intro

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...

Hey everyone, I'm new to the forum, the rules said I had to post an introduction, so here I am. Howdy. I've got a question pertaining to the alternator/regulator of an FJ40 I'm doing some electrical work on. This thing has had many owners and the wiring has been modified a bit by other...

About 230,000 miles. The only superpower is that I drove it to Argentina once from San Diego. Shipped it back and use it as a daily driver. -- jorge

I am a new user to IH8MUD and have recently purchased a 1996 FZJ80. The vehicle is undergoing a major transformation including 3" lift, 35" tires, front and rear bumper, winch, rock sliders, lockers, rebuild of the engine and replacement of many other OEM components. Hoping to complete the...

Hey all, I'm mostly a sportscar guy, but I've always been interested in the Land Cruiser even as far back as the FJ40. I was going to replace my daily driver with another car, but I couldn't tear away from the thought of finding something that could tow and also scratch the LC itch. So I...

Hola, been browsing around site for a while, I appreciate the wealth of knowledge shared while reading posts. I decided to buy an imported FJ43- actually bought 2 (79 and 81) since i have always been interested while traveling overseas. They do need some engine work and looking forward to...

Hi all, I've been lurking here for a while and always wanted a classic LC. Now I'm finally in a position to purchase one and I've got my sights set on one in particular. It's a 1975 FJ 40 with 19,5k miles on it and appears to be in incredible condition. This will be a secondary vehicle that I...

Hi all, my name is Chris and I moved to Folsom last year with my wife. I drive an 80 series, mostly to go dispersed camping and explore nature. Mojave Desert and Zion are on my list for the next 12 months as well as a bunch of quick day or overnight trips in the Sierra. I'm not sure how...

Hi all, just joined the forum. I'm taking inspiration from the Weistec DCE guys with their SEMA overland Rivian builds. Just got the ditch lights installed and doing the light bar and rock sliders in the next two weeks. Next I'm going for a Camp King RTT and an awning, as well as gearing up for...

Greetings, New to the 2013 GX460 base platform, but not knew to working on my own cars. I’m coming off of a Land Rover LR3 that was recently totaled, still have a a 99 Discovery 1 set up for trails. I’ve lurked about the forum for a few years but the GX has me looking for DIY maintenance info...

Figured I’d come on over and introduce myself. I’m Dwight , just moved to NC from Westminster, CO and bought a house in Angier. Been here for about 3 days now. Little about my 80..I’ve had it for 7 years and bought it stock at 214k miles. Couple highlights are the 35’s, Slee short bus, Slee...

Hello everyone! I've been a member for a while but don't really post stuff. This is my stock 3rd gen Tacoma. I'm here reading the 80 series section most of the time. Hopefully I'll be picking one up next year.

Hello, I have a 2000 LC that is my wife’s pride and joy. She refuses to drive anything other and just had an issue pop up with the AC. The forced air and recirc lights alternately flash with the ac on and it stopped blowing cold air. I read the forum on testing for codes by holding both ac and...

I am a new user to I8MUD, I own a 94 FZJ80: factory triple locked, 2.5" OME heavy lift, front ARB winch bumper, rear Kaymar double S/O bumper, snorkel, rebuilt motor and axles with 4:88, running stock wheels with 315/85/16 STT pro's; custom wood drawers for now. Looking to eventually add...

I have been lurking for a while, but finally putting up an intro post. I bought a 1999 LC a few weeks ago...I was fortunate to find one owned by truly awesome human being who also knows how to take care of a truck (he is on the forum here somewhere, though I don't know his handle). It had been...

I have a 1989 FJ62 and I have been looking at IH8MUD for help fixing my vehicle for years without creating an account. Finally registered for an account today and I think it’s going to be much better! I am replacing my vehicle’s water pump (in and of itself a difficult task for me) and I saw a...

Just picked up my Sequoia yesterday. TRDPro, pano roof, grey interior. This is to offset my LX450- need to get some work on it and have a spare rig to drive. 1st mods: chrome delete badges Mod direction: Westcott leveler Icon Rebound 17s 35" toyo rt trail tires Prinsu roof rack Undecided on...

Hi folks, I just wanted to introduce myself. Nick here, a seasoned LX and LC "user". I have been driving lx570 and lc 200 series (diesel and petrol) for years while working in very remote regions, primarily in Australia and the Middle East. Now I am based in VA most of the year, and looking for...

Hello, I'm Sarah and I'm mostly just here because we will be selling our fj62 and I need more information and a mechanic to look at it. So I may make a few posts asking for advice and will likely make a post when we're ready to sell (once I figure out the right thread to do so, haha). Happily...

Hello everyone - it's Mike Murray-Hudson from Botswana here. I have a 1978 HJ45 pickup bog standard, no leaks, no rattles (I also have two Land Rover Series 3s - leaks, rattles). My plan is to keep the car alive as long as I'm alive... Hope to be able to learn here! Cheers Mike
