My 1997 FJ80 is missing the vertical lock lever assembly in the upper tailgate door (i.e. the plastic knob assembly above the door handle that you can pull up and down to lock or unlock the tailgate when inside the vehicle).
Does anybody know what the part number is? I have attached a...
Hi All,
I have found oil leaking from my 1hz's exhaust gasket (or so it seems) at the 1st and 6th exhaust outlets (see photos attached).

Hi Guys,
Back in August 2019 my AC condenser fan started to make a horrible noise.
My father and I checked it and it was a bad bearing.
We upgraded the type of bearing and made custom carbon brushes for the motor. and we made videos of the repair.
You guys might find the videos helpful...
hey everyone- I am in the process of replacing the rear brake pads on my rig and behold, the piston cut through the pad and dug into the rotor. It is not a pretty site. I do need to find a replacement rotor fast and would like to grab one at a local auto parts store. I am having a hard time...
Hey Mud! I'm Danny, and I picked up a FZJ80 Cruiser for my off road fleet. I currently drive a 2006 Tacoma (click for build) that's been built into a zoom-zoom desert bomber. Living in NorCal, I also needed something that was at home on the rocky, mountain trails in the Sierras. I've always...
So my friend found a leak on the back of my valve cover and determined that I needed a new valve cover gasket. I've looked at the process and it seems pretty straight forward. Since I'm going to be opening everything up anyway, are there any other things that I should replace or clean if I am...
Got in my first accident ever the other night... Figured I'd post the story and my progress on repairs here as I'd kinda like to talk about it and seek some advice on repairs.
So the other night it was raining pretty hard, no biggie. I've always been a good driver. I was driving down a curvy...

I have had this 97 LX450 / FZJ80 for amost 2 years so I do not know the entire history of the rig but I can comment on its current condition which is pretty good. I ended up with this rig in a trade and at the time I was working near home and had more time to enjoy it. Things have...
A friend of a friend is selling this FJ80 that's piratically brand new. Imported it himself and only has 90K miles on it. He's asking $20K. Is this a screaming deal or am I wasting my money?
Hey Guys, I’m from Austin,TX but go to school In Oregon. I’ve have a 1994 FZJ80 that's been with me since I was 15 and today I finally join as a member. Im looking forward to all the things I will learn from this community and if possible to share and help in anyway way that I can. (Go Horns🤘Go...
Hi, I have some third row seats out of a 91 LC in perfect working condition just some minimal ware (brown color) since they where never really used. Pick up only. Shoot me an offer or if you have something to trade for them (gear or accessories) let me know. I can send pictures.
Long time lurker here. Currently have a couple 1st gen Tacomas but I haven't been able to shake the long time desire to own an 80. I've read through a ton of threads, Slee's page, etc but now I'm stuck.
I just looked at a stock 1997 LX450 with factory lockers - Canadian truck 160k miles, my...
