Really need some help figuring out what is happening with my Hilux Surf. I randomly found I was loosing coolant. No visible leaks lead me to think is was a Cylinder head issue. I took it to the shop and they did a two Carbon Dioxide tests on the radiator and found no exhaust gases present. Good...

My wife and I owned a FJ40 back in the 70's. Love at first sight - FJ and each other. being military, we shipped it to Germany for our 3-year tour. Sadly, it had to be traded for a faster more comfortable car when we got it back to the states. Now, we'll be having a '75 BJ40 from Costa Rica to...

Brief intro for the group...Wife and I picking up our first LC J80 in FL next week and driving back to TX. It's a bone stock, garage-kept 1994 HDJ81 import under 80K miles with 1HD-T, center diff lock, console cooler, and super clean interior. We're almost empty nesters and will start exploring...

Hi All, just a quick intro. Australian expat living in London. Originally had a 2018 150 however it was stolen from the front of our house in 2022 so have since “upgraded” to a 2014 200 Series, completely practical for London living I know! As many of you are no doubt aware the 200 (and now...

Hi all, Hope i'm posting in the correct place. Just purchased a 1991 FJ80. Brand new to the Land Cruiser world but have been a long time admirer. I really had no idea what a huge following this brand has! It's amazing! Our 80 runs good but has some oil and exhaust leaks from what i can tell...

First, as a forum veteran, but many years ago, it seems weird to post an intro in the tech section....but here goes...if the wrong please, please feel free to move/admonish as necessary. Picked up a (hopeful) deal for a 2004 LC with 262k miles on it and, as I did with my Cobra when I bought it...

I've had my 69 FJ40 for almost 40 years now and its time to restore it. It's been parked for some 15 years and has some cancer on it's backside from a lot of years of having a ton fun in the California Sierras back when I was young and never realized just how much mud the darn thing collected...

New owner here of a 2001 100-series, bone stock and I aim to keep it that way. Thoughts on common things to tend to in the near term for general sprucing and daily driveability?

Very excited to have picked up my first novelty vehicle. I've wanted a first gen 4Runner for a few years now, and with us essentially moving down to only using our newer wagon, I had my oppertunity to swap out the old minivan for a "family adventure vehicle". Was expecting to have to ship or fly...

I'm a freshman in college, looking to purchase a new vehicle. For a while I've known that if I'm going to spend the money on a vehicle, it's going to have to be a cruiser, otherwise I'll kick at myself forever. I am specifically interested in getting an FJ62 or HJ61. Now I know that owning one...

Hey everyone, This is my second post here on the forum, and I'm still currently looking for an 80 series within driving distance of where I live. I've started to look through the classifieds here, and I've continued scouring through craigslist, cars, and auto-trader listings, but even when I...

All: New guy to the Forum. Love me some Land Cruiser, especially the 80 (partial to the 60 series too, but not as much.) I spent a quarter century in the Military and traveled extensively overseas in 38 countries; and in every one of them Land Cruisers were ubiquitous. So know a bit about...

Good afternoon, to all. 37 years old, a fed and former vet. I am new to this whole process and I do not, currently, own an Fj but I am in the midst of aggressively researching and looking. My main purpose to being on here is to learn as much as I can about my initial purchase and what I should...

Hey there, Generally new to the idea of "overlanding" (camping out of your car) and I was wondering if I could get some help. I have done a brief search for what im looking for already but could not find what I was looking for, so please forgive me if Im posting something thats already on...

Hey guys, I'm unfortunately getting on here to get rid of my very needy project baby. This however will be my introduction post to the forum. I'm from Mississippi, picked this rig up from a trail rental place in Oregon when I was 15 as little more than a shell with an out of shape drivetrain...

Hello, What a great resource, I have been lurking for awhile. I live in central Nebraska and suprisingly we have very few Land Cruisers. Might have something to do with the fact that we have nothing higher than the median to climb... I have also been looking for a FZJ80 for a year or so. I...

Hi Hi all, I'm new here, and just learning my way around. I bought my 78 FJ40 brand new in 1979, and it was a daily driver for several years. I also took it places that I would never go now, getting older sometimes also means getting smarter. Anyway, my Cruiser sat for several years, neglected...

Hey everyone, New member and my first post, I've been researching and looking for a FZJ80 for a several months now and there just happens to be a 40th anniversary edition at a local oil change and inspection shop (literally 1/4 mile from my house). The truck is what I'm looking for as a DD -...

Hey guys, new to the forum and am in the market for an FJ62. I've driven a 4Runner for the last 10 years and have never owned a Land Cruiser, but have always wanted to own one. I'm now trying to search for an FJ62 that doesn't have to be a driver. I've found a couple that I thought were decent...
