One with DRL dimming resistor and one without. One is the '06 LX with factory resistor and one I just disconnected resistor to hopefully create the brighter DRLs. Although the picture angle isn't perfect, I believe I can tell that the three...

9.5 year revival here but.......In an attempt to disconnect the DRL dimming resistor on my '01 and '04 Lexii, I unplugged the resistor harness from resistor and relay. This harness was added due to recall. I then plugged the old connector back...

Amazing find. The number of people who keep a vehicle for 23 years and 479k miles is almost nil. And with maintenance records too. You’re lucky you found it before I did ;)

Yes, $3000 is good if rust doesn't change that. I wouldn't take $15k for my 2000 with 478k miles. Although my favorite Land Cruiser with largest cool factor is a stock 80 series, the 100 series is a much more refined and better daily driver...

Thank you very much for sharing with the mud tribe!

2004 Toyota Land Cruiser, 400,000 miles Won't start, open hood, close hood, starts. Losing power when accelerating, power then comes back. Losing power when driving on the expressway, cruise or no cruise. Cruise set at 75, 70, 65, 45 doesn't...

I probably shouldn't admit how many I've got.

I've got two...Old primary master and stashed back up master. Great Product No plastic hoop to break and lose the key. Do the heater t's even if they look okay. cheap piece of mind and...Welcome!! :beer: :cool: :beer:

You did get YotaMd fobs from @suprarx7nut correct?

It is not difficult but I think one needs to get a couple under their belt before describing as easy. There can be frustrating events like rusty or corroded globe connections making retrieval difficult or not keeping enough fluid in reservoir...

^^^^ Agree....If unexperienced in the globe replacement process, I would suggest replacing all or having all replaced at same time.

The ultimate test of 'ride quality' is the 'backside test' -- how it feels personally. If happy, then delay 'globe' replacement until unhappy -- but damping is unlikely to be as good as it can be. As @BullElk highlights, the HI/LO graduation...

At my hotel during Texas Tech move in weekend. @cruiserpatch sticker on the back, got to be someone here.

Then carry on and enjoy driving it as designed and assembled. Say huh??

Unless mistaken, this is how I confirm which globes are bad. If you take off globe and can pour fluid from globe....toast.

A great start @beanTime -- and this has established that the basic functions of the AHC and TEMS systems are capable of working. Continued maintenance is well worth the trouble. Black foamy fluid is exactly what should be expected where there...

Most ot the time when you take what is called "preventative" action in LC/LXs, you just think you are preventing problems, like protecting your tranny from exploding by making sure you change the fluid every 30k miles. But you just think you...

But I think its fair to say there are more vehicles getting the tranny fluids changed fairly often than ones that aren't. I personally have used the same "very rarely change tranny fluid" method for many years on many LC/LX and zero issues. I...

476k miles and never a second of tranny trouble as of this post..... and fluid hasn't been changed but maybe 3-4 times in 25 years and probably didn't need changing then. Apparently, proper fluid doesn't need changing. I have bought another LX...

Correct

Bought these brand new Tundra wheels off Craigslist for $60. Sold the center caps for $55. WIN! Then painted them rattle can gunmetal... several times now.

Just got these mounted. They were from wheelexpress on eBay. Silver were $95 each and to get black was $105 each. Pardon Our Interruption... - https://www.ebay.com/itm/365217145853

PO put these AUS OEM 100 Series Steelies on mine...powdercoated dark gray.

I've used the factory foam gasket, and it only lasted a few years before it leaked again. The last time I used rubber window screen spline, and its held up great.
