maintenance

Started out with the idea of changing timing belt and pulleys etc. Well it turned in to much more. Seems the evaporator and compressor need to be replaced as well as dropping the tranny for rear main seal. While down there I figured what the hell I ought to replace cv driveshafts and bushings to...

Hello everyone, I am excited to be back on Mud with my new to me 2005 LX470. My goal here is to say hello first, have place to document the maintenance and further built of this nice rig as well as to ask for feedback how to make this a more reliable and enjoyable overland truck. I had a 200...

I just purchased a 2014 with 42k miles, I'm going to start driving it a lot more than the last guy did. Any recommendations on services/maintenance I should do because of the age of the car and not the miles? It still has its original tires and brakes! 

Looking for some maintenance guidance, on trying to get ahead of stuff on my 04 100 series no AHC. Its time to refresh the front end, doing service the other day I noted its time for ball joints, CV axles (was going to reboot but figured with everything else I'm doing and not sure how long the...

I previously had a 1989 FJ62, still regret selling that! Had to be done unfortunatley due to circumstances. I picked up this 2006 Land Cruiser a few weeks ago as my daily driver. It is in pretty good shape, and I am starting the normal maintenance (fluids, TPMS (ARGH), and lots more I am sure I...

My 97 90 Series Prado is arriving today. My plans are to start with a Oil/Filter and Coolant Flush, later this week. I've searched the forum and it didn't yield me much info. A web search us suggesing a 10w-30 conventional Diesel oil. I've used Rotella T4 for the last 25 years in my previous...

I’m unable to reset my tires, oil and filter change date past 2/2024. Do i need a software update to push past the date limitation?

I think this means my rig can finally buy booze for itself… When I get back from this trip I’ll add posts with details about how a 200k mile 200 is holding up. Short story: incredibly well.

My steering rack has been weeping since before I got the vehicle 5 years ago from the driver side boot. Everything else is seemingly fine in the system. Would I regret not replacing the pump, reservoir, and associated lines? It nearly triples the cost of parts when you include the high pressure...

2015 with 84 k on the clock. I was told I have a bad rear wheel bearing. Has anyone experienced this? Does anyone have an idea on what this could cost?

Trying to sell my 2000 LC Land Cruiser runs and drives well. I have had a ton of maintenance done to the truck over the past year and I would trust this thing to go anywhere. Recent u joints front and rear all fluids changed to synthetic new denso radiator (also have an aluminum 4 row...

Hi all, proud new owner of a '94 FZJ80 and excited to be here! Our truck needs a lot of love and i'm planning as doing as much of the work as i can within reason. I've got a relatively basic toolset acquired through working on various other cars and bikes, but i was curious to know if there were...

Hello all! I know we have a few other club members who own 3rd gens and I wanted to say hello and ask for some help. Just picked this truck up all the way out in CO, it's got just over 200k miles, 5 spd with e-locker and in pretty decent shape. I'd like to do a full baseline on it. I...

Any concerns with a super high mileage 2016 LC - lots of Toyota dealer maintenance records and decent looking undercarriage. What do you guys think for low 40s for 170k miles? Clean interior FWIW. Send it?

What’s going MUD, I would like to introduce myself. My name is Jerry. I’m new to the whole offroading/overlanding genera of motorsports, but I’ve been around modding/driving sports cars since the early 2000s. I’ve basically had every sports car produced since then but since I’m older now, I...

My car is still down as we try to diagnose a transmission issue. I suspect it may be down for up to six weeks. What is the easiest and most effective way to maintain the two batteries? They are relatively new, so i do not want to lose them. They are the wet type, where distilled water can be...

Will Toyota dealerships work on 80 series LC's anymore? I'm about to pull the trigger on one, I can do basic stuff like oil changes, etc, but I don't want to be stranded if on down the road I need some more intense service or maintenance work. Thanks!

Hi there - I'm looking at a 2013 LX with about 145k miles and pulled the Lexus maintenance records. Everything was done at the Lexus dealership and all the scheduled maintenance was done. But part of the records have the entries below, and I'd like to get ya'lls feedback/input at to whether...
