I can see that I am going to have lots of questions with my 73 FJ40 that I recently brought home so I figured I would consolidate them in one single thread. I'm impressed with the many immaculate 100 point restorations here but my project will be about turning my neglected cruiser into a rough...

So, I am dreaming of a 1HD-FT swap in my FJ40 (would stretch it 10"). I'd be running an H55F behind the 1HD-FE through for what I am thinking here I might see if there is a way to run an NV4500 or TR4050 instead. Seeing the prices of used 1HD-FT's, it seems that I could get a Cummins 2.8 new in...

Having issues with starting and keeping the truck running. Have diagnosed that the ICS is failing and wondered if anyone along the route home from Solid Axle Summit might have a spare I can buy from them. Headed out today and will be traveling W on I-70 to S on I-15 stopping in the Zion Area...

Anyone have a line on 70 series fender flares in the states? Thanks boys.

Hey Y’all, My auxbeam switch stopped working recently, and I’m having some difficulty with troubleshooting. Below is a picture of the switch and information on voltage readings taken with my multimeter. Any thoughts on what might be the issue are greatly appreciated. All voltage...

Hey all - want to start by saying thanks for all the posts here over the years. Super helpful at every breakdown and mod crisis along the way and couldn't have been nearly as confident tackling things without this community. Hats off. Finally did the airbag delete after replacing what I thought...

I've been a very happy Hundy owner for the past 10 yrs. My rig is an '03 with 210k miles on it that I picked up in 2013 with 88k miles. It's been fantastic to own. I started searching for the face lifted 2016+ 200 a couple of years ago, but it was hard to swallow $70k + for a used rig that in...

Toyota vehicles have a strange Total FT PID. At first glance, one would expect the normal definition of Total FT = Short FT + Long FT. However, the data shows that this is not the case. I was not able to find a clear definition of what Total FT is, but this post tries to explain it a bit more...

Asking for my step dad here. A while back his 1973 fj40 was stolen from their property. Hey got it back thanks to Facebook but nothing legally could be proven… A second attempt to steal it happened a few months later by the same people. Anyways, it’s suspected that the thief’s drove the 40 on...

I am down to my last blank button spot on my OEM dash for my 2017 LX. I'm thinking of moving my Redarc brake controller knob here and wonder if any one has used this blank spot left of the steering wheel. I haven't yet pulled this out but I wonder, is there enough room to drill out the two...

the hayull outta anywhere near my wires. I’m not worried about gas mileage or any other concerns. I’m just worried for my wires. Now that I’ve got that out of the way, has anyone simply cut the pipe down low (remove front left wheel and starter to get low enough) and fill the stubby leftover...

Been 6 months since I bought this 2003 lx 470 with 300k and made the mistake of taking it in for service at Lexus for the tune of $$$ embarrassed to say how much. Well the one thing they didn’t do was the tees and hoses. My guess was they were original. Bought the kit and special tool for the...

Any info on colors for the mid tier LC 2024 thanks

New to me 76 FJ40. Headlights worked no issues until yesterday. I went out for a walk with my kid and since he was asleep when I got back I took advantage of the few extra minutes and swapped out the old turn flasher with a new one. Tested flashers - they worked, got kid up and went along with...

What's everyone's thoughts on the 4 banger?

I was hoping that we could have our own discussion here about tonight's reveal. The thread over in the GX550 forum is like trying to stomach through Reddit. Just too much antagonistic drivel. Maybe that's just a product of the 4Runner and the GX guys all getting together in one place. On...

Searched and didn't find any threads for this newer tire. Wildpeak AT3Ws are pretty popular, so probably some interest floating around for a new R/T in that family. Already seems to come in all the popular sizes for 17/18/20 inch wheels. There is 35x11.5R17 and in 18s and 20s also. They run...

I'm looking at the option of replacing my tub with a 79+ Chinese tub. Which manufacturer makes the best full body. Any real world reviews would be appreciated. I'm not interested in a gozzard, aqualu or south American tub.

How did you restore your signal plastic covers?
