10 owner reports for this model.
1988 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ62, about 243,000 miles. Every few days the car hesitates for a split second leaving a stop, then drives normally.
The car is smooth around town, but there is a noticeable steering-wheel vibration in a narrow highway speed range. It gets better again above that speed. Tires look normal at a glance. What would you…
Twice this month I turned the key/button and got lights but no crank. After trying again a few minutes later it started normally. Battery connections look clean. Starter relay, brake switch, starter…
2004 Toyota Land Cruiser, about 200,500 miles. A new recall announcement can hit the news before owners see anything in their VIN lookup. What is the best way to separate confirmed affected populatio…
Price cuts and incentives are good for new buyers but can hit recent owners resale hard. How much do you consider potential manufacturer price moves when buying a newer EV or luxury car?
2004 Toyota Land Cruiser, about 132,000 miles. The car has crossed 100k and still drives well. I want to stay ahead of age-related failures instead of waiting for roadside problems. What systems star…
On certain rough highway sections the steering can start oscillating after a bump. Slowing down stops it. I'm looking for a diagnostic checklist rather than just installing a stronger stabilizer.
1988 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ62, about 251,500 miles. News says my model year is involved, but the VIN lookup shows no open recall. Is that usually because only certain build ranges are affected, or ca…
2004 Toyota Land Cruiser, about 210,500 miles. Idle has a slight shake once fully warm, but 100–200 RPM above idle it smooths out. No major loss of power. Would you look at mounts, vacuum leaks, igni…
1988 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ62, about 14,500 miles. A/C gets properly cold on the highway but becomes noticeably warmer at long lights. It cools down again almost immediately once the car is moving. C…
Alignment printout is within spec, but the car still wants to drift right on a flat road. Tire pressures match. Would you cross-rotate tires to check radial pull, or look harder at caster/camber side…
2004 Toyota Land Cruiser, about 209,000 miles. Twice I have had full lights and accessories but no crank. After waiting a few minutes it starts normally. Battery terminals look clean. What would you…
Mock-up clears the steering and firewall, but getting the transmission output lined up perfectly would require moving the engine. How much should packaging be compromised to improve driveline geometr…
I was focused on tow rating until I added passengers, cargo and tongue weight. Payload looks like the real constraint. How much buffer do you leave in a family towing setup?
The car stays dry in normal rain but after a long storm one front footwell gets damp. Door seal looks okay. What drain/seam tests would you do before tearing the interior apart? I would rather test t…
2004 Toyota Land Cruiser, about 227,000 miles. I am financing most of the purchase and depreciation could be steep early on. How do you decide whether GAP is worthwhile versus a larger down payment o…
Inventory looks better but dealer quotes still vary a lot. I'm not looking to name-and-shame anyone—just trying to get a sense of whether people are seeing real discounts locally before I drive two h…
Picked up a classic that was converted from 6V to 12V by several previous owners. It works, but the harness has splices everywhere. Would you repair sections or start over with a modern fuse panel an…
Truck is within published ratings, but with a tall enclosed trailer it gets pushed around in wind more than I expected. Before changing trucks, what would you verify: tongue weight, tire pressure, hi…
A windshield was replaced and now there is a whistle around highway speed that did not exist before. Glass looks seated. Any simple way to locate the air leak before taking it back? I would rather te…
