intro

Hey y'all, First time poster, first time overland vic, and going to Africa in Fall 2025. It looks like you all have a lot of experience and some fantastic machines. I know I can learn a lot here. In short, I am on the hunt for a Sequoia and will make some basic mods to it from suspension lift...

Hello, all. Was introduced to this site by a friend. Proud owner of 94'HiluxSurf. Sporting right hand drive, 1kz engine w/ 5 speed. Purchased from Japan, shipped to Marianas Islands (where i used it),moved it home to Houston, TX. anyone else have same set up?

Evening all. Just introducing myself as a newcomer to the forum. Bought myself a 1994, HDJ81, 80 Series Land Cruiser, with a 1HD-T (@190,000 miles) about a year ago. I've found sanctuary in this forum (many) times in the last year when working and maintaining the cruiser, so thankyou all for...

Howdy friends, I am brand new to the FJ80 world, however I'm a veteran of 80's, 90's, and 00's Toyotas. I recently (three weeks ago) purchased a fabulous example of a '91 FJ80. Nearly immediately after bringing the vehicle home, she began exhibiting a crank, no start after being properly warmed...

Long time listener, first time caller! I received my ‘24 GX550 Overtrail+ last month and am already deep into mods. Really excited to see what products get released for this new vehicle. This is going to be another all-out build for me and I really hope you follow and comment on the...

Hi ! Thank you for having me in this forum. I've already picked up some good tips and recs for my 06LX470 (211k young, black and his name is Tim). I'm here in Orange County Ca and I'm hoping there's a local 100-series truckers group that meet here. My goal is to retire in 3 years and travel to...

Hi all, great to see the community here. I have recently purchased a 1990 PJZ70, and am just getting to work on it. I have a hard copy of the Feb. 1990 Engine Repair Manual. Does anyone know of where I can find a hard copy of the Repair Manual for Chassis and Body? I’m also interested in a...

Been enjoying the site for a bit now, figured I'd throw my story out there - bought the LX back in early December off of Cars n Bids, wow was that an experience. 1st time ever buying a car off an auction site like that, but the truck checked all the boxes for me and it was only a few hours...

What's up y'all? Long story short I dont own this FJ but I do contribute my blood sweat and tears to her. One of my best of friends bought 2 out of Columbia with the intention to flip them. We picked up number 1 from Galveston TX around Thanksgiving. Little did we know the many doors we were a...

Just checking in !!

Hello All, Introduction to our first Fj40. I bought this Cruiser for my wife's 25th birthday and kinda a late graduation gift for her achievements. She had mentioned the Toyota Land Cruiser as always being her dream vehicle. I am certain she meant something in much better condition but this is...

Greetings All, I'm Travis and last December I purchased a 1KZ-TE KZN130 Hilux SURF from Japanese Classics. 80k km, 5 spd. She's been a good truck so far but she just started having a cold starting issue. First start of the day, she will crank over more that normal before finally lighting off...

Hi guys, I've been lurking for awhile but after much searching, I finally purchased a 1978 FJ40 on the weekend. I've worked in the automotive industry in the past and have collected and restored many classic vehicles but this is my first FJ40 so I've got a steep learning curve. My FJ has Apr...

Hey all, joined the forum a few weeks back, thought I should introduce myself & my 80. Big thankyou to this forum, the info shared by many is awesome, especially in Resources.:cheers: I've recently tackled front rotor, all brake pads & 6 flexible brake lines replacement. Changed the clutch...

Hello everyone, I am new to the site and have already found a ton of useful threads. Just got my 1990 62 a few days a go and my list of to dos keep growing. Looking forward to every one of them. Cheers, Rudy

Hello from Alabama! I have been a long time lurker and have owned several Toyotas over the years. I have definitely gotten some great info from the minds of Mud. I acquired this 60 equipped with a SBC, 700R4, 34mm split case earlier this year with a compromised engine from the classifieds...

Brief intro for the group...Wife and I picking up our first LC J80 in FL next week and driving back to TX. It's a bone stock, garage-kept 1994 HDJ81 import under 80K miles with 1HD-T, center diff lock, console cooler, and super clean interior. We're almost empty nesters and will start exploring...

My current rigs: '92 XCab 4x4 with Tacoma wheels. This rig has a badly slipping clutch so I rarely use it on public roads. Mostly for use on my residential mountain property (16 acres, 5 forested in the PNW). My truck - '97 Dodge 3500 4x4 flatbed with Cummins (plan is to convert this to an...

Howdy! I’m Sean from southen Utah. I recently picked up a 06 GX470 that tried to go swimming but drowned:(. I did a heart transplant and got her back on her feet. Lucky for me it already had the eibach stage 1 lift(plan on upgrading!). 35’s, 4.88 gears and non Nav. Has 176,xxx original...

I picked this up a couple of weeks ago. It took me a minute to get some proper pics because work has been a touch intrusive on my hobbies lately... My main priorities were: 1FZ-FE, locking axles and no extreme issues (major drivetrain issues, cancer, etc...). It's not exactly a garage queen and...
