01LXNY - Did you ever get your antenna fixed? If not, here's some input. Mine had your same symptons - motor not connected to the antenna mast anymore. What's wrong? Coming out the bottom of the antenna mast is a 2-foot plastic cable that gets wound up by the antenna motor. On mine, the plastic...

On an '01 LC, there are LATCH anchors in the second row of seats for the middle and driver's side positions only. The position behind the passenger seat is a "seat belt install" only. The 3rd row seats are seat belt install only for child seats. Yes, in the second row, middle seat, the thing...

Still for sale??? Sent PM, looking for reply.

Al / Dtrux - If you are scrounging for a "fixed" amp, look for an '01 LC made after May, 2001. A 2002 should have a good amp too. Here's a previous discussion on the amp issue: https://forum.ih8mud.com/showthread.php?t=134523 My post references the aplicable VIN numbers that were listed on the...

I'd be interested in the tires, but don't need the rims. If you find a buyer for the rims and are interested in separating them, that'd be great. However, I would need them shipped. I don't live close enough to pick them up.

On some 4wd vehicles, it depends on how the gears are driven and how the gear lube is circulated. Normally, the engine is driving the gears. Flat towing, the rotating tires are driving the gears. I don't know the LC reasons, but I would hate to risk anything... If you really had to flat tow the...

Jim_Chow and 9toys - Having a pump would certainly make things go a little quicker on the filling. It's good to include these comments to give other MUD folks ideas/shortcuts. For me, I don't go through enough gear lube to buy it in multi-gallon containers. When I change it again (in 30k) I'll...

As for gear lube, I bought 7 1-quart bottles of Mobil1 synthetic 75W-90. You'll have maybe a half quart left over. The diff and t-case fluids are spec'd a little different, but the 75W-90 basically covers them all. I did not get the Mobil version with the LS additive (in case you checked Mobil's...

If it's any consolation, my t-case fill plug had the crush washer - and no leaks. Seems odd to have the 2 styles of washers on the same vehicle. The plugs and threads of the diffs and t-case are almost interchangeable. They are all vented to the atmosphere (no high pressure fluid). The gear...

My wife and I went through many of the same decisions picking our 2001 - and compared to similar vehicles you listed. We've got 2 toddlers, a camper to pull, are planning a driving trip to Alaska, and haven't been wheeling since having kids. Here were some of our comparision points: Does built...

Alright, thanks for your feedback. I checked with 3 different dealers (including CDan's) and the answer is: the front and rear diffs get the crush washer for both the drain and fill plugs. The transfer case is different - it gets the thick flat aluminum washer on the drain and fill plugs. I've...

A question for those that have changed the differential and transfer case fluids themselves... I want to confirm the correct washers to use. From buying the parts at the local Toyota dealer, I was lead to believe the crush washers were for the front and rear differentials, both the drain and...

I have experience with the BFG AT (KO and pre-KO), the MT, and Bridgestone Duelers (non-Revo). If you are looking for a street tire, daily driver, I'd pick the Revos. The MT (by BFG) or MT/R (by Goodyear) are awesome tires off-road. Tradeoff: more road noise/hum and reduced fuel mileage (figure...

Tsb Au001-01 For those that are still wondering... I had downloaded the TSB from the Toyo techinfo site. Here are some of the particulars: Title: Excessive Bass (boomy bass, JBL amplifier) Models: '01 Land Cruiser Introduction: A new JBL amplifier has been designed for the 2001 model year...
