What color is the grill under the fabric. I’m really curious as we got our cruisers here with no fabric on the speakers its just a grill with the same color as the door panel around them

Did you grease the shafts after installing? I see a lot of people who don't grease them which results in a clunk at takeoff

When I did mine a little while back just wetting it with plain water did the trick

Nope. Found an invoice in the glove box dating about 2 years ago. Apparently an after market, real quality parts here that lasted for two whole years XD. I think I'll just get a set from a junk yard if the price is right. Ps. I know how to use punctuation, but was way too exhausted to bother XD.

Hi guys, recently my steering developed an annoying wander that I tracked to bad ball joints and worn control arm bushings both upper and lower up front not willing to dish out around 1k for a new set I decided to change out the bushings for oem ones and get 555 ball joints However, when...

I think 2002- and 2003+ have different airbag plugs ( not exactly sure but I think one has only one plug whereas the other has two plugs) 2003 and upwards sure has some great features added but personally I prefer the older interior for some reason

Maybe get a screen from a local Lx470 it should at least have english buttons on it

Noob question here do you use silicon grease for any of the bushings on the rear bar?

Common oil leak areas on the 1fz is the rear main seal, valve cover seal, spark plugs seals ( pull out a spark plug check if it or its cable is covered in oil), and pcv valve and in some cases even piston rings can leak into the pistons ( which happened to me at around 200k km when it fails you...

:lol: Well it is a 1FZ after all comes with factory rust protection BTW the hose it self should have two clamps just like the one next to it, and that intake tube is a common failure point I bet its cracked under that patch (although these seems to be no maf sensor so it doesn't really mind...

Hose on engine cover is the pcv valve

Yeah everyone complains about winter and yet I've never seen it go below 16° where I live at least up in Israel it gets a little colder than that I think as for other fans I may do that in the future but for now I'm still slowly baselining this old girl to be a DD and a long distance traveler...

I think I found the problem. The dofus who installed the previous thermostat had it upside down with the jiggle valve at the 6 o'clock position so it was most likely full of air! No wonder why whenever I opened the hood the radiator flooded everything with coolant

Got some time on my hand today so I went and got an oem thermostat waiting for the car to cool down a little more so I can have a crack at it hopefully all goes well

Both replaced with new units the overheating issue is pretty much non existent it will only overheat if the ambient tempreture is above 110f and only if it idled way too long (30 mintues and above) and it will only go up enough for the ac to cutoff and as soon as that happens it will drop...
