1997

Hello, I am seeking advice about a vibration that has emerged while my 80-series LC is stopped with the engine running and in gear. At a cold strat with the vehicle in park or in gear there is no noticeable vibration. As the vehicle reaches operating temps an evident vibration develops when I...

Back Ground: Every November is our annual trip to Pismo Beach, CA. This started more than twenty years ago as the Surf n Turf Land Cruiser party. A four day event playing in the sand with every type of Toyota Land Cruiser/Pickup. It then morphed into Turf n Surf when the founder Jim Brantly...

Hey everyone, I recently picked up a new (to me) triple-locked 1997 Landcruiser with 225 thousand miles. I am new to this forum and to these vehicles, but I figured I would share some pictures since I've been reading up a good bit on here. It needs a little TLC but appears to be in pretty good...

Hello I’ve read all the threads on the FRP Top removal and have gotten into the process enough to start scratching my head and wondering if my 1997 Colombian FZJ73 (Fives manufactured top) is secured differently than the JDM and European spec information and trucks that I’ve been using as my...

I'm a bit heartbroken. My 1997 (U.S.) FJ80 that I've had since new now has two bad cylinders. It has 294K miles and has been a great machine. The rear two cylinders are getting no compression. It's time to move on, and I'm looking to figure out the rough value of the vehicle as-is. It is in...

I'm not sure if these threads are allowed so if they are not mods please delete or put it where it belongs. Title is pretty self explanatory, problem is mine is heavily modified and I do not really know where to start with the price. Here's everything I could come up with but I know I'm...

1997 Lexus LX450 - Headed to BAT for Auction This is the 4th 80-series I have owned and has been the best one yet. Bought it in 2019 from a collector in Atlanta when he was making room for a G-Wagon. It was bone stock and he had just completed an oil pump rebuild and knuckle rebuild. It is one...

I've had an issue with my 97' 40th (Auto A/C) since I've owned in that the heater control valve cable did not move. I initially thought the cable was broke or seized but have recently ruled that out as I've pulled enough of the bezel/controls/stereo to see and touch the other end of the...
