Thanks all. This is very helpful. And - gulp - nothing like a $1600 MC! Sheesh... Fingers crossed it's not that. Took it to dealer to see if they could repro the problem but no luck... so... time will tell. But, really appreciate everyone's insight. Awesome - thanks everyone. Cheers, - JBro

Thanks for the thoughts on this. Yeah - the more I poke around at this and talk with folks, that's the common response. So, my question: do I just replace it? I've been told that it's "integrated" with the ABS system... not exactly sure what that means. Anyone familiar with this system? The...

I have an '04 LC-100 series. When the brake pads were ready to be replaced, I took it to a brake shop that did great work on my old 80-series. After getting the work done, we experienced some bizarre, soft-pedal/push to the floor to get the rig to stop behavior. While unnerving, the problem was...

I'm selling my forest green '95 80-series. It's in great condition, has low miles, and has been upgraded with OME springs/shocks as well as 285/75/R16 BFG T/A KOs on original rims. I'm guessing they have about 60% tread left. Also has a K&N air filter. It's very clean, windows/locks/sunroof...

FWIW... I'm probably going to do the 285/65/18 BFG T/As. I loved 'em on my 80-series and while I don't know if the size upgrade from stock 275/60/18 Duelers (which suck) is necessary, I'll feel a lot better knowing that they're built well. One note: I called Costco; they apparently sell BFG...

I'm in the same boat. My '04 with 18" wheels has old Duelers on it (OE, I believe). I've been dealing with the same issues - would prefer to keep a 60-series but go 285 over the 275. I'm leaning towards the BFG A/Ts - 285/65R18s. I have A/Ts on my 80-series and have loved them. Stick in most...

Thanks for the tips - much appreciated. I'll pick up a plastic putty knife and give it a shot. More than anything, I'm glad to hear that these trim pieces are more resilient than I probably expect. (if it breaks, I'll call you for warranty service tho, ok? Only kidding... ;-) I think the...

I picked up an XM Roady XT for my 04. My plan is to install with the optional FM antenna kit. However, I am trying to figure out how to get the faceplate/trim off of the center dash area to access the antenna input and also route the wires (i.e. the power, antenna, and antenna up the front of...

Yikes - my bad. No - it doesn't have the factory lockers. My plan had been to add ARB air lockers at some point but never got around to it. My apologies... I'll go up and correct the ad. thanks, JBro

I have a clean 80-series for sale in Seattle. Very low miles - 125k with OME shocks/springs and BFG ATs 285/75/16. Has always been strong mechanically. $9995 / obo For more details and pics, you can visit: 1995 Toyota Land Cruiser - Very Low Miles Regards, - JBro

BTW - one additional question: which Billstein is the one to go with? the 5150 or 5125? thanks, - JBro

Thanks all. Great stuff. I've heard good things about the Billsteins - a friend with a 4Runner had them and liked them a lot. I've loved my OME but... they may not be the right tool for this scenario. 3rd Cruiser: great insight. I'm thrilled with the new righ. Not happy with the mush that the...

Howdy all- I'm new to the site and just picked up an '04 100-series. I'm currently getting rid of my '95 80-series with OME and 285/75/16 BFG ATs for a few reasons. - The 80-series was getting up in miles and a little worn for the family - I need something viable in the city (Seattle) and...

Well, I have the Duelers on my '04 which I believe came stock. However, I'm about to get rid of them. I have (am selling) my 80-series which had BFG AT 285/75/16s with OME. The new LC is going to be a little more family/city friendly but I need the triple ply / tread for fishing trips, etc. So...

This is great stuff. I purchased an '04 100-series about 3 months ago with 40k miles to replace my '95 80-series. I'm assuming it's had dino oil from the start. I want to switch to synthetic. Anything I need to be concerned about other than just doing it? Thanks! - Jeff
