Any update on the next batch of preorders?

1. Start the car 2. Connect the mini-vci cable from car to laptop 3. Start Techstream

1.4.x I've looked into sourcing a few cases of 2.0.4 cables, but they are much more expensive. I could get some if there's interest, but the price would be closer to $89.

Shoot me a DM. I have cables for $39 shipped. The quoted message was from when my inbox was full.

DM’d … also cleared out the inbox 😂

I purchased this crank pulley holder, and it worked well. Not sure where I got $20 from, probably looked at the price of cam pulley holders by accident. The one linked above was $60 when I ordered it in 2019.

Fwiw, the steering in my 02 LX470 is much heavier than my wife’s ‘18 Explorer or any F150 I’ve ever driven. At one time I was concerned, but the steering was just as heavy as a comparable year GX I test drove.

https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/lx470-dies-intermittently-after-timing-belt-solved.1171673/ Check the cam sensor wire and make sure it’s not rubbing on the belt. Since you said it happens when the car is not moving it doesn’t really make sense as the source of the issue, but I would try and...

I posed the parts I used here: Completed My First Timing Belt Job Parts + Shipping were ~$550 from McGeorge Toyota (Link to parts store). I bought Aisin fan clutch / fan bracket on Amazon, and they are not included in the total.

Correct, I did the timing belt with the wheels on. For a/c compressor, top bolt was easy with a short socket, and I got the side bolt loose enough to move the compressor a bit (But did not remove) with a flex head ratchet and a deep socket. I watched the OTRAMM video with the engine on a stand...

The belt itself looked brand new. Water pump and pulleys were showing some wear. -g

My truck developed what I would call a 'roar' or groan that turned out to be a bad serpentine idler pulley.

I finished my first timing belt job last weekend and wanted to write up a few things while they were on my mind. My LX470 has 195k miles, PO did a (what looked to be belt-only) timing belt job at ~100k. I followed along with OTRAMM's excellent videos: 4.7L Toyota Timing Belt Disassembly and...
