Well, I went ahead and bought the complete fuel pump and sender 77020-60342, pump assembly seal in case the assembly doesn't come with one 77169-02050, and a new gas cap 77300-06040 because it's probably close to time anyway. Someone mentioned Fred Anderson Toyota of Asheville having 25% off...

I'm guessing my best course of action is to run a fuel pressure test and get some data. I'll have to pick up a kit for Toyota. Reading the one quoted thread above, I will find the fuel pump ecu, disconnect it and clean the connectors with electric contact cleaner. I do have a Bluetooth OBD...

Having owned two GXs and two 100s, I for sure know this beasts need plenty of fuel for combustion. Ill keep it filled up when I hit a quarter of a tank for now. Going to get a can of MAF cleaner and give it a rinse. I filled it up once when it was close to E and it took a bit over 17 gallons...

Hi all, New to me LX570 has been awesome this last month. Just took about a 600 mile round trip out to a cabin fully loaded with gear and 4 people. Ran great, comfortable, and got decent MPGs (19.7) for the trip. After my first fill up a few weeks ago, I noticed it only took about 17.7 out...

An 11 year update! This is awesome. How many miles are you at?

Had some getting to know you time with the new truck. Crawling under and around your new truck doing simple maintenance is a good way to catch and identify issues. Coolant drained and filled, new upper and lower radiator hoses, new thermostat. Fresh oil change. Tourqed as many valve cover...

Can't stay away. Had a '99 LX 5 years ago. Then bounced around to 2 GXs, a TJ Wrangler, and even a Wrangler Unlimited. Just picked up this '02 Land Cruiser, 199k. Took of the running boards, added some new tires, and going to start catching up on all basic maintenance. Have a lot of old...

So after a bunch of life events... nothing good.... I had time to work on my GX which has been parked for over a month. I replaced the reservoir tank with a tested good solenoid. Put it back together and still did not work. I then started at the Air compressor and worked my way to the bags...

Good job! I chickened out and paid a local upholsterer to do it. $350 including the material (I think they used the same Ebay supplier) and they fixed up the foam on the door side. If your original leather is shiny use a leather cleaner and then conditioner on it. I learned through YouTube...

Thanks for the line removal tip! Here is what I made.

To remove the lines on the tank or other parts, I made one of these as recommended by a few people. .25" dia plastic tubing, 45°angle cut on the end, slit down the middle to go over the air line. Another post described it, here is a picture

Thanks man, I have one being shipped tomorrow. I'll be in touch if it doesnt work out.

Ok, pulled the tank reservoir. Tested tank solenoid with battery, no click. Tested gate solenoid and got a click. So need to find a used tank reservoir now.

Thanks, I'm going to look into used reservoir. Good idea. Got new bags in there already so if I can nurse it along another year and save for new suspension and tires that would be ideal.

I'm looking to replace rear reservoir canister and maybe rear shocks. I'll send a PM
