Hey everyone, I’ve got an 80 Series Land Cruiser with an automatic transmission, and I often need to use low range for steep hill climbs when off-roading. My question is: if I’m climbing a steep hill and it’s too much for the car, causing it to roll backward, what’s the safest way to reverse...

I recently purchased a 1999 Land Cruiser 100 series with 135,000 miles on it. The truck came from an estate, and has only been driven 10,000 miles in the past 10 years. Over all the truck has been well taken care of, always garage kept and no rust or other issues that I am aware of. I am in the...

Guys sorry I already asked this in the past. I converted my 80 to part time 4wd when i was living in Georgia. Now I am in Montana and kind of wish I had the full time 4WD when driving around on snow covered roads. I grew up in the northeast and i am used to driving in the snow there. But...

I had a weird electrical issue while driving today in the snow. Vehicle started fine with remote start but I noticed the low beams didn't work. I did not have time to trouble shoot but I have aux lights that can double as headlights so I used those. About 15 minutes into driving the radio...

LX570. every frigin time i take a dipstick reading it is off +/- a quart. a week ago, it showed i was way low. Added 3/4 quart, and it just barely made it up to where it indicates. Checked again 2 days later, and it was below the reading level, so i added a full quart. then a week later i...

Hi, I have a problem with my 1HD-FT, ran out of diesel and now it’s idling bad and while driving it’s even worse. Max rpm between 1200-1800 Changed diesel filter, took out diesel armature from the tank, cleaned the pre-filter, drained the tank and cleaned the inside of the fuel lines. Any...

Can someone tell me how to permanently turn off the LDA in a 2021? I somehow turned this on and the constant beeping is driving me nuts. Thanks and happy thanksgiving.

Literally drove my 2019 570, six hours, to trade for a 2022 600. Both Luxury trims. I had great sorrow parting with my 570 until about 15 minutes into driving the 600 back home. While the two models share the same basic shape, the 600 is a complete redesign otherwise, and you quickly notice...

Well…..I’m calling it done! Last of the big stuff last night and took it out for a drive in the rain. I know we are never done with these things but I’m feeling pretty good today. What a ride it’s been. Brought it home Feb 2020. I’ve learned so much and it’s been incredibly rewarding and...

Hi All, I dont do off-roading and also have not used DIFF LOCK feature much. My 4WD gear setting is also on H as normal, never changed. Toyota changed diff and transfer case oil about 5 years ago. Might do it again this year. Few weeks back i locked the diff while in parking and started...

I have an 83 US FJ40. I purchased after it underwent 10 year restoration, that was abandoned 75% complete. The vehicle would start and ran but was not driven for approx 12 years. The work that was done seems to be a very high level. The prior owner is not accessible, so I do not have a lot of...

New member here. Long time lurker. Just picked up a 2008 LX570 with 187K miles. I have a 500 mile drive from Orange County, CA to Tucson, AZ on Friday. Noticed a slight squeal last weekend. Noise went away once truck warmed up. Now it's getting worse and I can hear it when revving and...

Hey guys, my 100 series cruiser just started squeaking when I drive forward. It doesn't squeak in reverse. It only happens when I accelerate or I'm coming to a slow stop. I put new brakes on a year and a half ago, but I am up in the mountains alot. Rear differential pinion seal and fluids were...

This was a semi planned impulse purchase. I've wanted an earlier 200 series for a while, but the time was never right for us. We picked this truck up recently when our Jetta TDI died on the freeway. I've been daily driving a very tired 60 series for the last few years. You can find that ordeal...

Quick advice before I have time to search through the history of 'MUD. Hopped in the 100 to go to work today and the UltraGauge beeped with a notice of a pending P0300 code as I pulled out of the driveway. I parked it and took the 40 to work, but I'm curious about next steps before throwing...

95 Landcruiser. New head gasket about 25,000 miles ago. Along with new water pump, thermostat, blue fan clutch, plugs, wires, distributor and some other items. Had my mechanic put on a new blue fan clutch, alternator, and belts last week. Everything I have bought is a OEM except for the blue...

I took delivery of a 1971 FJ40, which I had inspected by a classic car "expert" since I'm in TX and the FJ was in FL, and took it for a spin. The expert assured me that everything was working as it should. WRONG. All seemed fine until I noticed that I was driving around with the transfer case...
