Hola y’all, quick question. Am I going to have a problem importing a 1993 FJ 70? Does month of manufacture matter? And if so how can I find that information? I don’t think that is included in VIN or title. Thanks amigos.

Hello, I came across an FJ40 for sale and am very interested in getting into the FJ community. The seller knows very little about the vehicle at all and it has sat for about the past 3 years. It's for sale as is (no hardtop) but it does run and drive. I know pretty much nothing about these. Any...

Hi all, I want to run codes to see what is going on with my 1994 80 series, but the light never comes on; not when on 'acc', 'on', or run; not when E1 and TE1 are connected, not when W is grounded. the TSM is kind of weak in troubleshooting this. Is there a common pitfall for the MIL? Thank you...

Hi all, I am about to purchase a 1988 FJ62 for my first car. I went and looked at the FJ everything is in mint condition besides the engine. It is running off 4 cylinders instead of all six. The FJ got taken to a mechanic who said that the truck needs a valve job. Two of the cylinders are at 40...

Hello everyone! I’m in need of replacing my “accelerator cable” or throttle cable on my 96 LX450 as the gas pedal has developed a catch/sticky point. I’m wondering if anyone has: 1) Has anyone replaced theirs? 2) Has anyone replaced theirs with an aftermarket cable? 3) Would you recommend...

Hi everyone, Today, while on the interstate, I was cruising along at 65-70mph and my RPMs were hovering around 2500-2600 or so. It started to get darker so I turned on my headlights and my RPMs immediately jumped up 200-300. I then turned off my headlights to see if my RPM’s would drop, and...

Hi everyone, I've seen a few different posts on here for random interior lights/headlight/taillight/cruise control issues so I figured I'd post here to get all the answers on one post. Issue #1: Cruise Control immediately cancels when turning ON blinker (left-blinker, in my case) Issue...

Hey yall, I am going to start this off by saying I am not a mechanic and most of what I do know is based of looking stuff up on the internet to try and figure things out. I have a manual 91 toyota pickup with a 22re engine thats got a recurring problem: my stick keeps getting stuck while im...

I purchased a 1973 FJ40 from a Mechanic friend of mine. Unfortunately, he had to move and couldn't give me a 100% working cruiser. I had to take it to a mechanic in Vancouver, Canada and I chose to go to Japanoid. I asked them to fix an air leak, which my mechanic and I believe came from the...
