drivetrain

Howdy, Looking for an ugly but reliable LX 470. Must be a LX, 98/99 would be choice of year(s), and white/black preferred but not too picky on color. If the frame and drivetrain are good, I’m good. Not worried about damaged panels, mismatched wheels/tires, missing or torn interior bits, etc. If...

Have there been any major reliability concerns so far? I have seen some issues with hard shifts of the transmission but otherwise it seems there have been minimal issues so far? I am on the fence on whether to get a LX600 now (2024) or get a 200 and wait a few more years. If you look over at the...

I drove about 1,200 miles on a recent road trip. After about 600 miles to the destination I started getting a noise right at 40 mph, with a slight vibration. It starts at 40 and then continues up until highway speed. Constant slight humming, depending on vehicle speed, not RPM. For some...

Looking for a fellow 40 owner in central/South Austin ideally to take a gander and listen to my 40 and help me ensure I’m not f’ing anything up since I’m actually driving her a ton now. Drivetrain and engine tune is what I am mostly having questions about. I’ve been tweaking the carb (Weber...

I seem to have an odd variant of the typical clunk…curious if anyone has experienced and diagnosed this. With the VSC off the clunk is non existent. With it on, I get a clunk, that feels like the front driver area, when I shift in and out of park. When I am driving it is very distinct if I...

I have a 1980 FJ40. It has had the original trany & transfer case until recently where I needed lower gearing for crawling. My question is that I have lengthened the drivetrain about 4-4 1/2”. There was no crossmember to support the drivetrain, will extending it out the 4” make much of a...

Hey Cruiser heads! I've been experiencing a thumping noise coming from my 1993 80 series LC the last 8ish months. I can only really hear it between while driving between 20-50mph. I've replaced a ton of parts including bushings, bearings, flanges, and ujoints at both the front and rear end of...

Trying to reinstall everything from the transfer case to the front wheels. I've had virtually no success finding torque specs for the GX470 specifically. I'm convinced I'm looking in the wrong places because I cannot find this information anywhere and I cannot be the only person to ever ask...

I bought this to swap into my FJ40, but had to move cross country and couldn't take my truck. It test ran when I bought it; haven't done anything with it in a couple years. I was told the donor was a mid-80's BJ, but it was just a rolling chassis when I bought it. Comes with: engine...

Hello IH8Mudders. Sorry for the non traditional approach here, but I have an immaculate 1990 FJ 62 (Body and interior at least). It has the typical250kmi syndrome = 3FE/A440F just plain done for. I’m suspecting transfer case and front/rear diff at end of service life soon as well. I’m looking...

I sure could use some help. My 1991 Land Cruiser (180K miles) has had a driveline clunk since before I bought it 6 years ago. After reading posts on this site I've tried several cures, like lubing the splined shaft, new lube in the front and rear diffs, nothing seemed to work. It always clunks...

Hey guys, Im gearing everything up to drop a 5.3L LM7 mated with a 4L60E transmission into my 76 FJ40. My rig didn't come with a drivetrain at all, so I do not have the original T-case. I am trying to figure out what transfer case I should buy to finish this swap with. I will be using the stock...

***Probably saw ad in wrong section that was my bad You will be buying what I half way started, the motor from the top picture is now sitting on the frame of the second picture. That frame itself is a donor from another 78' truck, that truck was modified so some things on the frame not so...

Hey guys, I've searched the FAQ and every possible related thread, but all I got is "don't over torque or you will bend the bracket". Well, turns out the force is minimal because my brackets are bent around every bolt hole. At no point in tightening did they ever feel tight enough to where they...

Hello team, This is my first time posting here on the forum, although I have been reading them for over 3 years now. I have some issues which I am trying to figure out for sometime now and I don't know the exact culprit, partly because I am quite illiterate when it comes to vehicles. BTW I am...

My plans to convert my fj62 to a manual have changed... So after sourcing everything needed for the conversion, I now need to sell them! Donor 60 had a rusted frame 1985 FJ60. Running/driving when pulled. Here is what I have and would prefer to sell as complete set; Engine- complete with carb...
