Not sure how it’s possible for all sensors to go out at the same time - truck not running. I’m thinking this might be a timing chain or starter issue? Anyone have experience with this issue? How did you resolve the problem? Any recommendations greatly appreciated.
Help 2008 Land Cruiser Crankshaft and Camshaft sensors all went out at the same time?

maybe a critter is chewing on your wiring
what happened up to that time? Just come out in the morning and the CEL was on, or did something unusual happen before shutdown?
How's your battery voltage?

Does not crank.
I will post a video with the sound if I can figure out how to do it. Sorry long time follower, first time posting.

I’d start with a different battery

I had been driving with P2714 codes for months without issues. Then one day when I started her up she didn’t sound the same, like dragging a steel plate over another steel plate. She started four time like this before dying.

Update: After more research and more discussions with different people in the industry, I decided to start with the starter - Sequoia/Tundra videos on YouTube came in clutch for the 5.7L. I took the starter to Advanced Auto for testing and despite some grinding noice it did pass - barely according to sales tech. New starter is on order - Toyota Memorial Day sale saved me a pretty penny. I also tested the battery and the voltmeter showed 11.9V - getting it load tested soon. Any thoughts or comments on my approach are appreciated. See link for sound LC was making -->
Well, don’t go throwing a starter at it until you have a known good battery, connections are tight, and your power to the starter is good.
Those sensors did not all fail at the same time. You either have an electrical issue, or the engine has jumped time.
Pull the engine cover and check for rodent damage to the wiring engine wiring harness. Check the whole length of the harness from the sensors to the ECM.
Get under the truck and take a 22mm socket and 1/2” ratchet and turn the engine over 2 revolutions via the crank pulley bolt. Does it turn?

Final update: LC is back! New OEM starter in (new starter was smaller than original which was strange but made putting it in more easy). Battery was tested and charged up. All electrical wires checked and terminals cleaned. Next project is to change valve cover gaskets, spark plugs, tube seals and some brittle hoses. 
Thank you all for the tips and comments. This was my first time posting and I learned a lot. Until next time.

I didn’t have a chance to hear your video before my post. Sounds like the starter is freewheeling and the pinion isn’t engaging with the flex plate.

276K - I don't think its ever been changed. Old starter is red label. New starter is blue label.
