I took mine to a local shop in Tucson called The Toy Store. They did a much better job than I could have.

Original brake system? If not do you recall the mileage it failed at?

She doesn't like wash board roads, but what vehicle does?

Checked out the hub to rotor bolts this weekend and they are snug. But to my surprise, the adjustment nut on both Ds and Ps were finger tight! Thanks to the information provided by forum members here it was a simple correction. Not good. Fortunately I had a spare. Some visible scoring...

It certainly has. On the passenger side one of the hub bolts is staked. Hopefully this isn't because they stripped the hub. Sounds like half my Saturday is spoken for...

While rotating my tires I noticed that one of the hub to rotor bolts was not at an identical depth as the others. I marked it with a paint pen so when I address it this weekend I can see if it rotated. 99 LX, new rotors and bearings installed by a dealership approximately 7000 miles ago...

Filling my deer tag this weekend in southern Arizona.

How long did it take you to weld the bumper together? I'm seriously considering the Coastal.

There are plenty of threads about key fob replacement here, but if all you have is the Valet it will be tough. Keep us updated on your outcome with the diff leak. And toss picture of your ride in the photo thread so we can see what you're driving.

Have you called Dan's Toy shop in Tucson? They only service Toyota. They worked on my 99 Lx470's transfer case and can give you an accurate assessment of the work required.

I noticed a bolt missing from the front of the motor close to the timing belt cover on the drivers side. Any idea what the part number is? 1999 LX470, 211000 miles. Timing belt was changed at 187000 and I'm assuming that the shop lost the bolt and decided to strap the wires to the nearest...

My 99 had a very similar leak that flowed onto the front diff too. Turned out to be the front of the valve cover, right at the 90° corner. I pressure washed the area, replaced the valve cover gaskets and the leak hasn't returned. Do a search for valve cover leaks and see if the posted photos...

Sooo, are you going to tell us how you came across your LX? There's has to be a story behind such a low mileage 2001. Granny's garage?

Not the popular choice here but I went with Bosch pads and rotors for my rear brakes. Purchased back in September through Amazon for approximately $115 after tax. Cleaned and adjusted the hand brake, applied the anti squeal goo to the back of the pads and they've been effective and uneventful...

I've been driving my '99 LX470 a lot lately. It runs great, and the family enjoys going on adventures in it. When I say "a lot" it's subjective, and in this case maybe 700 miles in the last 3 weeks. Total mileage on the vehicle is 210200. Here in AZ the temps have touched 80 a few times...
