I’ve found the crack filler works best in spots that are not getting stretched. It’s holding up great on my center console, which was severely scuffed. Not so much on the seat bottoms. The dye requires meticulous prep to adhere. Wash, scrub...

Welcome, and check the FAQ. This is like asking, “whats the best sandwich?” If search here fails you, do a Google or ChatGPT search narrowing down to this forum. Miles of threads on this topic, no simple answer.

Generally not a huge fan of big graphics on these trucks, but yours slap! Never seen that one. Welcome!

You gave me the idea to look at the hood. Beats crawling under the truck for sure. Fixed it in my clean clothes!

Solved. It was the hood latch safety. The “heel” of the latch was rubbing back and forth against its stop, like a tiny violin. I put a little length of shrink tube on both parts that touch, sound gone. I guess hood was moving up and down...

Can confirm that the center tower bolts are the weakest point of the OE rack design. They sit in a little well that fills up with water, so the torx bolt heads sit immersed most of the time. There should be a better drainage means in that well...

Good point. I have not actually checked whether my 99’s frame crossmember has a 2” square through-hole. That would be a non-starter for a bumper-mounted solution.

I have an 04 Land Cruiser that has the bolt holes in the frame member, but not the hole for the receiver, like the LX. I research this a couple years ago and bought an FJ 40 receiver from Cool Cruisers and bolted it in, because I needed something...

Good feedback here. Sounds like the under-bumper receiver may have an advantage

On mine, the threaded holes are M14x1.5. Use grade 10.9 hardware.

Driving me crazy. It’s a quiet “chirp” sound, seems to be at the driver side front. Too quiet to record, too loud to ignore - not rotational - not rhythmic - same sound at low or higher speeds. Above 45mph, engine and wind noise drown it out -...

I recently removed my Curt class III/IV 2” receiver. It’s super stout, but 1) I rarely tow anything, 2) it hangs low enough to scrape on some departures. I also wanted dedicated rear recovery points, and the Curt’s design does not allow that. I...

Yeah the bolts are unobtanium but a correct install depends on them.

I’m not sure the factory rack was Toyota. I’ve never seen it in the parts diagrams, has anyone else? I thought I remember reading that it was a port-installed option that was ticked for 99% of North America but not for all of Global?

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...
