Thanks! Did you keep everything else original? ML speakers/amps/etc, or did you bypass that? How is the responsiveness is the touchscreen? Any recommended items to add on beside the firmware?

This is great to hear and I'm considering doing the same... Did you have to do anything to get the OEM camera to work? Also, did you buy Sergey's software from them, or find it somewhere else?

IIRC, armatures were different, but I don't recall exactly. I feel like if they had been interchangeable, I would have just swapped that part out only... The antenna tubes were obviously different, as was the mounting bracket. The plug for the hall sensors (on the front of the winder) were...

To be honest, if I had to do it over again, I'd probably just eliminate the position sensor and make it 100% manual to use the buttons. I get pretty good coverage with the mast fully retracted, and I'd just use the button to raise it when needed. That's basically what happens with my LX470, it...

Yikes, but I guess with labor rates these days it was bound to be pricey. But still cheaper than the FJ100 unit!

That's great @idyllwild! I did the same thing originally. Found brushes, filed them down, etc. My issue was getting the armature fixed. I tried copper tape, but it failed after a few cycles. How much did it cost to have the armature rebuilt? Who did the work?

I was looking to order from Impex (IMPEX JAPAN — online new genuine spare parts shop - https://en.impex-jp.com/) They basically buy the parts, package them, and then ship to you. Lots of people have good experience with them for AHC globes and stuff like that.

OK, so I've done this twice now and I think I've got it down. I also think I figured out my issue... I was getting no coolant in the block because I had the left wheel off, but the right wheel is still on the ground. This is putting the driver side of the radiator slightly above the passenger...

I think I need to consider replacing the radiator soon as it's turning they grey/green color... Is the Denso radiator truly an OE part? Answered this myself... No... not it's not. I had gone Denso for an AC Condenser, and that was basically a Toyota Part in a non-toyota box, but the...

OK, quick update. I ended up pulling off the upper coolant hose and filled added another gallon of distilled water before it was full. I reconnected the hose, and started the car up. Within 5 minutes I had heat and temp gauge was at 1/2 like before. After about 3-4 more minutes The coolant...

I'm sure you're right, no leaks, and I pressure tested prior to refilling. My worry is that I only got 1.25 gallons of distilled water in it after replacing the main coolant hoses, PHH, and most other heater hoses. I expected to get get it up to temp, the thermostat to open, it'd start...

Agreed, and I'm up on ramps, but I'm not even at the point of bleeding. I need the coolant to start circulating in the radiator for that to happen.

I'm usually very diligent about that, but I will check it. My concern is that it's acting like the thermostat isn't opening. The "supply side" of the thermostat is still cool while the block is warm. My next step is to just pull the thermostat while I flush everything.

Hello all, I think I might be overthinking this, but after replacing almost all of the coolant and heater hoses (still need to do the ones under the intake) on my 1996 LX450 I started the refill process and I'm stuck... I refilled the radiator with about 1.25 gallons of distilled water and...

It's a lot more expensive than what you linked to, but you can use they Lx470 antenna and just swap out the antenna tube for the 80 series one.
