Hello all, I've kind of given up on throwing more money at my LX. It runs damn near perfect(and was pretty pristine), but the wife drove it into a pole and ruined my dream. With that being said I got everything pulled back into place and new factory headlamp installed. BUT the tabs broke on the...

You are awesome man, thank you for checking!

It’s been unplugged since I bought it back in 2022. One of the first things I did was drain and refill diff/gear box and noticed it was unplugged. I had replaced all suspension components and saw it again, figured this time I’d figure out where it went. I got my camera all up in there trying to...

It’s on the driver side, you can see it in the middle of image. It’s always been unplugged and I have no idea what it goes to. I can get more pictures, or try to atleast.

I know it. I think it's the remanned alternators from oreillys. But I've been so focused on replacing everything else except for a quality alternator lol.

Replaced driver/passenger front: UCA, LCA, sway bar links/bushings, inner/outer tie rods w/ bellows, upper and lower control arms (with frame bushings), motor mounts, transmission mount, all rear lateral/control arm bushings and sway bar bushings/link, all brake pads. Also replaced my belt...

Perfect thank you. I'm going to set some time aside tomorrow get it fixed.

I just replaced bushings on both sides. However my dumbass self forgot to put the washer on the driver side... This is the washer that slides over the bushing and sits between the frame and lip of the bushing. Does this pose any sort of danger or should I take it all apart again? To clarify...

I've got two front lower control arm No.1 bushings (the ones that are pressed into the actual arms) Part #: 4865460010 They fit 100 series (LX470). They're brand new OEM Toyota, I bought the wrong ones but it's going to cost even more to return them. I can ship if you want to pay for shipping...

Another question, on the crank you can see where I've wiped up some dirt/oil around it. So I was curious if it was leaking.. It doesn't look like it's directly leaking from the seal though. I just don't know where else that oil could have came from :/

I'm moving on to replace my water pump and pulleys etc. while taking a break from the bearing cap bolts. I noticed something really odd, when I took off the timing belt idler I got a strong whiff of what smells like propane or natural gas. The idler smells like it, and so does the allen bolt...

I might try it, just want to be careful with the cams lol. They're for sure rust free. It's clean. But again when I tried to loosen some, they would move a hair, but it didn't feel like it loosened it felt like the bolt twisted instead.

Well y'all I may have hit my limit. I was able to pull the seal out so I can take off the front bearing cap.. But I went to then start unbolting the other bearing caps, and I can tell they're going to snap. I tried 3 different ones, and I can feel turn a smidge, the same feeling I got on the...

Well I was hoping I wouldn't need to change the cam seals, I might need to. They put alot of FIPG on the bearing caps, it hasn't wanted to come off yet, it is loose though and I'm afraid to pry and dent the aluminum. BUT it seems as if the cam seal has adhered itself to the cap, I'm going to...
