I have read some previous post on this issue with later model. I seem to have a different config than the '79'. I have removed the top hinge and the Bottom nut and spring. I find no screw in the channel that has been mentioned There is something just above the channel that I can't show in...

All - @lcwizard from 4 plus announced sales have slowed to a point that the doors will be closing and Nolan @wngrog even eluded to this in one of his threads a few weeks ago. 4Plusproducts - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/4plusproducts.1320637/ We know all of Dave's products are of top...

manually folded drivers side mirror in due to tight parking and now the mirror is wobbling around inside the housing. I hear clicking but it will not hold in one spot. any idea on the cause and repair options? TIA for any help!

Hello folks. Been lurking for a bit but first time posting regarding taking the plunge in purchasing my first land cruiser. I originally had my heart set on a late 70's FJ40 due to its simplicity, but given I'm a bit of a stickler for originality vs. modifications; the lack of top speed and...

After a lot of reservation, I've decided to post this. Sales on parts this year have dropped about 70% in comparison to the last five years so unless this economy completely turns around, I'll be shutting down parts production. I have inventory I'll work through and continue with shop projects...

Both are the same exterior and internal color. Rig 1: 2014 with 142k miles @ $42K Rig 2: 2015 with 76k miles. @ $52K Both are very clean. Rig 2 is near mint and single owner southern truck. Maintenance records look good for both. This would replace my 2013 with 176k miles that has been...

Anyone see the new ARB mid tier suspension? Looks very similar to the Bilstein 6112 series. Coming out with 4Runner kits, both regular and heavy load (probably would need the heavy load for GX460). https://arbusa.com/old-man-emu-4x4-suspension/mt64/

Am I correct in believing that a 2015 is identical in every way to a 2013? I am considering a couple 2015's (and some 2014's) in my search for a new base for the rebuild of my 2013. I intend on moving a lot/all of the mods over. I know most everything will move over. Its my TJM front bumper...

While shopping for my replacement 200 I found this. Recent trade and they are still cleaning it up. Currently only one pic. Looks built to some degree. I my mind, a built 200 is a weird trade in as I would think people into building 4x4s would private sell. Price is pretty good if the build...

Hey guys, currently restoring a 1981 hj47 and I’ve been chasing a little engine drama for awhile and can’t quite seem to fix it. The Ute I bought has had a couple restore attempts so not sure what’s been done engine wise, it’s blowing a decent amount of white smoke on acceleration and a small...

Hello all and greetings from KENYA!! I'm happy to have gotten my hands on a 2nd Gen (95) 4runner and the seats are incredibly worn. They have already been re-upholstered but the padding is completely worn out and offers no support. I would like to ask for ANY suggestions for either...

Hi all, I want to start doing some basic diagnostics on my LC 100 by myself. I have found that there is hardly anyone to help me here whenever I need some basic diagnostics. I was thinking of a very basic one for starters, where I can use my laptop (Linux or Windows, but preferably Linux)...

My son had a bad day today. “Dash clicking” during an attempted start… I’m still working through my fatherly stupidity phase, and with my son’s quick “IH8MUD” diagnosis, he had pinpointed the problem to “a blown fuse”, or “immobilizer issue”. Curiously enough, my NOCO 3000A jump box seemed...

Quick advice before I have time to search through the history of 'MUD. Hopped in the 100 to go to work today and the UltraGauge beeped with a notice of a pending P0300 code as I pulled out of the driveway. I parked it and took the 40 to work, but I'm curious about next steps before throwing...

Ok ... please no "use the search function" because trust me I have. If someone can link me where I missed it I'll eat crow. I have a drop in 6.5" sub that I am trying to get to work. I cannot test the stock amp because the "always on power" (Red/Black) doesn't have 12v. The ignition (gray)...

Have been admiring the 200 generation for some time and looking for a low mileage candidate, so had to jump on this 53k mile southern car when I saw it (and with mods already on that I would have added in short order). My go to rack would have been the rhino I have on my GX, but this gamiviti...

I'm not sure if this is new, but someone just shared it on a Facebook group. https://werewolftech.com/en/catalog/portal-axles/portals-for-toyota/portal-axles-for-toyota-land-cruiser-200

Alright so Project 250 had tundra seats thrown into it when I got my hands on it. I put some rough LC seats into the truck to get me by but the idiot cut the truck side harness in the floor. I have since found out that 1. LC seats are wired differently and 2. I suck at wiring. Due to this the...

Does anyone have the three running board mounting brackets they want to part with? Had an encounter with a rock.
