Ha, will let you know if I am curious enough to partake…one day!

silly question - after remote starting the car, how do i enter the vehicle without turning off the engine when door is opened?

Thanks for the share! It definitely looks to be quite an undertaking to take this apart without damaging the plastic parts.

Hello all, I am not sure if anyone has encountered this issue and found a solution. So, I have a gap on my passenger side mirror (2016 LC200). I can jam the gap together but am concerned it may break other parts, negating any possible and resulting in a full mirror replacement. I have already...

I am also in the same boat by accidentally stripping the front differential fill hole (thank goodness it wasn't the drain). My buddy says the rubber expansion, while not a long term or permanent solution, will last for quite a long time. You'd just need to inspect it every few oil change, and if...

It's interesting the belt is made in Italy while the idler/tensioner pulley is made in the US. So, for those who care about Japan made, this kit is not. Let's see how good of a quality it is. :)

I just purchased this Dayco kit from Advanced Auto Part. It's super convenient and slightly more cost effective than buying the OEMs from the Toyota dealership (I know Dayco is an OEM supplier for the tensioner and idle pulley, not sure about the belt). Anyone used this for their land cruiser? I...

I got super lucky when I went under to check the front drive shaft. There it was. Two spider yoke zerks staring at me with enough space to use the locknlube attachment. I didn't even have to lift one wheel and put the car into neutral. I think I should play the lottery with this kinda luck...

Thanks for the advices! Will give this a try now that the car is on the ground.

I had the wheels taken off at some point to clean it before doing a rotation. I kind of gave up trying to move the front shaft. Will do it another time when I can find the inspiration again. :)

I actually had the car on all 4 jack stands. Still couldn't rotate the front drive shaft manually. One rookie mistake in the process was leaving the car accessory mode ON to shift the transmission from 'P' to 'N'. Needless to say, it drained my entire brand new battery. Had to take to advance...

Yes, the front shaft just did not spin even on neutral. I could not spin the wheel as I had them off for cleaning and rust protection around the spoke...i'll have to do this again as the zerk fitting is driving me....bezerk :)

Let me check tomorrow and get back. Appreciate your feedback on this!

My hand brake is in off but will put it to ON later. Thanks for the advice!

Yes to all the above, maybe except for t case lock. How do I know if my t case is locked? And if so, how do I unlock it?
