Howdy all, Just joined as this seems to be one of the few places on the internet where one can find information on the Toyota 3L diesel engine. Not new to diesels myself, I'm a glutton for GM 6.5 diesel punishment and run a 2003 VW ALH TDI as well. I'm a big fan of the older, more simple...

Greetings all! First Land Cruiser, 2001 with 238k miles, bought a few months ago. I've been reading this forum since, and have replaced timing belt, water pump, heater T's, plugs and valve cover gasket, as well as new leather on front seats. I am now on a quest to fix the suspension. I've read...

Greetings, I am new to this forum. I just purchased a 06 LX470 and am looking forward to learning a lot here. I have some mechanical abilities and plan to put them to use. I will be replacing CV joints with OEM. Dealer wants $572 each and I found OEM part at Autonation for around 27% less...

Hi I’m a new member… my name is Ted H… And I’m addicted to my 4runner. Picked her up in NorCal 2 years ago, drove her home to NY and she’s treated me well. Had her undercarriage coated with fluid film to protect her from our salty roads. When I bought her she had a rough country spacer lift and...

Hello all! I am going to pick up a 1975 BJ40 on the 9th. A 1975 FJ40 was the first vehicle that my wife and I owned. Great times with it. Purchase in San Angelo, TX while at some military type training. Explored parts of NM, headed east to MA for more training then shipped her to Germany. #...

Greetings all! Just a quick Hi from NC. I'm a career firefighter and army veteran. Currently driving a 2008 4runner, V6, with 303k on the clock. I only have some mild mods right now, a small lift with Bilstein 5100's, FJC springs, rear diff and breather mod. Over the years I've found some...

Just a quick introduction. I'm Mark and I imported my Cruiser 18 months ago from Japan and have really started enjoying the project. Did my 2" lift this morning and my 33 10.50 15 KO2's will be here next week. Here it is as of today.

Good morning haters, new member here. BJ40 1977

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...

Hey everyone, I just purchased my first LC, a 2000 with 247k miles. I originally started looking at 4x4 Toyotas with the 2UZ, like the 4Runner and Sequoias in the 2000s, but I was keeping the search open to 100-series Cruisers too. I am in Maine, and we have plenty of rust up here. After...

Long time guest and finally joined the group. Picked up a 77 Fj40 many months ago that someone wasn’t able to get back together. So much good info on here that’s been extremely helpful so far. The engine was full of water when I bought the project. Still working the breaking it free but in...

Finally picked up my first 100 series. A crystal white pearl '06 LX470 with 91K and almost zero rust. Timing belt, water pump, tensioner changed before purchase. Lexus serviced. Heater T's are ordered and have started baselining fluids starting with the AHC (works great). I have a few other...

Recently picked up a 2004 100 Series. 85k miles, 1 owner, all maintenance done at Toyota dealer(s). Had it serviced / baselined, now ready to start building.

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...
