Nah, that is just the 600 series that need engine swaps.

Last time I listened to AI, I cut off me schmeckle off and moved to Palm Springs to get my groove back. P.S I’m sick of customers coming in and spouting off on what AI told them they needed to do to their vehicles. It’s right about as often as a...

The 80 Series is more 1980s tech with a smattering of the 1960s, but the sentiment is the same ;)

it gets even more interesting when the posts the bots are scraping are made by bots themselves.. ♻️

I don't understand this sudden dissatisfaction with "AI" (wink, wink). If you wouldn't trust yourself to scour reddit posts for other people's opinions on topics you don't know enough about to manage yourself, why would you trust a search engine...

Don't use AI to diagnose a 32 year old vehicle, Morty. You have access to the Toyota factory service manual and electronic wiring diagrams (FSM and EWD). Download them from the resources section.

Once it's hooked up correctly, the IAC should reset each time the engine shuts down. It is a stepper motor and moves the plunger in VERY small increments. Explanation and test procedures are all in the FSM. Below are snips from the EWD.

2014 LX570, I was parked on the street last night, and went out to the truck this morning and saw this. It doesn't look like an impact to me, looks like someone was trying to pry open the fender and wheel well, I know there are some cars where...

If there was a standalone device, what all do people want? I know coolant temps. I have been farting around and have a dedicated fuel usage screen along with basic diagnostics and user settable alarms. Also a decent web ui which will allow...

Any interest in something standalone? Just started back on a project and figure people might be interested once I get something rolling. Currently polling and decoding data. Going to more UI, fuel milage/usage, and a simple webpage to...

My third row has been gone since the day I took delivery. I camp in the back of the truck on top of the drawers, and it's nearly imperative to have the exit row kit if you do that. Search a bit if you want to learn what that is. We don't get it...

Well the body shop here at the toyota dealership (i am employed here as a parts counterman ) started peeling the onion. Looks like the pillar is ok, obviously needs sheetmetal and bumper. The real unkown is if the frame is ok. Insurance makes...

New TPMS button with backlight!

Here ya go.

The LX in New Mexico May 2026

Installed Slee sliders. Second picture is in high mode.

This might be my new favorite photo of the LX.

Agreed.

Time to sell the vehicle

Figured I’d share photos of the Katzkin leather. I purchased new driver side seat foam from Toyota and had them add a heated option. The color is called Lapis Gray. I know there’s some horizontal Toyota seat heater switches that would look better...

The "Real LC" crowd is usually very clear that the lowly Prado 120/150 and Lexus GX460/470 are NOT "real Land Cruisers" :). My beef with the LC250 is that it's just too heavy (curb weights of 5,639# per Car and Driver) for a 4-cylinder vehicle...

Knock on wood but my 19-year old OEM CVs are still going fine at 206K, albeit they have been rebooted many times. They've been used in many similar situations like that (ATRAC'ing up a hill) and have not broken, although it's certainly always in...

LC250 got much weaker front CV and smaller rear axle than higher grade 4runner or even Tacoma. The product planner really screw this LC250. Like they do not want this to be an off roader. I really wanted one back on 2024 and got two paid...
