I think sound deadening material costs a bit less than the 250 to 550 bump... :rofl:
Here is an example of the sound deadening Toyota put in the door of my Tundra, discovered when I was installing new material and plenty of it. Yay.
I've been doing this Land Cruiser thing since the very late 70s.
When the 60 Series came out, the 40 guys called it a station wagon, not an LC.
When the 62 Series came out the 60 guys said that "real" LCs had manual transmissions.
When the 80...
I doubt many would die on the hill of "the 250 is just as good as the 300." Cleary the 300 (like the 200 before it) was built to a higher spec with beefier parts. As I mentioned, I would prefer a 300. However, I do not want to drive a Lexus...
I recently used Low Price Auto Glass North Lamar location and am very satisfied. Shakim the owner is the real deal. He is very familiar with LCs. He let me bring in all new OEM trims pieces and did not charge me extra. When they removed my...
The DT in Leander ruined (scratches) two complete sets of rims when I bought tires from them in 2022. It was unbelievable. After they ruined my rims the first time, then ruined the replacement set they bought, I told them to not even look at the...
Probably an unpopular opinion, and I usually support small/local businesses, but I have Firestone's lifetime warranty on my 98 LC and wife's 2019 4runner Limited. I can take them in as much as I want to any location if I think the alignment is off.
The alignment has always been pretty good, but when rotating the tires a month or so ago, I noticed the seal on the tie rod end had blown out. The pic is after I added some grease, so I could run down a new part, (the overflow reminds me of the...
The one thing I’d say.. consider looking up the LCA pivot bolt torque spec and ask them to double check it.
They were surprised how high the number is on my 200 (probably the same for a Tundra). Many alignment shops don’t hit the spec which...
I recently used Jerry’s in Pflugerville as well on my Tacoma after I changed out the control arms and lifted it. They did a great job, and I believe it was less than $100.
I will definitely use them again
Jerry's alignments in Pflugerville is a small business that has been great to work with for three or four of my alignments by this point. Unless things have changed it's first come first served..
Swapped out tie rod end, then calling for an alignment appointment, was probably the wrong order. First available is 8/15 at 4WP, anyone have a rec for somebody else that they have used. North preferred. Got it close yesterday, but need a laser...
