    Katit's LX470 2000 - take #2

    I checked with eBay seller who sold me aftermarket keys, maybe he will be able to tell something.. Keys I got say CMII ID: 2005DJ1379 and I am not sure what it means. I wonder if wrong/incorrect type/frequency will even work? Because they do work. But bad range. So I am curious to know if...

    Katit's LX470 2000 - take #2

    Every day, right? Driving it all the time now. Yesterday replaced: Transfer case oil: Well, 1/2 quart came out from a filler plug? Why? Can transmission oil travel into there? Or maybe it was replaced (transfer case) and filled off the truck? I have no records of it. Puzzled how can you...

    Project Lazarus: Bringing an LX470 back from the dead

    I mean... It's not a big deal to replace. If you going to do alignment now - I would replace now. If not - just wait. Totally doable (just like manifolds) if you are at the level of "replace engine" DIY :)

    Rear brake caliper was sticking a little so I decided to replace the rotors and pads.

    Yep.. It's more about how much you get into water, etc. Those pistons need to be lubed and covered with rubber boots.

    Project Lazarus: Bringing an LX470 back from the dead

    Thats actually "the thing" with those trucks. Replacing steering racks that is.. Maybe wait for one of those big sales and get one. From what I understand truck was parked for a while? Thats not good thing either when saying "not leaking". Once you start driving it - all kind of stuff will start...

    Project Lazarus: Bringing an LX470 back from the dead

    Very interested to see how this goes and most important - how quick? I never took on project like that. Most my projects were runners, but I had to baseline/bring up to spec. I think in a way - you taking right approach. How much of crap need to be replaced all around engine? Gaskets, hoses...

    Katit's LX470 2000 - take #2

    I figured if I do something every day - it will get done quick. Drove it to get fresh gas. Maybe some front end shimmy, but I am going to replace rims soon so will see if it's just tires. Added fuel treatment, just in case if injectors need some cleaning. Ran cleaner in oil for 15 minutes and...

    I will. Mine was not really "cold" startup. But it was parked for weeks. I suspect it might be issue with transmission torque converter locking up. At least this is what I found mentioned. In my case it doesn't do it now that I drove it. I am going to replace fluid soon and re-set level. Really...

    Kid you not. This car messing with me. Yesterday I got Techstream hooked up, car starts like a champ. Drives like a champ. No misfires, all look great. But I got adapter so installed fuel pressure gauge. 42psi is correct pressure? If so - all is well. It drops by maybe 1-2psi when revving...

    Positive. Pour water directly on roof or over gap and it would enter inside on both sides

    Katit's LX470 2000 - take #2

    Telling you.. This car testing my patience :) Today I got stereo buttoned up, steering wheel on. Ready for small test drive. I put it in R to get out of garage - shudders like misfire. Same in Drive. In parking - sounds good. Actually it's doing it when parked too, see video. When get it up in...

    LC 100 Jerks

    All answers above. With high mileage slap happens as combination of multiple components. It took flanges, axles, mounts and driveshaft lube in my truck to get it taken care of

    Sprayed on 1.5 layers of paint, then dry a little with blow gun and layer of clear. Steering wheel is still glossy (not dry). Is it perfect? No. Is it million times better? Yes. You can see some what looks like dirt specs. It's old-ish paint. I didn't strain it. And TBH I just did half ass job...
