    cranks but won't start with new key

    To clarify, does the security light stop flashing IMMEDIATELY after you insert the old key (master), or does it flash a second or two and then go off (valet). Edited to add: this is the FAQ on the subject-- Programming a master or valet key -...

    Recs for MN windshield installer

    As I think the OP probably realizes, the replacement of a 100 series windshield is as much an art as a science. Or maybe the better comparison is it is closer to rocket science than middle school science. Regardless, I would interview any Safelite installer carefully about what they plan to do...

    Quote for wheel bearings reasonable?

    As a reference, a front bearing kit from Cruiser Outfitters is just under $100 per wheel (Koyo bearings) and includes virtually everything you need except grease and a set of the circlips for the CV axle end. But, for over-the-counter Toyota purchase, the parts prices shown here may be about...

    Help with Part Numbers for Vacuum Hoses

    I don't believe it is. I replaced it with generic autozone fuel/vent hose and reused the intermediate parts.

    Looking for ECU 89666-60360 for next step of trouble shooting for a 2001 LC

    I assume you tried bypassing the EFI relay already? If not, that's the first thing I'd try.

    Round 2 - Atlantis Mica Blue - Poverty Spec

    Love that blue--someone in my neighborhood must have a relative or friend with that color, I see it parked down the street occasionally and it's a head-turner.

    Alignment help needed

    Thanks, I guess my question is, what is your process? Are you just grinding any damaged threads and then chasing it with the tap? Or is there more to it than that?

    Latest Toyota/Lexus dealer sales and discounts

    What is known about impending parts price increases? I ran a forum search but couldn't find an answer. I'm pretty deep into my parts budget this month since I'm also outfitting a new 2025 4Runner SR5 with a few higher-trim parts (mainly, skid plates), but if prices are set to go up I may go...

    Alignment help needed

    2001LC, what's your process for repairing the threads for the knuckle stop bolt? The one on my passenger side LCA is missing, I have the replacement stop and nut in hand, and if it turns out I have an issue with the threads, I'd like to be ready. Looks like you're using a grinding stone and...

    Front Wheel Bearing/Race Replacement-Thank you to the forum and 2001LC

    Search YouTube for 2nd Gear Low’s video on Toyota Land Cruiser Replace Front Wheel Bearings. It’s pretty detailed, but he doesn’t torque using the scale like the FSM requires and I think that’s a glaring error. Honestly, I watched as many videos as I could find because I’m a very visual learner...

    Front Wheel Bearing/Race Replacement-Thank you to the forum and 2001LC

    I just wanted to jump on and post a big thank you to the forum and especially to 2001LC for his posts discussing front wheel bearing/race replacement. This forum and YouTube were an immense help when I undertook this project this past Saturday on my 2000 Land Cruiser. While I've replaced...

    2UZ Throttle body PCV connection

    Maybe I'm missing something--why did you remove that elbow fitting? I replaced my PCV valve and hose and clamps recently (2000LC, so same TB), but that didn't necessitate removing that elbow fitting. I think I also replaced the foam that covers the elbow, I'd have to check my parts list to...

    Tired of tire threads, too bad, these are great! - Toyo Open Country ATIII EV Thoughts

    I'd be interested to hear how they do shedding gravel/small rocks. That and wet road traction two of my biggest concerns for my area and use. I'm always on the lookout for tires that can transition from daily driver use to mild offroad at my hunting camp, and I expect to be buying tires soon...

    Towing 7,840 lbs with 2004 Lx-470?!

    Plenty of comments already, but I'd rather have a longer wheelbase than more of just about anything else when towing a big/heavy trailer. With a short wheelbase the trailer ends up controlling the truck more than the truck controlling the trailer, which is manageable for a few miles to the...

    Immobilizer/EFI relay bypass issue

    The post linked below may help sort yours out, I agree with the comment regarding the two wires you have running from one relay terminal. Not sure what the unfused wire is meant to do in your setup, although I suppose it could be connected to the EFI fuse holder on the "truck" side...
