If it is rusted, then get rebuilt or new calipers, else you can easily rebuild those. Use OEM seals and dust covers. Getting the dust cover is bit tricky, as there is no grove to hold the circlip, but keeping the mating surface (dust boot to...

Welcome, this forum is very active with tons of "by the book" DIY advice and people are super supportive, it's really a treasure. Glad to have you aboard. Post pics and keep us updated on your progress! 👍

It's probably your tilt and telescopic column motors that have failed. They're not to bad to change out. Also, having a second person when fixing the antenna is very helpful. You just need an extra hand cycling the antenna up/down while you're...

Hi all, I have recently become the proud owner of a 1999 Land Cruiser 4.2D. This is not only my first Land Cruiser, but the first 4x4 / SUV type vehicle I've ever owned. (Well, years back I had access to a Lexus RX400h and then an NX, they were...

To be clear, this is after pulling a vacuum on the system? This is good intel, thank you.

I ran at 850g and based on the service manual guidance was a little under, so now running 900g. I need to recheck the performance with this new qty. Capped on the HP side at the Y fitting behind the bumper (machined a blank fitting) and LP side...

I hate cans. They never work because you'll almost always over charge if you aren't super careful. I do however work at a shop and have access to a professional AC machine where I can get the refrigerant down to the gram

Just did this. 29 oz

From the spray pattern it looks more like axles that brakes I don't see how brake fluid would have exited the middle of the axle. If its gear oil, you should be able to smell it, that stuff is pretty distinctive. Probably feel it, too, as it's...

Been following your thread so I'll be curious to see what comes out of the parts cannon! :rofl:

Their entire e-commerce platform is f'd up tonight. All the SE dealers. I was able to get an order confirmation after several attempts and clearing my cookies/cache, but unable to add anything to the cart beyond what I put in a few days ago. When...

UPS if I remember correctly. Give them a call and they'll tell you, might be both UPS and FedEx since they both drop off there.

Thanks! Ordered!

Hey everyone. Just joined the forum and wanted to say hi and share my rig. I drive a 98 Lexus LX470. I bought it from my dad (a long time member on this forum, TLC Dan). Basically how that came to be was I had a very clean 4th Gen 4runner V8 that...

Hmm I wonder if more frequent oil changes may help. 3k miles or 6 months whatever comes first. Plus 5w-30 maybe try? Also try Toyota oem air filter in case you got after market and maybe premium gas 91 or higher octane for several fill ups or so...

wow man, this is cool, im glad you're enjoying the thread! this is 140-150 hours in 30 days and its super nice to get some feedback like this. thanks man :D

My first though/concern: Stain and fluid appearance in brake reservoir. I can not, see reservoir well in your pictures. Nor can I tell if dirt cleaned off outside of reservoir, revealing inside appearance. But if reservoir stained inside, it is...

I’ve had her for 16 years :D just breaking in the new engine. Only at 10 psi rn 😄 gonna boost to 18 once I put some miles on it

Less cruisers, more of whatever that car in your avatar is that sort of made an appearance in an earlier pic =] lol wtf is that thing? Def need matching exhaust tips for your cruiser

This was a first for me, did really good with a couple inconsistencies. almost wish i went with the darker walnut, but the grey is close enough

A repost but a necessary add-on to this thread. From NGK: 5 Things You Should Know About Spark Plugs

See this is what makes a good mod a great mod. Thanks @Trapper50cal. I actually bookmark many of @2001LC threads because they’re so thorough, and I had a vague memory of there being a cautionary tale around plugs, but I couldn’t remember. Thanks...

Yes, I run mobil 1 0w40 in all of my cruisers and have for the last 7-8 years. If you have a tap that is not an exhaust manifold crack, it is likely in the valvetrain. all but one of my 4 2uz's has cold start piston slap, but that goes away in 30...
