HI all, I just joined the group and wanted to introduce myself. I live in Santa Fe. I've owned a 1997 40th Anniversary 3xlocked LC since 2000 and use it extensively for spearfishing trips to mainland Mexico, Baja and other adventures. It's over-due for its second paint job but otherwise in...

I am currently a SEQUOIA owner and pulling the trigger on a 2015 LX 570. I have wanted one for awhile and it took me about 8 months to locate one. These are becoming more rare each day. I look forward to reading about the builds and the DIY maintenance. First question….. would you walk from...

Hello all, Long-time lurker and relatively new 60-serries owner here, just introducing myself and vehicles as suggested. I’ve relied heavily on these forums in the past for other projects / trucks, but never engaged much in the community, something I think I’ll need remedy if I’m going to get...

I have been lurking on this website for a while and using this great platform as a base of knowledge. The community here is great! Just wanted to share the progress of the Landcruiser. Hoping to eventually get enough time to start a build thread. I have over 1,000 pictures documenting the...

First Post Thread Just wanted to drop by and introduce myself as a new member. I’m located in Vicksburg and picked up my first cruiser today. It’s got some minor issues and I’ll definitely need to decide whether or not to try to tackle the timing belt myself (never been changed), or to have...

Hello everyone, I've been a lurker for about a year now as I've planned this project. I'm a college student in Portland, who has been obsessed with 40s since living in Bolivia while in high school. They're everywhere there and for a few years I planned on importing a couple (turns out people...

Hello all, I just became a member yesterday. I didn’t see a place to introduce yourself so I figured this would be the best place as I’m hoping to be a 70 owner. My plan is to find the best HZJ73 I can afford and use it for my daily driver. My wife’s SUV we can use for any longer trips but...

Hello everyone! I'm brand new to this forum, and the 4x4 world itself, and wanted to introduce myself. I've worked on old cars and motorcycle for awhile now, having a 1966 Mustang and a 1975 Honda CB750F motorcycle, but never really dabbled in 4x4s. My close friend is heavily involved in 4x4s...

About Me: I’m pretty new to wrenching on cars. I just started doing my own oil changes in 2021. That being said, I’m an engineer and I’ve taken an interest to maintaining my vehicles. With my family growing, I decided something bigger than my Honda Civic was warranted. The car market was in...

Hey everyone, new member here. Recently picked up a 2016 LC. My first LC, coming over from the truck world.. Looking forward to a few OEM+ mods over the ownership period. The car rides like a tank and seems to be all stock, outside of what I suspect to be a leveling kit..? Or is this factory...
