Hello Fellow Mudders, I purchase my 2001 LX470 w/ 140,000 miles on BaT in October of 2022 and have enjoyed all of the work getting it up to snuff. I have completed a lot of work myself (thanks to MUD) and a local indie Toyota shop that uses all OEM parts has completed a decent amount as well...

I’ve got a 1971 40 that was my neighbors from 71 until this spring. I have been trying to get the whole history of the vehicle to understand what he has done over the years and especially what is not original to the ride. One thing that came up was the black stuff on the interior floor. I’ve...

Good evening! I’d really appreciate your opinion, thanks in advance… I’ve got an ‘86 FJ60 we named Buttercup, always wanted a cruiser, we love this thing… It’s got 310k miles, couldn’t resist buying the truck about two years ago with the intention to take on a project and do everything...

Hi all, I purchased my first 80 (pov spec unfortunately as Aus has bugger all Diesel GXLs for normal prices), about 2 years ago. Upon purchase, the gearbox felt fine, although about a week later, it started playing up. Originally I was unable to downshift into 2nd gear from any gear. Which was...

Recently put a new motor with 140k miles on it. It was making a ticking noise so I took the oil cap off while running. Once the cap was loose the motor almost died then idled up for a second. When I put the can back out goes back to normal and will do that every time I remove the cap. I've never...

Hey guys, first time post, correct me if I did anything wrong I just turned 18 and I know nothing about repairing my 80 series, it's got around 340k miles, and it's making a strange vibrating coming somewhere from the front end on the passenger side. I've done some research on this website and...

Hi all, planning to run with half doors and bestop soft upper doors on my FJ40. Before buying anything just wanted to make sure it was legal to drive with half doors in Australia, specifically NSW but other states as well, and if I would need an engineer to certify having them (which I would...

I have a spark plug (#6) on my 100 series that is seized pretty badly, I tried to put pb on it overnight but it still feels like it wins budge. I’m ready to just use my longest breaker bar and try to wiggle it out. If I happen to snap the plug what should my next move be to repair it?

Looking at an FJ62 guys asking 24k and this is my first one which is why I’m posting. My plans are to use it as a daily driver during the winter months and a cruise around town vehicle the rest of the year. He says it’s got an engine replacement approx 160k ago, and a replacement tranny in 2006...

Hey all, I’m the type that can do mechanical things if there’s a video showing me how, but I don’t have a vast knowledge of things… So I have been experiencing a lot of issues with my automatic transmission “sticking in neutral” and decided I would try draining the transmission fluid...

Hi All First post, unfortunately not the question I hopped to be asking but glad all the same to hear all your advice!! We brought our troop just before we went back into lockdown (Melbourne, Australia) and had strict 5km limits on where we could travel to. We have since relocated 200km to the...

First off, hello all and thanks for creating such a cool and useful forum. I'm a complete novice when it comes the Landcruiser, though I've always admired them from afar. I've decided it's (hopefully) time to change that, and I've decided the 100 series is likely where I'd like to be sitting...

After a short road trip last month, I have started hearing a faint noise when turning the steering wheel. It sounds like its coming from directly behind the wheel but the steering feels no different than before. Any Ideas on what is causing this and how to fix it? Its hard to hear in the video...
