I'm flying to look at a 2006 Land Cruiser in Spokane. After going through the complete dealer service history, conversations with the owner, and pictures it looks like a good vehicle, and we agreed on a price. I've purchased many 3rd gen 4runners but never a LC, I've read through Slee's 100...

Happy Turkey Day! Recent Deer strike left my7 driver side front end smashed up. Air bags did not go off, all damage seems to localized to driver side front end. Insurance said it doesn't cover deer strike so I'm SOL. I've been round and round with the insurance, now looking for out of pocket...

My first post. I have a, new to me, 1983 Land Cruiser with the stock wheels and bumpers. It has and 2.5 OME lift / suspension and 31" tires on 15" stock rims. I have been reading that changing the heavy steel wheels for lighter forged aluminum will really make a difference in the driving...

I'm thinking about power steps for my 80. The motorized ones that lower automatically with the doors. Either a complete running board style, or just a single step like this. Amp is one if the larger players, but does not list one by application for the FJ80. Which vehicle would be the...

On my 84, this is by far the worst area for rust. Passenger side is worse, but both sides need addressed. There is reinforcement here for the rear seat mounts. That's specifically what I'm wondering about. I can cut out tge offending area and replace it with a single patch, but what about the...

Refurbishing my engine, 4 exhaust manifold studs broke off. Removed 2, 2 are left like in the picture below. Started drilling, unfortunately strayed a little off-center. What is my best option here? Bolt extractors are NOT working. Anyone has an idea of the threads by heart for when I retap them?

As usual, as winter turns to fall and temps drop, there's a lot of talk about diesels in the cold, especially if you are new to winter dieseling... So I thought a run down of my experiences with preheating methods might be helpful? This is borne out of 18 years of JDM diesel experience in temps...

the distributor has internal fail ash’s need replacement. OEM best option? Any other options? Part #? Thanks

I have read up on this but wanted to make sure I had the latest info. Looks like auto custom carpets and stock interiors end up being about the same price when choosing their top of the line carpet with mass backing. Each was just a little over $700. Stock interiors and ACC each have mats but...

I would like to read others input on what brand of REAR control arms they used, why, experiences, satisfaction, etc. I see different brands. Most seem to have Johnny Joints. Are these reliable? Or do they squeak if not constantly lubed? I tried searching but didn’t find much. Thank...

Well it almost got me! I had a knuckle arm coming loose on my passenger side. Caught it just in time! My question is, does any one have info on a replacement stud/cone washer/nut that I could find locally at Napa until my real stud kit arrives? I don’t want to ride around on 3 for too long..

Hi all, thanks for the add. I joined the GX club about 2 months ago since than I have upgraded to ARB skid plates and a set of falken wildpeak AT3W 265/65/18 tires on F-Sport wheels at stock height. I just came back from Silverton, CO, and did engineer pass, cinnamon pass, and along some other...

So, I like my LX 470 a lot, to the point where I'd probably want to replace it with another 100 Series should it get totaled. With some 100 Series already eligible for US import, I might think about importing one with all kinds of options and goodies never available here in the States... which...

Hey all, Im trying to piece together a super short driveshaft with a steep angle. Ive got a 4runner double cardan front driveshaft but it seems like the cardan head is pretty lengthy (7.5ish inches from weld to weld). Any suggestions on the most compact double cardan I could replacethis with...

Here is what I've found. Delphi FE0402: This one is currently $130 via Amazon, with strainer also available separately. It's shorter than the OEM pump, so you must utilize the longer section of fuel hose that comes with it, probably a good idea in any case. Denso 950-0109: $143 via...

Good day one and all; I have a 1978 BJ40 with the 'B' engine which is shot. Has anyone been able to drop anything other then another 'B' without running into a lot of problems? Just wondering. Thanks, Don

Hi all, my sister in law has a 2003 Toyota Sequoia and one of her cats was stolen last night. There's an o2 sensor in it. She's hesitant to install a new one due to the chance it could happen again. Has anyone here just welded a straight pipe on, and left the engine light on - has it actually...

I’ve done an LS swap and to minimize initial costs, I have stuck with the OEM air filter. It’s been a few years, added a snorkel and now rejiggering battery & washer bottle & it looks like I need something smaller than the factory air box. Seems I have seen K&N air filters in roughly the...

What is everyone's opinion on a 100 series starter these days? Toyota is reman, so is denso. Any better options in 2023? Also what else needs to be replaced besides the intake gaskets?

Hello All. Greetings all the way from Kenya. I have a 2nd Gen KZ130 for just over a year now. absolutely love it. The seats are a little worn out and dont offer much support. Any suggestions for what seats can be swapped in from different model cars? or any companies still making aftermarket...
