Hi All, Looking for guidance on a noise/sensation I'm experiencing in my 2005 LC100 with ~260k miles. Between 50 and 75mph I get a noise/sensation that occurs in a pattern, I'd describe it as an mmmmmm, quiet, mmmmmm, quiet pattern. I have pretty new toyo open country at3s on the truck, maybe...

Thanks for the feedback. Am I looking for a piece of rubber or are they threaded bolts more similar to an oil drain plug? Do they just pop out using a flathead screwdriver for example?

I could have sworn I remember seeing people discuss removing plugs in the floor to let water drain after a deep water crossing, or if they had a leak (sunroof or windshield) they would get water under the carpet and drain using plugs in the floor. I'm not talking about the sunroof drains as I...

Hey all- Does anyone have a good source for center caps? I searched the forum, but only saw a post for the chrome ones. I was just parked in a fairly decent area and was surprised to come out of the grocery store to all 4 of my center caps stolen...I'm in disbelief- what is this the 80's :)? I...

Thanks for your feedback- coolant has been pretty consistent, I filled it up the day I got it because it was low, this was about 18 months ago and I've put 15k on it since then (that said the t's were clearly seeping before they blew) Checked after she cooled off today and she was still above...

I was under the truck today trying to chase down a clunk and I noticed something that concerns me a bit, curious what people think? This is the passenger side of the engine looking up where the trans meets the block. 2005 tlc, ~240k on the clock...doesn't use a drop of oil, seems pretty steady...

This is perfect- thanks again!

Thank you- do you know if I start with the top trim or the bottom trim piece? Is it just a matter of applying pressure till the clips pop out or is there a technique?

Hi All- I've searched the forum and the web- having a hard time finding what I'm looking for. Posted this as "rear wiper motor" but what I'm really looking for is just access to inside of the rear hatch. I want to scrape out the rust and repaint before it gets worse. Can anyone explain how to...

I have not, the plugs/coils are always a suspect --but is the crank positioning sensor a common problem on these engines?

I have a 2005 TLC with ~230k. I've noticed my idle hunting a bit over the last week, and it seems like it runs a slightly rough at low RPMs. No Check engine light, happens more with the AC on- almost not noticeable with the AC off- unless you're like me and you're pretty OCD about your truck...

2005 land cruiser on 33 inch stt pros, 230k on the clock Just looking for some input from the forum, curious if anyone can share their thoughts. I've cranked the torsion bars about 1.5 inches in the front, and I've lost the rake, and I've scraped the lower control arm brackets on the trail a...

Ha- thanks for the advice everyone who chimed in. The advantage is length of pull and not needing to lug around 30ft of chain (needed for high lift to winch)- but these are all valid points you guys made. The hidden winch plate does look awesome- throw the fairlead behind a license plate and...

Fair question. It's a number of things- for one, I live in an area where things get stolen- and I don't want to draw attention to my truck. The other side is the cascade of things I really should do if I wanna do an electric winch right. A good winch bumper for a 100 series is ~1k a good...

Thanks 'Slacker' do you have any experience with the Magnum 'linear cable puller" style or would you say go with the spool style come along type?
