Sorry for the photo dump. It takes me a while to get around to this stuff. Shot of the LX up in Cherokee, NC at a campground. 3 hour drive felt great! Interior leds in warm white. I can't remember offhand where I bought them from. I do remember the rear cargo light that I got was 31mm...

Company van stuck stuck after the snowfall earlier this year in NC. But hey, perfect excuse to get a tow strap and a soft shackle. Low range and Atrac pulled it right out of there.

I had the same problem. My solution was to get underneath the vehicle, find the cdl switch on top of the transfer case, take it apart, clean it and put it back together. Bingo bango, problem solved for zero dollars. I was going to replace it. But when I took it apart, I found the electrical...

I found this really interesting. Not only all the steps needed to replace the sunroof but how everything works. And, as always, it leads me to ask more questions. Have many people had this same problem? What are the ways to prevent such a catastrophic failure? Is it necessary to completely...

Hey! I finally remembered to take a picture.

Hmmmm....if dropping it helped, maybe try this. lol

Yes! That's what I was looking for but couldn't find at the time. I know I have a can somewhere. I'll probably find it when I'm NOT looking for it. lol

With my 07 LX, the light wouldn't come on but I could definitely tell the diff locked when I pushed the button. I took the sensor out and noticed that the electrical connector was dirty. So instead of replacing, I just cleaned everything with MAF cleaner, put it all back together and the light...

Your gut is right. 24k is way too high. I just bought an 07 LX470 w/188k from Tennessee. No rust. No accidents. Great maintenance record including a new starter and a new steering column motor recently replaced. I also saw the timing belt and water pump sticker were done recently as well as some...

I ended up buying globes from an Ebay seller named seagulls japan. They were at my door in under 2 weeks and very well packaged. I, however, was not prepared for the mind bending torture of lining up the threads. The first one had me skirting the edges of my own sanity for about a half hour. The...

I recently got this. Dell Latitude E6440 14-inch Laptop - Intel Core i5 4310M 4th Gen 8GB - 256GB SSD DVD-RW Windows 10 Pro (Renewed) and this VCI J2534 Cable Fit for Toyota TIS Techstream - Latest Version V17.00.020, Firmware V1.4.8, OBD2 to USB Diagnostic Cable, Support Win XP WIN7 WIN10...

Just flushed and filled the AHC. I'm getting 7 gradations. The raising and lowering is responsive, doesn't hesitate and operates well. But the ride is still lacking. I can feel every little imperfection in the road. Just knowing that it can be better is driving me nuts, lol. So I ordered a cheap...

The plastic tabs on the back of the trim broke in 3 places. The 2 screws and a clip retainer. I was able to fix the 2 screw tabs but couldn't quite get the clip retainer to hold. I used a mix of baking soda, graphite and crazy glue. For the glue, I would recommend the thinnest you can get. I had...

He's a former Green Beret, served 18 years and now owns his own company. Been through the grinder and was lucky enough to come out, mostly, in one piece. But I didn't understand a few things he did for his build. Like the air filter, the entertainment center and especially the heads. It's good...

9,000 for heads? I don't quite understand what was done when he talked about it. Can someone elaborate for me what might have been involved and why is it so much? Also, how likely is it that the average 100 series will need this done. Cuz if it happens to me, I'm done for. lol
