    I held my while I torqued it. Easy peasy.

    Clunking noise on Front Driver's side - What to look for?

    I have a random clunking sound on the driver's side. I can't re-create it by turning the wheel lock-to-lock. It occurs moving forward or backward but I can't find a condition to re-create it. It seems like the body has to articulate some to create it but can't confirm that. I've looked at...

    Decided to Be More Off-road Serious with the FJ40

    Installed the Orion 4:1 transfer case, new flywheel and Centerforce clutch. What a game changer for crawling the rocks in Farmington NM.

    Ironman Forged UCA’s

    @scott johnson There is a recall on the upper control arm. They covered the cost of replacement and installation for me. You might check want to investigate. https://www.ironman4x4.com/recall/

    Check PCS system and throttle kick back

    Maybe your cruiser is rebelling because you referred to it as a Jeep. :-) Pull the codes to know what's going on for sure.

    My fingers worked just fine to remove those plugs.

    TPMS sensors - best/cheap source?

    Happy to report all 5 of the Denso sensors I ordered from Amazon were self-installed and they're working without issue.

    Wheel Stud issues - Attempt at running Fifteen 52 wheels

    I had a similar issue. My previous owner had installed wheel spacers that scared the hell out of me when I saw how few threads were engaged. I removed the spacers and installed extended lug nuts and have plenty thread engagement with aftermarket wheels, stock lug bolts and aftermarket rotors...

    TPMS sensors - best/cheap source?

    I just bought a Denso brand 550-0103 from Amazon sold by Seismic_. $32. I ordered one just to test and validate with. I was able to activate and input into Techstream and it worked just fine. I ordered four more today to put into my wheel set where the previous owner left them out.

    Remote Start Stopped Working from the FOB

    Does the Landcruiser have a valet mode that would disable the feature?

    Looking at LX; Lexus maintenance records incl. valley plate leak feedback requested

    It looks like the normal items have been taken care of. I wouldn't be too worried. Rust... have to take a look. I have 200K on mine and have had to drill out a couple of the skid plate bolts and I don't have a "rust" issue. There's a piece of foam across the skid plate where it holds water...

    TPMS: Is it Really All or Nothing? and Caster

    Not sure how they showed a duplicate... I know Techstream won't let you save one ID to two sensor slots. I'm not sure if the duplication check is a TPMS control module feature or a Techstream check.

    Summer in Colorado?

    I live in the area and everything I see is the local counties try to target getting a few passes open before the July 4th weekend since this is a large tourism draw and revenue source. Anything before July 1 is highly dependent on area snow pack. Some years, you'll get lucky, some you won't...

    Buying an LX with 200k on the clock?

    Runs like new. I had to fix the valley pan coolant leak (search the forum as it's a common issue). I never thought I would ever by a car with 200k miles but I did. I haven't hesitated to make round trips from Colorado to Oklahoma and another from Colorado to Dallas. I'm confident this thing...

    How to fix 200-Series refusing to engage low-range (transfer actuator malfunction)

    Before getting to serious about tearing things apart, try engaging it repeatedly. Mine wouldn't engage and during a period of a week I would routinely try to engage 4-lo. Eventually it engaged and now it engages every time. I made sure the transmission was warmed up. I have a habit now of...

    Transmission Service

    I'm planning doing a pan drain every couple of oil changes which is similar to your idea. I figure over time I'll have a pretty decent blend of newer oil. I have 200k mikes and don't know the history so I'm reluctant to do a complete flush for fear all new oil will create issues. I'm also...

    Buying an LX with 200k on the clock?

    That price seems quite reasonable. I picked up a 2008 LC last year with 200K miIes and paid considerably more.

    TPMS notes and easy DIY

    I've read in a few places where people said the markings on the outside weren't the device ID (even on Denso) so I wanted to be sure with a part number that's know to work. Thanks.
