Bought a new 2023 460 a week ago. Part of my negotiations was for the dealer to include the class 4 hitch and I would install. I wanted to crawl around underneath the truck and put my peepers on all the new. Safety message: the OE bracket for the trailer lighting plug can be very sharp. I...

Recently bought a 2004 LX470 with 164k miles on it. AHC has been deleted and replaced with OEM LC parts. It has minor surface rust in a few spots. The “skid plate” has the most rust on it but that’s going to the trash to be replaced. The first thing is it needs tires. Only thing not working is...

https://www.copart.com/lot/67907743/salvage-2015-toyota-land-cruiser-ca-rancho-cucamonga I'm about to auction mine off at Copart and would like to talk to the owner of this if selling on a "public consignment" basis to compare notes. I suspect that this is more likely a salvage vehicle running...

What's up everyone.. Names Rob just picked up a 93 fj80, I hear this is the place to be so here I am.. big plans for this rig to come.. I've been building and wheeling Suzuki sidekicks for many years, but as the family grows we needed something bigger.. I absolutely love this thing! Has an ome...

Now I'm not new to IH8MUD of course, but I have my first foray into the Prado platform with my 2013 GX 460, 33k on the clock and it's already in the shop! (for the exploding airbag recall as well as the secondary air campaign). I can't do a lot of modding due to my extended warranty... but I am...

New 75 series owner, any leads of a 75 1/2 cut would be appreciated. Specifically looking for a section of sheet metal from under the window shield frame on the drivers side.

Well kept original owner everything works it is an every day driver, tires/brakes good. no thumps or clanks. Hydraulic accumulators new, OEM parts from Japan Suspension working great, Smooth as can be. Always garaged. most every quirky repair in the forum has been done on this car. $20K or best

Hello, I just picked up this 2002 LC last week and have really enjoyed it so far. Despite the higher miles (230k) it runs extremely well and is super comfortable...no doubt because of it's extensive maintenance history. This thing is 100 percent stock...at least for now. One issue that has me...

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...

I just purchased a Silver 2010 GX460 with 140k miles for $19k out the door and I would appreciate some advice. I come from a 2005 GX470 (bought for $7k, sold 3 years later for $7k) with 240k miles and 3 years (60k miles) of overlanding experience with a Roofnest rooftop tent. We mainly get...

Just wanted to start a thread to introduce myself and ask a few questions about an LC I’m considering buying. First off, I live in central MS and currently drive a 2011 Tundra. I’m considering buying an LC (1 owner) from a lady I know. This will not be replacing my tundra or be a daily...

Hello everyone, I've been a lurker for about a year now as I've planned this project. I'm a college student in Portland, who has been obsessed with 40s since living in Bolivia while in high school. They're everywhere there and for a few years I planned on importing a couple (turns out people...

Hey everybody, Brand new LC owner here. 2004 Cruiser with only 163k on the dash. Before I bought took some time to research in here and felt like despite the age, the potential reliability of these vehicles when cared for far outweighed the potential negatives, especially considering the overall...

Greetings! I've wanted an 80 series LC since I was in high school (mid-90s). Finally found this 1996 GXL semi-locally and picked her up yesterday. Has an LS3 / 4L80E upgrade and she sounds amazing. Very clean for it's age (I think) so I'm stoked! My plan is to keep her as a 'sleeper' type, as...

Hello all, I just became a member yesterday. I didn’t see a place to introduce yourself so I figured this would be the best place as I’m hoping to be a 70 owner. My plan is to find the best HZJ73 I can afford and use it for my daily driver. My wife’s SUV we can use for any longer trips but...

Hi everyone! About a month ago I bought a 1999 Lexus LX470…actually 2, got a parts vehicle in the deal… Of course that means I have been researching information, fixes and mods, and that means I have ended up here a lot. There is so much here! I’m looking forward to being part of the...

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...

Hi there, I brought this beast out from Maryland, luckily not much rust, as it was originally from the SW anyway. Since buying, I've replaced the tires and battery, done what I could with the undercarriage rust, probably needs a new starter. It has aftermarket seats and a new stereo. Spare tire...

Bumper ? For one reason or another a glitch of sorts has taken out your question about the front bumper ? Unfortunately, I couldn’t get back to it.... it went into hyperspace !! Try it again through the ‘conversation’ icon instead ! GroundEater

Just bought this 92' a couple of weeks ago. Got her for a song and am loving beginning to get to know my way around the LC setup. Crossing over from the Jeep world. Not looking to wheel heavily anymore (did plenty of rock crawling with the Jeeps - kinda bored with that game). I am mostly...
