    For Sale Most recent 200 Series purchase prices

    Yeah, it was Tommy. He honestly seemed like a good guy when we talked to him but then he started getting into some probably sales techniques where he was trying to create a sense of urgency which I guess is maybe just part of the used car salesman's DNA but it turned my friend off and he ended...

    For Sale Most recent 200 Series purchase prices

    What did you pay for that sled? I was looking at it too but for some reason, the guy selling it kept doing shady stuff like saying it would be going to the Toyota dealer for $54K which didn't make sense because it had already been on eBay and didn't sell at that price. It seemed kinda silly to...

    Busted ignition - ignition cylinder rod replacement

    Yeah, it wasn't that bad. I was struggling, partly because I didn't really know what I was doing but also because if you look at the part, It has to go in pretty far and I wasn't able to get it in until I took the switch off. Even then, I had trouble getting the new part in but I eventually got...

    Busted ignition - ignition cylinder rod replacement

    I finally got it done. I had a heck of a time getting the old broken piece out and then getting the new one in all the way. I ended up taking the ignition switch off and that made it easier to get the new one seated properly.

    Busted ignition - ignition cylinder rod replacement

    Hi Everyone, I joined this club and I am having a tough time getting the new piece in and I realized that mine must have broken before and now I don't have the larger of the two little springs for the brass plates. Does anyone know where I could get on of those?

    Which Aftermarket Seat Covers to Buy in 2021

    Another thumbs up for the Coverados. Nice snug fit with very little bunching. They weren't too hard to install and the armrests were easy to notch out for, I just used an electric hot knife. I use my 100 as a contractor rig and they will serve my needs well.

    Power steering issues

    I agree. I was planning on doing this. Others have said that the larger vacuum hose was a 5/8" diameter and the return line was a 3/8". is that what you bought? I am pretty sure these are already aftermarket hoses and I don't really think the OEM ones are worth it if it's just these. For the...

    Power steering issues

    It was on the vacuum side of the reservoir but down where it meets the pump. No clue how it happened but my only guess is that the stop leak was enough to change something internally and cause it to leak. The clamp was pretty loose so I could see how that might happen.

    Power steering issues

    Alright, now I feel dumb. Not sure if it was just a coincidence but it turns out one of the hoses coming off the reservoir was very loose at the pump. Tightened the clamp back up and all seems fine now. Someone has been in there before because those weren't stock hose clamps and they must have...

    Power steering issues

    Hi All, I tried searching but couldn't find anything that addresses my issue. I have been having some pretty serious issues with my power steering. What started out as a small drip two days ago has spiraled into having serious foaming and overflowing out of the reservoir. I had a slow leak...

    What are you guys doing for insurance – do any of you have an agreed-upon value for your rig?

    Sorry for the delayed response. I actually don't use Safeco anymore. I am using Auto Owners now. I would have to check, but I think my 80 is insured up to $25,000 and my 100 is around the same, maybe a little less. Hope that helps.

    Groaning sound coming from AHC 2002 Lexus LX 470.

    I installed the new sensor today and all seems fine now. I would note that I think the problem with my old sensor was the little ball joint on the arm that bolts on. It was basically seized due to lack of grease and probably some rust and the seal was compromised. Not sure if I could have just...

    8940760010 SENSOR SUB-ASSY, HEIGHT CONTROL, REAR Toyota 1 226.45$ I just copied this off the order on Partsouq. Shipping to me will be less than $14 and it will likely be wrapped in like a half a roll of tape. I picture them throwing the packages on the plane as it takes off because it's...

    Partsouq was $200 less than McGeorge as a reference point for anyone that needs one of these. My local Toyota dealer gives me around 20% off "list" and doesn't charge me shipping but their prices are usually closer to McGeorge, minus the deal I worked out with them because I bought thousands of...

    That is great advice. I will plan on getting a new sensor. I can get them from the UAE for around $225 plus shipping. I may take a flyer on Rock Auto as I think I have a credit with them for some parts I returned for a friend's Camry. Denso and Aisin are usually good OEM alternatives but if they...

    Groaning sound coming from AHC 2002 Lexus LX 470.

    So, I do have an update. I decided that I would try using a hair dryer to warm up the rear sensor and sure enough, it started working again. I think water must have gotten into the wiring housing and was freezing in there and causing it do not be able to make the connection that needs to happen...

    Hi again folks, So, I thought everything was working as it should after my last effort using Tech Stream until this morning. It's pretty cold here again (-5F) and the rear is dropped again. The front appears to be normal and the light says I am in Normal. I can get the front to go up and down...

    OK, I finally got Techstream to work and I found some codes. I also tried moving it up and down and it seems to work fine for right now. I am wondering about my rear pressures. The front pressure seemed to vary between zero and a high of 11 or so in HIGH setting. I carry quite a bit of weight...
