Hi all,
Never worked on brakes before but found out my rear caliper is stuck.
Watched videos on YouTube and took it off the rotor.
I opened the slides screws, they look clean inside.
Pushed the pad against the piston with a 9" C-Clamp, worked.
Started the car and pumped the brakes until ABS...
Decided to open the cover yesterday and this is how it looked.
Looks very good to me!
Very smooth, with no cracks.
Thought I share the pictures!
At 80k miles now, driving ~3k miles per year, will definitely change it at 100k mark!
I over tourqued one of the 3 screws when I put it back and...
During the last 2 years, I have been driving my LC for about 3k miles per year, mostly short distances of 2 or 5 miles between home and work.
I have been using 5w-30 or 0w-30 M1 with YZZD3.
Engine has almost 80k miles.
No signs of condensation or foaming under the oil cap, always clean!

I am back!
After I sold Lexy last Christmas, I was looking forward to import a Nissan Patrol from
Japan, but for every Patrol I found there were over 20 Landcruisers. I failed to find a
Patrol for the right price, the scarcity of it makes it at least 40% more expensive than a...
Hi, so i took my lx to 3 shops for alignment, all of them couldnt figure it out, they tell me all adjustments on both sides of the tie rods are maxed out, and there are no more threads to adjust TOE.
I need to keep the steering wheel at 10 o'clock to drive straight. 2 shops suggested opening...
Hi Guys,
Now that I did Fins & Things, and Hells Revenge (didnt do Hells Gate and the tubs had high water level), I am just wondering how many of you actually take the Legendary 100 offroad, and what trail difficulty do you push your 100 to?
With exception to Hells Gate and the Tubs, my LX did...
Hey guys,
I have been overlanding North America for over 150 days now, I will be done with Moab this weekend, and was supposed to head to Colorado to do Alpine Loop and some passes but I arrived at the wrong time of year, I am not sure what to do now. Colorado is cancelled.
I might head back to...

Hello!
Reason to replace AHC:
Flushing AHC with new fluids before the trip helped improve the ride a bit but still rough. In Jasper, Alberta, the system started acting up and would raise the front to EXTRA H and back at N. I had to take the fuse out many time to reset it, but it ends up in...
Hello,
I have always used SHELL premium 91 in Canada for my previous bmw becuase i it has no ethanol.
But since i got my lx470 5 months ago, the manual said 87 or higher, and i tried 87, 89, 91 and not much difference in mpg, but pick up is better with 91, so i said stick to 87 since i dont...
Hello All,
Some of you know I am on a trip over North America, going great, except AHC is acting up.
I am planning to replace my AHC with OMEs or IronMan Pro Foam.
I just arrived in Portland, Oregon where I was referred to a number of shops but when I called them they said they are all booked...
Ok guys, this is the reason why I bought an SUV, a 100 series, it is for an overland trip that I have always wanted to do! :)
Originally I wanted to go from Dubai to Mangolia using my dad's Y61 Nissan Patrol, but didnt workout as I wanted. So I decided to do this trip instead.
Thankfully I...
Bought my LX with small steering rack leak that mechanics assured me is very minor, and in 3 months I never had to top off the fluids, but did flush the oil 3 times (turkey baster method) because I always had issues with the steering not being smooth. I thought the oil was old.
It feels like...
Hello,
I just installed these in my LX, 2003.
https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B072R4Y6TF/ref=pe_3034960_236394800_TE_dp_1
H1 for low beam and H3 for fog lights.
I love the look, true bright white, no blue hint whatsoever.
Makes the LX look modern :)
But the problem is that I cant close the bulb...
Hello,
Before going offroading this morning, I was doing check-ups,,,, decided to open the engine oil-fill cap, and saw this dry oil ,,,, is this evidence of sludge or dirt in the engine?
Previous owner said he always used synthetic.
I got the car 3 months ago at 235km, now it is at 241km.
I...
Hello,
I had my LX470 for 3 months now, AHC was working flawlessly, but I have been offroading almost every weekend since I got it for the purpose of a trip that I should have started already.
This weekend and the weekend before, AHC refused to go up to H, it just blinks then stays in N, one...
I have Engine light + VCS + VSC lights on during an offroad trip.
A guy plugged in his OBD2 and said it is the catalytic converter.
The oxygen sensor there was rattling, the screw was missing the nut I guess, so we tightened it with wire.
My question:
now I wanna get my own OBD2 so I can get...
