There won't be a meetup for March. The Round Up acts as the meet because many of the group attends the event every year!
It's always a good time so I recommend going if you haven't been!
Good morning everyone,
Temps are getting cold here in AK. This morning was -30 F. I had the cruiser's (94) block heater plugged in all night. I let it warm up for 10 mins before I started the drive to work. After 5 minutes of driving, my throttle became stuck open at about 3000 rpms. It would...

There are two VSV's connected to the top of the Idle Up Actuator: VSV No.1 and VSV No. 2. The Idle Up Actuator has two ports on the top. I believe the Idle Up Actuator controls the small butterfly in the...
When I bought my 88 FJ62, the front passenger window did not operate at all. I just replaced the motor for that window and now that it’s installed, the new motor will work when pressing up on the switch (from both the driver master control and the passenger door control), but neither switch will...

First questions for the group....
I'm missing the Top and cab sides - there is a set in...
I've been battling my wipers for the better part of a year now and I'm stumped about how to proceed.
The motor is getting power and rotates fine when it is disconnected from the linkage. But when I hook it back up it sounds like the gear starts skipping as it goes up the windshield and then...
Saw this 06’ lx470 undercarriage looks too good to be true only 130k miles. Almost looks painted over. What do you think? Appreciate any help! Car is from Wisconsin
I was testing my AC Idle up, and while it was engaging, it was not consistent or strong enough(FJ62 Manual). I then 'bypassed' the AC Idle up Valve and found plently of suction to engage the suction cap switch. I found I was loosing pressure in the AC idle up valve, and some testing found that...
Looking at potentially picking up a stateside KZJ95 from Europe. Its got about 300km on it but its the non-intercooler version. It over heated and blew a HG apparently and thus the current owner is looking to get rid of it.
I'm not super familiar with the 1KZ yet so i'm wondering what kind of...
Hello, I've been reading the EWD for a while and searching past threads but unable to connect the dots to what I see under my 80. None of what I see matches the wire colors in the EWD.
Can anyone tell me if either of these connectors is from the factory?
I need to clean this up so I can...
Hey everyone, I recently picked up a new (to me) triple-locked 1997 Landcruiser with 225 thousand miles. I am new to this forum and to these vehicles, but I figured I would share some pictures since I've been reading up a good bit on here. It needs a little TLC but appears to be in pretty good...

Hey guys,
So my 2013 has all of the sudden started to stumble just after start up and feels like it’s going to die with a low idle. It only happens at start up and quickly goes away. Additionally it happens frequently regardless if the motor is cold or warmed up. This has been going on for a...
