I've been troubleshooting my trailer wiring and noticed that the brake lights on the hatch don't light up. Outer brake lights and the high center/3rd light work fine, but the signal isn't getting to the hatch lights. I pulled one and it lit up fine when I applied 12 volts to the harness.
I...
I have this nice bezel that I was keeping as a spare. It had a bit of surface rust on the back side. I meadia blasted it and then primered and enameled it. It should last forever now. The front side chrome is in very good condition. The plastic toyo logo has a bit of fading in a couple spots. I...
Long time lurker, first time poster.
I've searched (honest!:D) but haven't found anything.
Just picked up my new 2017 LC after trading in an aging Hilux Surf (4 Runner). So far, loving it. Just one thing I've noticed, the rear tailgate/hatch (upper section) doesn't seem to want to close...
I need the top half of the back hatch for a 40th anniversary FJ80. I just bought one and it has some rust. If I can swap it out with one that doesn't for less than paying a body shop to fix it, I'll do that.
Looking into installing fresh body and transmission mounts on my rig. Hoping to reduce the decibels of noise inside so I don't have to wear earplugs...can anyone provide advice or pitfalls of my plan? There are aftermarket poly and stock rubber-is one material better than another? I'll probably...
Looking for some advice about how to swap an upper tailgate hatch swap and hatch glass.
Let me walk you through the scenario, any advice or direction from this braintrust is most welcomed.
When I bought my '04 LC, the rear upper tailgate hatch was rusting out. (It came with the...
I was perusing Racer65's Land Cruiser porn website www.Cityracerllc.com and came across these replacement struts he was offering for the rear hatch. I hadn't seen them before, on MUD, and not sure he's done much promotion on this item. LINKYPOO
But for anyone who has taken a couple of...
Is there a rear hatch tent developed so I can sleep in the rear of my fj60 but still get up (at night if necessary) My wife may need a potty break at night if camping and I hate the thought of her climbing down a RTT ladder. We're over 50 years old so not going to climb ladders at night to...
Finally found an '05 LX. Thanks to MUD for all the education, I passed on a few sketchy ones. Paid too much, but maint/body extremely clean. Also, if anyone wants my 2001 LC Owner's Manual and cover (from #1 rig) happy to send to you for the postage.
The low hanging fruit first:
First, got...
Hey guys, new to forum. My shocks on my 71 fj are shot. I would like to replace them with hydraulic shocks like most cars have. I have no idea what to get, length or weight. Anyone replace theirs with these type? If so, if I could get a model number or specifics, it would be greatly...
Hi! I'm a regular on Mud, but I don't come to this group very often. I got my daughter a 99 4runner a few years ago and it's been great. This weekend she put the key in the hatch lock and it just fell into the door. It's not rusted out. The hatch window also doesn't go up and down. Any tips as I...
I only have the FSM in PDF so searching is a PIA. I couldn't find a diagram for the locking mechanism so can someone ID the lever and if a control rod goes in the plastic clip?

not sure if exact name for this part but goes on inside hatch for 74 or earlier Fj 40. It covers the cables that releases the hatch. Great shape. Hard to find 40 plus the ride.
I ordered a set of replacement rear hatch / gate struts but can't figure out how to get the lower "ball" style joint to release. It doesn't have any visible C-clip or pin to release it. I searched and can't find any concrete answer for a 100 series.
Anybody have any hints?
