    No it won’t. Fluid doesn’t circulate, need to blead

    Bearings would be felt all the time, not just during braking.

    I haven't gotten NLGI1 from them, but I do order other specialty lubricants (like Mobil SHC for industrial gearboxes) from Grainger and I always have it the next day. I'm not a fan of Amazon for multiple reasons.

    No aftermarket will get you 20 years. Go with T.Rad from the dealer. Ive done this job twice because I thought a Koyo would be a great value.

    I knew about the Grom, but didn't know that it acted as a separate input, that's interesting! I haven't taken a look at the CD/DVD side of things yet, but that opens up some more options. No, the tape player mechanism would be removed an a small...

    I call BS on this! Show me proof US built Sequoia’s are crap? Why are you even on this forum? Doesn’t Nissan have their own forum? You should spend your time over there. This guy has been posting the same Armada leg humping crap in the 200...

    apdxyk replied to the thread Spindle Bearing Grease.
    I've been using Mobilith SHC 221 for years - NLGI1 synthetic grease from Mobil, exactly what the book calls for the spindle needle bearings. For other applications you may look into XHP Series: XHP 222 and XHP 222 Special (with Molybdenum...

    I just did this job this weekend after reviewing this excellent thread. Here's some of my notes while it's fresh in my mind. - Need a 17mm thin wrench to hold the slide pin bolt head while you ratchet on/off the caliper mounting bolts...

    Forgive my OCD-ness, but wanted to confirm I'm not missing anything (and maybe this will help future DIYers). In addition to the OEM reboot kit (x2), and the Cruiser Garage clamp kit (x1), I'm picking up the following: Did I get the right parts...

    Outside of the boot "kit" you'll need 2L of gear lube, a new OEM differential axle seal, new axle end snap ring of the correct thickness, a new locking tab washer, possibly a thrust washer. Depending on the condition and proper/improper removal...

    I just rebooted the passenger side on Aaron (2001 LC) The kit comes with all parts needed. I STRONGLY suggest getting this tool from Amazon, CV Boot Clamp Pliers, Single Ear Hose Drive Shaft CV Axle Boot Clamp Removal and Installation Tool...

    "The major change for this 300 Series is how it feels to drive. I often describe it as ‘stress-free’. The Station Wagon-type Land Cruisers are certainly not small, but we have made this one even lighter than the 200 Series, with a lower center of...

    i use the hi-tech accessory.......a piece of wood 4x4 for jack duties.

    Don't overthink this. I've been using the lesser expensive aluminum race jacks and HB quality stands in full-time shops for over 20 years. Only ever had one jack fail. It wasn't an all out failure but just a hyd oil leak from a failed oil seal...

    Actually the redesigned HF Jack Stands, which has lock pin. Appear to be safe.

    I'll cheap out on some things, but not on jacks and *especially* not stands. I am lucky to have an old SnapOn YA700 that I picked up in 2010 and rebuilt; I also have a 2-ton Hein Werner that, while very solid (it's basically the same...

    Ive had a couple of these for about ten years now. Highly recommend. Jack and stand in one. I still have a small 2T hydraulic jack I use for manipulating suspension ect but these get 95% of jacking done.

    **I loathe the idea of driving a vehicle to signal status to other people; all of the arguments for the 200 made from that perspective fall completely flat to me, so take the following with that in mind** @drivel111, if you don't off-road, the...

    Couple of additional thoughts: 1.) I have recommended the Sequoia based on size but I totally get your preference for the LC, I felt the same way and bought the LC. They are cooler, nicer, more overbuilt etc. If the size & storage space isn’t...

    The LC won't fit 2 adults, 2 kids, dog, luggage for humans, dog's stuff, for a 1 week road trip. You'll need stuff on the roof, an external hitch-mounted carrier, or a small trailer to carry all the stuff. I have one kid, and one 85 pound dog...

    LOL. Out of date was what I liked. Knobs for radio, HVAC, not a touch screen, etc. Rockers for most everything else. No stop/start, and all other safety features (lane departure, rear X traffic, etc), could be permanently turned off. I am never...

    I sold my GX460 for more money than I paid for it after 4 years and 40,000 miles of driving it. Feb 2020 to January 2024. Also, I've been selling parts that I had stripped off of my F150 before trading it in and I am breaking even on almost...
