Hey guys - we have a 2003 LX470 that my wife drove to Asheville to visit family. I am worried the catalytic converter on it may be toast. Is there somewhere in town that she could get it looked at on the weekend? I'm worried about her potentially driving it home - two kids with her too.

I have a 1996 FJZ80 imported from Japan (JDM, RHD, etc, etc), it's fantastic! I hate to start another thread on the Spongey brake issue (I've read so many), but as I follow the FSM, I have run into a dilemma. The Brake Master Cylinder has 2 bolt holes onto the booster instead of 4, which...

Hi all, New guy here. I have a new to me 1968 FJ40 from South America. I didn't realize it was from SA until after I bought it but it is what it is. In any case among other things the speedometer isn't working. I replaced the cable since the old one was beat up and it seemed like a good...

Yesterday the cat killed a small snake. I am pretty sure it is a Sonoran Mountain kingsnake, but it could be a milksnake. I have only seen one other snake like this, when I was around 12 years old I caught one on the same property I live on now.

Hello Good People, It's been a long time since I've poked around on the forum. It's only because I haven't changed anything on my GX since the collective wisdom here steered me in the right direction (still very appreciative!). Living super rural these days and this year in northern NV has...

Greetings everyone! I am located here in the UK and I currently am a new owner of a ex-firetruck (HZJ75). As y'all know it comes with a bulbous roof that I am personally not a fan of. I recently purchased the roof section and I am doing TONS of research about MIG welding. This task scares me...

My 100 Series spent 15 years in upstate NY where it got the salt treatment. It is currently stranded at the Toyota dealership in Columbia, MO, where they say it is not safe to drive and they do not recommend replacement (they don't want to work on the rusted thing). The frame is rusting badly...

2015 Land Cruiser with 125k miles. Took the cruiser to a Land Cruiser shop in Houston. Did the 120k mile services there instead of dealership. Transmission fluid was part of the job. When I picked it up, it would “slip” when u-turning under the freeway at speeds of 15-20 mph. I would idle...

These came on my 73 series. They look new, front and back; and I assumed they were the Toyota part number 42601-60262-03; however, @lynchmob just taught me to count the openings and duh.... they are something else. Anyone know if these are OEM or aftermarket?

I’m trying to set the toe in on my 80. Yes I’m using the FSM I’m reading this as 2MM each side ?

Hey y’all- new to the Landcruiser life. Picked up a triple locked 80 Series yesterday (‘94) anticipating a project. After driving for about 10 minutes, I noticed a whining sound when hitting around 25mph. It took no time for this to turn into a horrible grinding/ rattling sound. Sounds...

My belts started squeaking on startup and when I went to look I realized the lower bolt on the alternator is missing. While looking over the engine I also noticed that two of the three bolts holding the power steering reservoir are missing. I have a 1990 HZJ75 and currently located in Reno, NV...

Anyone from this area know a good mechanic that knows their stuff. I had some issues driving out here for work that continue to get worse and need a shop that know their stuff. I'm in Montpellier but the shop doesn't have to be here. Thanks!

I have a 1974 FJ40 that I need help with on how to run the vacuum lines based on my setup. I have an earlier emissions control device )which I would like to utilize it since I just recently bought one from BTB products) an 75 stock carb, I believe a 78 distributor, and a 2f motor with an 2f...
