Ended up doing just the radiator + hoses, will come back to the timing belt. Had to get the job finished in time for a trip, and having never done a TB on this engine, wanted plenty of time. I can now see how it would be easier (but not required)...

I'm experiencing similar, just posted about it in ANOTHER thread on the exact same topic. As @OEMGUY0720 suggests above, summer exposes this issue. I'm not an expert on the topic, but @2001LC 's thread on it is a great place to start. What I...

I think I have one that I took off when installing an ARB bumper. If you are still looking, I'll check to see if I still have it. It's from an 2002 LX470 but should be the same.

Half an inch in Freedom Units

Hey, thanks! If the fittings look good I will take them! PM incoming... Thanks a ton! Sounds like Jack above has me covered but maybe I could talk you into pulling the fittings out before tossing the radiator, if not for my use, at least to keep...

How thick is the steel on the Ironman points?

I have a just-replaced OEM rad that I’m about to toss. Fittings look good. LMK if I can help, trash goes out Thursday AM.

First, never let people like that anywhere near your vehicle. Quick change oil, mobile detailing, mobile keys, windshield repair in a parking lot tent… but you know this already. :deadhorse: Second, don’t give up so easily chasing them down. You...

Resurfacing this thread. I’m still trying to source one of these “raptor claw” OE tow hooks, in case anyone has one available. They’re fairly rare apparently and like >$200 new. I’m 90% sure that aftermarket recovery points won’t work with a...

1. I’m no mathematical genius, but 7,800 [checks his notes] is more than 6,500. I don’t think the weight limit is a suggestion. 2. If you’re asking “has anyone attempted it,” I guarantee the answer is yes. While someone held their beer, even...

That’s a beauty. Cherry on the sundae would be a clean Carfax. Bundle that with your black stone report and some service records, and you’ve got a seller’s trifecta. Check classic.com for an auction market analysis, that will help you with...

Perfectly timed thread! Watching. Yesterday I did a 40 mile offroad drive with a nearly full tank. - 85-95F ambient - high elevation - mostly slow technical driving with a lot of bouncing around - no CEL, overheating, or other issues the whole...

what’s the year of the Tundra and the part number you confirmed fit the Land Cruiser? When I search the part number on the unit in your pic, it shows as NLA and out of stock at rock

Like they say: “where there’s a rule, there’s a Land Cruiser owner willing to break it and then post a write-up.” 🤣

That’s pretty elegant. I think you can get the same result by replacing the tees with straight connectors. In that case, I think you actually can use the barbed brass fitting from a hardware store, since IIRC it’s the 3rd, smaller tube that...

That’s a great spot for a MOLLE first aid kit or things that go pew-pew (if that’s your thing). Nice work! Where else can MOLLE platforms go? I’ve seen them as seatback mesh replacements, but laser-cut Cordura would probably work best. Wait a...

Yeah well it’s definitely jammed. PB Blaster won’t stay put horizontally so I grabbed some foam rubber pipe insulation and made a couple of “cozies” for them to marinate in. Hopefully that’s working smart, not hard.

By the way, that page from the FSM has a handy way of converting steering wheel angle into # of turns of tie rod adjustment. tl:dr 1 full turn of the tie rod adjustment screw = 12° of steering wheel angle.

The Steering section of the FSM suggests that toe in/out is the way to adjust an off-kilter steering wheel when re-splining won’t. I’ve done that with other cars, so no big deal, but how the hell do you get this jam nut (in blue) loosen? Are...

No master spline on mine.

Splines are 10° apart, per the FSM. Wheel is off by about 3-4°. Jumping over by one puts it at about the same angle, but opposite from center.

Hmm, so your original dimmer was burned out, the used replacement you bought also burned out on first use, the evidence for which was scorched mosfet. You concluded mosfets on both dimmers were bad, soldered in new ones, and the problem stopped...

The best I can scrape together is that the issue is in the loaded/unloaded suspension. Possibly, if you remove in one state and reinstall in another, it “recenters” the linkage to the steering rack by a couple degrees. Only way to correct is with...

Confirming that this 100% DIY-able on an early LC, just did it twice, have not personally done a later one. 3 options: Techstream, an airbag capable ODB2 scanner, or special service tool (aka paper clip) in the diagnostic port located on the...
