Hello everybody, This is Dusty and my BJ42. This is a great site, l-o-t-s of tech info here. I'm a long time Land Cruiser guy but I'm not loud, I prefer to listen and read. The truck, 1981 BJ42, is about 75% rebuilt, almost all OEM, and all vin # match. I've owned this truck for 27 years. I'm...

Getting ready to put the data plates back on. I wasn't sure how best to clean them. I didn't want to remove the graphics but did want to get the stains off and make it readable. I didn't see a thread on here with any suggestions. Here is what worked for me. Clean with a degreaser (Purple Power...

Can anyone help me and tell me more about this car ! I bought 2 months ago a red HJ45 with the Vin code HJ45-005291 This car is imported in to the Netherlands in 2009 but i don,t know from which country. And the first registration is 19-05-1976.

Hi, I'm wondering about such a thing... Is there any chance to get to know where my 30yo LC80 was delivered and sold for the first time as a brand new vehicle? Is there any kind of archive maintained by Toyota where such information could be obtained? There must have been a register with...

Long shot here for some good karma! I am a PO of the vehicle and found about 10 years' worth of maintenance documents from Colorado that were misplaced prior to my selling. I don't have record of the gentleman I sold it to in 2017. It should be roaming around Charlotte, North Carolina If you...

Anyone have a carfax credit they're not going to use? Looking at an old 4runner. I can message you the VIN. Just thought I"d check first. Thanks.

Hello all, I have a 1977 FJ45 and I'm trying to determine the production month. It was originally from El Salvador and I'm in California and need to get it smogged :( Does anyone know of a site that has the codes to decipher a VIN and / or the frame number? Thank you, Mike

I didn't find anything here with the search function -- is there a resource for decoding the VIN on an FJ80?

I have what I think is either a 1998 or 1999 Land Cruiser 105 series. I'm not sure of the year due to the vehicle having a unique VIN that doesn't follow the script. VIN: JT711PJA507013792 There shouldn't be a zero in the 10th place! I can't figure it out. Can anyone help? What year is this...

Hey folks, With @ToyotaMatt no longer offering VIN plates, wanted to see if anyone could send along the measurement of their VIN plate for the fender or firewall on a 1977 FJ40? When I bought mine, the fender had been replaced with an aftermarket part and the VIN plate must have retired with...

About 4 years ago, I bought my 1973 FJ40 from someone who I knew was at least the 3rd owner. He doesn't have the contact of who he bought it from. I posted in the 40 series section because I believe this problem is much more relevant with pre-1980s vehicles, since this was before the 17-digit...

New to the forum. Currently stationed in Germany and looking to bring a Hilux with the 2.4D back stateside once I PCS (truck is a doublecab — is it going to be completely underpowered?). I have found a truck I would like to potentially bring back but it is an ex-military truck (was in service...

I am replacing my suspension, and whether my '85 FJ60 was made for the North American market or not determines whether I need A/B springs, or two A's (3" lift) or two B's (2" lift.) If I get it wrong, the Land Cruiser will lean. Models from outside North America have a higher lift on the A...

I recently bought a car and just found out the odometer has been rollbacked. The timing belt was replaced at 90k at dealership. The service record shows detail information until 2015 and the mileage was about 125k. I will talk to the seller about this. Here is my question. 1. If I decide to...

Hi folks, I've researched the Mud forum, SOR VIN charts, and other threads -- I found similar questions, but no clear connection. The background: I have a 1977 with a VIN door plate and frame number that match - both look to be a July 1977 build -VIN FJ40 253568. The mystery: However, my...

This VIN decoder is good for 2019 vehicles and back. This should allow you to see where your LC was manufactured (LX's will be at Yoshiwara). I've attached as a .pdf as well as a .png formats. Thanks. -onur

Time to let go, move on. I've been curious, due to a basically unknown history - is there any source of information to determine whether or not my Cruiser's engine is original ? Old Mopars are easy - the VIN is dupliated into the engine's serial number, hence their insane values if they are...

Can anyone assist with decoding this VIN? The first challenge is that it is only 12 characters. I would like to know the Production/Year of Manufacture, 1HD-T or 1HD-FT motor, the market is was manufactured, and any other information.

So I have a 1973 FJ40, and I want to decode my vin. I have tried every website out there, and they all say my vin has "not enough characters" or it's "invalid". My vin is 10 characters, and is like FJ40XXXXXX. (Six numbers after "FJ40".) Where can I decode this vin, or get some information on...

I'm trying to figure out the date my FJ55 was built. Obviously it's a '77 but what month. FJ55077471 All the internet decoders say I don't have enough numbers but it's all I have on the title.
