Rosie Ruby is a 3H4 Medium Red K292 1997 Fzj80 full blown poverty pack edition... No lockers, fabric interior, no roof rack, no rub rails and most importantly no sunroof. She's a rare beaut... @shellb has an eye for these beauts. When he saw her on the craigslist he had to have her and...

There is an abundant supply of FSMs for 2011 LX570s on eBay that I am assuming are counterfeit. Can anyone in the know tell me if there are significant changes between 11' and 14'? From what I can tell, the answer is no and a 2011 FSM should suffice.

I live in a city along I-40, and I saw what appeared to be a truck load of these heading west on Christmas eve. Did I see something other than what I thought I saw?

Merry Christmas GXOR fam. 🎄🎁 Does anyone have real world experience with MBP tuning. Instagram moddedbyphill. They offer tunes for non-vvti 2uzfe. ECU will need to be shipped or swap out. Coming from the diesel community tunes do make a big difference. Of course diesel and gas are night...

I have a 2003 Prado, 1KZ-TE with a 5-speed manual transmission. The motor is gutless below 1800 RPM which causes problems when trying to start up a steep incline on asphalt in 1st gear without excessive clutch slippage. So the solution is to shift the transfer case into low but that also...

any idea what's going on here? how urgent? how much to fix?

Hello, have spent some time here lurking in the past but figured I would sign up. Old man was a boat builder, learned to weld and work on stuff before I could reach the pedals, ended up getting a degree in motorsport engineering that I don't use. 06 4Runner V8 sport edition. Picked it up...

I was expecting to find a cabin filter slot after removing the glove box. Nada. Did some 100 series not have cabin filters at all? Are they located somewhere else? Thanks

Greetings fellow Land Cruiser addicts! I have recently become a proud owner of BJ73. Not as proud as I would have been with HZJ73, but what can you do… :D Any way I was hoping that you could share your extensive knowledge with me. And yes, I did use search function and found similar questions...

I joined the ranks of the “mini-truck” owners today. 😁

I have a gasket leak under the front water bypass on my 2000 LX470. I have a new front bypass, gaskets and a new water inlet. I plan on removing the throttle body to get access. This new OEM water inlet has a pre-installed black gasket attached to the water inlet surface (photo). I have only...

Ford has Forscan (an inexpensive, PC-based, two-way ECU scanning tool)... is there anything like that available for the 80 series? Side question: does anyone know how to tell if my ECU is running an aftermarket tune?

So, I installed the C97-144VT 3.5" front coils mid 2021 and kept the rear OME863 coils. Been driving that way up to about 2 weeks ago. The front has King remote shocks with adjusters, the rear has Radflo remotes. Radflo's have been on for quite a few years. The King's went on when the Dobinson...

I was really wanting a 97, but kinda digging the 94s. Ive done my research and know most of the big differences. What are your opinions on owning one. Pros/cons, gripes? raves? I wanna hear them all.

Came across this video today. Found it to be very interesting.

Hi crew - 200 series LC owner here and looking to add a Tundra to the garage. My knee-jerk reaction is to stay with what I feel is a known quantity, the 2nd gen. I’m familiar (and love) the 5.7L and comfortable relying on it for several hundred thousand miles. Ideally, I would like to find a...
