Hello everyone,


My name is Pedro and I’m a new member from Miami, Florida. I recently became the proud owner of a 1997 Toyota Land Cruiser 40th Anniversary Edition, and I’m excited to finally join the IH8MUD community.


I’ve always appreciated vehicles that are built to last, and after spending time learning about the 80 Series, I can see why these trucks have such a loyal following. Mine is largely stock, and my goal is to preserve it while gradually restoring and improving it both mechanically and cosmetically.


Right now I’m working through a few maintenance items:

• Replacing the power steering high-pressure hose due to a leak. I ordered one from Vintage TEQ Parts, but unfortunately I haven’t been able to get a response from them regarding my order, so I’m currently trying to figure out my next move.
• Rear main seal leak that I’ll be addressing soon.
• EGR valve service/repair.

Once those items are sorted, I’d like to continue bringing the truck up to the standard it deserves. I have plans for additional maintenance, preventative repairs, and some tasteful cosmetic improvements while keeping the classic 40th Anniversary character intact.


I’m looking forward to learning from the wealth of knowledge on this forum and hopefully contributing where I can. I’ll post pictures of the truck soon.


Thanks for having me!
Pedro

One thing I could use some advice on: my power steering high-pressure hose is leaking. I ordered a replacement from Vintage TEQ Parts, but I haven’t received any response regarding my order. If anyone has a trusted source for a quality hose that can ship quickly, I’d be grateful for the recommendation. I’d like to get this leak taken care of sooner rather than later.

Hopefully you paid by credit card or PayPal.

Check the "Bad Sellers" forum in the classifieds section under the forum menu.

Don't snooze on getting payment reversed if you hear nothing back

Welcome....
In a pickle, spend the extra $ and get it from the dealership. They always have 15-25% promos once in awhile.
And read up on the "Bad Seller" forum under the classified tab like mudgudgeon said.

@cruisermatt is in Florida and he has lots of OEM parts on his site, or get comfortable with your local dealer and buy from them.
