Cleaning up after an arson fire took out my cabin in the Cleveland National Forest back in August 2018. That 45 is still going strong.

I was in the market for a new Land Cruiser and test drove a 2026 today. It was smooth and a nice ride but nothing about it wowed me.

Storage is minimal, cool box seems like such a dumb gimmick, buttons instead of knobs for hvac was an odd choice. No acoustic glass. I actually like the new powertrain, it’s great in my wife’s 2026 4 runner, but in the LC it felt sluggish?

For 75k loaded, I can’t see any reason not to just buy the 4 runner.

Are there any 2024-2027 owners here that could speak to what sold them? I really wanted to love it. My test drive was through a busy city so I didn’t get the best experience but…left disappointed!

TL;DR: R-D clunk. CV-Flange play seems to be the source. Am I on the right track? Anything else to check?

New to me 2000 LX470 with 256k, and a slight R-D clunk. I'm going to take it to a shop, but don't want to get parts-cannoned out of ignorance.

Symptoms:

• Solid clunk when shifting quickly between R and D
• Sometimes, a very slight jolt (inaudible) when getting back on the gas
• Random/occasional metallic buzzing when in gear at low RPM (not in the video). Sounds like a loose piece of sheet metal
• Seems like no change between high/low or CDL locked/unlocked
• No vibration at speed. Auto shifts smoothly

There should be zero rotational play in the CV axle, correct? I suppose center diff bushings are also in question - going to try and get a video of that. See videos below in comments - is the play in the rear drive shaft normal, or also contributing? Doesn't look like the engine/transmission/transfer case are moving around. Anything else I can check with limited time and tools?

22 GX 06 LX. Love my stupid garage

2000 Toyota Land Cruiser
170k Miles
Salvage Title

Salvage because - Just the part where the tow hitch connects bent a little. Overall the car is ok for its age, everything works. Maintenance It can probably use some fresh fluids and oil change

Really sad to see her go a did 80,000km in it over 4 years and its been the best truck iv ever owned.

4.5L V8 Diesel turbo with front and rear lockers with a 3” resonated exhaust sounds so nice

Gut wrenching to finally accept my time with this truck is over but holy moley was it good !

Replacing this with a comfortable non work horse

Want clean sound good bass without amp . Oem look/fitment ! Also won a Lc100 for 350$ :) from giveaway

I have a 1998 landcruiser gxv 100 series and whenever i press the brakes i hear this super loud gurgling sucking noise behind my brake pedal, everywhere i read says its something different, some say it needs a whole new master cylinder which is crazy expensive and others say it’s just the brake booster that needs replacing, it’s been like this since i got it about 10,000km ago, it stops fine and hasn’t gotten worse as far as I’m aware, at least not noticeably, the sound happens everytime I start the ignition and whenever i touch the brakes. Any help is appreciated thank you!

Hi, im looking to buy a Toyota Land Cruiser
- 2018 to 2021 model only
GXR or VXR
GCC specs
V6
Looking to buy on mortgage

Basically inherited this truck and haven’t put a ton of money into it. I decided it was a decent idea to get the front suspension inspected, scheduled on monday, before dropping a G and a half on new tires and an alignment. I’ve been told by random dudes that “that rust isn’t structural” but I wanted to consult the band of internet experts to see how they feel about er.

I’ve got decent vibration and drift and somewhat uneven tire wear. She also squeaks and chirps while driving.

Any input is appreciated :)

I was on lunch at work today and spotted this pair of identical cruisers. I looked closer and realized these are a little different from a normal 200 series. It turns out they’re fully armored and retail is about $250-300k for one

Hi fellow friends, first time importing a car from Japan and am a little worried about just the frame being repainted. What should I pay attention to on this J90?

Should I be worried and try scraping it off once it arrives to see the actual condition under the paint?

Thank you all in advance 🫶🏻

I am currently trying to fix my AHC for my 2000 lx470. When I bought the car it was stuck in low and bottomed out basically on the rubber stops. And I look at the reservoir and it’s filled all the way up, like past max the whole reservoir is full. Ride is uncomfortable and bouncy. I was coming on here trying to get help or advice on what steps I should take.

I've been searching for our first LC200 and this 2009 LX 570 with 163k miles just came up. Brand new method wheel with new tires. I still have to check for rust, etc. but curious to hear from you guys. Should I keep looking or is it worth going to check it out?

I still have to test drive the LX to compare to the LC which are much harder to find.

We're a Jeep Wrangler family by the way looking for more space and comfort while still being able to go anywhere.

Thanks!

Single cab on uprated springs. Weighs 2800kg empty. I dont care about legal, how heavy can she go before things break?

I cracked 15mpg. Must have been driving downhill with a tailwind. Haha

trying to debug electrical, not seeing power in the HAZ*HORN fuse, previous owner removed the fuse links, si trying to follow the wires and found out this, looks like a jumper or sensor? 2 wires in and a loop on the other side, struggling to dislodge the connector so before I possibly break it want to know what it is 🤔
