    Power steering/Alternator attention

    I'm in the middle of a 2009 Sequoia alternator swap which is very similar. I thought I could try just replacing the brushes but it looks like one brush cracked in half and chewed up all the copper on the contact surface. I ordered a Denso reman from NAPA. My power steering pump looks a...

    PLEASE HELP! 2000 LC dies while driving/no check engine **UPDATED 8/17/21**

    You might also check fuel filter. If you haven't changed it, it's not a bad idea anyway. If it's pretty clogged it may run for a while and then starve the engine and stop. If you sit for a few minutes, it may will probably run again. I had a friend with an old Jeep Cherokee that had that...

    Good windshield installation guy

    I have a couple of comments ... I had an issue with Safelite and rivet vs screws except in my case they wanted to do bodywork to repair damage that they had done in a previous repair where they used screws instead of rivets. They wanted to fill the holes in re-drill and repaint. I opted out...

    What have you done to your 100 Series this week?

    Heater hose tee's -- One cracked and made quite a steamy mess as it dripped on the exhaust pipes below. Luckily I was able to let it cool off, fill it up, and limp home with the help of some duct tape around the tee. It was a crumbling mess when I removed what was left of the tee pipe. I...

    Thanks, it's a Canon T2i with a timer plugged in and set for photos every 60 seconds. Then put together with Windows Movie Maker.

    Procedure for replacing 100 series(98 and up) starter contacts

    So it's been a few months since I posted a question about this -- I ended up not worrying about that hole I was asking about. Here is a video of my starter replacement -- less than 2 minutes! ;) Actually it took me about three evenings for a total of 7-8 hours. I was working by myself and...

    Procedure for replacing 100 series(98 and up) starter contacts

    I'm most of the way through this job, thanks to the help of this forum once again. I have couple of days before I have to have it working again, and now that I have the starter off, I think I am going to make it. I bought a reman starter from a local Toyota dealer. I got the starter and...

    The best Headlight bulb on the market today.

    [In your picture I only see one broken filament..... The break on the closer bulb was very subtle but I didn't quite capture it in the photo. It looks like it broke without burning up the filament. The filament of the bulb in the background is melted into a ball. I'm not sure if that...

    The best Headlight bulb on the market today.

    Both my low beam bulb filaments failed this last weekend after driving for a couple hours on a washboard road that was a little worse than normal. I had not heard of that happening before. The high beams were still working so just drove home with high beams on. With the help of this...

    What have you repaired/replaced on your high-mile Cruiser?

    I suspect that is the case for me. My hunting trips usually have a 20-30 mile stretch over washboard roads and even at lower speeds it just rattles everything on the truck.

    What have you repaired/replaced on your high-mile Cruiser?

    Transmission fluid was flushed once between 60k and 160k but don't remember the details. No additives. For the radiator, I think I flushed it at least 3 times, once when I replaced the fan clutch, which I didn't have on my list which was probably around 200k miles. Flushed with distilled...

    What have you repaired/replaced on your high-mile Cruiser?

    For the transmission I bought a replacement OEM transmission through a friend who is a mechanic and he installed it. Transmission has been fine but had a couple of issues immediately afterwards but got them worked out. Cruise control linkage had to be adjusted and O2 sensor harness was failing...

    Seeking your thoughts on new drawer system

    I know that you are well in to the process of building but I thought I could still add a comment. I've had the same drawer system in my 100 for several years (maybe 8?) and it has served well. I think the guy who built it might have gone out of business by now -- his website no longer works...

    For Sale  '86 FJ60 Skid Plate

    $20 Skid plate from FJ60 -- I'm moving and discovered that I didn't send this with my '86 FJ60 when I sold it about 10 years ago. I can ship it if I have to, but it's a pretty heavy chunk of metal.

    100 Series Alternator (to rebuild)

    When I got a new alternator, I bought it online so I still have the old one in my garage. It's my original Denso alternator. I can take a picture if you are interested. It's relatively clean looking. Apparently you can go have this rebuilt and have good spare, but I'm not likely to do that...

    100/LX470 Alternator Replacement

    I already did my whining in another post, but it hasn't been a piece of cake for me! For an answer to the original question, the thread about the "mean green" alternator had a nice set of instructions for removing the alternator without taking the radiator out. I couldn't identify the...

    Mean Green Alternator

    Well I had to quit mid way with my alternator installation since it started to rain on me around 1AM (very rare in Phoenix) but... I was not able to follow those instructions that morerunner posted. While tucked up under the passenger side wheel well, I couldn't get enough grip on the back...

    tranny installation / resulting problems

    I can't believe it was so long ago, but I finally figured out the cause of my rear passenger side O2 sensor problem that showed up after I got a new transmission. I just ignored it for a while but since I had to eventually pass emission testing I worked on it again a few months ago. I...

    Mean Green Alternator

    Thanks for the write up morerunner. I am about to replace my alternator. Now that you have had the Mean Green in for over a year, any thoughts? Did you find anything useful to do with the extra current capability?
