Totally agree, touch screens have a novelty factor but way to much risk for tech getting obsoleted, bugs cropping up, etc.

Possible that coincidentally you have a starter going bad? Turning key and "click" of the starter solenoid with no starter engagement intermittently is how that usually begins.

Looking for hypotheses to explain something really weird that happened yesterday on my 2002 LC. I live way out in the country and leave the keys in the truck on the dashboard when parked at home, doors unlocked. Yesterday, I went out to the truck and was surprised to find all the doors...

Happy 2022. Any suggestions for a rear bumper with the following characteristics: -Decent aesthetic match with the ironman 4x4 front bumper (which is already installed) -Fairly low profile -If it includes a swingout, the swingout can be removed and stored for the occasional long trip as...

Exact same thing, I checked torque on valve cover bolts and they were all very loose. Like, a couple I could've taken out by hand. Retorqued and that fixed the leak. Careful not to overtorque

so I’ve just done the replacement on my relatively new to me truck. I’m sure this is mentioned elsewhere in the thread but worth posting because it can be easy to miss and could save you a little trouble: 1)You cannot rely on a visual inspection of these things. Yes they do turn brownish as...

Bump, still available

Mine had that same thick white and green insulation covering several of the stereo wires together. I believe it is some kind of shielding. I retained as much of it as I could.

BT45-TOY This is a plug-and-play way of adding bluetooth to your 100 series LC with factory navigation screen. Worked well for me for about a month in my 2002, but I converted to a non-nav setup and no longer need it. The included cable is all that is required if you don't mind losing...

Removed with conversion to non-nav system. In excellent condition. If you don't like the faux wood grain, it can be taken off fairly easily (its basically a sticker.) $50 plus shipping or local pickup in Seattle. Thanks

Removed from 2002 LC when I did the Nav delete. Everything works perfectly, and is in excellent condition. $200 plus shipping or local pickup in Seattle. Thanks for looking.

Well that fortunately went very smooth. Huge thanks to the pioneers, was able to convert my 2002 Nav using a 3 knob panel from a 99, adding a Sony XAV-AX1000 receiver. I kept the factory amp and speakers, so used the aforementioned metra harness. I will attach a little file I made for myself...

I'm about to start this job, and just wanted to share something that might be helpful to others thinking about it. If you go to Car-Part.com--Used Auto Parts Market and search for 98 land cruiser, and pick "a/c heater controls" in the drop down menu, you will find a ton of them for sale from...

I think what can happen is there is a transient increase in pressure in the coolant system just after shutdown, as heat from the engine is transferred to the coolant but the coolant is not circulating through the radiator. For this short time, coolant can be forced out of the weep hole in the...
