Well it finally happened - Stopped for gas, checked the oil (like I do every fill up) and there's a little foam on the dipstick, foam on the oil cap, and a little wisp of steam escaping the oil fill hole. I think 282K is a pretty good run but its not done and I'm going to fix it and get it back...

Just finished the timing belt on my newly purchased 07 470. Everything went fine and I’ve driven for about 150 miles but I don’t drive very long trips, 10-15 minutes each trip never in traffic. First long drive I took it out, and while sitting in bumper-to-bumper traffic I noticed my AC quit...

I want to compare the head gasket that I can find locally here in Peru with the upgraded OEM head gasket. Unfortunately Toyota doesn't carry it and don't really want to wait a month to get the part shipped from USA if I don't have to. Oh yeah, the head gasket slowly surrendered while on what...

Coolant system gave up the ghost this past weekend. Rig is a '97 with 212K miles - pretty much all original parts. I've already torn the radiator out and disassembled a good portion of the front end. Also doing PHH. My question is -- should I just attack the HG as well? Given the amount of...

Looking for an fj40, v8 is a plus, can be built or stock, can be a running project as long as it legal to drive still. Will do partial trades. Will travel for the right trade. This is my daily driver/weekend wheeler. Runs, stops, and shifts great. I will send more pictures upon request, I also...

Little backstory first, so I picked up a locked 97 CE this past August. 214,00 at time of purchase, pretty clean all over including motor. The head looked exceptionally clean, to the point you knew it had been off not long ago. Drove it back from Pennsylvania to North Carolina and it runs...

This is my daily driver/weekend wheeler. Runs, stops, and shifts great. 96 lx450, 215k on 1fz, head gasket was done at Lexus stealership at 200k, trans shifts strong, factory diff locks engage on the fly, low and hi range both work perfectly, all power options work. Has new rotors, and...

We've had a warm snap here in East Tennessee which gave me a chance to do a bit more work on the FZJ80 I bought in the Fall (no garage). The first job is baselining starting with engine work including replacing the head gasket. The truck has 230k on it, ran great and had really good/consistent...

So its been a while, but I am once again a proud owner of a Land Cruiser.. err Lexus LX450! I was fortunate to find this very clean 96. The rig is pretty solid, 2 owner with 202k on the odometer. The PO noticed some oil in the coolant overflow tank and decided to sell it to avoid the hassle of...
