Not a whole lot going on with her. She is just running… This past weekend, I went ahead and did a complete Timing Belt job including Cam pulleys, Water Pump, oil cooler coolant lines, fan bracket, all Serpentine pulleys and Belt, and Valve Cover Gaskets. Out with the old In with the new...

Yes. My factory glass lenses got BB holes from rocks (Houston Freeways) and after replacing one with a used unit both got BB holes from rocks. I was looking for a way out. I still have my old ones and may try replacing the lenses.

The Eagle Eyes were good for about a year and a half then the clear coat chipped away and started fogging up. They still work although not impressed with the bulbs or projection after having them a while. I polish them every 6 months to keep them looking decent.

Just to keep updated. I changed out the rear brake rotors and pads to Z36 PowerStop drilled and slotted. I was out of pads completely. No pics, sorry.

I barely tried to get the wheel speed sensor out. I didn't try hard because i didn't take it out when I rebooted these axles a while back. There is no weight or tension or the wheel sensor wire and very little (if any) on the brake line. I have a screwdriver through a caliper mounting hole and...

Oh wow! I completely forgot to update but I ordered some hub flanges (and all associated parts) and while examining the axle splines I decided to order 2 CV Axles (and 2 for the LX470) while there was a sale going on. I installed these before the Thanksgiving trip to CO so I would feel sure...

I swapped the MAF out last night and took the truck for a drive and WOW! What a difference! The truck is more peppy, reacts faster, and accelerates smoother! I feel like I should have done this a long time ago but had no idea it was going bad over time. I have cleaned it periodically with MAF...

Ain't that the truth... Oh almost forgot. my uncle in CO has a Cruiser as well. ...and my wife's uncle has quite a car collection also and a sweet garage. He has more at the another shop.

The ol' girl has been cruising along nicely over the last year or so. We decided to take a road trip from Katy, TX to Colorado Springs (18 hrs) with the family over the Thanksgiving week to see and stay with my aunt. Ignore the old Star in the windshield cruising the Amarillo Hwy... Insert Terry...

Have you changed your AC control panel from the Multi Functional Display to the 3 knob version?

The part that irks me is it only took 20 mins. LOL

Alright. The Bridgestones that came on me Tundra take off wheels were getting old (8 years) and worn and I found a little chunk missing so I decided to do something dramatic. Cooper ATPs in 275/65/18 on my Tundra Steelies. I really wanted skinnier tires but this is what they had in stock. I have...

I have updated my main thread but i wanted to update this as well in case anyone searches. Huge News on the AC BLINKING LIGHT issue! I turned the Land Cruiser into Katy L & T (Lexus and Toyota) and the wonderful owner there, Miguel, suggested that the 3 knob control panel (that I changed out a...

Huge News on the AC BLINKING LIGHT issue! I turned the Land Cruiser into Katy L & T (Lexus and Toyota) and the wonderful owner there, Miguel, suggested that the 3 knob control panel (that I changed out a few years ago from the Multifunction Display) was not responding correctly so I bought...

Side by side comparison Ridies still hasn't fixed this clip and there is no way it will fit. I drilled some holes and screwed it down. I did not steam them and probably won't. Texas heat will get that in a month or two. My thoughts on the two: 1. Ridies Napa Leather has a nicer texture...
