Hey all. We just moved to Medford. We have a 1999 100 series that has a few issues suddenly. I'm not sure if some or all of them are related or not. Hoping someone can help point me in the right direction or maybe to the right local mechanic. We moved from northern nevada, altitude about...

I can't say I have had very good experiences with the local dealership. They are also very expensive from my experience. Hopefully I can get into Sunshine today.

Great info as always guys, thanks for all your contributions

100 series. I wish I still had my fj40...

I need to have my 555s installed, but can't find anyone to do it. Can someone recommend someone in the Reno/Sparks area that can remove the old ball joints and put the new ones in? Thanks!

Thanks everyone, got everything but the rack from Cruiser Outfitters. Got the rack from Roseville (Cali) Toyota. Site said nothing about it being a rebuild, but it turned out to be a Toyota rebuilt one. Everything is being installed, but my normal guy can't do the upper ball joints. Having a...

I need to do some front end work on my 1999 100 Series LC. I am in the category of knowing enough to be dangerous, but I have a mechanic buddy who will help with the actual wrenching. I know many of these questions have been asked before, but a lot of the post are older, so I want to make sure I...

Thanks for the offer J1000, but I'd rather get new ones. Looks like Rock Auto has the best price on both the coils and plugs.

Thanks. Any better source than Jegg's? They have the denso for under $60 each.

I got a misfire on 3 code the other day. Swapped injection coil with 1, got misfire on 1 as expected with a bad coil. What was unexpected was I also got a misfire on 2. Should I replace the first faulty one and move on? Replace both? Look at a different problem? Thanks.

I think Delphi and Denso are the OEM.

Trying to revive an old thread. Could doing the TPS calibration wrong (with the APPS connected) cause a P1128 code and failure to start? It was reading 14.9 when I set it but it goes to 17.6 when I try to start it and doesn't go back. I adjusted it again (with APPS connected), it is now...

If only mine was that accessible without removing a bunch of stuff...

It appears that M4-0.7 x 16mm are the right size, but maybe too long. I bought 4 washers to shim if needed (2 per side). I'm really struggling to get the throttle position sensor installed though, tight space for my dumb hands... Trying not to disconnect anything I don't have to, looks like a...

Awesome, thanks!
