Thank you for checking out my channel! I created this channel to document the restoration, and transition of my 20 year-Old 100 Series Land Cruiser from bone stock to a fully equipped Overlander.
I hope that by sharing my projects and love for Land Cruisers you will have the resources to do the same if you choose!

The Land Cruiser’s Biggest Weakness
In this video I troubleshoot and fix a common failure point on high mileage 100 series Toyota Land Cruisers: the Hydraulic Brake Booster.
The exact same issue (and Brake Booster Assembly) is found on early 2000s Tacomas and 4Runners.
Difficultly: 2/5
Cost: $100-$1300, depending on whether you refurbish or replace
Time: 4 hours
Part numbers:
OEM Brake Booster: 47050-60043 ($1300)
OEM Motor & Accumulator: 47070-60010 ($750)
Motor (aftermarket only): 47960-60010 ($100)
OEM Gasket: 44785-60010
Another option for the motor I’ve heard of is to contact Andy Le of the UJZ100 Facebook group. Apparently he’ll send you a refurbished motor for around $500 after rebate (sending him your broken motor)
Link to the Factory Service Manuel: forum.ih8mud.com/threads/improved-fsm-downloads.1204389/
Tools:
- gloves, rags, protection from corrosive break fluid
- 12mm deep well socket
- socket extensions.
- universal joint
- Dot 3 break fluid (2 quarts)
- 10 flange wrench

Fantastic videos! Thank you for making these. I’m in the process of refurbing an 05 LX and your videos are very helpful!
Where did you get your Land Cruiser side steps from??
I got them on eBay. I like the way they look, but they are definitely not made for any off-roading purposes. I think I’ll end up real them with real rock sliders. www.ebay.com/itm/256567949926?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&mkscid=101&itemid=256567949926&targetid=2512152189032&device=m&mktype=pla&googleloc=9007325&poi=&campaignid=21214286338&mkgroupid=161030074701&rlsatarget=pla-2512152189032&abcId=9407521&merchantid=6296724&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAAD_QDh_idhyR9muobxkIuDreWUOFc
I am rebuilding my front end with the same lift. You saved me hours of trial and error along with many other videos you have up here. Cheers👍🏽
why are you driving round in circles? 😂
It’s a nice loop! 😂 Have been waiting for someone to notice.
Thanks, please for a 2005 Land Cruiser can I replace the rear dual without going to a mechanic
My 2001 needs the same, although all matte black and I'm going to replace the transmission shift knob and shifter plate, also. Thank you for the excellent video! Looks great....
If you find them, please drop the part numbers for the shifter knob and plate! Thanks!
Did you do this for the back end links?
Front and back, yeah
Nice video. I have a 2004 with only 72k miles and my break light just came on. I’m trying to locate the issue. Question: what is the normal duration of the booster during pump activation? Mine runs for about 5 seconds (audible) with each pump of the break. Thanks in advance.
Turn the car off and press the brake 40 times to let all the pressure out of the system. Turn the key to the “on” position (without the engine running so you can hear). It should run between 30-40 seconds
But if you have a brake light only an no buzzer, it’s probably not an issue with brake pressure. Also, your LC is super rare with such low miles! Unicorns like that sell at a big premium!
@@JungleCatt Thanks for your prompt reply. I have first-hand experience with the loud "siren" that goes off in the cabin when the booster fails! I drove a 2000 LC for 300k miles and had to replace the booster ($$) at around 200k miles. This time just the brake light is on. Fingers crossed! PS. I'm the second owner at 65K miles, no rust (and I had to pay a premium!)
@@JungleCatt Thanks, Jungle Catt. I originally tried the brake pumping technique to drop the pressure, but almost immediately encountered a "hard stop" on the peddle (4 or 5 pumps) and concluded I was no longer moving fluid. I will re-attempt the 40 - press and see if I encounter a difference. Thanks again!
@@rtrco8200 As another idea, check your abs / wheel speed sensors. When those are broken (unplugged) the abs light comes on with no buzzer.
Brake. "Break" goes with broken.
Nice video, How much does the flush cost in Toyota?
Thank you very much I always consider the starter (the location) as the weakness, since you can’t even tap it / test it without major digging. But Yeah, it’s probably pretty sketchy having your breaks go out.
Ugh, I’m going to have to get to the starter one of these days. But yea there’s some polling about this on Ih8mud. Unfortunately it seems looks a pretty common wear item for high mileage LCs
@@JungleCatt granted mine had tons of miles, so can’t complain in that respect, but when it went out, it gave me no prior warnings. It just didn’t start. Knowing that now, I would just have swapped it at high miles while it was in a convenient place, versus getting stranded. Heed the warning…
Very interesting! Happy to know how it works. Thanks!
Helpful! Thanks.
Phenomenal, great video! Thanks
Great job and very thorough, straightforward, I may tackle the job.
Jigshore would have looked much nicer
What is the torque specs of inner tie rods, thank you
Im not sure about this. You would need a special tool to torque it… I tried to match what it felt like coming off before folding the locking washer. I would think it’s something moderate and not super tight torque specs. If anyone else knows, please add in the comments!
Excellent video! I've got a 1999 LC with these torsion bars. I forgot to measure my original ride height and got some Dobinsons IMS Extended shocks. Do you know what the measurement should be from wheel to fender if I want to lift the car by 2.5 inches? I've got some OME upper control arms too, and am looking for alignment specs. Any recommendation on caster for mainly on road driving? Thanks in advance!
Great series. I have a 2004 with 234K and same issue. Ride quality is shot. Side note on parts. Looking at a toyota dealership website for parts. OEM Transmission Mount: 12371-50081 is showing not applicable for my VIN. Instead, Trans Mount - Toyota (12371-50180) 2003-2007 Toyota Land Cruiser - 1237150180 is showing as the appropriate part.
Thank you for sharing, looks great. I'm going to follow your lead on my 2004 LC.
Bro you got this figured out. The video, the build. All amazing
Do you live on the Main Line? Very much looks like you're driving around Lower Merion at the start of each of one of your videos!
Fantastic series, and a service to the community.

@@JungleCatt Cool. Thanks.
Thank you very much sir, you are a star 👍💯👋
Thanks for making this video. Would this be easier if it were done at the same time as replacing the brakes, rotors and calipers? Seems like there would be less items in the way. Thanks.
@FLcoachtony. The work you would save by doing those things as well would be the time to takes to lift the car, take the wheel off (needed for calipers) and take then drive flanges off (first step for rotors). That’s probably only a few minutes so don’t feel like you need to to it all at once, but you certainly can. You can reference my wheel bearings video to get a sense of what else is required to replace the rotors. You’ll want to repack and torque the wheel bearings (55mm socket) and maybe replace them while you’re in there. czcams.com/video/XNKLaaUNZHI/video.htmlsi=pFIyV3g2vAfXeyXh
Something i need to do is slowly replace all the vacuum lines just as preventative thing
And the heater Ts!
@@JungleCatt i took care of that with metal ones!
I read stories about getting the lca budding that’s in the frame looks like you were able to do it without getting all fancy with tools
It’s not that bad. Chisel, 2lb hammer, bushing push pull kit
Good job mate
What are you going to do with the old spoiler? I'm looking for one. Mine broke off.
I tossed it. I broke the mounting hardware when removing it.
I just installed the GAO rear wind deflector this week on my 99LC. It really matches the OEM in look and feel. I also installed their door window trim as mine had begun to crack and show the metal beneath, set of 4 was $120. Thanks for sharing.
It came up in my CZcams recommendations, then I lost it. I searched again and again for an hour to find this one again. I'm glad I did. It explains perfectly why my UZJ100 has a bit of a thump to it. I was going to do all the bushings of the suspension and the one from the thumbnail (cause I could see that one was gone) but would have missed those other bushings because I was not knowing that there are Diff bushings as well. Thank you so much! If there are other bushings you think I should check/replace as well please let me know. All the bushings on my LC100 are pretty much gone but just finding them all and figuring out part numbers is the trouble.
Glad it helped! I replaced almost every bushing under my car. Vídeos are all in this playlist: Restore Handling and Ride Quality 100 Series Land Cruiser - Everything You Need to Know czcams.com/play/PLDmcZQkWExY8DLzDY5bQhNrbXx3WXp3_S.html
This is great. Thanks for going through all this detail. I just got done filming a quick video of my reindexing, mind if I link folks to your video to learn even more?
For sure! Thanks for the support.
Any issues with rubbing with those 285/70/18s ? Been wanting to downsize from 35s on my LC100 to keep a simple wheel / tire setup without having to use spacers.
None at all. The 33inch BFG ATs are a great size for this car. They are 285/70/18s. I’ve been thinking about going up to the BFG ATs in 35. My understanding is that they require 1.25 inch spacers and a taking a hammer to the pinch weld on the front. Is that it or did you need bump stops too?
@@JungleCatt I'm actually running the SCS F5's in a 315/70/16 ! Not sure the size spacer that is needed for the stock 18's but for clearance on 35s the pinch welds need to be flattened and fender liner trimming / removing the cover for the washer reservoir was done.
Thx for the info bud.
Looks great just went to there site see what cost is to ship Australia 🇦🇺 thanks for sharing.
wow that looks amazing! they're sold out for my '02
I’m sure they’ll be back soon. Hot item!
very informative thanks!
You have done such a fine job restoring/upgrading your LC100
Thank you! Appreciate that!
The clunk is so annoying. I’ve greased the drive shafts, replaced the front cv axels, hub flanges, and the front differential as per my mechanics advice. While it’s improved a bit, I still have the clunk. Had another mechanic look at it and he’s advised me to have the transmission rebuilt 😪
Ah man, that’s brutal. The all time 4 wheel drive definitely comes at a bit of a maintenance cost on these cars. When do you get the clunk? Accelerating after coasting or another one? Definitely report back if you have any progress. I’d love to know what it is if not the typical suspects.
@@JungleCatt it still has the clunk accelerating after coasting and when shifting from D to R. The clunk is much less pronounced than before my other repairs but still very noticeable.
Any chance you are doing the starter soon =)
Not planning to at the moment but I’ll keep it in mind. A good place to search for help is the ih8mud.com 100 series forum.
I did this and my clunk was quiet for a while, but ultimately it returned. I have done almost all the repairs you have done over time and still have the clunk.
Have you looked to see if your drive shaft u joints have play in them? The driveshaft splines themselves might be worn out but I doubt that’s it. It’s usually something worn or loose on the front drivetrain between the transfer case and the drive flanges.
Yeah I had big time clunk when braking and accelerating from stops and was due to failing rear u joint. Got it replaced and is way better. Still need to address other clunks :/
Definitely doing this next. Thanks.
Very tidy. Some good ideas there.
I've owned my 100 for many years now, And Your videos are much appreciated
Always great content from your channel. Very informative and great quality. Thanks for explaining the risk of over greasing the drive shafts.
Thank you!
Nice video! I had a very different experience with the front bushing. It took forever to come out. The bushing that was in there had the alignment with the gap front to back, so that's how I put the new one in.
Did you have a 2.5 lb hammer and a chisel? I found that combo to work really well.
shoutout SC! daniel island born and raised
Good work, i appreciate you making this video for us. I really wish you would have included footage of repacking that hub and the final torque down towards the end but i must have been hard to do all that alone. Im just more of a visual learner type but ... Regardless, im still grateful. Subscribed for more.
Of course! Thanks for the feedback! Will keep that in mind in future videos.
