    Immediately after installing an HKB booster chip I had sitting around, my fuel gauge returned its first accurate reading in months.

    Wasn't expecting that benefit, but I'll take it! In case you were wondering, I installed an AGM battery 8 months ago, several months before the fuel gauge started to act up.

    The screw for the OEM keyless remote is available under a standalone part #

    For over a year, it was impossible to sufficiently tighten my screw to keep it from slowly backing out. I eventually lost the screw, and based on my past discussion with the parts guy at a local Toyota dealership and old posts on here, it was clear the screw was not available from Toyota. A...

    Parts to stockpile in anticipation of decreasing availability

    I've had my 100 series for about a year now and read this forum regularly for some time before I purchased my LC. It is my impression that the list of OEM parts that are no longer available for the 100 series is gradually increasing, which shouldn't be much of a surprise to anyone. I plan to...

    Are our seat covers real leather or vinyl?

    I haven't had an occasion to take a seat cover off yet, and without doing that, it can be fairly hard to distinguish between a utilitarian type leather and a faux leather.

    Good looking, relatively inexpensive steelies?

    Due to my parking situation (low ceiling parking ramp), I will need to run my stock wheels and tires 99% of the time and install my larger tires on an "as needed" basis. Given this reality, I don't see a reason to spend big money on wheels that will be sitting in my garage most of the time. Does...

    Windshield wiper interval too fast

    The slowest available windshield wiper setting on my '06 LC results in a wiper interval that is way too fast for 90% of rain situations, which requires me to cycle the wipers on and off constantly. Is this normal? If not, what could be the cause?

    While rebooting front drive shaft, inboard point's inner race slid right off shaft

    Edit: should be inboard joint. phone posting strikes again. The FSM and all of the writeups mention using a brass hammer or some other form of delicate hammering to remove the inner race, but I could slide it off easily after removing the inboard snap ring. I'm wondering if I have identified...

    Help with adjusting the glove box to obtain proper fit after removal and reinstallation

    I am dealing with the ubiquitous leaking evaporator enclosure issue. Last night, I removed the glove box to rule out the heater core as the source of liquid on my floor mat and confirm it was the evaporator enclosure. When reinstalling my glove box, I was unable to get it to fit correctly. The...

    Squeak/creak in the front driver seat when I shift my weight

    My seat has developed an annoying creaking sound whenever I shift my weight, either from going around a corner or repositioning myself. My efforts to diagnose the cause is complicated by the fact that my wife doesn't have enough lead in her ass to replicate the sound (I'm not complaining!)...

    Inner AND outer anti-squeal shims?

    I'm doing the brakes on my 06 cruiser. The reason I was doing the brakes the is because the back brakes had an annoying squeal when the rear rotors were relatively cool and I applied a very specific amount of pressure. This being a Toyota brake job (was a GM guy before I bought my cruiser)...

    Would a -25mm offset wheel work on a Land Cruiser

    I am clueless when it comes to tires and wheels, and I was wondering if this wheel would work with a 100 Series. FN Wheels – FN Wheels Five Star From searching the forum, I am inclined to think it won't since it appears the factory wheels have a positive offset of 30mm, correct?

    I've been searching for a clean looking, black or dark gray, five or six spoke aftermarket wheel

    And I can't seem to find it anywhere. I don't want any faux details, or anything else that garish. Can someone point me in the right direction?

    I've caught the Land Cruiser bug: need an opinion on this POS 40-Series

    1978 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 Project Landcruiser A semi-retired body man is a good acquaintance of mine, and he is a wizard when it comes to metal work. If I would buy something like this, I would drop it off at his place, and tell him he will have for it a year, work your magic. With the...

    What do you use to measure engine oil?

    I have always bought engine oil in 5qt jugs and bought in bulk. Up to this point, I always eyeballed it and confirmed I was close enough with the dipstick. If I were to be completely honest, there were probably a couple times when I ended up overfilling and should have drained out a bit but...

    Is an Intelligent Tester II (Toyota's handheld diagnostic tool) as capable as Techstream?

    With respect to our 100 Series? I understand Techstream is necessary for newer Toyotas, but when our Cruisers were sold, all Toyota techs had to work with were Mastertechs, which the FSM refers to as the original Intelligent Tester.

    My office's garage has a strict 6'5" limit; options with respect to a lift, wheels, tires?

    I am new to 100s, and I will be picking up my 2006 Cruiser (w/o AHC) next weekend. I had planned on lifting it 2.5 inches, getting a set of TRD 17 in wheels, and Cooper All Terrain tires, but I think I am going to run out of room in my office's parking garage. The height limit is strict on...

    New Orleans Pre-Purchase Inspection Recommendations Needed ASAP! (willing to pay well!)

    I have an offer in on a 100 series that is contingent on satisfactory pre-purchase inspection. It is at a dealership, and while they don't have a problem with an independent pre-purchase inspection, they are not going to reserve it for me in the meantime. I have substantial experience in the...

    What should be expected when purchasing 100 series without a well-documented service history?

    Certain issues have been well trodden here and don't necessarily need to be rehashed, such as AHC, timing belts and water pumps, and yet other issues should be obvious, such as the possible need to replace belts and hoses. Assuming a 100 series presents well during a long, extensive test...
