    Aftermarket LED taillights, is a resistor needed?

    I must suck at searching, I can't find something similar. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

    Aftermarket LED taillights, is a resistor needed?

    The previous owner put these taillights on, and they work great. However using the turn signal will cancel cruiser control. I've lived with this just fine, I'm not a fan of cruise control. However I've also had a problem where when using my turn signal, when the light comes on, I can feel a...

    PWR button

    I notice the later shifts, especially when pulling into a tight gap in moving traffic and have to get on the gas. If you're worried about this sort of thing, get a bluetooth OBDII scanner and something like the Torque app for your phone (both are reasonably priced). You can customize a gauge...

    Cooking Tricks

    Thanks, that's a great tip. We do canoe camping, and each person chooses a meal to cook for everyone else. I always do breakfast because I'm up with the sun. I don't have problems with eggs breaking in the hard case, but it's annoying having those cases in the way the rest of the trip. Plus...

    Rough idle - shaking, poor emisions

    I've had a misfire from a bad injector. Have you checked all your injectors? I placed a long socket extension against an injector with the engine running, and held the other end to my ear, and could tell which one was bad because it wasn't ticking. Easy/free way to check for that.

    Another Clunk Thread Cresting Hill Only 07 lx470

    Does it sound like it's coming from any direction? It may be suspension related, only occurring on droop, have you tried going over a speed bump or something similar to see if it happens when suspension is rebounding?

    Towing with a 99 lx470

    This was me last year, when my front diff grenaded while towing our travel trailer (2600#) 7 hours into a 12 hour trip. $7k repair bill at a dealership, which included a rental Tacoma to finish the trip. I'd recommend a bluetooth OBD2 scanner and an accompanying phone app. It's real nice being...

    Engine turns over a long time before starting (after sitting for a couple hours)

    I have this same issue, after doing a starter/valve cover gasket replacement. Not sure if that's coincidental, but I don't know what I could have done to cause it. I figure if there's a fuel leak it would smell. Some googling says it could be leaking fuel through an injector into the piston, but...

    I don’t want to beat a dead horse, but my rig is still venting. Gas.

    My brother recently rectified a similar issue on a different vehicle. It was fixed by using compressed air to blow out the vent lines. The theory is that gas travels to the charcoal canister from over filling or pressure, breaks up the charcoal, which settles in the vent lines (between gas tank...

    SOLVED - Front right vibration under load - Comment my thinking

    I'm the type of guy that always tries the cheap option first, because for many things I don't use it so hard and it's good enough for my uses. The CV axle was one instance where it did not go my way. About a year of regular on-road use had me replacing the CV axle with OEM. No major...

    Longer start times after replacing starter

    The battery is 6 months old, and a new tie-down bracket has ensured that the cables have stayed tight (I had a loosening issue in the past). The starter is quick and strong, and volt meter hasn't looked out of place.

    Longer start times after replacing starter

    My starter failed. Prior to failing, my engine would typically fire to life after engaging the starter for maybe half a second, to perhaps a full second. I replaced the starter, and as part of the process replaced various gaskets, knock sensors, and coolant sensor (not sure if at all related)...

    Rear shock hardware question

    I didn't see the old rubber and metal washers above the shock (they were still sitting there). Makes a lot more sense now, thanks.

    Rear shock hardware question

    The 2 Bilstein shocks I'm removing each have 2 cupped washers with a rubber spacer between them, at the top of the shocks. The new OEM shocks I received each come with 2 thicker rubber spacers (90948-01064). Do I need these? How should they be placed? The dealer also said I needed these 2...

    Family of 6 Touring / Camping - Keep LC100 or Buy Excursion?

    I vote trailer. We used an open trailer full of camping gear towed by our 4-banger Mazda. The car is long gone (and the next vehicle that followed it) but I still have the trailer, used it yesterday with my LC. It's versatile year-round, you can leave your campsite setup, and if you don't like...

    [SOLVED] Power seats, door windows and locks aren't working. Is there a breaker I can reset?

    For my '99 my lumbar button has a short, pressing it blows a fuse that also controls windows. For me it's a fuse in the left kick panel of the driver's side. It's a bigger fuse, 40 amp fuse labelled "power".

    Door keeper repair: bolt-in or weld support plate?

    A functional door. If a bolted-in plate will be strong enough, I'll go with that. I saw that, but it looked to me like a reinforcement plate for doors that haven't broken yet. But I may have misinterpreted it.

    Door keeper repair: bolt-in or weld support plate?

    The door keeper binds and rips from the metal of the door. A backplate is needed to strengthen the area for the new door keeper. I've seen repairs where the door is completely disassembled and angle iron is welded inside. But I've also seen some where they simply bolt a plate to the door; 2...

    Sunroof cable replacement

    It's hard to tell from the pics, so sorry if it's a dumb question, but is it possible to lube the cables without disassembly if my sunroof is still functioning?
