    Washed and Waxed

    In further attempts to show my love for her I washed and waxed her today with Griot's Garage Best of Show wash and wax. I also detailed her interior, windows, and cleaned and conditioned the leather. Heck, if you zoom in on the driver's fender and door you can the reflection of the car next to...

    MPG

    Today I replaced my fan clutch, lower and upper radiator hoses, fan shroud, and t-stat and gasket. All pretty easy. Maybe took an hour or two. My question is, why is my MPG still under 20? I was hoping she saw I was treating her right, and she'll up the mileage.

    Lowering Kit

    I'm thinking of slamming my Cruiser, and I've searched this forum for the best kit, could not find one. What's the best lowering kit out there? I'm also looking at 24 inch rims or maybe 12 inch, but either way I want my Cruiser to look sharp and slamming. Hydrolics, what do you suggest? I...

    Your Local Dealership

    I keep seeing on here time and time again members asking for part numbers. I get it if you are no where near a Toyota dealership, but if you are, I recommend going down to your local dealership and engaging with them. Keep engaging the same counterman, and if you are friendly enough, you know...

    AHC Performance

    Okay, as promised here is my review of utilizing the AHC. After following the fluid exchange walk though here, an amazing thread and very simple to do yourself, I experienced way better results than I was expecting. Before my 2006 rode like a truck, and after, bliss. Smooth. I preformed the...

    Great Place to Get Parts

    Posting this here for my 100 series buddies. Not a fan of Camelback Toyota because they were an aggressive competitor of mine for years when I worked parts at Precision Toyota of Tucson back in the late '90's. Don't care if Mud loves them. I then worked parts at the following dealership, and the...

    CIL VSC Track and VSC Off Lights

    I was in the drive-thru and these lights popped on at the same time. The code is P0333, and it points to the Knock Sensor 2 Circuit High Input (Bank 2). I guess first attempt would be putting in some Premium fuel, but never had an issue before. I do not see how or why all three lights would pop on.

    Appreciation

    During these unprecedented times, and summer, let us all take a moment out of our busy schedules and give a little appreciation, gratitude even, to this wonderful little guy. Quite possibly the best feature of our rigs.

    I Feel Dumb

    I've had my LX since mid November 2019, removed my rear seats a few months back, and today as I was unloading groceries I noticed something that I never noticed before. Yes, seat-belt holders. How did I miss these? They save soooo much room, and now get in my way when I access my secret stash of...

    Snake Oil

    Most of us do it, or at least contemplate pouring in or "upgrading" our 100's with a product that makes US feel good in hopes of benefiting our rigs. Most of the time it's purely psychological or even emotional. For me it's those damn BG products, specifically BG 44k. I don't know if it actually...

    Fuel Filter

    While "working" from home today I replaced the fuel filter in my rig. I had no records of it being done, but once I removed the old filter there was no doubt that it was replaced at one time, don't know when as it was an aftermarket filter. Before replacing the filter I was averaging around 16...

    2006 LX470 Transmission Service

    I was on the fence with this, but I was in Lone Star Toyota picking up parts when I may have made a mistake with speaking with the service manager about a transmission service. $360.00 later I got a BG complete transmission service, and it now shifts like cutting through room temp butter. When I...

    Costco Roof Top Tents

    Here are two roof top tents I saw this morning that Costco is offering while "working" from home. Not sure of the quality, but Costco usually stands behind the products they sell. The hard top is $1,999.99, and the soft is $1,199.99. Those prices include S&H. No, I do not work for Costco.

    Evaporator Box Leak Need Help Finding Drain Tube

    After replacing the radiator I got car up to temp, and burped the system. A/C on, and I noticed a drip at the evap box. Following this thread I ordered the seal, and it will be here tomorrow. Cover is already off, and now I wait. That's a pain to squeeze out. I was searching for the dang drain...

    Radiator Replacement Gripe

    Just wrapped up replacing my radiator this morning, and overall, easy peasy except that for damn passenger side lower mount bolt. I think it took me almost an hour to get a thread on it when installing. PITA. Engineers did not have the mechanic in mind, or at least me. :) That being said, the...

    Fan Clutch?

    I did a search here, and based on the results it appears I'm in need of a new fan clutch. On my way into work this morning traffic was unusually bad, stop with little go. I noticed my temp gauge rising, it's always been just below halfway, and here it was creeping up near the red, never reached...

    2006 LX 186k miles T's

    If is was a kid in a china shop and broke something they would never believe me if I said, "I swear I just touched it!". I was going to do this job last weekend, but had a bad feeling looking in there. I decided to replace all the attached hoses at the same time, and remove them as a single unit...
