I didn't have to remove the window or reprogram anything on my 99 to change out the motor assembly.

I see you have not received any replies - and I apologize for not being more knowledgeable, but what stops me short is your line that the previous owner soldered in direct power to the coils - that is unsettling! I would probably start by undoing this work and return to a stock wiring- then...

Fixed my rattling hubcaps with little squares of foam. It only took one per hubcap. I chose the tab with the most worn out bumps for each cap. Pictures are in reverse order. ( Look from bottom up.)

Sorry, it is sold - I'll mark it as sold. Thanks for the interest Gil

This is new in box, I will also include the tap for making the air hose connection. It has never been removed from the box. I bought it about 6 years ago and never got around to installing it. $550, I'll pay shipping to continental USA.

Made a simple catalytic converter "shield" from a cheap ¹/⁸ inch steel sheet i found on ebay for $56. Cut it to 17" x 40". I drilled and tapped four 1/4 x 20 threads into the cross member (2) , and into the frame in the front (2). Made 4 wood spacers (3/4" thick). Used blue loctite...

worked in like 10 minutes - hey, I just turned older, and I do things a bit slower. Changing the bios in my old laptop running windows 10 was needed (previous entry above.) Then needed to look at some youtubes to see how to use the software - I just want to clear air out of the ABS system on...

Mine would say: "buy a Prius, i need the gas"

Another Anza Borrego trip. Checked out Calcite mine area's slot canyon, Clark lakebed area, and finally saw the elusive peninsular big horn mountain sheep!

Replaced my park plugs after about 90K miles. Was worried about the reported spark plug problems - either too stuck, or too loose, or bathed in oil. None applied - came out fine - looked ready to be replaced but looked fine. Bought from Rockauto - examined them closely and compared to...

I would prefer this over a skid plate. I like the ability to ventilate. I tried a search on the image name on Google but didn't get a hit. Would be great to find some additional info, or better yet, one to buy!

Just wanted to confirm with you that I can install just that middle skid plate to (partly) cover the Cat. It looks like it, just wanted to double check with you! Also, regarding aluminum /vs steel. Steel is better able to spring back while aluminum tends to dent/crack. Also, aluminum...

AISIN DLT081, for my 99 LC, driver's door. Bought from Rockauto. About $145 w tax and shipping.

Replaced my drivers side door actuator, then took apart the door again because the window only went down half way. I needed to reposition the window track. I would change to a different mechanic if this one didn't just work for food. I replaced it with an Aisin part rather than trying...

What skids are you using? (I had thought that they typically only cover the front of the cats.)
