problem

This is front passenger wheelwell

When I'm in high range, my 80 is struggling to go up a mildly steep hill offroad from a stop. Similarly, it struggles to roll over a railroad tie from a complete stop in high and will do the same thing in reverse. It feels like it's loading up and just can't get enough power/torque to get up...

I have a 91 land cruiser and the gas gauge reads sometimes. When I fill up it reads full for awhile then after driving it goes to 0 or to half. If the level if anywhere above half it'll indicate randomly, but once its below half it reads 0. Low fuel light still works as it should. Any insight to...

Ok the other day I removed the battery and battery tray to adjust my steering box. When I returned everything back to normal and went to start it this problem occurs. Turn key to acc powers up everything hear clicking. Turn key all the way to start it KILLS ALL POWER until I remove negative...

Hi guys, Driving home the other day I got out to open the gate where I’m staying and noticed an unusual whining noise. Please have a listen to the video at the bottom of the post and let me know what you think. It’s a sustained noise that only appeared after I started up and drove around this...

Hello! Wondering if I’m crazy. I was looking to replace front brakes and rotors on my ‘17 GX that just turned over 40k miles. I just bought this car about 6 months ago. Long story short, upon taking apart my caliper, I discovered that the caliper appears to be split down the middle where it was...

Howdy guys, Bought an 87 FJ 60 and inherited some problems. When we got it running it wasn't firing on 1 and 2 and had a rough idle (but it could get low, around 700 rpm). It would fire on 1 and 2 if the rpms went higher, but not at idle. Tested the intake manifold with starter fluid and it...

Hello. I have HDJ100 4.2td from 1998 with A442F auto box. My problems is it don't shift as it should. When I put it in D(drive) it goes for a sec in 1st gear and than it drops to 3rd gear and it's stuck in it. Only option to drive is to put it in L position to force it in 1st gear and than...

Ok guys, I feel really stupid asking this, and I’m scared to find out the answer. I’m 99% sure that this isn’t supposed to be like this and I’ve broken something, so I’m going to ask because I don’t even know where to start on the fix. (I’m also 15 and attempting to learn about cars through...

So i’ve had my junkyard find cruiser for almost 8 months now, and in the past couple months, ive noticed this non-rythmic knocking coming from (seemingly) the right side of the engine. Its slowly gotten more consisten, which concerns me. The video ive attached does a pretty solid job summing it...

Hey guys, This is my first thread so here it goes. I bought a 1997 FZJ80 land cruiser a little over two years ago, and it was totaled when i found it and hadn't moved in 6 years. I've got it back to stock and more to where it's becoming an expedition vehicle now. One thing that hasn't worked...

Over the last couple days, I've been installing a new Icon suspension on my stock 2013 LC200. The lift is about 2.5" and (other issues aside) the last thing I need to do but can't figure out for the life of me, is reconnecting the left-hand side stabilizer bar link. I've tried jacking up the...

Hello guys how are you i have a 1hz engine with my 80 :) i have been noticing my engine with 1st gear when i rev up something strange vibration coming from 1st gear :( something of a wired feeling in steering wheels and its like under compressor but running fine. also this is a anther problem...

Hey Guys I'm new here and just wondering if I could some opinions on my situation before I go through with this purchase. I recently received a 1996 Toyota Landcruiser from my dads friend in very good condition. The other day while I was picking up lunch an old man hit my back bumper 2 times...

Our lovely cruiser got rear ended a while back and after fixing and re-aligning the body, the left side goes through a new set of tires pretty quick. I made a thread about this, but never got back to it. Anyone know what the problem may be? Rusty Axle by Elfego posted Sep 24, 2017 at 3:50...

First of all, let me apologize because I am not a mechanic and I have a lot of information to convey so I hope it makes sense. Problem: My car is a 1968 FJ40 with a Chevy 350 TBI swap. It starts and runs but it overheats and once it is warm (not overheated) it backfires through the intake...

Like many others before me, my 40 had a choke cable that was in very bad shape and beyond repair. Of course like many before me, I went online to order a new one only to discover that Toyota had discontinued FJ-40 choke cables years ago. What was I to do? There were plenty of aftermarket...

History: My brakes are "spongy" for lack of a better word. The pedal depresses almost to the floor and then there is slight resistance for a few inches before the brakes engage. Over these few inches of resistance, the pedal travel is spongy and at no time "firm". I replaced all soft lines...

So I took the old girl out for her monthly workout with some friends over the weekend. On the way home she died on the side of the road. My tech told me it was probably an alternator or battery problem. When we took it apart this is what we got. Looking for any suggestions to prevent this from...

Has anyone ran into this.I just installed longfeilds into my 78 fj40 the only issue i have is the axle is not long enough to put clip on. I have the warn hubs but the axle is just about flush with the hub it looks like it needs to come out about 1/4 inch or so to be able to put the cluip on. Any...
