An off-center steering wheel is one of those little OCD things for me. If you have this problem, read on: 1) the following assumes you have a correct alignment and stock steering. If your truck is pulling to one side, wobbling, tramlining, or wearing tires oddly, correcting the steering wheel...

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 full repaint of the panel.

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 there’s a broken circuit or faulty sensor. Reset is...

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 upward. You're right to hesitate to just caulk it up...

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 this job since it needs a touch up, and body shop...

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 for how you'd use it, nor whether you first-hand...

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 the passenger side This is the lower end of the...

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 this side. On the passenger side, that clip is...
