This is the one that is keeping the emissions center from completing the inspection. Catalyst Monitor 2 = Incomplete I dug around and found drive cycle guidance. Will try each of those listed to see if that works.

I'm having a heck of a time getting my LC100 ready for an emissions inspection. I've seen a few threads on this in the past and have dealt with this issue before when my battery was disconnected a few years ago, but this time it's been more challenging. The initial inspection came back with...

Hey, all. This forum has been a great source of inspiration the last several years. Sadly, I must go. After putting time and $$$ into my '02 Cruiser, I need to sell it and move on. I'm moving in late fall and need to let almost everything I have in Utah go. I'm hoping between the...

Thanks for the replies. Great insight.

So I'm installing airbags to help with sag while towing a camper. The airbag system manufacturer also makes a highly rated compressor with good features and remote + app. But am I limiting myself vs. installing something like an ARB compressor? And can I find add-ons to an ARB compressor that...

I have (had) the JBL system. Going to start from scratch with my stereo via Crutchfield. Several other projects first . . . sound deadening, new carpet, rust mitigation. I've admittedly had some analysis paralysis on my overall 12v power system with the overwhelming amount of information here...

Thanks to those of you who pioneered the solution for the Nav delete. I was able to get this done on my 02 LC in several hours and bypassed the Rear Heat vs. Rear AC-only issue. Based on a reference to the thread on repairing / replacing the buttons as they stop working (post #822 above), I...

So . . . . I got ahead of myself and jumped on a new manual rotary unit from a wrecker yard before reading all the way through the thread. I got the harnesses, labeled the wires per the cheat sheet, removed the chipped wood trim on the bezel. Then I read the part about matching the AC vs Heat...

No-go on the Phoenix unit for my '02 with Nav. Just sourced rotary HVAC control unit, bezel, and wiring harnesses to start a Nav delete. Never an easy road with my Cruiser. :-)

Waiting to hear back from Phoenix to see if my 02' LC with Nav is compatible with one of their units. I'm curious if anyone has explored if it's possible to add an OBD2 scanner app to the Android environment to view diagnostic data (water temp, transmission temp, fault codes, etc.) in place of...

I just went through something similar. Lacking the experience and time, I had a local shop that does a lot of work on LCs replace the CV axles. It came back doing exactly what you are describing over 50MPH. Vibration through the pedal when accelerating. Fine at speeds below that. They did...

Looking to do the same. Any hints on the sound deadening material would be appreciated.

I had everything with USAA until I refinanced my home last year. Their homeowner's premiums were double what other insurers were and I've filed one small claim in 25 years. Safeco won that business. I haven't shopped them for auto yet, but this might be the catalyst.

Thanks for the feedback! They will get a call from me today. Maybe I'll get a break since my homeowners policy is with them. I'll report back.

Hey, all. There have been far too many sad stories of people losing their cruisers to an accident and getting royally screwed by their or the other driver's insurance company. Now that I have spent a significant amount of time and $$$ with modifications, I tried to get a declared value...
