I know there is a great thread on front seat swaps, but has anyone swapped the rear seats out for bucket seats? If so, is there a bracket that can be purchased or was a custom bracket made? Any info wound be appreciated! I’m looking to improve family comfort for multi day trips.

264,000 miles here on a ‘96 LX450, original head gasket.. no signs of leaking

I finally got some time to mess with the rats nest of wiring and one of the ground wires came loose. Once I regrounded it (not sure if that’s a real word), all was good! All the lights work how they should now.

If anyone feels the need to dump their ABS system…since they are such garbage…you can DM me and I’ll pay to ship all those worthless parts to my house!

:cheers:! I had to take a break from working on the truck, it with the humidity, Google said it felt like 104…but it felt way hotter than that! Im about to get back at it and work on removing that rear camera, its pretty close to useless anyway. Ill replace it with a rear steel bumper!

Im new to Toyota, but damn, that makes a ton of since! It’s a great indicator!

It looks like the factory trailer harness has been bypassed and replaced with one up top…but I’m starting to think the short is upstream of the fuse because when I turn on the headlights, the TAIL fuse pops and the instrument panel and dash back lights go out. I’m not an electrical guy so this...

All these extra wires are the aftermarket rear camera tie in. The green wire end looks like it was twisted up with some other wire in this rat nest. The wiring at the Spots where they go to the tailgate and the wiper motor all look to be ok how do you go about checking conductivity at the...

I feel like this may be the problem area because its exposed to mud and weather, looks to be a factory wiring that has been tied into and the problem I’m having is that my rear tail night time running lights are not working when the fuse is blown. It looks like this exact junction is where the...

That’s where I got the EWD I have now, but I didn’t see the LX one in there…I’ll go back and check again.

I have a '96 LX450...every time I turn on the headlights, the 15A Tail fuse keeps blowing and it knocks out my dashboard lights and my night time tail running lights. My turn signals and break lights still work, but the running lights are out. Before I dive into trying to sort out the problem...

This is my damage in trying to fix. DM me a price for the parts and I’ll get a shipping estimate

1996 LX450, but I think the LC part will fit it
