    Rear water bypass joint - coolant leak source?

    The pipe that goes in to it can easily break near the base, I damaged mine replacing the heater Ts on my last cruiser something like a decade ago. Can't say if the shop that replaced your heater Ts actually caused it though. Wouldn't surprise me if it was already degraded, and any...

    LX470 no power when pushing on gas pedal

    Just going to throw this out there since it was also intermittent and didn't throw a CEL, but the cruiser got totaled before I solved it. I would occasionally lose power when I was heavier on the throttle. It didn't have to be completely flooring it, but more than I would normally use to...

    VSC Light (Slippery When Wet light) came on when I took a corner hard

    My last 100 had something similar happen years ago, where VSC would flash and beep at me, but it would also apply brake to one wheel. It only happened while turning at highway speeds though, which made the added braking part a much more fun surprise. Turned out of the rear calipers fell apart...

    Switched from Group 24 to 27 Battery - Alternator Mods?

    https://www.cruiserpatch.com/products/agm-battery-voltage-boost-regulator-gm-12135037 It's just a GM diode you replace a fuse with. You'll need to trim the sides of it slightly to fit it, super easy if you already have a pair of snips lying around.

    SOLD Dallas, TX: 2003 Toyota Land Cruiser 100 series, 374K miles, Extensive recent maintenance, great project truck

    I almost never used mine either, but that's actually the problem. Used it so little the tracks are somewhat seized up and it's a struggle to slide it open. Generally not an issue for me, but if I ever need to clear the drain lines again it's going to suck.

    Sunroof still work without any issues? Does it have rear AC, and does the system have any leaks? My cruiser got rear ended this week. Still driveable, but wondering if it might be easier to just pick up this.

    Problem removing rear fender flares ('02 LC100)

    Isn't there an adhesive/double sided tape also holding them on? It's been six years since I removed mine, but I remember having to clean a line of adhesive off all my fenders.

    Should engine load at WOT be 100%?

    2000 Land Cruiser. Shouldn't be too much slack, but I haven't touched it in a few years so I'll double check. Don't have multiple/thick floor mats either. The code I was clearing was a P1126, which will randomly pop up and disappear over the years. Everything I found on this code showed...

    Should engine load at WOT be 100%?

    I had a CEL pop up today, and while using the Torque app to read/clear the code I randomly decided to look at engine loads. I noticed that when flooring it the engine load never got out of the 70s, usually sitting around 74-78% at WOT. Is this normal?

    What's a smart way to get 12v and ground behind the center dash?

    That's what I have, a built in 6 CD changer (it has the plug for a 12 CD changer, but one was never installed). Is the '98 different from the 2000?

    What's a smart way to get 12v and ground behind the center dash?

    I have a Crux bluetooth adapter for my 2000. Plugged it in where you would plug in the factory 12CD changer. It doesn't have every feature the Grom does, but it doesn't cost as much either.

    New dissent offroad no cut rear bumper!

    Can the tire carrier be on the right side, or can you have dual tire carriers? Every picture I see has a single one on the left.

    I really didn't like the windshield jet pattern so $20 and 20 minutes fixed that.

    I spent more time trying to find a sweet spot, and I got my passenger side working well enough, but my driver side doesn't want to cooperate. There could be a leak, water does run down the hood, but I can't tell if it's an actual leak or just the "turning the hose off" effect. One thing I did...
