Clean ALL of the big battery cable connections at both ends if you can get to them, and the large fuses at the positive terminal. I personally disassemble all the connections, clean ALL the contacts with an appropriately sized wire brush (I use a brass brush on a Dremel when I can), then clean...

So I checked the truck for codes and the only thing in the whole truck was a fault for an open sensor on the transfer case for 4WD, which I will test. I had something similar on the '01 Sequoia that I had and I just needed a new switch. The immobilizer shows no faults and I can communicate...

The immo/security light never lights. I have redone the door harnesses on the driver and right rear doors and inspected the other door and hatch when I redid the sound system and they looked OK. I never hear anything from the alarm. Courtesy lights work fine. It is like there is no immo or...

Perhaps my googling skills are lacking, but I haven't seen this issue. My '01 Land Cruiser starts and runs normally with the two keys that I have for it. The thing is, the immobilizer display never lights when I put the key in and the alarm doesn't work at all. The remote lock/unlock...

Still looking for the rear wiper linkage in the hatch. I don't need the motor. The stud the nut that attaches the arm to the linkage was snapped off at some point. I really just need the part the assembly that the arm attaches to.

One set of tan LX470 front seats. Covers not horrible, but not great. Backrests unbolted. Missing headrests, back panel and mounting brackets to floor (were cut off to fit to make brackets for other seats). Good motors, back frames, switches, trim, etc. Free if you pick up complete or I...

Thank you for the responses! Yes, the brackets and wiring are gone. The wires were cut where they came out of the door harness. At least they left the factory speaker adapters although the heads of the screws that they attached the speakers with were stripped. Whoever worked on the sound...

The google is not strong with me today, and I have not been able to find pictures or details here or elsewhere on how the stock tweeters were mounted in my '01 LC. Some previous owner of my LC replaced the speakers with some cheap Sony speakers, hacked up the wiring and removed the front...

Well, one thing lead to another on the interior. Over the last couple of weeks, I have removed the whole interior (minus headliner, which I will remove at some point), pressure washed the carpets, and cleaned EVERYTHING. There were some spots on the carpet where I am guessing someone spilled a...

I have found a bunch of unused connectors in the wiring harness on my 2001 LC all over, for AHC and it seems a bunch of other things as well. I am assuming there was just one wiring harness for the Land Cruisers and LX470s so connector just didn't get plugged in if it didn't have the option...

Where did it say that the oil pump was replaced? I saw an oil change along with the timing belt and water pump. The water pump is always a "while you are there" job when you do the timing belt.

Those do look great!. I would highly recommend putting on some PPF with good UV protection. My LC came with those headlights (not with projector modification) and they were terribly yellowed to the point I wondered if someone had tinted them. I had to sand and polish both the inside and...

When I got my '01 LC recently, I found that it had a set of the one piece (DEPO maybe?) headlights that were in poor shape. The lenses were so yellow, and evenly so, that I thought that someone had tinted them. They also had stress cracks, the internals were loose and the mounts were broken...

I bought a 2001 Sequoia with 245k miles a couple years ago as a "no run, no start". The previous owner couldn't figure it out and had bought a replacement ECU, replaced plugs and coils. No go. Hmmm. I towed it home and had it running in 45 minutes with a new fuel pump. To me, considering...

I don't buy the durability part. The cost and ease of manufacture I do get. I imagine the headers would help, and some long tubes even more.
