I'm currently running Euro-spec Mobil 1 0-40 in the summer, it's widely regarded as an excellent oil, has Porsche A40 approval, etc. Note that it's thicker (even at most startup temps that your car will actually see, including cold mornings) than...

Hey guys, Wanted to see if anyone was running a 0w-40 oil in their 100 series. I've got an 05 with 294k miles. Runs strong and looks very clean inside (just had the valvcovers off to replace the gaskets). I'm hearing an ever-so-slight...

My local mechanic checked. Started getting ODB errors for temp sensor, Misfires errors, Cat Sensor errors. So everything is just getting wet. I noticed it kept drinking coolant but viewed no leaks. Then started smelling coolant ... and the...

Wee bit fat this trip. Probably the heaviest I've been. Drives great and shrugged off 400 miles today easy.

Overfilling gas tank, is number one reason 03-up CC flood.

Keep in mind, some fuel tank pressure and hiss as cap cap removed, is normal and noted in Owners Manual. Some will say all 100 series boil fuel. It is just not ture. Non run hot or boil fuel in my part of the world, they day they come from...

My 20 year old, highly calibrated bathroom scale indicates 22lbs is pretty close for the 5 stars.

Where you overcharged ? Did Dissent refuse to refund you if you were ? . Or did you just see mistakes on their site and point them out? Then were not satisfied they did not fix the in a time frame you liked ? Dude most Land Cruiser company's...

Had the opportunity to suggest to a local customer my new 29.5mm torsion bars for his 1998 Land Cruiser VX Limited. He's deleting AHC (sad) and purchased the Ironman4x4 kit which included the 32mm bars (also made by X-Sway- where I source mine)...

Lower Ball Joint (LBJ) often creak when dry/failing/failed. New OEM LCR are great, but $$$. If LCA damage, for sure replace it. Most just replace LBJ with 555. You'll find many threads on the subject of ieter choice! I take knuckle off and...

Howdy all, I have a shop that's dropping my tank to repair some major rust issues. While the tank's dropped, I'm thinking to just replace the fuel pump since it has 250k on it and I'm not looking to have it dropped in the near future. What else...
