    Starter Advice

    Ive been reading how to access my starter on the forum. Who thought to put it within the engine... I digress. I have 280k on the old steed. Some recommend just contacts as these are robust starters but I wonder if I should replace the entire unit with a rebuilt Denso due to age and milage to...

    Fan clutch advice

    I’ve searched the forum for this to no avail So forgive me if I missed it. My fan bracket gave out a few years ago (ironically passing the Toyota dealership) on the interstate so I had it replaced. Think they charged me $700 for the job 😳. Serpentine belt broke as a result. Now the fan makes a...

    Maybe it is time? Been a great truck

    My beloved 2000 LX has been everywhere reliably. At 276K it needs a timing belt and a fan braket. I was going to spring for it this week but today it started stumbling from stop and surging in drive at stop lights. At first I thought is was the tranny and at this point I'm thinking I'm out...

    slight overheating help

    It is cold here currently in Santa Fe and high temps are in the mid twenties. Ironically my truck has been running hot especially at interstate speed under load. The temp gauge is getting right to the red zone but not in it under moderate load. If I drop it down a gear and rev the hell out...

    Duratracs not so bueno - advice please

    Tire shop accidentally put the wrong size Duratracs on my truck last Friday 275/65/18 not 275/70/18 as paid for. This may be my get "out of jail free card" as these tires truly suck on the highway. Truck is noisy and seems as though the parking brake is slightly engaged as the drag is quite...

    Quick question - we are taking our 100 to Baja for a few weeks and I am trying to prep it accordingly. Truck has 240k on the clock so its no spring chicken. I just purchased new tires that are not the same size as the spare. Can you run the spare if it is a different size? Also any advice...

    Anybody had luck with blowing compressed air into junction block

    I have read that compressed air can correct shorts in the junction block. Especially 2000 model LX/LCs. If you have had some success, can you outline the procedure. I tried it this weekend but without any luck. Possibly I missed a step

    Factory grey wheel finish "shiny"

    Hi all - I needed tires for my 2000 LX and found a deal on new 18" LC wheels. This saved me a few bucks over new tires and I like the look of the wheels except the hight gloss finish. It seems these alloys come in a mate silver or a shiny darker grey. I have the latter. My Woodland green and...

    Spare tire size

    I changed the original 16 inchers to the updated 18s. Does the spare also need to match due to the all time 4 wheel drive. Thanks in advance

    Hit a boulder - need some advice

    I grazed a boulder at speed last weekend. Blasting down my favorite arroyo as the sun was setting and visablitly was poor. Bounced off the boulder (broke it into three pieces) and received a flat. Fixed the flat and immediately after driving the truck noticed the steering wheel was now at a...
