I'm going to sweep the junkyards every now and then to see what I can find. I would *love* to have some cooling since Houston is hot and humid as crap for much of the year. Right now, I only got heated seats and that's not....very useful. I know the "ridies" seat covers would run me about...

Thanks for the detailed tips. I’ve been wondering about that sais. I’ll get to those injectors after my next paycheck. As for fluids, reservoir levels are corrected though I’m likely to do another change of the coolant in the next 10000 miles because the brake fluid needs changing anyways...

I’ve been on your vendor site a lot lately, haha! Thanks for your input. Is there any harm in this delete if parts of the car are then inactive for a time and the delete is reversed?

Wish my engine looked like that under the manifold…… I notice you don’t have a secondary air injection system, either. Maybe when this truck gets old enough and more disintegration happens, I’ll bypass it.

Yeah, a few folks have mentioned the starter. I’m going to look into options for that but my checking account might need to take a breather. Those things look oddly expensive though I feel like a diy rebuild is an option? If you’re doing what I’m doing to my 07, let me know if you run into any...

That’s after maaaaany hours of scrubbing with dollar store brushes and about 1.5 liters of dawn dish soap and 12 cans of brakleen haha! To do all of the repairs, took me probably around 60 hours total but probably 15 hours of that was cleaning all the leaked oil off! Yeah this might be a car I...

Yeah, prior owner’s overfilling, but I’ll probably be bleeding the brakes as part of a brake job soon anyways. On another note, doing all this work myself has been a good way to learn the truck thoroughly just like I have my other cars. If anyone is just starting out turning wrenches and...

Wow, 1/4” is a lot. I’ll check mine next thing. I worked a but if grease into the spindle bearing but I admit it was a bit half-hearted. That said, I slathered every possible other greasable surface with grease including around that bearing, so maybe that ought to do it? Sigh…probably just...

Nice. Yeah I heard about those heater tees. The prior radiator was replaced 7,000 miles ago with new tees, so while I put in a toyota radiator to replace the prior dorman brand, I’m going to watch these current tees closely and replace them with oem ones I have as soon as I even think there’s a...

Hey y’all, Long time lurker, first time Land Cruiser owner. Looks like an introduction is recommended for a first timer, so here goes mine. Recently bought a 2007 Land Cruiser 100 with 275000 miles on it, and I got it at a discount because it needed so much work. The three previous owners kept...

Long time lurker and just bought my (first?) Cruiser. Seller reupholstered the seats with vinyl. They look alright but not as comfortable. Got any stone gray seats that would fit an 07 Land Cruiser? I wouldn’t need any media headrests.
