Search in your area for a speaker repair shop. Took one door speaker to have looked and possibly repaired. Advantage is you do not have to modify mounting bracket and plug. Challenge is our 2001 LX47o has 2 ohm system. Repair shop was able to recone and insulate existing speaker with, a ohm...

The brakes will always feel soft in the 80 but that doesn't mean you shouldn't stop. Many challenges for YKNOT over the decades. Clean brake fluid in reservoir, then do a manual bleed with help, old fashion pump at pedal. You will see dirty versus clean fluid at bleeder valve. Put the rubber...

Good day Sevro and ih8mud Your intentions are good and could be worthwhile with a little guidance. Lots of great of information here but also some quick thinking. I will only speak from personnel experience on a 1997 FZJ80 350K +/-. Yes you can drive a land cruiser on 4 cylinders. Our son...

Good Day Maybe some one that is real familiar with the 100's may chime in. Check the wire on the crank sensor down low on (L) side drivers. In front of lower radiator (L) drivers side This wire is supposed to be wired so wire goes behind not in front. Wire rubs on plastic and shorts. Engine...

2001LC "I've no doubt. A non replaceable seal in master. Is screeching at you." Thanks for quote and tracking this issue. This is the main issue from my understanding from my very experienced shop. Have a pile of these broken brake units. These are factory installed internal rubber seals with...

Be glad the vehicle was parked and the lights came on. This is a much discussed topic on IH8MUD. Our new to us, about a year, 2001 LX470 did same thing. after 3 hours of hard mountain driving the afternoon before. Yes there are all sorts of ideas to repair, none are worth the fear or...

Some simple input from similar experience. Oil light came on Down grade into the desert southwest from mountains. Checked oil and okay. Light went off on flat areas. Light back on getting to Sacramento from SW desert visiting. Dealer diagnose, oil sender unit. Purchased and installed with...

Have Followed thread and thank all. Have driven the Defender on our 97 80 for 16 years and about two worn out sets . Currently on third set. Have defender on all other 4x4 T100 and tried Latitude for a while on HIGLANER AWD. Switched to defender which was much better in the snow...

Would have to agree with JunkCRZ89r FLush out that old Strawberry Milkshake. Easy job. Front end on stands Disconnect the inlet hose to PSR and into drain bucket. Maybe easy to attach larger hose for extension. Fill PSR to top new fluid. Gently turn wheel L/R without engine running. Found...

This part seems to get the best of everyone welcome. My second person was my wife. When frustrated myself I ask her to come out and check. It also takes my mind off the problem. Quote " Have you tried turning it a little this way, wheel well direction?" LO and BEHOLD Brake booster slipped...

The owners manul will tell you all the grease types, oil types, tranny oil etc Having 3 yotas at one time, I took a picture of the page on my phone when buying product.

Defending the defender by Michelin. Have run the this Michelin tire for twenty years on 80 LC a T100 4x4 and Highlander. Even before this in other vehicles. This is the old LTX M/S tire. this is a wonderful tire for many reasons. True 4x4 not at all Capable you bet. Quiet yes, handle well...

Great work. Are you going to replace all 3 solenoids. I too have heard that about Isuzu but have not been able to track part down for A343F. Thanks for pointing out the gasket challenge. Main thing from me not putting up on stands for a day or so. Looks nice and clean now!

Why thanks for the pictures? What's your plan with Solenoids? I have one solenoid and it is Solenoid A for us. Replace with one new Solenoid. Test, clean, and reinstall other 2 solenoids. Kind of my plan instead of buying 2 more for around 450$ Have seen various sites, show how to test a...
