For an '04 and newer, that's the ticket. For older 100s, the Toyota World Standard (or comparable fluid) is not recommended.

There was none around me, but free shipping after $35 if you buy online, if there is any left. I bought 12 to last me a few years, lol.

Interesting we don't consider more European oils and lubricants. I use Pentosin in my '09 VW Rabbit, it's the only oil that doesn't burn off in that inline 5 engine. I use Pentosin coolant and oil in my Land Cruiser and the oil is noticeably cleaner at the change as well. I use Idemitsu in my...

So this ATF fluid is a full synthetic focused on replacing Dexron III which our older rigs use, but I never see anyone talk about/use this fluid. Is it a price issue?

Below is a picture of music group called Tinariwen. More importantly, I'm trying to find a paint code for the rims on this Land Cruiser. Can anyone help?

This club represents the Midlands. It's been a little quiet, but there are still members who meet up. Let me have some others chime in.

Well, the new pump and a new fuse and some dielectric grease got the Cruiser through a road trip to WV and back and then the fuse terminals gave up the ghost. Huge thanks to @medtro for his fix! I'm posting pictures so you can see the difference for coming off the battery instead of the fuse.

Well, the fuel pump was drawing over 10 amps and over 11 amps at times, which is double what I've seen for specs on a fuel pump, so I'm switching it out. Of course, I couldn't find a Denso and have to wire in a new connection. New Carter pump is drawing 8.4 amps, so we'll see what happens!

Good advice. Thank you. I had already ordered the fuel pump and it arrived today, so I’m going to test it first.

And I read the threads. And see what the problem is. And the three solutions. Fix the terminal in my box myself, buy the bypass kit, or buy a new box. Fun times in Land Cruiser ownership.

OK, I watched the fuse box fix video for fun and thought, "Let me see if my check engine light cycles." It didn't. So I checked the EFI fuse... and lo and behold, it was blown. Of course, I have no 20 amp mini fuses anywhere. So I am paused until tomorrow when I go renew my fuse supply. In the...

I've read the threads on the relay location and I'm confused. Rock Auto shows both a 5-blade relay and a 4-blade relay option. Advance Auto shows a 5-blade only. I have the 4-blade relay in my fuse box for the EFI, but I'm wondering if I also need the 5-blade relay and it's located somewhere...

There is a big price difference between these window regulators on PartSouq: P/N #84820-60110 - $445.07 and P/N #84820-60130 - $260.47 This video shows how to replace the switch, but you'll notice his original switch is the 110 and he replaces it with a 130. It seems that the auto-up feature on...

Thanks for sharing another option. And loaner tools are a lifesaver that's for sure!
