This is probably a dumb question but I think I only need two 90080-43028? Please correct me if I am missing something...

Now that I have gone thru this whole ordeal, personally I would not proactively replacing this rod. But understand if you want to do it as preventative maintenance. Mine is a 1998 with almost ~248K miles when the rod broke. What I did was I took the broken rod (the big piece) out which is...

The manual tilt is 45280-60460 per Toyota dealer. My order for my 1998 Land Cruiser is on its way. I am not sure about the electric tilt part #.

How does the cheap rod work so far? Still working fine?

Haven't driven the LC much lately due to the pandemic. I was filling up gas and the stupid rod snapped two days ago. Managed to get some help to push her to the side so we are not blocking the gas pump. The parking spot was on a slight incline and it took 4 adults to push her. She is a heavy...

Thanks! Any problem beside needing to trim? My radiator is cracked and have a replacement on the way. I am thinking to replace both top and bottom hose while I am at it.

I am in the middle of long road trip, from KY to Vegas, with lots of stops in Colorado. Different year and tranny LC here (mine is MY 1998). I have scangauge installed. I think the highest AT temp I have seen in ~180F (engine temp ~204F) while climbing steep mountains in Colorado. I do turned...

Apology for hijacking this thread. To make long story short we drove from KY to Las Vegas for vacation/ business conference. Now on the way back to KY but want to detour a bit. We are currently staying overnight in Grand Junction and planning to go to Silverton area for sightseeing tomorrow and...

Thank you for quick reply. Appreciate it!

Sorry about that, video posted above. Thanks!

Hi all, 1998 LC 240K. I was in Estes Park, Colorado, elevation ~7500. I am hearing this buzzing sound from under the hood. It seem to come from this "thing", not sure what is the name. See the video. Apology for quality of the video, that was taken in parking lot with engine off. Temp was about...

Got mine installed, so far really like it. Like you said it make the car more linear. I notice it immediately when taking this big corner near my house, the LC is noticeably more composed. Not a sport car by any means, but the extra control when turning is welcomed. I also notice that when...

I replaced my shocks right after I bought mine ~200K (I do not remember the exact miles). They were in poor shape. The shocks should have been replaced much sooner. I then replaced steering rack bushings and that improved the steering feel a lot. I can not imagine how they can still work at...

I just got mine. I also feel a bit stiff. I guess I was kinda expecting to be a softer material. I can not squeeze these with both of my hands pushing toward each other. Is yours like this too? Do you still like it after several months? I am going to install mine tomorrow.
