1999 100 Series. I put my youngest son in the old wagon. I'm wanting to get him some new tires and wheels, it still has the stock 16" wheels and old BFG T/A's on it that will dry rot before they wear out, they don't ride the best as it is. I know the bolt pattern is 5X150 but trying to get an...

Is it possible to convert a '99 to the 5spd transmission and if so what does it entail. I got my '99 to a mechanic buddy who has a Toyota master tech in his shop, the news was not very good in that this one cannot be rebuilt, it's toast. I've searched high and low for a replacement but a 30...

Unfortunately, whatever the issue is, it's out of my realm of experience. Prior to our 15yr blizzard here at the coast, it would reverse but you'd have to rev the engine to get it to move, like 3-3500rpms and it was sloooowww. I got in it the other day and when it went into reverse, it...

270K. After taking it out of Park, everything is a forward gear, even neutral.

Turns out the transmission in my ‘99 LC is shot. The transmission shop doesn’t do Toyotas because they don’t have the specialty tools (whatever those are) because they rarely see one. Is there an aftermarket source on the 4spd trans?

I had the windshield pulled and resealed when I first noticed it. I’ll try the drains again.

In the process of ordering new seat covers for my ‘99. The truck has air bags in the dash but the option asks for air bags or no air bags for the seat covers. Is there a sensor or something in the seat to select this option? Also, I’ve cleaned the sunroof ports and replaced the door...

‘99 LC that’s been sitting a while. My son had been driving it before I got him a truck and had said a few times that it acted like it didn’t want to go into gear. I had to move it yesterday and it was very sluggish engaging 1st and reverse, shifts normally after and better as it warms up...

I keep seeing these prices on these 100's and am seriously considering selling my '99. Even with all the work I've done to it, I could double my money and start working on converting my 200 from a road car to offroad hunting rig.

The shop road tested the vehicle and was in full agreement something wasn't right. They rebalanced them and it is much better but not perfect. I'm going to take them to a shop that can force balance them and see if that improves it any if this next day trip doesn't show me anything different...

I recently replaced the wheels and tires on my 2013 with Fuel Tactic 18X9 wheels and Nitto Terra Grappler G2 285/60R18's from the stock wheels and Michelin Defender M/S 285/60R18. Everything was a stock size replacement with the exception of the offset of the Fuel wheels. Their offset was 20mm...

Working on getting some now.

I got a line on a 1990 FJ60 for $2500.00. There is significant frame rust in spots, a bit of body rust as well. Mechanically the vehicle is in good condition, seats and interior are fair. Is there a source for a new frame if it were to come to that? I think the vehicle could be saved and it...

Obviously I need one.
