    3-FE High CO Emissions

    For the first time my 92/3-FE (308K) has failed emissions here in Utah. I have read through all the threads I could find on the issue, and it seems that all of the remedies for them are parts that have already been replaced on my truck. The emissions test is broken down into a couple different...

    AC Not Engaging Warm Air

    I have read through several threads on here about different issues of AC problems. Didn't find one that answered my question. I have a 99 LX470 with 288k, the AC worked fine last summer, but is now just blowing warm air, front and rear. The AC switch lights up, and stays illuminated (does not...

    3-FE Throttle Position Sensor Reading

    My truck has not been herself after a HG replacement last year. Like a Land Cruiser should, it still fires up each time, and plugs along like champ. I know how this engine feels when its happy, and it is not there yet. I wanted to check the TPS sensor, since I am not certain if it was checked...

    LX470 AUX Light with High Beam Cutoff

    I am in the process of wiring in a LED lightbar to my wife's 2000 LX470. I have the switch wired in, the relay, and I am currently trying to solve the issue of the relay +12v trigger wire. I want this tied to the high beams, so I don't need to scramble to find multiple switches to kill the...

    Metal Debris on Transfer Case Plug Magnet

    I changed all the fluids on my FJ80 this morning. All driveline mechanical stuff has been behaving normally. When I pulled the plug in the T case, the pickup magnet had metal pieces, not just the normal filings. It looks like this thing got chewed up a little before it made it to the magnet. I...

    FJ80 Uphill/High RPM/Heavy Load Power Loss

    This has been a pretty tough year for my 1992 3-FE FJ80. Outlined on other threads, the engine has basically been given a complete refresh, new HG, pretty much new ignition system, ect ect. I am not going to bog down the list of parts replaced upfront on this to hopefully reduce the red...

    3-FE Warm Start Woes

    I have an 80, but I am not getting much traction on that side. I have read a bunch of the threads on this forum related to this issue, but I have not found the smoking gun yet. This issue is not related to starting, like most others if started cold, it runs fine the whole time. If turned off and...

    92 FJ80 Runs Great Cold, Horrible if started warm

    The Patient: 1992 FJ80 3-FE 302K I started a new thread since the previous one I have been working on is so much different than the new symptoms. A brief history, after a failed distributor situation, I had the head gasket replaced and completed an engine "refresh". Engine has not been running...

    Advice on 3-FE Timing, Head Gasket, and Overheating

    Some background, my 92 has 302K, the temperature gauge has never moved above half way. A couple weeks ago I drove home, turned off the truck and a couple hours later it would crank but not start. I traced the issue to the distributor/rotor/cap which were all in poor shape. I decided to replace...

    ARB 4" Bumper Fog Light LED Upgrade

    This is definitely the beta version of this project, but so far I am really happy with the results. The reviews of the ARB fog lights are pretty "meh", and fitting in another brand of light isn't exactly straight forward. I got these lights off amazon (LINK HERE) for around $55. They are...

    Correct 98-02 Factory Trailer Wiring Plug Size

    I searched through about 9 pages of research results, and other than a few references, I could not find an exact answer to this question. I have a 2000 LX470, did not come with a factory tow package. I understand that it is pre-wired to accept a plug-and-play wiring harness for a 4-pin...

    Vibration when cornering at speed

    Hello all, spend most of my time in the 80 section, so this might be my first post here. I am working on my wife's 2000 LX470 which has about 250k. I searched through about 10 pages of search results, but I could not find my problem. I have a very notable vibration which I can feel in the...

    knuckle Click, sounds like an auto locker

    I read through 3 pages of search results, didn't find what I was hunting for. My truck has been through a lot the last 3 weeks, including 2 weekends in Moab and the CruiserFest trail ride. I rebuilt my knuckles last year with the kit from Cruiser Outfitters, birfields looked good at the time. I...

    3-FE Engine Hose Identification Help

    This weekend I was replacing my front sway bar bushings and noticed a hose that looks like it will blow at any moment. It is falling apart and soft and gummy. I have a road trip next weekend, and want to replace it before the inevitable happens. I searched mud and google, but could not find the...

    POLL: Bolt on Land Rover Discovery Seat Adapter

    This subject has been covered many times, and I have brought this up before. I have recently had a little more time to dedicate to this project. The issue is this, most of our seats are showing their age, and options for a replacement/upgrade are currently limited. I have chosen the LR Discovery...

    Front Axles--While I am in there.

    Hey guys, I wanted to start by thanking everyone for all the awesome advice I have been given on this forum, you all are awesome. I was hoping for some advice about the brakes and axle seals. Keep in mind, though I wish to do everything as right as I can, my champagne projects are on a beer...

    Helping hand for some beer?

    Hey guys, I am in the process of getting my 80 ready to move out to Utah and tow a small Uhaul. I have worked my way though much of what I could get done in my driveway here with hand tools. I am now in the process of giving her new fluids, I am passively flushing the transmission, I have...

    3-FE 80 Radiator- Replace/Repair/ or Keep?

    My belts were beyond stretched and barely turning the water pump. I decided to do the water pump while I was in there, which meant taking out the radiator. I don't want to go back in there again if I don't have to so here is my question. I have not had any problems with overheating, but I do...

    Isolating Grounding Issue NEED HELP

    I have had my '92 80 for about a year now and she has been very well behaved until the last couple of weeks. The issue started small, there was a bit of a crackle or pop in the rear sub on occasion with a bump, then the whole radio would cut out and restart, then everything on that fuse (the...
