As some know I am changing my oil and the PO had "gooked" up the oil pan plug with Permatex and a Toyota gasket. I removed the plug and Viola! there is a dent at the six o'clock position where the gasket goes. I am planning on using JB weld to level the dent out. Is there a better product or...

Hello All, 2000 LX470 ~110k miles - no known previous work done on the a/c system. Before I ask what the codes mean, a brief history of the problem: First, noticed issue when cold air stop coming out of the vents with the A/C on. A/C light was not blinking at this time, but remained solid...

I am hoping you all could help me diagnose this. For the record I am a converted Land Rover guy. I heard durability and capability and came running to here. Been great ever since. I have a 2002 LC with 212,XXX miles with brand new 33 in. BFG KO2s. I am hearing a creak/rattle coming from my...

Hi guys, Just uploading this because I thought some of you might like it. I am lucky enough to have the time and money to travel from Los Angeles to Argentina in my FJ62 with my girl. Two nights ago we hit a bull which the owner was dragging through a city area. It went crazy and ran across...

Hello everyone! I’m in need of replacing my “accelerator cable” or throttle cable on my 96 LX450 as the gas pedal has developed a catch/sticky point. I’m wondering if anyone has: 1) Has anyone replaced theirs? 2) Has anyone replaced theirs with an aftermarket cable? 3) Would you recommend...

I've got an '03 that has serious brake issues. A bunch of warning lights come on and a high pitched alarm sounds. I took it to a LC specialist and they say the equivalent of the power booster is shot and it'll take around $4,000 to put a new one in. Any thoughts on a reliable rebuilt...

Hello dears! First off, sorry if this is the wrong part of the forum to post in. I'm from Kuwait, and here the land cruiser has legendary status and loved by everyone, so resale value is skyhigh and parts are abundant everywhere you look. I recently bought a land cruiser 100 series gxr1 the...

Hi guys, I bought my car with this giant dent in it (which most likely is why the cars status is salvaged). Anyhow I feel like the car deserves to have that dent fixed. I've been trying to find inspiration here on ih8mud, Youtube and Google in general. Most people use a combination of a...

Hey all, I am new here, but have a 1990 FJ62 that has a water leak after about 10 minuets of driving in rain. The water was coming in right at the seam in the headliner, See picture. I paid 500 bucks :( to have the windshield replaced and resealed... but still leaked... EFFFFFFFFF. So then, I...

Tried a look around and can not find the problem with my non working rear running lights...... all else works well... front marker, turn signals, brake lights, interiors, bulbs n sockets r good, grounds that I can find seem good..... when I turn on the running lights there is a slight (30% ish)...

Replaced the air springs on my '08 GX470 last night with Arnott bags (Part A-2949) and I thought you would enjoy a writeup on how I did it, what I learned and how it went. First, I apologize for the lack of pics, I had thought about doing a video edit of the whole thing, but I was VERY tired...

I am having a hard time finding a trustworthy Auto Repair Shop for my 1991 FJ80 which has had an LS engine conversion. I am having trouble finding a place that 1) doesn't roll their eyes at the thought of having to work on a LC that has had an engine conversion (understandable to an extent) and...

Is it to late to turn this beast back into its former glory? It came from Illinois, land of the salty roads that breed rust on metal. Pics aren't the best but you get the general idea of how bad the rust is underneath. Surface rust doesn't look to bad although it has been repainted so who knows...

First off, yes I am stupid. I've been through enough self-hatred and regret for damaging the neatest truck I've ever seen. It is what is is, and my door is smashed. So I was backing my FJ40 out of my garage, and I thought my door was closed. The latch was half-closed, but just enough to swing...

Decided to sell my 1995 Honda Shadow 1100 ACE cruiser. American Classic Edition. 3670 miles. Clearly, I have not made time to ride it much. The issue is that it appears that it is only worth about $2k and it currently will not start -- fuel related. I have a new fuel pump and hoses that I...

Hi, Last year I embarked on the adventure to buy and drive a 1997 FZJ 80 4.5 in eastern Tajikistan. Spare parts are rare and so are qualified mechanics... Being tired of well-meant but not well-informed smattering, I try to figure out things myself. So, I'd be glad if anybody could help me...

As new. $30 shipped.

I just picked up a used 1FZ that I know absolutely nothing about. I found this on the rear passenger side freeze plug. Kinda looks like some sort of plug or patch but have never seen anything like it before.

I was thinking the other day on how easy these engines are to work on. Spark plugs, cake. Alternator, minor irritation. Power steering pump, moderate irritation. AC, haven't tried yet... Starter, tedious and long but not that difficult, really. Timing belt? Compared to a lot of other cars out...
