@CaptainLowside I'm curious to know how long your WD-40 solution lasted. It seems to me like a thin lubricating film like that would wear away fairly quickly but I would be thrilled to learn otherwise. I'm about to pull the pedal out of my '04 and apply this same fix to hopefully remedy that...

Yup. I forgot to mention that. It was one of the items that the shop suspected as well. They checked and said rotors and calipers were in good shape and nothing was loose. The shop tech said he was only able to reproduce it once which makes me believe they weren't "doing it right". I'm guessing...

As the title says, I've been chasing a clunk that happens after coming to a stop. The exact reproduction steps are to apply the brakes, not exceedingly hard but relatively firmly, come to a complete stop without easing up (much) on the brakes and then, after coming to a complete stop, release...

Holy crap that wiring harness is CLEAN! Inspiring me to re-do the rats nest behind my screen. Maybe a Labor Day weekend project.

Hey @Anarchy, just getting caught up on this thread. I recently acquired an '04 LC100 (not RX470). I've got an aftermarket, Chinese android unit currently installed with mostly working touch controls configured through a CAN bus decoder. I know your call for testers was for RX470 but let me know...

I've got this same unit in my new-to-me 100 with the same Audiovox rear DVD system that is non-functional and the screen latch is busted. I'm concerned I'll be dealing with the large hole in the headliner too, though. What is this "cutting board method" you refer to? I've searched the forums but...

Well, after attempting to join the 80 club (and learning a valuable lesson) I've decided to change my membership and join the 100 club! Enjoy some of the glamor shots from the listing. I haven't had a chance to take my own pictures yet. Haven't been able to stop driving her long enough to get...

I’m holding on to it unless an offer comes around that makes me break close to even. If in a year or two I still have it, I’ll have enough to do something about it one way or another.

Well, I had the inspection and failed. Turns out the rust is even worse than I thought. Both inner rockers have portions rusted through near the wheel wells and both quarter panels have what the inspector considers "structurally compromising rust". I found a "good ol' boy" body shop who was...

Went and had the inspection done today. It failed with flying colors. The failure was, unsurprisingly, due to the rust. It has compromised both rear quarters to the point the inspector considers it structurally unsound without complete replacement. In addition, the rockers are completely toast...

Thanks for that reply and you're right. This is exactly the thought process that's been going through my head. I have two distinct, but not wholly different objectives: Get what I have on the road as soon as possible because I need to drive it Figure out a long-term plan of action so I can...

I’ve got idle hands, disposable income and a wife who thinks it’s healthy that I have a hobby.

Something must be wrong with me that this post makes me want to keep the truck more 🤪 I understand where everyone's coming from with the advice to ditch the truck, get another one and start over. The reality, though, is that I got this truck for a very very good price. I paid only slightly...

The key detail here is the title status. A rebuilt title, when being transferred between states, requires that an inspector re-inspect the vehicle to sign off on the T-22B form needed when registering the vehicle. The inspection is a safety inspection. The intention is to certify the rebuild was...

You and me both! The frame has some light surface rust but nothing major. The differentials/axles show the worst rust but it's stable and not rotted through and at this point I've either broken, drilled out and replaced or removed and re-installed with anti-seize any of the bolts holding the...
