Amazed I never found this forum before. I will be reading many of these threads as I try to improve my 85 FJ60 with new parts and fixes to keep it running smoothly. Gerry

I have a 1997 LX450, with around 178k, and we just had our first major issue and I’m pretty worried. Like most of the country it’s well below freezing where I am the past few days. Truck has been sitting out in that until today, when I decided to run to the hardware store and get the kids some...

Hi Guys, i'm in a project of 1980 HJ47 pickup Dual Cab. My VIN HJ47-010407 I cant find lots of parts on Toyodiy by this VIN because it just show me single Cab (No rear door panel & glass, body mount....) Can anyone help me check this VIN real or my car has changed from single to dual the...

Hey all I’m just wonder what this hose that looks like a breather is for on my 1979 fj45 troop carrier with drum brakes all round I am getting no movement in the back wheel cylinders, they look fine adjust fine and I have bled them and there’s no trouble getting fluid through.

The car is a RHD Auto HDJ 100 4.2 TD from 1998 which I have owned for many years. A few years ago I replaced the pump and accumulator and also did the piston servicing kit. The issue is that I sometime have a brake pedal that progressively goes to the floor. Note that on the floor the car stays...

Hey fellow udders, I have an 88 fj62. I've been running through a series of issues and fixing them as I move along. Initially I had an issue with my vehicle not heating up (on the guage) and the heater did not work either. I assumed it was the thermostat. So I just did a drop in and button up...

2010 LX570 156,000 I'm in Red River, NM with my family. LX has been great all week, supposed to leave today. LX was fine this morning for a quick errand, then a couple hours later I get in and start it up and it immediately jumps to 5000 RPM. When I shift to D it drops to normal for a...

Hello All - Anyone know what color the wires are to the ignition switch? 1970 dash mounted ignition switch. I have 4 post cylinder and find 4 wires loose in my field find project. I searched Haynes manual but can't make out the color codes and t does not show positions. Thanks for any help...

Did my searching & wasn't getting anywhere. So many numbers. Anyone have info on these, particularly confirming if they are left hand drive or not? I have two sets on hand, same numbers, but one has washers. I'm a novice with these lights. Glass shows 212-1173lx & 212-1173rx for left/right...

I purchased a 1993 Land Cruiser several years ago. It ran great for a couple of years. I started having issues with a rich code and problems with the distributor. About 6 months ago it wouldn't start so I parked it. I recently decided to work on it again, had a mechanic look at it who replaced...

Hey everyone. If you saw my last posts I was struggling with high idle and multiple codes being thrown. I fixed all my codes and checked my vacuum lines, however I am still idling very high. In neutral I am sitting at about 1500 rpm. Not sure where to start. Was thinking a tune up might do the...

Hi All, I recognize there are many threads about this, but none that I've found seem to answer enough. I'm in the process of putting my motor back together, and when torquing the timing cover to what the service manual calls out, it pushed the gasket out. As other threads have suggested, I...

Did a quick search and couldn't find a thread for identifying all the various electronic connectors, in this case a capped connector, passenger side rear near the bumper. Anyone have an idea what this might be for? US Spec 2009 LC. Dont mind the dirt. :-)

Hey there cruisers, does any one have a copy of the FSMs for an Fj62. I have an 88 and have a fsm but as I was going through it it appears incomplete. Was wondering if someone could help me out.

I drove about 1,200 miles on a recent road trip. After about 600 miles to the destination I started getting a noise right at 40 mph, with a slight vibration. It starts at 40 and then continues up until highway speed. Constant slight humming, depending on vehicle speed, not RPM. For some...

My 2008 has the footwell leak. My weather-strip fix only worked for a while and I'm finally ready to give in and get the replacement cowl. There are numerous different part numbers quoted in the various posts. Part # 55708-60091 is much cheaper than 55708-60101. I've seen conflicting...

After doing some fuel system work I was driving my LJ78 and it just stopped. Enough fuel. Injectors are dialed in and getting fuel. I don't think that was the issue. So I looked a little more closely. I found that a fusible link was burnt out. The link ran to the glowplug relay (orange arrow)...

Would anyone be able to confirm whether it’s a bearing race driver that OTRAMM is using in his rear locker assembly video at 17:57 into this attached video? I need to safely clamp my locker into the press to torque ring gear bolts, but he calls the item he’s using as a buffer so as not to...

I have a 100 series Land Cruiser. When I start it up it sounds like its fan is running way louder. I suspected it was the catalytic converter and the mechanic confirmed the left was running hot. He suggested I replace them both (of course) but I was thinking about trying a catalytic cleaner...

Okay, my rig has been running at about 1000 rpm since I got it running several years ago. I get terrible milage (around 8 to 10) and have been putting work into it trying to get it up to snuff. I have done several camping and road trips with it and have not had any real issues other than poor...
