That’s the electronic steering lock actuator assembly. There should be just one. You have two. Lucky you!
The one that is plugged in is the one that is “operating.” But since it isn’t connected to the column I am assuming your steering column...
Before cleaning, the switch wouldn't turn on when held up by hand.

After reinstalling it, it's amazing. It used to take 5-10 seconds to turn on, and sometimes...
This is how Prado’s are made, right?!?
Brought one home today, we figured it was time to add a “her’s” to the garage. Thanks a lot to @32cls6speedmt who had a lot of great advice and everyone who chimed in on my windshield thread. I guess...
Paid $975 for labor at an indy shop.
Parts I got through the local dealership were $483 with club discount.
That included the Toyota FIPG, spark plugs, heater t/hose combo, 2 heaters hoses at bell housing (oil cooler?), union pipe Gaskets...
After getting the $2300 quote at one independent shop, I ended up going to a Toyota off road shop (Tandem Automotive) in DFW. There it was $1823 out the door. Nice guys and seems like they did a great job.
Hey all,

Does anyone know if it's possible to keep the AUTO button turned on all the time for the climate control? Right...

Yeah...so, using the markings from the old TPS to align the new one did not work for me. Not even close. Based on the FSM instructions (thanks for those @Chango Blanco) the new one is significantly further to the left.
I still don't feel like...
The oil pump on these do not "go bad" without serious engine damage. A loose crank shaft bolt will starve the engine from oil and cause a loss of power steering. If the bolt is loose, you may have been starving the engine of oil causing all sorts...
Are you being told this by your local dealer?
If so, they are pulling the wool over your eyes. These were built in other countries until 2007 (the 80 series) so depending on which version you have, there are tons of parts available. I'm pretty...
Hello fellow mudders! I wanted to say hello and introduce myself and my newly acquired 1994 FZJ-80. Haven’t thought of a name yet but I’m sure my kids will help decide it soon. Maybe I’ll name it FMC like my mud handle. “FMC” in the aircraft...
