Hey guys, new here. I am hoping for a tall and skinny tire, and I am deciding between 265/70/18 or 275/70/18. I’m choosing between the Nokian Outpost nAT or the falken Wildpeak AT4W. Both seem to offer stronger side walls for an SL tire. Would the slightly narrower width cause issues with...

Hello fellow 80 series owners. I had a 1991 LC about 15 years ago, sold it and wanted one ever since. So, here I am with my new to me 1992 triple locked cruiser. I got it from Japanese Classics in Richmond, RHD version. It’s clean, has a little surface rust on the body underneath, but that’s...

Amazed I never found this forum before. I will be reading many of these threads as I try to improve my 85 FJ60 with new parts and fixes to keep it running smoothly. Gerry

Recently purchased a 2010 LX570 and used all the valuable insights here to help guide my decision. Now I'll try to pay it back/forward by contributing when appropriate. My first order of biz is to replace the blown rear subwoofer without "investing" $600-800+ for the whole assembly (new). I've...

Evening all thank you for letting me join I've seen plenty of posts pop up on search engines and thought it'd about time i joined, hopefully i can be of help to many.

I am in the process of purchasing this rig out of state GA - '78 FJ40 - 3FE - https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/rv5m5mfdtl8v3014nzn04/h?rlkey=a879mmnxlq0e71u0nz1ltr23v&dl=0 , subject to inspection, and it's nowhere near any of the Land Cruiser specialists I've seen listed here or elsewhere. I am...

Hi ya all here with other questions because I’m a cruiser newbie. Does this colter meter looks okay to you guys?

Hello there, This is my first LC, first forum, first ever post, and first ever real mechanic work other than an oil change, so a complete newbie here for sure! I've been perusing the forum for a while, and it has been a tremendous help, so thanks to all who contribute. Not sure if I should...

Hello all. Cruiser guy here stopping in for some advise for my fathers 2010 double cab. I put about a 2.5 inch lift on it for him a while back. His tires are shot and just look silly with the lift. Dad is older in age and I am going for a good AT for him as he still gets into the woods and...

I'm looking to purchase a Prado here in Costa Rica. The two models that I'm considering are the pre 2002 J90 with the turbo 1KZ-TE diesel and the post 2002 J120 with the intercooled turbo 1KD-FTV diesel. There doesn't seem to be a big price differential between the two models - they are both...

Anyone have a lead on cruise control parts for a 1990 FJ62? I believe it is # 59D-02392-2. I recently acquired my Dad's 1990 FJ62, so I'm jumping on the fix it list. One of the first things was that the speedo didn't work, but when the guys went to fix it, they realized that it had dealer...

My current rigs: '92 XCab 4x4 with Tacoma wheels. This rig has a badly slipping clutch so I rarely use it on public roads. Mostly for use on my residential mountain property (16 acres, 5 forested in the PNW). My truck - '97 Dodge 3500 4x4 flatbed with Cummins (plan is to convert this to an...

Hello, all! I'm excited to be here and am new to both the group and LC ownership. Exciting times, at least I feel that way. I've seen there's a meet up this Sunday at Rudy's on 360. I hope to be there, but we have a few other commitments that day as well. We currently live off Cuernavaca, and...

Hello everyone! Thank you for taking time for me today. I recently purchased, from the original owner, a 1999 100 series with 150,000 miles. It's all original condition. I'd like to raise the front suspension and install oversized tires and wheels (currently 275/60R16). Not wanting to make this...

So I am a long-time stalker of this forum and will finally be getting my first LC100 next week. My dad has had one for a long time and is looking to finally move to a smaller SUV so I am going to buy his off of him. It's a 2005 w/ about 190K on the odometer. It's in great shape with all of...

Hello Everyone, I have been lurking a while and really enjoy the pics and wealth of knowledge here. I'm in the western burbs of Chicago. Feel free to connect. Thanks, Sam

Howdy, I'm new to Toyotas and the 80 series. I did my searching for a few weeks on the boards but I got my 94 LC with the ABS light on. Did the blink codes and got codes 31,32,35 31, Right front speed sensor malfunction 32, Left front speed sensor malfunction 35, Open circuit in left front or...

Hello All New to forum, first post. Might have made a purchase with ♥️ instead of 🧠. 69 FJ 55. I think I’m in love but soooo much work to do. Would love input from you experts out there. She runs, won’t hold a charge, needs brakes worked on. Many pictures to come over the coming wk. Robyn

My son and I bought this as his first vehicle. Went halvsies with him. Paid $10,700. 221,000mi with excellent service history. But he’s got a list of things to work on. Here’s the list… Tires (wants 33’s and different wheels) Replace filters Wheels (Maybe find some Tundra wheels for cheap...
