kbfj621989's latest activity

Had another theory about the non-working steering wheel adjustment yesterday: There should be a beep/buzzer when you have the key in the ignition lock and the driver's door open, but there isn't. Hence I figured, that since this is a really...

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...

Thanks, I had seen that number but it didn't show up as for my year in several places. I'll order one straight away.

CAP ASSY, WINDSHIELD WASHER Part number: 8531642011

Used it to escape July 4 fireworks for the dog...who wouldn't stay in the picture. Not pictured: the 3" gash in the sidewall up front. :bang:

Unless it’s due for a change, you should be able to massage the gasket back into place. I added some RTV to the channel where the gasket meets the filter frame (no RTV to the filter box) to hold it in place.

Here is what a new Toyota radiator for a 2000LC looks like

@2001LC Good point about the air filter. I found the same gasket curling on my rig but in the opposite corner. I also had an Denso rad without the foam. I added 16465-50370 Toyota OEM Genuine PACKING, RADIATOR (from 200 series) to the top and...

It’s a straight forward job. I covered up the alternator and drive belt with plastic so as to not get any spilled coolant on these areas. Check your aluminum surfaces for any pitting.

Lubing threads!! o_O Very risking, even torquing to spec of 13ft-lbf. If threads lubed in any way. I've seen test on youtube. Of thread lubed, before torquing. They can be as much as 100% (double) over torque. So at 18ft-lbf lubed thread (anti...

If you can find the missing piece, I would try to plastic weld/epoxy the tab back together.

Just threw on a set of Sumitomo 33” AT tires: After some research I ended up with a better set of tires than what I had with the Falken Wildpeaks.@ $150 each.❤️ These track better in the wet and dry…. (they look really close to my Wildpeaks and...

I love retiring previous owners worm clamps… it’s the simple pleasures in life.

New old man emu upper control arms and new toyota CV axles and hub flanges to replace the auto part store specials that were in there. (Cone washers can suck my nuts and i feel bad for the next guy who has to change mine)

Changed out the heater tees and replaced all the hoses and clamps with OEM. Previous owner(s) had only replaced the left side and used worm clamps. The right side crumbled when i touched it. Also replaced upper and lower rad hoses and...

Had entire windshield tinted with a 70% nano-ceramic film. Keeps the heat and UV out. Imperceptible from the inside or out but the difference is huge.

Replace my original radiator with an all aluminum radiator from CSF. Dropped in nicely and the fan shroud fits nice and tight up against the radiator. Coolant overflow bottle tabs are a little off only allowing 1 bolt to fit without widening one...

Sorry I never came back to this thread, been a busy week. I picked it up Tuesday, they didn't do anything more from Sat-Tues as they never could trigger the CEL again in 42 miles they drove it. When I got in, there was no light but my reader was...

I did no notice that I was missing this on my rig. Thanks for giving me something else to buy :)

So.. I was staring at the non-fitting part and finally connected with the literal instructions printed on the face. It took more of a push than I expected, but 55445-60100 was indeed the right part. You need to shove it in good and hard and...

Yes, it works perfectly and as many times doing the cycle thing as I need it to.

Does your door lock motor work correctly? If you use the electric switch panel to lock and unlock the doors, does it slowly fade and stop working?

Just yesterday a River Rock Mica 1999 popped up here in Austin on FBM, with 170Kish miles and in what looked like great condition. A friend who's been looking for one jumped on it, arranged to go see it. When he ran the CarFax the truck came up...

PM sent.

Supposedly ready for pick up. Says his guy put 42 miles on it and no lights at this time. I missed his call but that's what he texted me.
