Another option for those hunting authentic AISIN kits, our options are guaranteed authentic, includes more parts and it's packed and shipped by a Land Cruiser enthusiast here at our Murray shop! 1998-2005...

Sadly there are plenty of fakes on the market. As we have a great deal of AISIN components on our website (CruiserOutfitters.com and CruiserTeq.com) we get hit up by China based companies offering lower prices on 'authentic AISIN' parts super...

Almost anyone can sell on Amazon. It has all the quality control of eBay. If it is a critical part, you MUST buy from a reputable supplier. IMO that is not the two sources mentioned in the previous line.

yall need to look at posting dates when replying.....

It actually happens more often than people think. I've heard of many, that have falling out. Are they all because of forgetting to torque in, perhaps! But if so, then why did Toyota change recommendation in the 200 series. The 200 series caliper...

I think FSM calls for new bolts every time. Ever since the last time this ruined my day, I now carry two spares with me

Hole likely clogged, and just looks "omitted". First time I saw this. I thought someone solder hole shut. This happens mostly in rear bleeders, and only when bleeder rubber cap missing.

I always flush and bleed old school. I do use Tech Stream (TS) (Intelligent Tester, is just box used to access tech stream) to bleed with, mostly just when replacing master. I've yet to get more air with TS method, if I've old school bled...

I know a lot of folks have complete trust in their brakes, and whoever is doing the shifting, but if possible please find a safer way of looking at the diff other than laying under a running vehicle while someone puts it in gear. You can prop a...

Lay under your front and have someone else shift from P to D to R and watch your front diff. If it's moving up/ down when shifting your diff bushings are bad. In addition your front drive shafts flanges might be worn out. Lots of threads on those...

Yesterday I went to the trail and the drive up was about 70km. Tires were aired up to 38psi and when I got there I aired down to 28psi. On the way home I had to drive back about 40km @ 28psi and I noticed that the tire temps were getting hot (I...

Here's the math, @HRTROB I used the Toyo Tires load tables posted above. Looking up my tire sizes, I'm seeing that 32psi (factory spec for rear tires) on stock size tire 275/60R18 (for my LX470) carries the equivalent load at 50psi on an...

I think you guys may be under-inflated at 32 psi on tarmac. The 32 psi recommendation on the door jamb sticker is for the stock P-metric tire. LT-metric tires require higher cold tire inflation pressures...

Good question but you have to try much harder than that to break something. I drove 20+ miles down a highway once with the CDL engaged before I turned and felt some binding. That was 5 years ago. No issues.

I studied options, and ultimately went OEM. I don't like how it's got plastic and other stuff compared to traditional all metal designs but Toyota engineering likely had a purpose and the plastic used on the LC is no joke, it's solid. My old one...

Rust and crud build on wheel hub face and back of wheel. They need cleaning off (de-glazing) so surface matt flush. Also surface need to be flat. This wheel seem torque on. But as lip/raise from beating on wheel hub, ate into wheel. Since...

Will touch back once I find my solution , Thankyou to the MUD Dads for the wisdom! @2001LC @Bisho

Quality control. A spinning mass needs to be well balanced.

If 50 MPH vibration wasn't there, before FDS (AKA Front drive shaft, AKA CV) service. Then it is service related. But often after a service, people are paying more attention. I'd first consider tire balance. Which one must also consider the back...

I'm in process of rebooting my CV shaft and noticed a decent amount brass shavings from the brass knuckle bushing. Is this caused by incorrect CV snap ring gap allowing the CV to move in and out prematurely wear the bushing?

I think your block tolerances are a little tight for most manufacturers :)

That's fair. I would add though that 1) lubricants aren't used at the factory; 2) there have been known instances of non-factory hoses popping off; 3) the cooling system is the most critical failure point of this vehicle; 4) I and many others...

I'm pretty sure a split radiator is what killed the 2UZ in the LX470 that I'm in the process of replacing the engine in - so definitely a good thing you caught it in time! I bought my LX with this blown engine, and it wasn't until I pulled the...

No aftermarket will get you 20 years. Go with T.Rad from the dealer. Ive done this job twice because I thought a Koyo would be a great value.

Personally I wouldn't use ever any lubricant on any pressurized automotive hose. Get a clean towel, put some isopropyl alcohol on it and wipe the alcohol on the inside of the hose, it'll slide right on, grip well and leave no residue.
