I’m wondering what the OP means by “cap.”

Cover them with black duct tape to keep debris out, or spring for the little plastic fillers pieces from Uncle T.

Still not really following the issue with the rack, but the trim strip that covers the rain gutter is not a water seal. Water that gets under the trim just flows out the back. Think of it as a controlled leak. The water intrusion seal happens at...

Unclear what the problem is, other than “replacement parts do not line up.” Be more specific?

For those of you doing a cooler like flush vs a diluted flush, I math’d it: COOLER LINE Pro: flushes >95% of the ATF in one go Con: requires understanding of hose routing, risk of running dry, messy. Cost: ~$75-$100 (12 qt + drain gasket)...

👍🏻

Sharing an old thread I posted on this. Go to post #36. I wish this discussion had been around when I was dealing with my FLs. I think the Toyota design is unnecessarily bulky, so I set about simplifying it. IIRC there are 5 FLs using 3...

Those are squiggles of aluminum foil, literally. Breathe on them and they bend. Cut a rectangle of cardboard to protect the engine-facing side during installation (but remove before attaching the shroud)

10mm wrench, M6 thread on mine. Square head bolt if you don’t want it to spin in place.

There's confusion around this. I can't find a thread here that concretely resolves it. My ‘99 manual says Dex3 So do the 2000, 2001 MYs, according to the manuals you can view on TIS. Starting in the 2002 MY, you see this: So, around 2002...

I have 12 fresh quarts of Toyota T-IV waiting to go in, but I can’t seem to find a definitive how-to with good pics/video of how to perform a DIY flush on an early 100 (with trans dipstick). Feels like this should be in the FAQ? I’ve found some...

Resale value is based on supply and demand, not on what you’ve invested. That’s a good list but don’t assume you can earn back routine maintenance. That’s like extra credit just for doing your homework. Upgrades might be worth a little bit for...

Agreed. I think I got my $60 worth for a quick fix, but this is like applying makeup, not really a repair. The center armrest, which was abraded, is actually holding up nicely, but it does not get a lot of wear. The seats get stretched and...

🤤

Oh, that’s a nice low cost solution that keeps the rails but improves on the s***ty crossbars! Looks like $35 a pair, so a triple crossbar setup with 1x2 black aluminum T-rail and hardware gets me right near my $300 budget. Now if @nakman can...

Not offhand but the large front ones are ~$200 last time I checked. I doubt it will be cheap. This one looks like mine, might want to verify the holes with the seller. Also, totally jealous of your diesel Hilux! Forbidden fruit here.

This is a nice alternative DIY approach. It does require stripping down to the bare roof, but if the pricing hasn’t crept up too much, might get me to my goal. Interested in more ideas like this.

Quick feeler since I’m certainly not the first to think of this: I want to be able to use channel strut (aka Super Strut or Unistrut) with the stock roof rack rails. This stuff: Why? - The factory rails are decent but the cross bars are...

AFIK the sunroof drains into the lower rocker panels and the hose is a much bigger diameter. At least, that’s where water drips out when I test the drains. I do like the evap system hose theory, though. I’ve actually been having some...

The PO was not the modification type, he owned it for 23 years and went to the dealership for anything more complex than changing the wiper blades. Truck was 100% stock when I got it, so I believe this is a factory hose.

Never had air bags AFAIK

Not positive, but they appear the same material and diameter and the ends reach each other. Different breaks, though.

Where are we? Drivers side (US) rear corner, behind the wheel, looking up. Small hose, about 3-4mm diameter, seems have been clipped to the frame, now broken. What is it? Importance?

This. The OEM has a long and a short side, not sure about the Gates though. Measure first, cut second.
