    Springs

    It is time for new springs on my 2004 100 series. I do not want a lift, although I know new springs will give me one. ARB website does not give me part numbers, only descriptions and a dealer locator. I will do all four. My searches are coming up with different part numbers for the same...

    Unexplained thunk.

    2004 Land Cruiser. 246k. I recently had the lower ball joints, outer tie rod ends and upper control arms, all sway bar bushings and sway bar end links replaced as well as a alignment. All four shocks, calipers, rotors, wheel bearings. Now the steering is really tight and there is a thunk in...

    Aircon and heat

    04 100 series Toyota. The rear HVAC only blows hot. The front will not blow onto the floor, only the dash vents or defroster. The front only has cold air now, no heat, turn aircon off and I get ambient temp air from the outside. So, I know my actuators are bad, does anyone have the part...

    Front HVAC fan stopped working

    Out of the blue the front blower stopped working on my ‘04 Cruiser. No nothing. All fan speeds are dead, no warning. No noises. No sometimes works sometimes not, just dead. I beat it with my hand to see if the motor was just seized, nothing. I have no idea where to start on this thing. I just...

    Broken power antenna again and no more...

    So my power antenna broke again. That’s twice in 6 months. The Tundra mod was $65 in parts last time I checked and a couple hours of your time. This took me literally 10min to do. Remove the power antenna the same way if you were going to replace a broken one with a new power antenna. Then...

    Fuel quality vs fuel economy

    Fuel threads come up often. I get my fuel at Costco 99.8% of the time because it is a Top Teir fuel and average’s $.30/gal less than anywhere else. Some say that Costco dilutes their fuel with ethanol and that is why their fuel is lower in price. So I decided to test this as best I could in a...

    TPS....reports....

    Last weekend I spent the day off roading with a group here in West Michigan, it was a fund raising event to raise money for kids with cancer. It was a group lead event, about 50 trucks in all, mostly Jeeps, only about 3 Toyota's including me. Anyway, after the event I went to pull out onto a...

    Broken MFD

    Does anyone know of anyone with a bad MFD they want to get rid of? I replaced my screen and broke a connector on one of the circuit boards, mine is repairable but no one has the equipment to fix it. And Google isn't much help as everyone is closed by time I get out of work and I work and hour...

    Busted nav

    so my nav screen back lighting was going bad. Needed to warm up to see the screen. Bought a replacement screen brand new off of ebay for $30. It is the OEM screen. I was installing it and I broke a ribbon connector on one of the circuit boards. I did the best I could and glued it back...

    Power antenna won't come out

    So this weekend I went to the car wash and forgot to put my antenna down and so it bent at the base, it still works, but because it is bent it will not go all the way down and it looks like ass. So I bought a new antenna, undid the retaining nut, turned the stereo on, and pulled...the nylon...

    Rear O2's

    I need to replace my rear oxygen sensors but the studs on the flange on the exhaust are to rusted, if I try to loosen the bolts the studs will snap. On the passenger side the bolts are rusted away. Completely gone. So what is my best course of action? '04 Land Cruiser, 175k, original O2's.

    Rust hole

    So starting last year I noticed some paint bubbling right in front of the drivers rear tire, didn't think to much of it with the idea that I'd take care of it in the spring. Well spring came and there was a small hole, then it kept getting bigger and quick. I could not figure out why it was...

    Finally have her back.

    So my sunroof was broken by a stone a few weeks ago,glass coverage on insurance so no big deal. I had to drive it for a week and a half before it could get into the shop, it took four days to fix. They had to remove the headliner because there was glass under it, and they had to remove the 1st...

    Sun roof...

    Yesterday a semi kicked up a stone, I heard it hit glass but thought it was the windshield. Didn't see anything so I shrugged and whatever'd. In my way into work this morning SWOOSH and rattles. Opened the sun shade and was doused with broken glass. Got to work and this is what I found.

    Tractor pulls

    Has anyone ever done a truck/tractor pull with their 100 series? How far did you get? There is one around here that does them, just a bunch of people getting together for fun, nothing serious. Farm trucks and tractors. I have thought about joining in, but I don't want to break anything...

    Brake fluid amount.

    I did brakes yesterday and found out that both of my front calipers are bad, so they will be getting replaced sometime in the future. How much brake fluid do these things hold? I know I will use extra flushing and bleeding the system, and the resevoir on these things are huge. So, how much...

    Brake pads

    So I need new brake pads, no big deal. I started shopping, AutoZone wants $70 per axle for TRW premium ceramic brake pads. Amazon, exact same brake pads...$50 for BOTH axles. Before Amazon AutoZone was my go-to place for all car parts, but now...how are they even still in business?

    Power window switch

    Hello everyone. I'm in need of some idea's please. 2004 Land Cruiser, drivers window goes down just fine, will not go back up until it feels like it. Sometimes opening and closing the door makes it work, other times not. All other windows work perfect from that switch. Pulled the master...

    Electrical issues 100% solved

    I was having weird electrical issues on my '04 LC, water was getting into the underhood fuse box. I thought I had solved the problem but then it came back. Until I opened up the fuse box, I removed the bottom tray, removed all of the relays and fuses. Sprayed electrical contact/corrosion...
