Thanks for everything guys, and those screenshots of the "my places" menu look familiar to me! I'll try to find those later today and report back. Interestingly, I'm not sure removing the battery works, (depending how long you would need to do that) because I had this car sitting at various...

Thanks for the reply Rob, but there didn't even seem to be a link to do that, as odd as that seems. When you try clicking on that location within the long list of stored points, it just wants you to be able to go to that location ( not delete it). The actual interface on screen seems to be...

I've searched far and wide here with no luck, and I also even read my manual for the navigation package front to back, esp page 91. (2005 LC)!!! How do I delete all previous marked locations and waypoints from the memory of my 2005 Land Cruiser navigation system, when selling the vehicle...

I'm loving the thread too. Just traded in my 05 after 20 yrs and 7 mo of ownership. Crying in my beer. I'd love to hear an update from original posters. How'd it go? ((btw, I've overlapped a 200 series LX570 ('15) for about 6 years now, and I could give you 100 reasons why I liked the 100...

Wow!!! 44k miles. About the lowest I've seen out there for pre 2000, or any 100 for that matter. I'll be watching! GLWA.

And here we sit, 1.5 years later and X miles for you later. I would be curious if you might provide an update: miles driven, maintenance or repairs required, and most importantly: how's your lower back and legs doing? ;) (hopefully much better). I'm writing from the perspective of a 2015...

Thanks so much for posting this!! Would it surprise anyone in this forum if I said that I took mine in to *a dealer* a year (or two?) ago for an oil change and they didn't put back the mid section shield. Sadly, I didn't notice until a month or so later and of course they denied their...

I do not believe these prices posted here are correct. I will have to find my original window sticker, but my 2005 that I bought in the fall of 04 was very close to $63, 500, including destination fees. And unlike the window sticker posted here earlier ( 2000 model), my 05 had pretty much...

Sold (not mine, but just viewed the Facebook ad)

That's great, thanks for update! I might experiment and for the benefit of all just (1) degrease everything, (2) replace all related evap hoses first along with PCV valve, and then wait 3-6 months to see if reappearance occurs before considering (3) taking off the throttle body and replacing...

I would be curious if this was done (replacing evap hoses) and follow-up on if it solved the problem, or was it perhaps the throttle body gasket leaking? Mine, at 193k also a 2005 showing same problem but probably 2-3x as worse (some slight pooling of oil down deeper (like his picture #3, but...

Toyota and dealerships seem to recommend every other preventive maintenance item in the book, so why not this? Toyota's brand and reputation is all about reliability. If it needed a tranny flush and refill, wouldn't they recommend it?? Imho color means nothing; what does an oil chemist...

For what it's worth, my 2005 LC with 193k miles still running the original spark plugs, and FLAWLESSLY continues to start, run (in hot or sub-zerov winter days), and seems to have same feeling of power *as it did the day I drove it new off the dealers lot* (in Fall 2004). And yes, the same...

btw, for to all it is helpful: I just got a quote at Boston area dealer to do this repair and replace these parts on one (right) side - $350. ('05 LC 100, 133K miles - all New England life; tow boat/ very rare salt water dip w/later washdown.)

Any other follow ups to this? I did the same exact thing (twisted off the bolt til it snapped trying to 'tighten' the nut that would take slack out of the system for a more secure parking brake lever. btw, you THINK the nut is twisting, but its just torquing the bolt.). I think the bell...
