    Sunroof disassembly

    Wilsil- Just a suggestion: Get a new one. Don't mess with it. I tried just about everything to get the old cables free with zero luck. Heat, beat and pulled them, even in frustration cut some of the tubes and nothing worked. I think Mr. Toy figured out how to manufacture lubricant that freezes...

    Sunroof disassembly

    I did this last Fall. It took around one week to get it done and luckily it's Phoenix so rain wasn't an issue (I'm retired with an empty social calendar). I bought the cable guide case and the left and right drive cable assemblies. I carefully disassembled the motor and cleaned and...

    Tree Fell on my 04 100 series. What would you do?

    Take the money and run- you don't want to mess with a rebuild. Just my $.02 but I've done that before and it was a hassle.

    Mileage on daily driver

    336,xxx miles on my daily driver. It travels across country in the Spring and Fall to and from Massachusetts and doesn't use oil between changes!.

    Hot Rod Upholstery seat covers

    Just finished installing a new seat cover on my driver's seat bottom. Got it from Hot Rod Upholstery in Virginia. Fits perfect and looks great! I'm very pleased everything was exactly as Ed, the owner promised. It's an exact copy of my original except it's not worn out. I'm not a pro installing...

    Slow Drip in Sun Roof (Not Drainage)

    Mine had been leaking forever and finally jammed part open where it wouldn't open or close. I had to buy new cables and the brass tubing (over $1000, old was impossible to free up), and take apart and clean the motor, re-sync it, etc. and of course drop the headliner. In all a real pain. When I...

    '99 100 series no heat

    Rear heat works I normally run with that on so the interior isn't too cold (it's chilly here in Phoenix). The servo is now exposed (but not reachable as it's sandwiched between the cowl side and the fan box. It's to the right side of the fan box) and I can see that it's not moving when heat is...

    '99 100 series no heat

    Got my sunroof and driver's door window fixed and trying to figure out why I can't get any heat. The blower works fine, a/c works great but no heat comes out when the temp is turned up. I first noticed this late Spring this year on the annual trek from Phoenix to Massachusetts. My first thought...

    Massachusetts Land Cruisers Rust

    Hamachi- What condition is the sheet metal of the body? White13 has the right idea. Unless the body is rotted away you might be OK. FxFormat's would probably be better of course unless it's a junker. Depending on the price and mechanical condition. Ned

    Massachusetts Land Cruisers Rust

    I recently sold my 80 that I owned for almost 20 years. Bought it in Massachusetts in 2003 and it lived all around the country (traveled a lot for work). It now lives around the corner from me in Phoenix and has no rot and some small bits of surface rust on the axles, etc. None on the body. A...

    Decision Time - New Engine or Sell?

    I've known Tedd at Cruiser Solutions for almost 30 years and he's a square shooter. You can trust what he says. He built my brother's 40 and has done work for me. If it were e I might get a used engine from Cruiser Parts (also in NH and I think are good guys too) and have Tedd change out your...

    Slow Drip in Sun Roof (Not Drainage)

    I just finished repairing the jammed sunroof on my '99 LC and tested it for leaks at the car wash. Zero. The seals are original. Spent some serious time on the job (time consuming and 4-5 bananas) and ensured that it was properly adjusted. Maybe yours needs adjustment too? Just sayin'. Ned

    How To: Stuck Sunroof Repair

    Dack- Since I couldn't get the frozen cable out of the copper cable guide tube cases I had to completely dismantle the entire assembly on each side of the sunroof frame and pulled the cables and tubing out from the front. It was a pain and I tried to be careful. I did one side and left the...

    Synchronizing sunroof motor

    I'm in the final (I hope) stages of fixing my sunroof. Got it all apart and now back together but can't get it to operate properly. I had to take the motor apart to recalibrate it and clean it up and now I'm trying to figure out how to recalibrate/synchronize it? Took the top off of it and found...

    How To: Stuck Sunroof Repair

    Just in the process of doing mine, but I'm having a problem with the motor. It works but was gummed up so I had to disassemble it to clean it out and now I'm having trouble getting it properly reassembled. I've lined up the arrows on the two moving plates inside of it with the arrow on the outer...
