mechanic

I like to work on my truck and do what I can with all the info on this site, but some jobs I know I could not do. I have a 94 with a bad rear main leak. Any one out there know of a reputable shop or mechanic with knowledge of these trucks in central Colorado (im in Eagle)? I know about SLee in...

I've been looking for a trustworthy shop to go through my HDJ81 in the coming weeks. Normally i'd take it to Yotamasters who are fantastic, but they have a several week waitlist as of today and they're also in Corona, which isn't exactly next door. Who do you recommend? Ideally, i'd like to...

I have a 2000 TLC. 165k miles. Bought it in October of 2016. When purchased had timing belt replaced as well as new radiator, water pump and thermostat installed. It's the wife's car. I rarely drive it. She's not mechanically inclined and oblivious to dash gauges. She told me yesterday...

Hello all! I'm in need of a mechanic to diagnose my FJ in the San Francisco to San Jose area. My engine light just came on. Also just got my oil changed but the light flickers on and off... could be the sensor? My rig is straight stock and have 157k miles on it. Thanks in advance everyone!

I just bought an 85 FJ60 and am looking for an honest mechanic in the greater Wilmington, NC area. Thanks

Hey, Just wanted to throw a recommendation out there for any FJ owners looking for a mechanic in the Boston area. Volsar Automotive in Medford is a great shop to work with. Eddy has alot of experience with FJ40/60/62/80s and has built several from the ground up. Very responsive, great guys.

I am looking for a recommendation on mechanic in the Tampa area (Seminal Heights is where the truck is located). The truck (1990 FJ60) is being used by my son and unfortunately his mechanical trouble shooting is limited and I am in Minnesota. It is a charging issue and likely an alternator but...

Hi, I must admit this is my first post on any kind of forum so I hope I got it in the right place. I recently moved to Cambridge, MA from Nairobi, Kenya where I'd lived for several years. In the process I had to say goodbye to my Land Rover Defender. A much loved G4 that had been on many...

Can anyone recommend an 80-experienced mechanic or shop in Grants Pass? Specialized would be best but I'll settle for anyone who knows their stuff at least somewhat specifically. Thanks

Hey everybody, I just moved out to Boulder, CO for work from North Carolina, so I obviously do not have local knowledge when it comes to getting my LC serviced, or worked on out here. Would love any advice or suggestions on some local shops, or trustworthy dealerships. Prefer to use a shop...

Just bought my first 91 fj80 and i am stoked. In the first 24 i replaced the belts and idler pulley bearings, fixed the rear passenger window which has been broken for years, the bottom track fell off, tightened the oil filter which was replaced the day i bought it. and tightened the exhaust...

Hi Guys, I am new to this forum, and just bought my first Cruiser in December. I am loving it! I do have some work to do on it. I have the cracked manifold ticking, and I think my alternator needs replacing. (The voltage regulator failed on a recent test, the Diodes passed. I also hear a...

Hi All! I've recently acquired a 1999 100 with 204k. I've been doing some light maintenance work (coil packs/plugs, fluids) but am looking for a mechanic in the area to do the alternator, timing belt, water pump and other assorted "baseline" work. Anyone have any recommendations? Thanks in...

Hey mud Looking for some help or advice as to where to seek help. Have a 1972 FJ40 that's been sitting for years, work being done on it every so often. Currently it runs, drives and stops, however there are some things holding me back from getting it registered. The brake lights work...

Moving to Harrisburg from Tampa in about a month. Anyone know of any good Cruiser mechanics in that area?

Hi folks, Wife called saying the 100 was stuck in park-- thanks to ih8mud, we were able to locate this: brake fuse fried by dadswithcars posted Jun 20, 2016 at 10:13 PM 1. Any ideas on how much/what kind of repair is needed here? The car has no brake lights now, and clearly a fuse cannot go...

Anyone know of a reputable land cruiser shop or mechanic in the Kansas City area?

I'm on a 6,000 mile trip in the FJ60 and have a few maintenance items I'd like to take care of near Santa Cruz if there is a shop in or around town (or a home shop with one of you guys would be even better). Items to address include: -carb adjustment (was tuned for 9,000 ft and will be mostly...

Hi Folks, I have followed this forum for years and referenced it quite extensively when I had a 2000 Land Cruiser that I swore I was going to keep for life -- that was until I was ordered to surrender it during a divorce (sad, sad day). Anyways, I am very happy to say that I am picking up a...
