Is it doing it every time? Mine started with weak starts about two years prior to it fully failing, and started with the mis-mesh noises about six months prior to it fully failing. I'd fix it sooner rather than later if I were you so you don't end up stranded
I got to see firsthand just how badly I need to clean stuff up under my hood... while replacing a starter in a parking lot as snow was starting to come down. Classic Colorado move.
I'd say it was a little overdue though...
Coming eventually, OME 2866 from @savirc and a set of Bilsteins, but for now... gotta prep this thing to race on Sunday, and towing it down with the 100
Interesting timing on this thread... I just picked up a set of these to throw in when I lift my 100 hopefully in the near future, sorry for the delay in chiming in @COLandCrusher

Well crap. Wonder what they'd quote me for it vs new OEM price... Did they give you a "core refund" for sending it to them? I'm not sure if mine is original or not, unfortunately I got very limited service records (aka none) even though I bought it from the original owners.
I'll definitely bug...
I was about to leave on a ~3000 mile road trip and half my ignition coils were old and cracked/split. Swapped in the cheap ones to give them a solid test run and see if they were even worth the little they cost. I actually picked up a full set of OEM ones that I’ll be putting in when I do the...
The headers are still looking great sitting in the box they arrived in... Haha. I missed the window of opportunity before my trip to VA, and my plan has changed to doing it after winter along with the other stuff. I'll take the Land Cruiser off the road and should be able to daily other vehicles...
