Just thinking out loud here but without a metal lathe I feel like it'd be easier to hit the backing plate with a flap disk to knock that down rather than modifying the rotor. I didn't have time last night to pop the tire and rotor off but will try and look at it tonight. It should be pretty...

You don't know how much needs to be shaved off do you? The muffler place I dropped it at at 8 this morning didn't have time to do anything on it which is ridiculous. It's supposed to be a first come deal and they opened at 8. Anyway, so still loud exhaust and they didn't look at the brakes so...

So I replaced my rotors and calipers after the driver rear seized and had damage. I got it put together and did a little around the block run and something is dragging. I thought it might be my parking brake (which has been seized as well...meh) so I fiddled with it then just removed it to...

I just replaced my rear rotors/calipers (2007 LX) after having one seize up and make a mess while pulling out of my neighborhood. Next step is to bleed the brakes and I'm wondering is you guys use Toyota dot 3 fluid or something off the shelf. (I read here earlier @2001LC flushed 2 gallons...

I didn't apply my carpet directly to the drawer tops. I have some tie down track so I used additional plywood between the track to bring the height up and provide a flat working height. My carpet still is great. Its looking a little dirty from spilled drinks and just general grime that gets...

I bought a commuter a few months ago to try and alleviate some wear and tear on the LX and it seems there is some enmity for this decision. I got the P0418 and P2445 Monday while driving the neighborhood making some quick deliveries with the associated limp mode. I cleared the codes and drove...

Do you offe any of these in lulzbot green?

Does anyone have any tips on draining the fluid so as to make the least amount of mess as possible? I expect to get covered but I'd still like to try and manage it best as I can.

@slacker24-7 Did you just attach your heat shield with self tapping screws? I'm going add a shield before spending the coin on a fuel pump. I shut off a couple times last week but its been par for the 3 or 4 years I've owned my LX.

I did two fuse blocks. One under the hood then another piggybacked off that one to the back of the rig. Cab mounted block is under the wing of my rear drawers. Fact is I have accessories under the hood I wanted to connect to power AND accessories inside the cab as well and I didn't want to...

@8lifgr8 has your rig shut off yet while venting fuel out the cap? Thats the next feature to experience. For me its always come hand in hand. Last thursday I was ripping up i80 to Evanston WY from SLC and took the Coalville exit and my LX shut off while coasting down the ramp. I pulled into a...

I had my Yaesu FTM400 in my center console with the CD changer removed but decided I wanted that so now it sits in the back drawers until I'm ready to plug in then it sits on the passenger front floor. My wife doesn't wheel and my boy is in a car seat still so its not a bother to anyone. I...

@TOMMY76 Did the after market switch work for you? My driver front window is buzzing when I push the button in any direction. I took the panel apart and I believe its the relay that is buzzing. I can open the 3 other windows just fine with the master switch as well as at the individual...

I installed my rears last week and finally did my fronts last night. I've got an LX and Trail Tailor sliders and needing to pull the sliders to access those screws. (I had been meaning to pull them all last summer anyway to get the powder coated since I had just rattle canned them so it wasn't...

sorry, servers are struggling this morning.
