Just put it in... ^^. It did not.

3 years, still chasing. Brought it to the stealer a couple months ago to let them diagnose with their black magic and was told it DEFINITELY needed at least a charcoal filter, but maybe more. I had my doubts but I ordered one from Toyota and put it in with no change. So that was nice. Even...

I think you guys are right. I voiced my concerns when new torsion bars weren't on the quote and the shop said they purposefully don't swap out TBs in order to maintain a more LX like ride quality (as opposed to the LC100). Lex Connection is supposed to be the best shop in Maine. I travel over an...

Thanks for the reply. When I was cranking my TBs i would crank them, drive to work the next day, drive home, measure. Repeat. For three days in a row. On my drive home day 2, i didnt have a vibration. Cranked my TBs, left the house the next working and had a vibration. I can slowly accelerate up...

Hi all. I asked this on my alignment post over a week ago but didnt get any responses. 2004 LX with 248K. Hydraulic suspension was professionally swapped for conventional 2 years ago without touching the torsion bars. I finally got around to cranking them to increase the front height because...

Thank you for the replies. It's a decent shop and i have a lifetime alignment, there just aren't a lot of 100s around here. While i agree it should have been done correctly, i'm not sure they knew how. I'm going to plan on making an adjustment myself and bringing it in for them to check/tune...

2004 LX with 247K. I had a shop a while back replace the leaking hydraulic suspension. Unfortunately they did not replace or even adjust the torsion bars and my front end was 3" lower than the rear. I recently adjusted the bars until I got to 0.75". As expected, the camber came in off...

REMINDER: LUBE YOUR SUNROOF TRACKS Hey all. Kids had swimming lessons on a cool day yesterday, so I turned the heat on for the first time in a few months to warm them up. Nothing but ice cold AC air whether I had it on auto or switched to manual controls. Today I put the AC on for the drive...

Got it, thanks Bisho. I have access to both cables so maybe I can operate it by hand.

I decided to just strip the interior and it went pretty well. I'm sure going back in will be fun. Still was a PITA getting the sunroof slid forward but I had some help and we were able to pry and pull. Reinstalling the sunroof, it is sitting flush in the front but the rear is down half an inch...

I'm guessing that you're right. As the cable sits in the slot, if I press in to it with a screw driver I can see pb blaster pushing up around it where I can access it. I think I'll just have to take the whole thing down.

Well I took down some of the headliner today to access the cable and tube. I just want to get this thing buttoned up so I cut the cable where it comes out of the sunroof in to the tube. Turns out it is NOT stuck in the tube. The cable is stuck in the sunroof frame. So now I need to decide if I...

No I appreciate the discussion! I don't need the sunroof to be functional. Do you think it would be possible to pull the headliner back, cut the cable and pull the sunroof forward then put everything back together? Id rather have the $500 than a working sunroof that I rarely use.

Well I put vice grips on the cable and with my wife pulling on them and me pulling on the window it didn't budge. So I hooked a ratchet strap up to the vice grips and put my tractor on the other end and snapped the 400lb strap without it budging. GD. so I need the cable guide case: 63221-60030...

Thanks i did see a lot of your work in previous threads. If i can close the sunroof by hand and install the motor at that point to keep it closed, do you know if that would hold it tight enough to keep from leaking?
