I installed an OME 1.5" with tbars and have the same problem. Thought it was my CV because it makes a similar click noise so had my front left replaced and still there. I have probably .75 inch rake and 33 inch tires. My only thought is that it could be my bigger tires causing some sort of...

My 06 has a strange noise from right side as well and is intermittent when Im driving/steering through town (sometimes in park too). If you didnt know anything about how engines sound you probably wouldnt notice it but I can definetely tell it is abnormal. Also not sure if I need to figure this...

Great video looks like a simple job. Thanks for the reference

I just put a BT 45 TOY adapter behind my glove box. The thing is better than any stock bluetooth pairing system Ive ever had. I have a question about your maintenance. Ive been searching about how to properly grease and service my drive shaft as it says in the maintenance records every 5K. BTW I...

Sounds very similar to mine. Have not looked at body mounts but rear bumper/spare tire area was definitely the worst part. I just took off surface rust from big parts and treated/coated for this winter. In the spring Ill take some of it off and reassess. Im going to drive this thing until the...

wow that was a nice find on the 03 in New England. I replaced my failing ACH with OME kit myself and really got a chance to get into the guts of the truck. The absolute toughest bolt Ive ever cranked on was the torsion bar adjuster bolt (30MM) that appeared to have never been touched since...

my diffs look similar to that in the photos above. I thought I found a unicorn 06 with about 110K on it but what killed the unicorn was the decade it spent in New Jersey. The rust has not affected the intergrity of the frame or major parts but has taken a toll on smaller things (parking brake...

Ill be in memphis this weekend but would love to do that sometime.

I just got into an 06 LC with about 110K and already dumped some hard earned $$ into neglected replacements/maintenance. In the Nashville area. Is anyone meeting and discussing cruisers still?

im going to test wiring with a multimeter to save time (if wiring has no power then I know its the amp front channels). In the case that my channels on the amp are fried then what are my options. I would love to buy a 70 dollar 4 channel amp and run it without removing factory amp (to maintain...

yea they are both 2 Ohm speaker sets so they should match the factory set up. Would it be blown if the rears/sub in back is still working? Also do you know how I would check this? I called a local shop and they want 120 bucks just to diagnose for me. No thanks to that haha.

Just installed JBL GX600c components in front and 5 1/4 2 ways in the rear. They worked for 24 hours sounding great. I woke up this morning finding that my front channels are unresponsive like there is no power going to them. The rears and subwoofer are sounding great still. I am sure it isnt...

did you figure ou the issue? i just installed components in the front and they worked for one day then this morning i turn the car on and nothing. seems like there is no power in them. rear and sub seem to be working fine.

Used to have an 04 cruiser. Miss it. I used Dexron II or III ATF fluid. After we drain and filled twice I turned the wheel (front end was lifted the whole time) back and forth at about 50% until my buddy said there was no more bubbling. Could be that i need to do that again? I dont think it...

2006 Land Cruiser 110K miles I had my timing belt / water pump / serp belt / tensioners , seals, etc. done today. I drain and filled my power steering fluid on October 31st. I noticed when pulling into a parking deck earlier that when I turned my vehicle there was a faint whine noise. It is...
