Thanks again. I found dealerships that have them in stock from $70 to $120. I will order a new one from them. In the mean time, I took the broken switch apart and was able to repack the spring. It was a lot of work since the switch is integrated into the shifter assembly and plugs under the...

Thank you. I saw the new part, but cheap'ed out and went for the used one. Lesson learned! It also sounds like CruiserParts is an outfit to be avoided in the future. It was my first purchase from them!

I have a 1997 80 with an over-drive switch on the shifter which stays in or out each time it is pushed. It is broken and does not stay in anymore. I ordered one from CruiserParts which they said came from an 80 but the button does not stay down. It seem to be designed to be a momentary type...

I have the same question about RetroSound S-62. I appreciate all the comments and feedbacks about using other brands/models and the merits of keeping or tossing the OEM grill. But the question I have is if anybody has used the RetroSound speakers and how the installation went?

This may be of use... Another tail tail sign for me was gas drippings from a full tank. After dropping the tank, I noticed a very small crack on the top side of the tank where three different surfaces meet. My theory is that this crack was cause by repeated cycles of buckling of the tank...

I took a nail, and bent it, then heated it with a torch and pushed it into the mirror motor assembly, then covered it with a JB weld, then filed off the JB weld and opened a hole to match the old loop. See photos.

Fix for rattling mirror. 1997 FJ80

Update on the rear door speakers. I found Kenwood KFC-10655 fit "almost" perfectly. They are about 1 mm deeper so do not quite sit in the housing good enough for the screen covers to snap in. Since they do not have a place for the housing to screw in, I just used a few drops of glue. They...

This may be useful to some. I have been searching for replacement speakers for my 97 LX-450. Not a trivial task. For the front door, I used Rockford Fosgate P16 "punch". They are the shallowest that I could find, and they do fit with just a little modification. I only had to remove the...

I second that. I too bought a used original canister from eBay and it turned out to be clogged up, just like my old one. I used the same alternative, although the one I bought is made by AD Delco. It was used in some 90's model GM V8 engines. It works great, no more pressure in the fuel tank.

Following the suggestions made here, I replaced my canister with the Delco version. It worked just fine and I no longer have pressure in the system, nor a "hissing" sound when I unscrew the gas cap. Instead of nylon ties however, I suggest using a long bolt and a nut. Thanks for all the posts...

Greetings! I purchased a new ARB from BumperOnly in TX. The receiver on the bumper was shaped like a trapezoid and would not fit. Their customer service was VERY good, and shipped me a new one. The second one has a problem similar to what is described above, about 1/8th of an inch too short...

I figured it out. I was looking in the wrong area. The LED is the red LED near other buttons.

I also need to setup a new remote that I purchased through the internet. I found the security unit under the driver seat and found the small green button. Following the instructions that I found on here, I put the master key to "ON" position, pushed the green button and held it for a long...

I just wanted to add another data point. I have a 97 LX450 and needed additional keys. My only key was pretty worn out with rounded groves. I purchased an OEM Lexus key blank on eBay. Then called around and found a locksmith that has the laser key cutter. He was able to make a new "master"...
