I used to work as a mechanic. I know how to check oil. Just had my oil changed yesterday. The dipstick read over by the distance between the dots, about 2". I pulled out about a quart and am now over by 1/2". The shop swears the put in the right amount. The last oil change by them was...

Hello, I'm looking for a reputable mechanic/service shop in the Grand Rapids area, to service my '97 FZJ80 while my Son takes to flight school. Any recommendations? Thank you.

First, my thanks to everyone on ih8mud. You are a great community and always very helpful. I am starting to reach the age where some jobs are just too big for me or I no longer have the tools and space to do the work. My long-time "go-to" mechanic was older than me and sold his shop a few...

Hey there, It’s been a minute or two. I’m looking to over haul my truck. I really don’t drive it but I’d like to keep it and bring it back. Its runs but engine leaks oil. It runs fine . I need new brakes and rotors, probably times for suspension to be re-worked . Exhaust was completely changed...

Hello all, I have a 2003 Lx 470 which has developed a really bad bounce going over bumps and uneven payment. If anyone else has suggestions on what might be wrong that would be great as well. I suspect it is bad globes so I purchased them to repair my self with the fluid. However, I tore my...

Hello, Nice to meet you all. I am a new forum member and new owner of a 2004 GX470. Long story short, thought I bought it needing a new drive shaft (dry and needs grease at least and had classic "clunk" sound at acceleration off the line) but my mechanic at ToyoMotors says it needs a whole new...

I have a 1995 turbo diesel 80 Series, and I’m having a very difficult time finding someone to work on it (idle speed/air con - nothing too major). Any help / names / numbers would be very much appreciated!

Hi all, pretty new here and just purchased a 80 series LC, 1994 to be exact. Was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for a really good to great mechanic that knows LandCruisers in the Central Florida Area? Thanks.

This may be the total wrong place to post this, I wasn't exactly sure. I'm at a point in life where I've decided to finally get into my dream rig. I'm really set on 80 Series Diesel cruisers. I know these are getting "more" common here in the states with recent imports, but I'm admittedly still...
