Last summer, I picked up a 2015 Land Cruiser with 240k miles in mint condition. It was so solid and quiet on the highway that my wife wanted one too. I found another 2015 with 140k, also very well maintained.
But here’s the problem — the second LC is noticeably louder on the road. Same tires...
Hello all,
This is my first post on IH8MUD and also my very first Land Cruiser. For some background info, it is a 1999 with 294,000 miles. Relatively low rust but by no means perfect. I’ve owned it for about 2 weeks now and love it, but this is the first major rain it has seen and boy… does it...
I recently replaced the windshield on my 200 Series based on recommendations from this forum, using a 3rd party company Lexus of Austin referred me to (which I won’t name yet). After installation, I noticed the seal at the top was very wavy and made a lot of wind noise above 60 mph...
Was getting the windshield on a 2000 LX470 replaced and they found rust making it unreplaceable until fixed. Was getting quotes from auto body shops around me for about $1000-$1500. Anybody have experience with rust in this area? Could it turn into a bigger job / worse than it looks?
Appreciate...
Hey all,
Need a new windshield for the 1999 TLC and Safelite told me this morning they will not do it because of the “severe rust” that is around the windshield. Hoping to get some advice on next steps before just taking it to someone else, for example should it be going into a body shop first?
Hello.
I'm collecting parts that I might replace when I repaint my LC. The clearcoat has faded to nothing, it's time for a cosmetic refresh.
One of the sections I was considering addressing is the windshield frame, not sure if there's any rust there, but I do get a good amount of wind noise...
Tried this previously without luck. Wife wants this stuff out of her shed. First person to pick it up gets it, $100 for everything. 36870 zip code.
2 hoods
Windshield surround
Pair of full doors with glass intact
Tire carrier
Jump seats
H55 transmission (not sure what it’s out of, came with...
Can anyone recommend a good NYC shop/windshield installer for a 2000 LX470 windshield? Mine now has leaks at both pinch-welds at the top, and it's been creeping down the driver's side. I'll likely replace all the moldings, as well.
Thanks!
Hey all!
I am looking for a set of windshield hinges for a 1974. I believe these are the early style that have the pivot closest to the windshield itself.
I need shipping to Key West, Florida 33040.
Thanks

Cover shipping and it’s yours! This is the original windshield and frame from my ‘89 BJ73. Good amount of rust on the bottom. One crack in bottom left corner of glass, never bothered me driving.
Does anyone have some “newish” hood and/or windshield latches? Trying to keep them as OEM as possible.
Or what’s the best way to clean up the stock ones I have?
These were on my 1989 FJ62 when I bought it about two months ago. I replaced these with the original cargo glass that the PO supplied with the sale. I have pulled both of these (right and left sides included) out, including the seals; the seals will need to be replaced.
I cut the inside...
I wanted to ask how other peoples rain wipers sound, if it's loud or quiet.
This is a new 2023 GX with currently 3,000 miles on it. Finally had a chance to drive it in serious rain in Los Angeles this past weekend. While using my wipers in the rain, I notice a weird "scraping" sound at full...
problem is there's not much left. but considering the "new" style mounts are hideous, i'm willing to ship these to someone (conus only) that wants to rob the "L" bracket portions to rivet on in place of the clamshell mounts that hooks now come with
1993 PZJ75 has a problem with the windshield wiper motor speeds.
Several weeks ago during heavy rain in Lucena the intermittent and slow speed were working, but now only the fast speed works.
I have the FSM for my PZJ and looked thru the electrical wiring schematics which indicates there is a...
