Thank you !

Some posts say yes, others say no, that the window & regulator need to be removed when replacing the front pass window motor. Mine is 2003 LandCruiser. I was planning to tape window closed and pop out motor. Does regulator have spring, and will it snap - dangerous? (Many years ago as a...

Actuator on my rear hatch stopped working completely on 2003 LandCruiser, after working intermittently for a period. Replacing the actuator did not solve the problem. I brought it to a local automotive electrical shop. Rather than do an extensive and costly project, they recommended hooking...

Just sent DM

I hear you. I just put that in as an FYI when a lot of my pipes and muffler needed to be replaced, I picked up the Borla kit for $600, shopping around online. It's great having stainless. It wasn't that much louder either. A mild growl. Good luck!

I simply attached heavy duty plastic sheeting around the speakers. Attached on the inside, through the speaker hole, so the whole backside of the speaker was protected. Simple, cheap, works fine. For true high fidelity, perhaps there are better solutions. Did this on my '03 Landcruiser a...

My truck's exhaust system is stock. I have the Borla Cat Back stainless kit which I highly recommend.

Nice...Good Luck. My '03 LC, I'm orig owner, has been bulletproof. I recommend greasing the zerks on the driveshaft. Sometimes that's forgotten. I have the Milwaukee M18 Grease Gun which is fabulous. I use Royal Purple and SuperLube greases for various applications and recommend. Also...

Replaced orig crossover pipe on 2003 which had small hole, and its gaskets which were also leaking- codes went away. 2 yrs ago replaced rear O2 sensors, gaskets were shot got rid of codes back then. The CRC Guaranteed to Pass cleaner had got me to pass emissions in the past when others...

2003 100 no problems. This summer I replaced the driver's door lock actuator, cleaned the window tracks and then applied silicone. Smooth & quiet.

Battery going back today for core refund. I thought this would have been great for somebody, very good condition, no probs. For $75, subtracting core refund if you had to return, you would have gotten a great battery for $53 w/930 CCA. I'll still write a check to St. Jude's Children's...

OK I'l take a chance on the DVD Nav unit. With regards to the headers, based on your knowledge, can you guesstimate 1. what are they made of? 2. would they replace stock manifolds with no modification to other pipes, etc? 3. would they work with stock gaskets, bolts? thanks.

Patch, 1. What are the make, model, and condition of the headers? Any pic? 2. Does the DVD Nav unit work? Will that work on an '03 100? Thanks.

I was using until Wed 6/3/25. No probs. I probably could have used it at least another 2+ yrs. My son just started driving. If it was just me, I would kept on using it.

Excellent Condition, X2 Power AGM Battery, 27F, 930 CCA, 9 yrs old. There was nothing wrong with it, never abused etc. I hooked it up to a battery maintainer/conditioner every now and then. I just topped it off. My son is driving now, so I just bought a new one. The old one is way too...
