    Odd 4LO Light Flashing

    This sounds familiar. If. you see it again, check out the threads on knock sensors and rodent damage to the wiring harness under the intake.

    A tire guy tightened my wheels with impact wrench only… anything I need to check?

    Watch carefully if the tire guy uses an impact gun to spin the nuts on. If the nuts don't spin when the torque wrench is applied, the nut is already at or past the recommended torque from the impact gun. I see this all the time. Once the torque wrench is applied, it usually clicks instantly on...

    4lo trac off check engine

    I'd recommend a borescope to look under the intake before spending the time removing it. It should be pretty obvious. Here is a thread with examples of the rodent issue and repair: https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/dtc-p033d-knock-sensor-4-ie-a-mouse-ate-my-wiring-how-to-fix.1222494/ Rodent...

    Worth Upgrading from an '07 LX?

    I've owned both. The 200 is a big upgrade (features, power/performance, and luxury) but I still have a fondness for the look and feel of my old 100. The rub with the 200 is that it feels bigger. The visibility and command of the road in the 100 is/was better IMO - it just seemed more rugged and...

    Am I pushing the towing capacity?

    OP: It can be done. Just be sure you have good trailer brakes and a good controller. However, for those considering the merits of regularly towing at or near the rated capacity with a LC, I'd suggest you rent or borrow a heavy duty pickup, pull the same load (preferably in the hills/mountains)...

    DTC P033D: Knock sensor 4, ie: a mouse ate my wiring. How to fix.

    Regrettably, I am now in this club. I believe it was the former owner's doing. Following my purchase, I was doing the basic stuff like oil and filter change, new engine air filter, etc. I cleaned a ton of debris out of the engine bay where leaves fall down from the windshield. In general it was...

    Most satisfying thing you did to your 100

    1. VAIS SL3B Bluetooth integration. 2. BFG A/T KO2 x5 3. Leatherique Would add HID conversion, but all the parts are sitting in my garage awaiting install.

    Your no bs mpg

    Keep the Honda as a DD, you'll save wear and tear, fuel, and maintenance plus it will make you really appreciate the LC.

    What have you done to your 100 Series this week?

    How long did it take you from start to finish? The LX still has a year or more but my :princess:'s RX400h needs it and I'm on the fence on hiring it out or doing it myself.

    Before I Begin AHC Swap...

    'Clean' fluid is pale pink. The fluid in your res is dirty-ish and I'd bet the stuff that comes out of your accumulator and globes will be black. The fluid in my res was almost clear with a very slight pink tint and the stuff that came out on the corners looked like cola.

    Looking at 2006 with blinky AHC... walk away?

    I stand corrected. I Just read the manual and there is no mention of the parking brake. I have been operating it incorrectly for the past few months. Thanks for the heads up.

    Looking at 2006 with blinky AHC... walk away?

    Make sure you meet these conditions before trying to raise or lower with the selector button: - Truck is in park - Parking brake is set - All doors are closed - Engine running - Foot off the brake It will just blink and not raise/lower if the above conditions are not met.

    New LX470 owner.

    No records beyond 80k would draw my suspicion that the TB has NOT been changed. There should be a sticker on the cover if done by a reputable mech or dealer. The parts kit comes with the sticker, so doing the work and not spending the 30 seconds to put the sticker on seems illogical. My $0.03...

    So, what're these for?

    Year? LC or LX?

    The start of Rapido's Build .....

    I'm not sure where you drive most in the Houston area, but just north of Austin, the deer are everywhere. That alone would drive me to an ARB over the Slee (even though the Slee bumper looks better IMO).

    my wife wants a 2007 LX should I?

    I looked at a 2008 LC with 118k recently for $33k before buying my cream puff 1 owner 07 LX with 71k. Asking price was $4k more for the LC but the condition was a huge divide. The LC was trashed, smoker, carfax revealed accidents and it had multiple owners. Since I'm no longer in the market, I...

    my wife wants a 2007 LX should I?

    Unless you get seriously lucky, you'll pay $10k more for a 200 of comparable mileage and condition. Plus, the styling went from Land Cruiser to Bland Cruiser in 08 IMHO.
