Hello, I need to replace the suspension in my LC. I’m planning on getting an ARB rear bumper because mine is falling off. I don’t want any sag on the rear end but want suspension that is comfortable. I’m already looking at new bump stops for my LC. I was planning on getting OEM suspension and...

Hello, I’ve noticed that after driving my 100 series the engine stays warm for extended periods of times after turning it off. It stays at the running temp (180 degrees Fahrenheit) for maybe 30 min to an hour. I just replaced the thermostat and it has plenty of coolant. I need to do the timing...

Hello. Longtime lurker first time posting. Apologize if the question has already been asked or if I am posting in the wrong thread. I swear I have read almost every thread on tire size for the 100 series but cannot find a solid answer. My cruiser has a 2.5" OME lift and ARB front bumper. I want...

Hello, I recently got a 2000 LC. It has been a Cali truck all its life except its spent the past couple years in Maine. There was almost no rust on the frame, just on the welds and the axel had some decent rust in some spots. I spent time getting away most of the rust then painting it with...

Hello, I need help, I recently bought a 2000 LC and have been chipping away at repairs. I noticed that when the car is sitting it drips coolant and when starting it drips a lot fast. Although its not an alarming amount I still would like to fix it. Another werid thing that happens is when I...

Hello, this is my first post so please forgive me if there are any issues. I am having an odd issue with my vehicle occasionally dying out at low RPM when I turn the steering wheel, and I am hoping someone may be able to give me some suggestions. I also have very limited mechanical knowledge...

Hey guys, I have a 2018 Long Bed Taco and I was hoping to replace the bed because of the originals ware and tare. I bought a newer replacement bed and was hoping to install it myself. I got as far as removing the tailgate and noticed this might be more work that previously expected. Is there a...

This recent year I've installed a few new aftermarket additions to my FZJ80, and with that came a lot of extra weight (mainly in the rear) that my current springs don't appreciate too much. Without extra cargo in the back there is a slight difference in wheel-well clearance when compared to the...

Hello, I have a 2013 LX570 141K miles. I get this weird rattling noise at low RPMs. I'm using Ow20 oil and overall there are no issues with drivability and this noise is very annoying. It usually happens when I'm going really slow or idling like at a drive-through or something but it might even...

Hi, looking for torsion bar & droop advice. My 99 LC is converted from AHC to OME 2". My (front) center hub to fender measurement is 51.5cm (20.27”) and full droop is 59.5cm (23.42”) so I have 8cm (3.15”) of droop which is currently limited by the shocks, I can get another 2cm (0.78") droop out...

Fellow cruiser heads, I need advice on a little problem I have ran into whilst installing a OME/Dakar 2” kit. I got the front all bolted on and it was a breeze, just time consuming. On the back I hit a snag with a shackle bolt getting stuck and need some advice for people that have overcome...

I adjusted the valves to spec and timed it with the light gun at idle (many thanks to responses to my questions on how to get this far). Previous owner had done a "partial desmog" according to people who saw pictures. Now that the rebuild is done I want to know where I need to run vac tubes to...

Howdy land cruiser lovers, I have been looking at a troopy online and it is the dream vehicle. LHD, dual tanks, lockers, 1HZ and a reasonable prize tag. It was previously a UN vehicle, sat for many years then restored by the owner. I do not have the ability to look at it in person but have...

So I have found a 1994 green triple locked truck. Check engine light is on, didn’t get a code. Speedo isn’t working. Underside is what. I really want advice on. Axles and frame have been painted. Seem solid. biggest issue is when I engage the lockers the dash light just keeps blinking. They...

Edit: I got a video of what might be the problem, can anyone confirm I am on the right track? My 06 LX has play in the drivers seat, it just started, you can push it down like 1” and it springs back up, it’s like it’s secure up on the front of the track, and has play on the rear of the...

Hey guys, long time lurker first time poster from the down under. I'm chasing so advice or sources to a guide to speaker upgrades in my 1992 80 series. I'm looking to upgrade my speakers and put a small subwoofer in as I'm a big music person.im not sure if year model has changed much in factory...

Hello, I'm considering the purchase of a 1982 LHD HJ47 pickup Landcruiser originally from Costa Rica, now titled in the States. The vehicle seems clean as I have seen it in person, yet I do not have any pictures. It features 70 series turn signals and bed, has been repainted, and is a South...

From what I can gather, the 74 will line up with all the frame mounts. I gather the holes will also line up with my oem seat brackets, tranny cover, roll bar. Is that correct? The dash will be a little different as it doesn't have the seatbelt light and the defrost vent holes on each side...

Hey guys read a lot about the different shocks and while being on ICON Stage 2 first I'm currently rather stepping away due to maintainance. Weight info: Our LC will be getting a Dissent front bumper with a syn. rope winch, adding ~160lbs. The rear will also get a bumper with wing out for the...

Hi Mudders! I’ve had Colorado on my bucket list for a long time and am finally planing a trip this summer. I’m looking for a little advice and the mud community has always been super helpful. I want to focus on the Alpine Loop area but maybe that’s just because I don’t know any better. I want...
