded views, is the transfer case separate from the transmission? In other words if I want to change all the fluids, the transmission fluid is separate from the transfer? Also, are the transfer modes (the little knob with the H-N-L) connected to the transfer case only? And...

    So what's a list of front bumpers available

    I did some searching around and this is what I came up with so far. I have a '00 landy. ARB Deluxe Bull Bar Toyota Land Cruiser 100 Series 1998-02 ARB Deluxe Bull Bar Toyota Land Cruiser 100 Series 2003-07 (I heard this one fits on the '00 models but would it require me to drill holes...

    Squeeky rear suspension over speed bumps

    I know it's coming from the rear because I was driving over speed bumps the other day and had my windows down. When I try jumping up and down on the trunk it didn't reproduce the sound. Probably because I'm not that heavy. Anyways, which parts should I look into troubleshooting? I'm guessing...

    Lifting my cruiser from stock. Last couple questions.

    Did a lot of research on mud last night and seem to have a good idea of how everything works (Gunney's torsion post was extremely helpful!) and how they mechanically connect together. Before I get under car I just want to make sure I have the concepts down. For reference I have a stock 2000...

    So I need to replace my antenna. Question on replacement

    My antenna was only able to move up around 7 inches and then it I can hear the motor cranking but the antenna wouldn't move up. So I yanked the antenna out and everything came off. After I took the antenna out, I compressed the antenna all the way down and found that the plastic gear extended...

    New to offroading. What to do first with my 2000 LC

    It's stock at the moment. I want to get it offroading but am not looking to modify it very fast. I'm in the process of removing those running bars and looking for some good sliders. I was then thinking about replacing the tires. I was wondering if these will fit the stock rims without any...
