I wish…

Not sure what area or decade you’re living in 🤣 In the Seattle area: $700 rock bottom at a shop that looked like a hoarder house in the industrial district. $2600 high end. PDR $600-900, plus then I have to paint. Materials alone are $200 for a...

Unless I find a local one in the same color and good condition, a refinished used one costs: $250-350 part $300-400 shipping $500-700 prep & paint Cheaper to repair.

Yep, and even the ones that say they do, sometimes don’t. The most reliable ways here Techstream or a manual code read/reset per the FSM. Note: an SRS reset won’t fix the ongoing problem that is causing it. The light will just come back if...

You can do a self diagnostic and possibly reset it. Search “SRS reset” here

Sounds like the water is going down the A-pillar? Not soaking into the headliner? That likely points away from the roof rack mounts, which are through-holes. As @Malleus suggested, you may need to pull your A-pillar trim and trace the leak...

Apologies for the x-post, but I figured some of you hundy-heads might have more direct experience with a tailgate ding: https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/100-series-tailgate-dent-repair.1367432/

How might I approach this: The hit spared the taillight, and I was able to push the dent out enough to seat the taillight securely. I’m not worried about the bumper but I’d like to get the sheet metal smoothed out. PDR guys don’t want...

Holy balls. I know you said you're in ID, so either that's not a local truck or you guys drive on pure salt. I'd expect to see that kinda rust coming out of Michigan. Is this your first Land Cruiser? I ask because you haven't stated any plans...

Sorry TM, still not sure what you’ve got there, but I appreciate you trying. Looks like that picture uses 4 of the same shape clip. I actually have 2 different shaped clips on my bracket, which is NAPA rebuilt. I think I figured it out: This is...

Is that the upper or lower part of the bracket?

So what is the right position?

My reinstalled and refreshed passenger side rear caliper. Note the notched clips facing up on the passenger side (on both the inner and outer pads)

This is the as-found clip orientation on the driver side. The bracket is oriented in the pictures same as on the vehicle. Note the clip with the notch is facing down (in the lower position on the bracket) on both the inside and the outside pad on...

Putting my rear brakes back together, cannot recall how the pad retainer clips go in. When I took them apart, the clips looked like this. Note the orientation of the one with the little notched piece indicated by the arrow. And this end...

I’m a little confused on the purchase path. You no longer have a storefront and you want each sale to be a conversation? No offense but you’re introducing friction into a process that should be a couple of clicks. Anyway I just want a handful of...

I live in the PNW and drive the mountain passes in the winter. You don’t need studded tires. Regular “3-peak” winter tires are fine, Blizzaks or similar are better, and you can keep a set of chains in the car to satisfy the State Patrol.

Should have been!

Oh ok. So it’s like shim-thickness steel?

Did a little mod to preserve that razor thin tailgate edge when transporting long things. Found some super-durable reinforced rubber edging. The upper tailgate weatherstrip seals against this when it’s all closed up. I bought more than I...

I don’t get this, doesn’t the sleeve increase the shaft OD? How does the seal still fit, and how is there not a leak between the shaft and the sleeve?

Follow-up: if I had to do it over, I’d probably use something closer to a true base coat silver with enough “tooth” to bond to the SprayMax clear. I noticed when I got the wheels back from the tire shop that the clear peeled a little on the lip...

Alternative to clear film protector?

💯 Mods are a whole additional set of variables.

List any mods done to help, things like mine below can be missed if unknown. I have a small squeak from my steel bumper contacting on the smallest piece of fender, but that is also why I have a radio 😂
