Help! tldr: Alternator kaput, 100A Alt Fuse gone pop, how do you remove the alt fuse? So my KZJ95 has been uber reliable until today - came to the truck after work and inserted key to be met with a groaning, slowly rotating and then nothing attempt at starting the engine. Lights dimming and...

Long time no post! Got into my uber reliable and trusty truck this morning and the exploration gauges mounted on top of the dash (standard fit Colorado VX equipment) didn't come on - no backlights, no indicators (temperature, orienation, tilt/roll) - I quickly checked the fuses, but didn't see...

Right, I know Toyota will always try and promote the use of their own proprietary coolant mix - yes it's got corrosion inhibitors etc (what coolant mix these days doesn't?) but I want to know if there are any aftermarket coolants that people have had problems with, that way I know what to avoid...

So I'm looking at Toyota prices for a radiator and trying not to have a heart attack - for the kind of prices they list I could get one custom made.... Has anyone used the Roughtrax or Milners aftermarket radiators? Are there any alternative upgraded radiators that people would recommend? I...

Ok, I've done everything and started re-assembling, but I forgot to take a pic and not which pipe goes where. There's two input pipes from the front of the vehicle, I know where one of them goes, the other is on the same side as the output (goes to the centre flexi hose and onto the axle) and...

Took the truck for it's MOT today - big fat fail when one of the brake pipes burst! Couple of others where in need of replacement as well (basically all three that are connected to the bias valve and one front one that runs to the flexi hose), so I started on that job today. Of course, the one...

Went and bought one, had a chat with the guy at Knights communications (it's a little over 10 miles up the road from me!) Whilst there, I also picked up a bracket suitable to mount an aerial on the car, and picked up a Sirio ML145 (1/8 wavelength) and some coax for it. This weekend I picked a...

So everybody in LandCruiser land, I have another technical one that I'm hoping someone more knowledgeable than myself can shed light on... Generally the transmission has been fine, I've got it on my list of jobs to replace the trans fluid (tonights job when I get home) and I know the diff oils...

What's that all about then? I've seen a thread somewhere, where a small CB system and speaker was mounted behind it (great idea!) but did Toyota really put it there purely for decoration, or was it always intended to mount a speaker extension behind it? Was the LC90 ever offered with a...

So, I'm looking at all the information, and it seems the BFG AT/KO's are the tyre of choice, but what I want to know is about how they perform on-road and in the wet/snow/ice. I ask because I have some proper gravel tyres for my rally car and gave them a go in last years snow - they where...

Ok, talk to me - after looking at todays updated thread in the overland trips, I showed the missus and she went "oooh, that looks like fun" and now I might have to do some overland mods. Seems to me that a roofrack comes in handy. My car's a VX trim model, so it has the fore-aft roof bars. Is...

Ok, this is a quick writeup for anyone else that may have experienced the same problems as I, but need somewhere to look for guidance (sorry for the lack of pics, I was cracking on, had little light and greasy hands and didn't want to ruin my phone!) The Problem: You put the key in the...

so I've been running my 90 for a little over a week now, and aside from the lazy starting, it's been pretty good. This morning, parked up at work (-3 degrees!) and went in for the day. This evening, I went out to the truck and pressed the blipper - nothing happened (LED lit up on blipper...

Hello chaps, been going through basic diagnosis and I've come to the conclusion that something's not right with my KZJ95 - it does start if I crank it for a while (10-20 seconds or so) but I would expect it to start a lot sooner than that.I'm quite competent when it comes to electrickery, so I'm...

So I've got myself a Landcruiser 90, it's primary use is to tow the rally car to/from trackdays and rallies, and with that in mind I want to kit it out with some not-too-intrusive extras. As I normally go in convoy, probably put a CB in there, but also thinking (after reading some posts on...

Has anyone tried the petrol (3.4V6) versions of these? Are they any good? Anything to watch out for? Cheers!

Hi! Been trying to pick a suitable 4x4 for a bit of light off-roading and for towing - would love to afford a 4.2TD Amazon, but I'm looking at some Colorados Interesting site, lots of useful information (especially handy when I'm looking at cars) and hope to be a regular contributor in the...
