    3D print thread

    I have not. Should be pretty easy, though you would still want a flat area for the plug.

    3D print thread

    Should have mentioned that the washer cap I printed in TPU to have some stretch.

    3D print thread

    Yep, in awe with Ben's stuff. I'm a CAD guru but printing is another life study. A couple of mine if anyone can use them.

    PO174, PO171 and now won't start

    Not OP, I've been fighting P0171 for a few months, tried the same as in first post. Shop says fuel pump is going out, they are replacing it now. I guess 350k miles on a fuel pump is not bad. I will report back. Follow-up: fuel pump replaced, codes gone, truck runs great. Yay.

    Tired of Toyota center cap nipples.

    Did the same sort of mod, cut the clearance hole but then used the 3D printer to print new offset discs. Embarrassingly, first time I did that I printed a volleyball logo as high school daughter was using it as a daily and that was her life then. Just printed new ones as she is older and wiser...

    P0171 - CEL Troubleshooting

    Just another datum point from a very casual mechanic. 99LC, 350k miles. Got the P0171 code popping up, started with the basics from this post and others. Cleaned and then replaced the MAF, no change. Replaced the PCV valve, all good! 2 weeks passed, no code. Pretty sure both were original...

    What have you done to your 100 Series this week?

    If you make it to 350k, your "D" light starts working again.

    You have better websites than I do 😁

    Windshield Washer Fluid Filler Cap - 1999 LC

    Online images of the above part number all show a round cap. Looks like early 100's had this oblong shape, and the cap comes with the filler. So, Plan B it is. CAD model, print in TPU, add pivot bar (cut off nail), and we have a replacement. Quite snug fit, I like it. The pictogram needed...

    Windshield Washer Fluid Filler Cap - 1999 LC

    Thanks, I had seen that number but it didn't show up as for my year in several places. I'll order one straight away.

    Windshield Washer Fluid Filler Cap - 1999 LC

    I'm not seeing any discussions about this, surely I'm not the only one with a daughter so very proud of refilling the fluid herself but forgetting to reinstall the cap? I see no part numbers in the parts diagrams, maybe it only comes with the filler neck? I'll 3d print one tomorrow if no one...

    LED bulbs in tailgate brake lights?

    I'm big on LED's, always replace them on my old motorcycles. But I can't bring myself to do that with the LC. 1999 model, 350,000 miles, and like so much on this beast, all rear bulbs are original. Have never touched them. Makes me smile.

    Cabin Filter Change and the Recirculation Flap Issues FIXED

    Thanks @Oakleyguy ! Such an elegant fix. Took me about 45 minutes, would be 20 next time. And the door works perfectly.

    What have you done to your 200 Series this week?

    2016, 129k miles, new to me earlier this year. Had the much discussed sloppy shifting, so I had my local dealer reflash the TCM. Fixed the issue completely, so much better. Service records show a transmission fluid replacement last year at a Toyota dealer, but obviously they did not do the...

    D Drive Indicator light out?

    Apparently if you love and care for your 100 long enough, the D light comes back on. First time lit since I've bought it in 2001. Must be enjoying its time in Hawaii.
