    Figured out my intermittent AC issue... fyi

    Back in AZ about a year ago, my AC would work flawlessly and then just stop, blowing out warm/hot air. It would happen about 1 in 10 ten times between trips. After I shipped it to Hawaii, after several months, the same thing but it had flipped to stopping 9/10 times only working 1/10 trips. My...

    Wood Dash Trim Replacement, was it worth it?

    Agreed but I shipped my truck to Hawaii and am renting here, all of my tools are in storage in the mainland to had to work with what I had unfortunately.

    Wood Dash Trim Replacement, was it worth it?

    scissor at first just to test if it would cut and it cut like really, really easily. After the first cut piece came out poorly using scissors, I then switch to a sharp blade and a straight edge ruler for the rest. Those all came out pretty well

    Wood Dash Trim Replacement, was it worth it?

    I honestly couldn't tell you if its a real wood laminate and their site isn't specific but whatever it is is thin enough to cut with scissors or a blade. That would not be possible with the Toyota OEM wood trim. The pieces of this kit is made up of an adhesive back, a thin (paper?) laminate and...

    Wood Dash Trim Replacement, was it worth it?

    The first piece I cut was pretty bad actually but once I realized I can't make a straight cut with scissors, I switched to a blade and straight edge so then the other 8 or nine pieces I had to trim came out pretty decent. It was the inside (rounded) corners that still look crappy or just so-so...

    Wood Dash Trim Replacement, was it worth it?

    So in the end, I'm glad I did it considering the relatively low cost of the kit and my quest to keep the LC looking great. The new Katskin Leather, fixed AC and recent repair of one of the door lock actuators make driving her enjoyable again. New rubber coming up next.

    Wood Dash Trim Replacement, was it worth it?

    Most of my wood trim pieces were in pretty damn good shape except for the center console at the gear shifts and one AC vent piece but those two pieces were bad enough to make me want to replace them hoping that the new kit matched well enough so that I could only do those two pieces... sure...

    PM # 17: check your exhaust system cushions

    Ugh, was hearing a metal to metal chirping noise at idle and took look, same thing, cushions are shot. Came here to verify, thanks for this post and info.

    Lots of recent upgrades but thinking about selling... thoughts?

    Thanks for that info... the last time I was on the Big Island, I showed pics of my LC and the guys there were saying the opposite... that i'd be surprised how much money folks have there (as 2nd homes and such) and would pay top dollar for a "cherry Toy like that bra" lol

    Lots of recent upgrades but thinking about selling... thoughts?

    Agreed on where to put this chat... We could talk about the upholstery that was recently done... - I paid a local Phx AZ upholstery shop whose specializes in installing just the Katskin kits... I think I paid $1700 iirc for the two front seats, middle arm rest and 2nd row seats. They replaced...

    Lots of recent upgrades but thinking about selling... thoughts?

    I plan to build my house in Hawaii over the next couple years... Bought land there about 8 yrs ago, been a Proj. Mgr. for many years in my pre-retirement history and want to tackle building my own house as an owner-builder. I just finished with the designs and the survey is in the works so need...

    Lots of recent upgrades but thinking about selling... thoughts?

    Agreed, which is why we were planning to pay to ship them but building a house with the Cruiser vs a truck would be a little bit of a hassle and the TModel3 is pretty small, and can't fit more than 1 set of golf clubs without having to fold down the rear seats... was thinking of getting a Rivian...

    Lots of recent upgrades but thinking about selling... thoughts?

    So... I retired last year, sold my house and have been travelling abroad, the Cruiser and my Tesla are in storage. I'll end up moving to Hawaii later this year and WAS intending to ship both of them over but am contemplating selling both vehicles and just cashing out a full size truck and...

    How difficult a job is replacing head gasket?

    No warpage... cleaned everything up with wirebrushes and solvents and re-installed everything as is... had already done the PHH mod and other repairs items prior. It was 6 yrs ago and I just recall following the FSM disassembly instructions but others can correct me if i'm wrong but iirc, you...

    How difficult a job is replacing head gasket?

    Blew my HG back in 2014 towing my popup... knew it immediately, limped it back home 50 miles pulling over every now and then to prevent it from overheating adding water to Rad a couple times iirc. I bought the Toyota OEM HG Kit, Toyota Rad Fluid, new belts and hoses, etc. and got started within...

    Power steering leak

    Where exactly is your leak coming from? After wrapping up a HG replacement, I'm now in the mood to tackle my PS leak... spent last evening cleaning up the pump to where it was clean and dry and I could see where my leak was coming from. Turns out its coming from the metal tubes flange (bad...
