95 Land Cruiser - I turn the key and the engine won’t turn. All I hear is a click. I recently cleaned the battery post and the car started great for a couple of weeks. Now it is happening again.

You may just need to replace the cables and/or terminals altogether. Also trace out and clean all of the ground points from the battery & the connections at the starter.
