Got some prototype brackets drawn up for the switch and sensor yesterday. Attempting to make it plug & play so the harness doesn’t have to be modified or extended. I’m trying to find a 90 degree vapor hose that’s OEM if I can- suggestions welcome. Avoiding Amazon is ideal…

I will see what I can cook up with the wife’s 2003 LX…

Received the Camry canister and will start prototyping today. I estimate early-mid November for working production brackets and full plug & play installation kits. Thanks everyone for the support!

I tried an in-line resistor but the resistance across that sensor must vary because it threw a code despite it As for reprogramming, i’m not sure. I’ve honestly never gone that deep before. Only been a “car guy” since 2020 and engine problems aren’t something i’m familiar with 😂 (tell me you...

As for this part out, I’ll close it soon. These two doors represent all that’s left of the body panels from it. All the interior bits and pieces have been removed and the vehicle now belongs to @Chippiepooh for prototypes

I have two rear driveshafts but both of them need to be re-sleeved I think. They at least need to be re-balanced

Ordered one of these canisters earlier today so I can prototype some brackets and get all the necessary hoses in order. Finally, a solid solution 👍🏼

Those were the two main things I thought of that would be my focus. I’ll sell the brackets separately for those who want to source parts elsewhere. That’s why I include PNs on my site 🍻 Full kits will include all the vacuum hoses I can find that are still in production

I'll be looking further into the Camry canister retrofit as well as other options to future-proof supply. Seems like a few small details would make a really good kit for the 98-02 owners out there in need of a new solution

This is good news. I’ll read your thread

For those curious, here's the vacuum routing and hoses for the 2003 LX Again, same color scheme as before: Yellow vents to the frame rail and into the atmosphere Pink connects back to the fuel tank (vents hydrocarbons to the canister) Green connects to the vacuum surge tank White connects to...

The problem child here is this guy: Interestingly, I can't find a vapor pressure sensor on my wife's 2003 LX- the only connections are 2-pin switches...alas. The 98-02 does have a flaw after all. Observe the vacuum lines on a US spec 1998 LX. Yellow vents to the frame rail and into the...

Since the U.S. spec 2UZ 1998-2002 charcoal canister has been delisted (NLA/disco - 77740-60390) I've decided to look into some retrofit options or working to figure out if there's a way to simplify the evap system to allow for re-fillable canisters to be used. The main issue with the 98-02...

Admittedly no- I've seen them in the field first-hand with years on them and they looked great. I'm aware that their customer service is pretty bad but c'est la vie. Perhaps LC Heaven?

Lseat can last up to 4-5 years if you condition the leather every 6 months. They are unconditioned from the factory and many people don't think to do anything about it. (I've seen some absolutely shredded in less than a year because of this) Mine are tearing and separating on the seat bottom...
