This is probably "preaching to the choir" for anyone that offroads, but I thought I'd bring it up again. The factory diff breathers on the 80 series aren't very high in the chassis. They are easily submerged and/or smothered in mud. They can suck in water, or get clogged up pretty easily. I...

New guy, and long term Toyota/Lexus 100/200 owner and fan

Howdy, long time 100/200 series and general Toyota/Lexus fan and owner checking in

Spring center bolt stripped the threads right off it.. Spring pack wasn't even snug yet. Bad heat treat is my guess. The ones I got from cruiser brothers (one succeed on failed) appears to be: 3/8-24.head diameter 9/16 total length 4-3/4". Does that sound correct for Toyota? I was...

replacing Hub flanges as there is a bit of a clunk N to D with a bit of rotational play drivers side hub. Cone washers were an absolute nightmare until a trip to HF for a compressor and air hammer … $300 on day 1 could have saved 3 very frustrating days (parts thereof). Question: Should there...

Need some help with this. In 2000 LX AC works only when it's on MAX COLD. Otherwise blows hot air. I for some reason think it might be inside temp sensor, but not sure. My first idea was to see what sensor reads in Techstream but couldn't find anything like that. I can only see if AC compressor...

I’ve done some searching on this site and facespace. But haven’t found a solution. Maybe I’ve got bad search skillz ?… but, advise would be appreciated. Both of my rear windows on my 97 80 started falling of the window track at the same time. I have cleaned the rails, lubed, checked alignment...

I have a Maroon Red 80. It has the typical clear coat failure on the roof and hood. It has busted OEM fender flares that I need to repair and replace before getting the vehicle roadworthy inspected for registration. I have sourced some decent used OEM flares, but they still need some touching...

I have had my 85 FJ60 for 24 years and have gone through just about everything in that time, suspension, engine rebuild, 5 speed, body work... It was time for California smog again and for the last few years the truck has not gotten a lot of use so I went through the usual checklist of timing...

I’m hoping for some assistance with a reoccurring issue with my 07 LX470. I bought the truck from an individual this May. Ever since I’ve been having sporadic problems with a dtc code, P0101, “mass or volume air flow sensor ‘A’ circuit range/performance.” This only happens about every 500...

Hey squad. Wanted to get more eyes on this. I don't want to assume or jump to conclusions but this seems like a flip to me. Anyone feel the same way? Any thoughts on this cruiser? I've been in the market for a while and I keep striking out, seems impossible to find a good deal. Any thoughts are...

For breakin im using TS4 which i use in tractors but i feel like thats not a long term solution

I have read several threads as well as swapped on 80 series alternator previously. I am missing something as I read the alternator can be swapped without removing the battery, battery tray, oil filter and Power Steering Reservoir to Pump hose. The last swap I assisted on we pulled the fan...

I had to replace my cats on my 1997 so I went with the Magna Flow one Cat easy bolt on. Assembly was no issue and running with one Cat isn’t bothering any of the engine management systems. I thought it to be an okay idea! But, now after a few months I have noticed way more heat being produced...

I previously owned a gray 2006 LX. I sold it last year with 216K. It was super clean. I bought a 2018 blue onyx LC earlier this year with 74K as a certified vehicle from a Toyota dealer - it's a great vehicle. There's just something about the 100 that I miss. I'm assuming that I'm in the...

I wanted to make this to document the life of the FJ I recently acquired. I have 0 experience with them, but a large portion of my motivation for acquiring one is that my brother-in-law who I love and adore deeply is a HUGE Land Rover guy, and I thought this would annoy him the most, because A)...

Well there is an 18" steelie out there that should fit. Golly they are ugly though. 3rd Gen Tundra SR wheels.
