Went to put the new radiator in the 92 because I had determined it was leaking. Never in a million years would the original, 25 year old spring clamps fail to hold a tight seal at the inlet at the top of the radiator! Wrong. I had the 3 of the 4 nuts off the fan and leaned against the inlet hose and heard gurgling. I looked and saw bubbles coming out by the tank at the end of the hose. "NO FAWKING WAY!" I squeezed the hose. Saw more bubbles. Pulled the hose and replaced with a cheapo hose clamp, topped off with fluid, rinses off the coolant I spilled and took her for a drive. Stopping periodically to check for leaks. Nothing. $400. Now I have a spare radiator...

Lol! Was literally about to do the same thing. The capsules have gotten hard to find.
I like this. i have as set in the garage I keep putting off installing.
Rails? Where did you find them on Phil's site?Installed my rock rails that I purchased from LandCruiserPhil. They are exactly what I wanted as far as protection and cost. I couldn't be happier.

LOL Another LCP secret menu item
After 3 years one would think I could get them listed on our web site
Contact me if interested
Testing continues
Check your belt moldings around you rear sliders, mine were leaking on both sides, sealed the clips with some fipg until I get my income tax refund and send it to @beno!
I think he's got you taken care of in the above post but I just remembered them from previous and have been thinking about them for a while.
That is some hospitality there! I was just thinking about that today. I have a little space and plenty of carpentry work for anyone that would like to get away for a bit(or forever) in Kentucky; beautiful country for a 1/100th of the cost! Much love to all those folks in Oroville!
Actually, I wouuld like to find someone with a very strong background in carpentry to take over my superintendent position so that I can semi-retire and spend the rest of my life doing what I love... playing around with Land Cruisers (and other old toyotas; mini's, four runners, supras)...I love them all!

Funny story: I just booked flights for my daughter and her friend to go to DC for Spring Break to visit another friend. Flying out of Chicago (about 190 miles each way). My wife said "Is it really saving any money? That's what, $100 in gas each trip to take them and pick them up!" My response, "You are doing Land Cruiser math. The Camry will be about $60 total." Then she started to do the math on the 92 since I bought it new...

Don't knock it til you try it! I'm from Houston( too many people), Spent my 20's in Southern Cali, Moved to Louisville in 95. Haven't regretted it. Beautiful lakes, rivers, mountains and trails. Good bourbon, good people and totally affordable. My mortgage, water, electric and cable comes to $1200 a month. Plenty left over for the cruiser!If it didn't involve living in Kentucky...

I have been on the lookout for an inexpensive spare motor for my LX that I could rebuild at my leisure before eventually needing to swap it in.
Today I found it on CL...for only $700... attached to a '97 LX with lockers
. It is an east coast truck so has some surface rust underneath, but it is completely stock, 242K, all the bits and pieces of interior trim are there, and it even comes with the original head unit, Lexus car phone, and Lexus first aid kit.
The guy said the engine had a knock and was asking $1K. His mechanic had gotten as far as removing the valve cover and the throttle body and called it quits. I saw the "project status", offered him $700, and he bit. Called AAA for a tow to my work and now I have a spare "one of everything"
. I am psyched!
Here she is !
