I just uploaded RM434E and RM534E. I think the other FSM I scanned many years ago are already there from other contributors notably RM315E and RM184E which I think covers all of the chassis manuals? From what I remember of the EWD's, you get the same information in the chassis repair manuals as...

The left rear line burst due to corrosion. Luckily I had been planning to change the lines and rams as preventative maintenance and already had them on hand. The old bushings weren't in too bad condition so I can't say changing those made a difference I could detect but it may have done. The...

I had to drop the fuel tank to get the left rear line in, which meant taking the rear drive shaft off too. I did try without, but couldn't make it work, ymmv. I don't think the right side had any extra access restrictions. I have a 25mm body lift, and one of the reasons for that is easier access...

My 04 HDJ100 LC doesn't have hum, and I'm pretty sure a friends 05 HDJ100 LC doesn't either or he would have mentioned it. UK market, so maybe there's a difference in equipment spec and there's a clue in that? The Teyes has line outs, so an aftermarket amp used with those might get rid of the hum.

Great project. Any chance you'd share the canbus information you were able to reverse engineer? I'm a C++ dev, not Android, but have done Arduino projects interfacing to sensors etc on the LC and want to build a stand alone controller for the AC so if the Teyes or any other head unit stops...

is that red-security wire for the security led or something else security related? Is the wiring diagram for that kind of detail buried in this thread somewhere? I've gone the Teyes Andriod route and there are just a few things missing like the security indicator it would be good to get back.

I overlapped my arms, with a spring bolt on the main arm, firing down into the bumper, and an overcenter catch on the other arm that clamps them both down onto the bumper. Works well for my use. There's a small piece of stainless on the bumper, and underside of the main arm, as a landing /...

I don't have that exact pipe, but I do have a very similar brake pipe repair section I haven't fitted yet, and yes, it's quite hard to blow down. Difficult to quantify that, but maybe like starting a difficult balloon, only it doesn't get easier, because the 'balloon' isn't expanding. Sounds...

It's one of a series of manuals I scanned page by page back in 2005. Turns up in all kinds of places now, but the dirt on the cover is mine. Toyota like to write threatening letters to anyone hosting the files, so I had to stop hosting them myself.

I find less is more in terms of bag pressure vs ride comfort. I'm also running the king springs, plus 30mm spacers, and airlift bags. The ride gets a bit bouncy over speed bumps if there's even a bit too much air in the bags. I think that's because without a lift, on a larger compression of the...

I used that option a few times without causing any problems ...

Check that all the pins are seated fully in the connectors on the can-bus box. Mine was intermittent / partial on the AC controls due to a pin not fully inserted in the connector.

Interesting that you were able to plug one of the connectors into the wrong place. I wonder if anyone else's problems are caused by that.

I don't know - I didn't notice what was printed on my canbus box, but that could be why the update won't install.

I got the same 'app not installed' error when I was trying to install those updates, trying to solve my aircon problems. My problem was one of the wires on that canbus connector shown in your picture. They all looked good until I looked very closely and saw that one pin was pushed back slightly...
