@nissanh Yes, you can use Axle Bearing Tool on your 3rd gen and 100 Series but you do have to purchase the additional Bearing Installer Tool. I updated my original post to reflect this and also included the link. @abuck99 Thanks for the heads up, I included links to both products I bought from...

1st Photo: I ordered the kit from Cruiser Outfitters, bought a 20-ton press along with all necessary tools and accessories on Ebay from Duane, aka donald-the-bonald and set out to rebuild the DS rear axle and now I'm having this same issue with mine. Do we know how, or why, this happens? I was...

Has anyone found any videos or write ups to help in this process? My Wife's rear window sounds like it's about to come out on it's own when you shut the back hatch and the outer seal around it was not pushed in very far when we bought it. So much so that on the upper left corner around the...

Got it all worked out, looking forward to test driving tomorrow. The only problem I have now is figuring out whether or not my torque wrench is worth a dang on anything over 110 ft lbs. For what it’s worth I used a hacksaw, and a cheap set of cold point chisels from Walmart plus a stubby 3lb...

Has anybody had trouble getting clearance reinstalling the two bolts on top of the DS diff support? I had a hard time getting to the nuts on the topside of the arm to stop them from spinning, mainly the uppermost nut and bolt, during the removal process prior to installing Superpro Poly bushing...

Yep, having issues myself. I was driving home the other day, in the rain, with the sunroof closed but screen pulled back when I came up on some traffic. As I applied the brakes and slowed to a stop I suddenly felt water dripping on the top of my head. Pita. Also dealing with intermittent water...

Same here, just got a 2000 LX470 for my wife. She/we love it. She really enjoys driving it when I'm not "test driving" it in order to check my work. She'll get it back when I'm done. We're in Weatherford and will try to make it to the next one.

Looks like I better get one. I think I'm going to be needing one soon, maybe not, but this seems like an "I'd rather have it and not need it then need it and not have it kind of tool". Please send PM with payment info.

Thank you, sir. I'm gonna stop at the first parts store I can find on my way home. Don't wanna ruin a good battery or alternator because one of the two, hopefully not both, is bad.

Well I went to get some leather conditioner for the rear seats, the fronts must've been covered recently with vinyl but its surprisingly comfortable, and I hopped back in, fired it up and bam... Battery/Voltage light is on and was on most of the way back to the office. Another rabbit hole...

I'm happy to report that I made it in to work this morning without issue, even had a little traffic to content with. The check engine light actually came on when I test drove it and we put the PO's scanner on it and it showed the code for the front passenger o2 sensor which is supposed to be...

Thanks for the help, fellars! Just for sport I threw in a new air filter, cleaned the MAF sensor, didn’t have time to pull/clean the throttle body tonight but will tomorrow, and then plugged the suspect ground back in. After that I went ahead and drove the exact same drive as this morning to try...

I saw that, I was hoping someone might know what it was for, if maybe it was related to the problems I had this morning or if it was unplugged for a reason. I’ve been a Toyota guy for a while but this is the first time I’ve had my hands on one of these beautiful machines, my wife took some...

@saucebox Thank you, these are what I was referring to. I should’ve circled them

I started having my wife’s 2000 LX cut out on the highway this morning and wanted to dig in when I got home. Took the cover off and found this? I don’t have a clue what this ground goes to so I couldn’t search for anything specific. I also have no clue if this is at all related so I thought I’d...
