    Desperate for heat

    That's the resistor. If the fuses are good, then that's your culprit.

    Can water crossings crack engine block or head?

    If the water crossing is being performed correctly, you're creating a bow wave with the front of the vehicle, and the water is being displaced to the sides of the vehicle. There is very little water intrusion into the engine bay with this technique. If you drop down into the water and just creep...

    Are you talking about the UCA's? BP51 is the model of the coilovers and shocks. What model of UCA is installed?

    Official LX570s Picture Thread

    The ride is outstanding. I have had BP51's on my GX470 for about 4 years now with zero issues. So, I knew what to expect by installing theses on the LX. It rides so good. Slightly firmer than the factory AHC in normal mode. Offroad is typical BP51. Outstanding off road. Also, you wouldn't know...

    We like to find abandoned properties/industrial areas to take pictures on. This was an old farm/ranch near us that has been abandoned for a while now.

    The AHC worked perfectly for about 6 months. Then I had a line rupture, and drain the system. Replaced the line, and spent forever getting the system bled. During that time, I found some seepage from the shocks, and struts. Then, the pump failed completely on me with no warning. After that, I...

    I had to choose between replacing the failed AHC pump, or installing the BP's. The pump going out was the third failure I had on the system in a month. And with the mileage on the vehicle, I would have had to completely renew the system. In my opinion, it was money well spent ditching the AHC...

    I wanted a cleaner/sleeker look because I always intended to install sliders. It looked really good with just the LC rocker panels by themselves. Super happy with the way it came out.

    Newbie mile question

    I'm mainly replacing it to eliminate any sort of debris or blockage within the cooler itself. As well as I want the component itself to be new along with the rest of the cooling system components I am replacing at the same time. It eliminates a possible failure point in the vehicle cooling...

    Newbie mile question

    It will have 200K on it. Since I will be replacing the cooling system, might as well do it as well. Just my OCD for preventative maintenance. I'll probably replace the lines as well.

    Newbie mile question

    Me personally, I would do a drain, and fill as part of a baseline service. Then, down the road, do a filter, fill, and drain service. To a lot of people, my wife included, I tend to go overboard when it comes to maintenance on our fleet. I also think I go overboard, because we use the hell out...

    Newbie mile question

    I drain and fill trans fluid every 50k. I replace the filter, drain and fill every 100k. I know I'm going to get hate for this, but I use the compatible redline transmission fluid for Toyota WS fluid. I can get a 5 gallon bucket for alot cheaper than the comparable quarts from Toyota. I have...

    Newbie mile question

    With every vehicle I purchase that is new to me, I do an oil change. Replace all filters. Drain, and refill diffs and T-case with new Mobil 1 gear oil. I check the condition of the coolant, and if it looks clean, and fresh, I leave it. If not, then I do a coolant flush. I also do a brake fluid...

    Center Diff Lock light blinking

    There are a o-rings that seal the actuator to the t-case. They are a known leak source. The "official" repair is to remove the t-case, and split it in half to remove the seals. There are several very good, detailed write-ups on how to replace the o-rings by just removing the actuator. There are...

    How would you fix this? Dome light mess.

    Look for the rear seat control pod from a synthesis equipped Runner. That will easily cover that hole, and it's factory.
