Does anyone know if SAS error codes are tied to achieving High position with AHC? AHC will not go into High. I have cross leveled and made sure pressures are in spec. From what I have read it appears to be so. I am getting error code C1777 Steering Angle Sensor when I run diagnostics under AHC...

Has anyone put a 350 Chev in their cruiser? I have the opportunity to buy a nearly new one for $2000 and could source a manual transmission to suit.

How's it going? I thought I would post up my 1st Gen Sequoia build as I'm starting to see more of these 1st Gens out on the trail here in CO. Prior to picking up this limited 07, I had a 06 100 Series LC which was fully built out. The LC was awesome and got me where I needed to go for the 9...

On my 2F 86 FJ 60, I have this elbow fitting coming out of the passenger side of the block. It looks to be a cold water return from the rear floor heater. (Please correct me if that assumption is wrong) Puzzling thing is it has a Tee in it with a short 5/16 heater hose that is not connected. PO...

I think I have some catching up here to do regarding these motors. Until last July I have been away from FJ40'S for 30 years. I've owned a total of 3 the first one I bought new in 1978. After having spent time on this site I can see that full restorations are the thing now for a lot of you...

Hi Folks We are tourists from Europa and travel the PanAm. Currently we are in Havasu City, Arizona. Since quite some time we have a Desth Wobble problem. Several mechanics /shops tried already to fix it without success. Latest just yesterday, changed a bearing of the tie rod and adjusted the...

Currently have my intake and exhaust manifolds out to replace gaskets and hopefully improve a low vacuum condition on my 86 FJ60. Having trouble to find a machining shop that knows how to handle the assembly to clean it up and get the full surface flat. Mixed material between the exhaust and...

Hi All, Wondering if anyone in the community local to the SF Bay Area has an OEM snorkel setup either loose or installed I could look at? I prefer the shape of the Toyota design more than the current aftermarket offerings, but a complete OEM setup is basically unavailable these days. I have a...

I've decided to get a 100-series in addition to the '22 GX in CO and have owned my share of LC's and 4Runners etc. Pricewise, hoping you guys can help me get a feel for what I'm looking at. It's a 2003 with 120K miles and has had timing belt and water pump done. Appears to be in exceptional...

Good day guys.... Looking for some advice please.....How can i best do away with my EGR system. I have cleaned the system and tested all the vacuum lines and solenoids and everything seems to be okay...as soon as i press the accelerator a bit hard the damn glow light comes on and when i checked...

Picked up the BJ40 Saturday. Engine runs great, tranny shifts fine, hubs lock and unlock smoothly, transfer case shifts well, It has brakes modified to discs all 4. Power steering added as well. Issues are brakes need some service as they pull mightily to the right. The steering is a bit...

I am out of town so have to go off pics can someone identify if this is a 3 or 4 speed transfer case thanks

I’ve been using the larger capacity M1-209 in my 2UZ’s for years. I changed the oil in my Tundra yesterday and used one. Same diameter as stock just longer. Right after that I learned of the M1-301. My LC was also due for an oil change so I gave it a try. It’s even taller than the 209 and...

Starting this thread to document 12 month (and counting) build on my 2008 200, including the many and varied dramas along the way😄

I am looking at purchasing a set of 16"wheels from City Racer (see link) to mount a set of 255/85/16's on - specifically BFG KO2's. My concern is the width of these wheels, even tho this is one of there recomended tire sizes. I like the idea of having OEM hub caps on my wheels which is the...

Hey there, long time lurker and new 100 owner. So the thread title... I grew up spending a lot time between a small family farm in Louisiana and a boat dealership, so being in mud working on things was my life. My first truck was in high school and was a 1984 S-10 blazer which I buried al over...

So I haven't been messing with the truck and have just been driving it for the past couple weeks. It's a 1986 4runner with the early 2lt. Subaru TD04L, 2.5" straight pipe. Turbo spools fine, just cruising it sits at 1.5psi. If I get into it, it'll push 15 no problem. It's just so slow though...

Hi all--Chasing a P0125 on my 1996 LX 450. It was intermittent, then the other week it became permanent and the truck started to run very rich (by smell), rough, missing, etc. Checked upstream O2, found signal wire hanging by a corroded thread, replaced the harness side connector. Started it...

We very sadly had an accident with our 2000 Land Cruiser & it is totaled. We are crushed. We were attached to that vehicle AND we were using it for certain parts of our business where we could fit everything we needed, for an event, behind the folded forward second-row seats. We had some...

I'm not happy with the bulk and aesthetics of the pouting lower lip no-hoop ARB bumper on the front, so I'm considering options for a replacement. A few parameters and requests for input from anyone who's done this: If you've replaced and ARB bumper w/ another brand, which model did you use...
