Also, something I admit I've taken for granted, but I'm so impressed that Toyota still manufactures the brake lines on a 25 yr old platform and my indie was able to get the complete set in 2 days.
Well, I may have gotten lucky. My indie found a couple brake lines had corroded leading to loss of brake fluid that set off the ABS BRAKE alarm. Given the age of the vehicle, I decided to bite the bullet and replace all the brake lines. He bled it with techstream and the booster/mc seems OK...
What tools are required to bleed properly? Can it be done the old school way - one guy pumps the pedal while another bleeds air out the nipple at each corner?
This just happened to me last night. '03 with 210K miles. Started the LC and noticed BRAKE light warning on in bottom right of the dash. Thought it was the hand brake. Drove about 8 miles and ABS, VSC, lights turn on accompanied by a high pitched alarm. Pulled into a parking lot and shut...
Well I never said anything about Joe Above Average lol. If you're on this forum, you're not the target market I'm talking about.
Interesting that the poll is at 55/45 Round to Rectangular. Didn't think it would be that close. Looks like Toyota has done a good job attracting both groups.
^ OP said he's looking at '03-'07 which are all 5 speed and NAV. '03 lacks rear view cam, but is last year of trans dip stick making tranny fluid change easy and no AHC (LC). '04-'05 essentially same w/ rear view cam, but sealed trans, no AHC (LC). '06-'07 VVTi with AHC (99%), have some well...
If they salt the roads where you live, I would buy the '04 or at least budget to replace the AHC with stock suspension. If both rigs are non-rusty and they don't salt the roads where you live, then I would buy whichever one is in better overall condition.
Only made it to one HIH (HIH7) before it was gone, but IRL this community is every bit as good as what you find here on the forum. That's a rarity. Great people from all walks of life.
Heading down Black Bear in the fog - some real pucker factor :D
As I said in one of my earlier posts, I will def miss the V8 sound in my 100. The sound of the 2.4L is so disappointing. Guess that's the price we have to pay to go from 13mpg to 27mpg.
Thanks - helpful to see them side by side. Is the rendering with round lights showing DRL's or is that the actual low beam? The rendering is moving me towards the round light design even though I started liking the rectangular more.
Got rear ended by a young girl texting in a Highlander couple years ago. I was going about 10mph and she was doing about 50mph. Her car was totaled and my bumper was scratched. Cop walked up and asked me where the vehicle went that she hit? When I told him it was me, he said he was going to...
