blown

What's up everyone, been a while since I've posted here! I've gotten the itch to work on an older yota again, and now have my sights set on a FJ60. Looking to buy one that's got a blown motor and is mainly complete, want to do a H55 & V8 swap. If it doesn't have the motor, tranny or transfer...

Well it finally happened - Stopped for gas, checked the oil (like I do every fill up) and there's a little foam on the dipstick, foam on the oil cap, and a little wisp of steam escaping the oil fill hole. I think 282K is a pretty good run but its not done and I'm going to fix it and get it back...

Hey guys, anyone know of a good toyota/mechanic in the northern California area?

1991 LJ78 2L-TE, Automatic Transmission I'm embarrassed to admit it, but I unknowingly ran my engine low on oil - not sure how long. Could have been low for a couple weeks. I changed the oil about a month ago (filled to proper level at that time) and have done mostly city driving since then...

Hey guys, Hoping you can help, I have a 1996 Land cruiser 80 series 24 valve. I've owned it for about a year now, when i purchased it it had high egts, puffed a lot of soot and was at 16psi boost but it had pretty solid power. However, recently I've turned down the fuel and its egts are still...

Hey all, I’ve got a blown inner axle seal on the passenger side of my 94 LC. It’s pissing gear oil from the birf do I’m pretty certain that’s the problem. It’s only got about 10,000 miles on a full axle rebuild so I’m a little concerned that it blew out so fast. Question is : is it ok to...

Hey guys, so we've been in Colombia now for about 2 weeks, after shipping the truck from Mexico, we went through some pretty sticky mud in the somewhat dry lakebeds of the Guajira desert and did some dune driving and hitting mountain mud roads. But overall, no real difficult or heavy 4x4. I...

Just finished the timing belt on my newly purchased 07 470. Everything went fine and I’ve driven for about 150 miles but I don’t drive very long trips, 10-15 minutes each trip never in traffic. First long drive I took it out, and while sitting in bumper-to-bumper traffic I noticed my AC quit...

Hi All - I have a 1996 LX450 and a section of the hard brake line that runs from the front to the back blew out. It is the area under the car that lines up with the front section of the rear leaf springs (hopefully that makes sense). I am in the Lake Tahoe area and my mechanic says they have...

Are you looking for a Series 100… without a working engine? Got an engine you are holding onto for the right truck? Want a project? Looking for a Slee suspension with lots of extra parts attached? Truck has under 164k miles. Off brand timing belt, put in before I purchased truck, blew and...

Hi, I’ve got a 2010 gx460 with a blown motor. I’ve been looking for a donor motor and found a 2017 engine that was local with much lower miles. I was wondering if that would work or not

Turbocharger on my 92 HDJ81 went pop offroading sending large shards and lots of oil on metal down the intake tube and into my front mount intercooler, possibly into engine. Made the mistake of firing it back up again after shutting it off to examine and saw oil pouring out of the turbo on to...

I upgraded to slcFJ62's wiring harness and all was well for a few years. Then recently I noticed that the center two hi beams on my 62 had blown a fuse in his custom fuse box. Trouble shooting wasn't going well so I pulled the entire custom harness out. Before directing my attention to his...

Newb question that I couldn't find an answer to. I have a 2004 LX470 with the Mark Levinson system. The subwoofer sounds awful. Like it is rattling around and farting. If I remove it and tape off the connectors, is there any danger to the amp or system? I fully intend to repair the speaker...

In going over my new to me 2000 LC with 222k miles, I found both CV boots blown. One recently as it has fresh grease around it, but the other...has no grease around it, and I do not know how long it has been that way. I have not started disassembly to repair and replace yet, as I am doing...

1994 Fzj80 with 277k miles recently blew a head gasket due to a upper hose that split open while on the road. The owner is my neighbor and he just wants to get rid of it. Body and interior is in decent shape with 3rd row seat but no lockers. It is still running but steam starts to come out of...

The 15amp fuse that, among other things, controls the Amp, Fuel and Temperature gauges in my '78 FJ45 keeps blowing. Help!

I just bough a 1997 Land Cruiser with 140k miles. The head gasket blew 2.5 years ago and has been sitting ever since. I drained the oil the other day and the oil wasn't all that brown and milkshakey, however there was coolant in the oil. I got about 12 quarts of oil/coolant out when I pulled the...

I just bought a 2001 LC with 201k miles that has a blown head gasket. I have replaced a few head gaskets before on various makes and models of cars so I was not too scared of buying something that needed some serious work. That and the vast knowledge of members and good threads on this site...
