repair

Hey guys - we have a 2003 LX470 that my wife drove to Asheville to visit family. I am worried the catalytic converter on it may be toast. Is there somewhere in town that she could get it looked at on the weekend? I'm worried about her potentially driving it home - two kids with her too.

I'm just getting into the top repairs and the fiberglass is covered in spider cracks. I did some reading up and common repair is to take a Dremel to all the cracks then apply gel coat. There are so many cracks I think I am better of to sand all the gel coat off and apply new gel coat. Anyone...

Hello everyone! I'm pretty new here as I just acquired my first 60-series a couple of weeks ago, but I have some questions about the C-Channels on the rig. I'm wondering if I could get away with not replacing them and just de-greasing/metal-prepping/POR-15-ing them, or if they need to be...

Can this still be repaired?

So I smashed my tank in on the rubicon and I am trying to think of a way to pull it back down any ideas? My float is stuck at half tank also but the low level light still works

I unfortunately have to sell my truck. We're doing an addition to our house and the funds are needed there. Long story short, the timing belt blew and the truck needs some amount of work. I don't know exactly as I haven't fully investigated with a mechanic. As I understand, after speaking with...

Does anywhere sell this baffle between intake and exhaust? I also had some good luck getting bolts out of the upper exhaust flange so I might go and buy a lotto ticket lol. I did chase the threads, I also need bolts. Also haven't finished cleaning the surface so. Not rebuilding the outside...

Just starting to restore a my 67 fj40. I have the fiberglass roof off and getting ready to repair the holes and dings. The outside is heavily weathered and the cloth and glass strands are exposed. Were these initially painted or gel coated? This has some remaining white coating in places...

Hey fellow Mudders, Wanted to get some advice and direction for my FJ40 situation. Last Friday we trailered my cruiser out to NE Oregon to get married. Cruised around Joseph/ Enterprise just fine the night before. Day of, ladies took my red truck (to keep their hair nice) and the dudes rode...

Video of issue Hey there guys. I recently bought a 1991 Fj80. It’s my first land cruiser experience. When I bought it I missed a significant amount of rust on the body. I talked to a guy who said he has seen this problem before and suggested that I come here for help. I am in the New Mexico...

I've been super careful and made it through a valve cover gasket R&R, intake R&R, Plenum R&R, IAC repairs, radiator hose replacements, belt swaps, water pump R&R, etc. and thought I'd succeeded in avoiding the fate of my past 80's and didn't break the dang nipple on the radiator. Then last night...
