I just installed a new TJM Bumper and want to fix the hyper-flash due to the new wired in LED turn signals. I'd love to change the relay if only I could get to the thing!

I bought one of these kits from partstrade on ebay for my son's 02 4runner. Worked great and will likely do the same for my LX470 with 225k - just need to be mindful that you should take apart the motor and measure the rotor length / take a picture for the for the ebay seller to ensure they...

My LX did not come with a sub woofer installed in that space next to the 3rd row seat. Curious if anyone has fabricated a small box for storage in that empty space behind the speaker grill? I can easily see stashing my small battery jumpstart pack, a few tools, kayak straps.......I was thinking...

Been using these on all 4 of my family Toyotas.

NICE!, looks just like mine!

I did this not too long ago. if I remember correctly, if you look close with a light you will see a few screws from either the top or bottom of the cup holder after you pull and extend it out. they are hard to see .

finally reached 200k....bought her 3 years ago with 152,000 miles.

I just did the flush on my 02 yesterday with the Valvoline Max Life - $17.95 per Gal / Amazon. I flushed and refilled with roughly 17 quarts. I have also used this over and over again on my 02 4runner (301K). never an issue.

yes, you are right - I got those mixed up and updated the post. The boot had been leaking slowly since I've had it the past 18 months and I'm starting to hear a more pronounced click coming from the drivers side during slow speeds and turns - I'm just trying to isolate the noise before going all...

I updated with a few pics - the passenger side does seem to have a yellowish band

I'm looking at replacing my driver's side CV axle and noticed that the shaft between the boots is noticably thinner (30mm) as compared to the passenger side (33mm). I cannot find any markings to see if one is OEM and cannot see any records that the PO may have had one or the other replaced. Is...

Geanes....We did the same trip to BB State Park from Austin over Thanksgiving with friends! It was a nice workout for my LX - ended up with a chunk of metal in a rear tire just as we got to our campsite. Props to the Ranger station staff who patched the tire for $12.00. it was great trip and I...

from what you are describing it sounds like your water pump - mine did the same about a month ago. if it's not a leaking hose from above that area, you will need to dig into it to find the actual leak. when this happened to me I just ordered the Aisin TB and Water Pump kit and started that job...

Thanks Travis Bickle, I went ahead and tore everything down. Water pump was the culprit so Iordered the Aisin kit and just ended up doing the Timing Belt and WP job a few months early. Finished putting her back together this morning and she started right up with no leaks. It's very satisfying...

2002 LX470 172k, has been running great and was planning the TB and WP replacement after the new year. A few days ago my dash lit up and i noticed that my temp went all the way to high - pulled over and shut off within 5 minutes and noticed that it looked like all my coolant was gone. Had it...
