Irish Reiver

Have you tried resetting the indicator lamp using the method in the service manual?

Ditched the steel! The front end look sooooo much better! Next is to ditch those s***ty Hella and get something better. Ive been thinking about giving the HF 6 LEDs one a try. Reviews are pretty good!

found a place to get lost, and stay lost for a short while. the dog tried to do the same

I don't know why I never closed the loop on this. I've mentioned it elsewhere, but my best experience to date has been using CarbonOff to clean intake components. It was designed for use in the restaurant industry, to remove baked on carbon...

Carbon and aluminum are a match made in heaven. I have, to date, not had much luck separating them, to my satisfaction. Carbon and steel are much easier. As a matter of fact, this is on my near term to do list. I'm planning to go through the...

Explored the John Muir Wilderness and Mount Whitney Trail this weekend,

Ditto: most likely valve stem seals. Been discussed a lot in the past (helps to use the Search function, top right of each page). Toyota apparently says that up to one quart of oil usage per 1000 miles of driving is considered "normal" however...

Drove to Reno to play golf and dispersed camping. The weather reached 101 and the ECT stayed under 200 on the mountain passes but the IAT was 145 at the highest. I see a stainless dorkel in the near future!

Nice I took the girls out this morning in Oregon and didn’t see a single grouse, did spot a couple bucks for October though.

Quick run up the mtn this morning to get my steps in. And it was 9/1 so of course the gauge had to tag along. Managed to jump about 9 birds but only managed to get one. They were in some super thick pines.

Took the truck for a cruise to town to have dinner with the wife. Got home to find a nice hole in my driver side headlight. I have a spare set of LX450 headlights and my question is this: has anyone successfully transferred the glass from the...

He'd make good Shark/crocodile/drop bear food in Aus

This has been asked several times. DOES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATE WITH THE KEY IN THE ON/RUN POSITION BEFORE CRANKING THE STARTER????? Until you provide an answer we cannot continue with diagnosis. NO CEL=NO START

Only if you actually use the turn signal. It would be a waste of money in my case.

Just a little bit of harness repair. 🥴

YES!!!!!. I am in Colorado now on the way there in a bit but trying to find out why my taillight fuse keeps blowing.. haha

Fixed it: the process for checking the level and how much to add when low should remain the same. The amount of oil needed can vary depending on exactly where the measured level is, how it's measured, size of the filter, temperature of the...

I think the early 1fzfe had a cable style dipstick, either way the oil from l to f should be a quart or less, not quarts.

I practiced with the spare today. Paint thinner and sanded all the way down to 2000 grit. Mothers polish after. I think it turned out great! I think I’ll grab some 2k clearcoat also since I’ll likely be repainting the LX450 wheels. I’ll have to...

Ran the in-laws up to Moab, went to Dead horse state park, then took long canyon back to Moab

You think he'd try to operate her without lube? :rofl:

I would knee cap him but I'm irish.

I'm sure it wasn't good for it, but it doesn't sound like he did catastrophic damage. @Fj80oregon has good advice there. Best advice: get smarter friends!

You should be fine, best thing you could do is take an oil sample and send it out to blackstone for an oil analysis. You should swap the filter also and cut it open to see if you have any larger metal flakes.

Now you need to develop lift–out trays for storage. Hurry up.
