So my 2007 has 235k. Second owner 3 years about. Put 35k on it, including to Panama and back to SF Bay Area, solo. Well with dog. So i decided to look at and OEM replace PCV related stuff. Guess what? That was original, tough as nails to unscrew valve, parts were oily. Hoses cracked and broke...

Hey guys, so yeah, looks like I've got the radiator crack, so I'm going go ahead and replace it, but I wanted to make sure this is the correct part number for the updated version of the radiator: Toyota 16400-50384, for a 2013 Land Cruiser. I just hit 109,000 miles so from what I'm reading, I...

Purchased a 94 Prado KZJ78. trying to find out what these buttons do as I wish to maintain it for 15+ years. As I recently purchasing what basic maintenance should I do right away. I only know that I have to flush out all the fluids

For the life of me, I cannot figure out how to fully close the moon roof. I've tried the method it says in the manual to reset it. I thought it was shut all the way, then went to wash the vehicle and sure enough it's still letting water in. Any one else have this issue? How do I get this thing...

My Girlfriend and I just got a 2003 Landcruiser that has been in her family for about 15 years. 176k miles and going strong. Over all condition is really good. This was gently used up until now. Today we detailed it out, got new tires and are going to have some routine maintenance done on it...

I have owned this vehicle for 15 years transmission is working perfectly; however wondering if I should do a drain and refill of transmission fluid. I know not to flush a transmission with high mileage but Im wondering is it worth it to have someone simply drain and refill or just let sleeping...

Hello, I'm so happy to join the community. I recently purchased a 1995 80 Series with approximately 194k miles. The previous owner was an awesome guy who had spent the time and money to ensure the vehicle was up to date on maintenance, so my wife and I felt comfortable taking her on a road...

Just bought this 92' a couple of weeks ago. Got her for a song and am loving beginning to get to know my way around the LC setup. Crossing over from the Jeep world. Not looking to wheel heavily anymore (did plenty of rock crawling with the Jeeps - kinda bored with that game). I am mostly...

I'm starting this thread to document my first 80 Series build, and some of the adventures that I'm hoping to see in this rig. How it all started. Over the last couple of years I've attended the Panhandle Overland Rally in Sandpoint Idaho, and since have been looking for a good 80. With new...

I found another thread that covers most the topic. I dont know how to delete this thread. Sorry for the forum clutter. Thanks guys.

I rarely post but I've gotten so much out of this site over the years. Thanks to all the geniuses on here. I've had my '94 JDM 4.2l 80 series for about 15 years but it's been in storage (outdoors) since moving back to the US almost two years ago. I have always kept maintenance up and all the...

First post, long time reader. I'm looking for a couple of mechanical suggestions for my 2008 LC. She has 167k with the 5.7. Thanks in advance.

Hello, FNG here. I just bought my first 100 series. Just wanted to say thank you to the ones who replied to this thread and guided me and helped me make the right choice. Much appreciated and I must say this forum is fantastic so far. Haven't been able to post anything because any questions I...

Ok here it goes. My goal for this Summer - drive my 97 LX450 out from NC to Alaska, work on a salmon boat for two months, drive the LX back to NC. This is going to be my attempt at a real build thread outlining everything I do to get my cruiser ready for a ~9000 mile trip. About the cruiser...

I told my mechanic to change my differential oil. He inspected it and "saw there was no water in it" and told me it's a waste of money to replace it. He told me if it was his vehicle, he wouldn't do it. I asked him how often he recommends I replace it then and he said every 30k to 40k miles...

Looking at a 250k vehicle this week. Same owner past 20 years. I’ve gathered that it has been maintained at a local shop but suspect no major systems services or updates. So far, photos look pretty solid for rust and condition, one rear quarter panel spot. Tires seem decent from photos. I’m...

I thought it was time to check and change the transmission fluid as Ive own my '03 LX470 for 3 years. I spoke with my mechanic friend who was a Lexus mechanic who helped me track the maintenance history. It showed the prior owner declined to have the trans mission fluid changed each time it was...
