I went on my first ever time off-roading today ever, and my first time off roading in my new Fj cruiser. I live in Canton ga. Today we went to a place called Pine log in white ga. It was a totally awesome experience and I'd love any suggestions on great places to take my cruiser on some new...
I've searched on this site for tire evaluations but the search option just brings up unrelated crap. I love my Michelin 275-70-16 but no longer available. We use this car in rain and highway snow and off road minor trips but not serious mudding. I most want traction in rain. The only problem...
I am planning my install for a new auxiliary battery on the RH side.
What is the best route to install the cables to connect the batteries?
Around the front of the radiator? Or around the back firewall but this will add an extra few feet of cabling?
How do you remove the black plastic clips...
(see Pix) Factory Tundra Rims - Great condition. Best Offer!
When I first purchased my '08 LC200 it had these factory Tundra rims on it. I opted to do the XD black rims, and have no use for keeping these OEM Tundra rims.
Best offer, I'm south of Denver.
They are in really good shape. See...
I live in Myanmar and drive a 1980 BJ44.
Some of the places I go are quite challenging with real bad or no roads, driving on shallow river beds and pretty steep climbs.
I sometimes feel that I could do with more engine power. My car is a 1980 BJ44 with original 1B diesel engine. I have upgraded...
I just picked up a 2000 lx with 160k miles on it and am loving it. Going in i had planned on a mountain of PM work all up front so i dont have to think about it again for a while since im likely only putting 5k per year max on this vehicle.
So one of the things on the list is a suspension...
I'm a long time Yota guy. Lots of pickups and early 4Runners over the years. I'm nearing 50 and finally looking for a clean FJ40 for a restoration project. Must run and drive along the way - I am looking for something without major rust issues requiring repairs.
I am also embarking on a 10...
I've kind of got a bee in the bonnet--no pun intended--about adding louvers to the Ugly Duckling 1970 FJ40 we are building for heat egress.
Might get louvers punched locally, but more likely will add louver panels. Something like the attached photo--just not so huge! Maybe two panels of 7 or 11...

Installed a second marine battery in my cruiser and did all the battery cables myself with a hydraulic crimper. The terminal for the 1/0 AWG winch cable is copper and the 2 AWG wires for the dual battery system are tin plated copper.
I am already noticing small amounts of white oxide due to...

my alternator on my 69 fj40 died. I have been looking online for a replacement but everything I find is $250. I found some on amazon for half that price but I am not 100% positive that they are correct. Anyways, I figured somebody on here could point me in the right direction of a good replacement.
I purchased a 03 LX 470 a couple months back to be my DD. One of the items pointed out when I had my mechanic take a look at it was the leaking shocks and likely issues with the AHC system, so I went into knowing I would need to do something about the suspension/shocks/tires.
In light of...
While searching the web for a set of half doors for my 45, I found this deal. $184 for the pair. Basically $100 cheaper that anywhere else. Ordered a set and after about a week I got the notification that they shipped and are on the way.
Just wanted to pass the deal on to my fellow FJ45...

My 2000 Cruiser has 220K on it and before Overlanding this year, I want to replace all the vacuum lines.
Where is the best source and quality vacuum hose? , other than ordering all the individual ones from the dealer.
Curious what everyone is using and if they are happy with the quality...
Hi,
I have a 99 Land Cruiser and compared to my daily driver (2005 Acura TL) I absolutely hate the headlights. Once you get used to good HID's, going back to halogens is painful.
I am purchasing a TJM T-13 bull bar bumper in a couple weeks, and planned on putting some good lights in the...
Picked up a nice 96 FJ80 but with stock gears and 37's. First thing I want to do is get her locked (at least rear) and re-geared to 5.91.
Willing to drive up to 2 days each way to get it done. Suggestions?
