    Replace Steering Wheel question...1999LC

    Mine 25 year old wheel is starting to wear out, leather is not looking so good. Some people have "recovered" wheel leather by wrapping new leather, etc....I would like to know if replacing the entire steering wheel is plug and play...or complicated? I have a 99LC. I'd consider an LX steering...

    Another LSeat Before/After

    This forum has been great...so I thought I would add a new before/after for seat leather replacement. After patching (too many times, but it did the job) with fake leather patches from Amazon, I finally got around the replacing my leather. I didn't have the time/confidence to do it myself. I...

    Short trip vs. Long trip

    I don't run my LC that often. In the summer it is out a few times a week. In the winter, I try to run it once a week or more. When I take it out, I usually go for a 10+ mile drive...more often than not get it up to 70+ on the interstate. Around town, I go 30-60mph depending the road. Is...

    Tire question- anyone go from Nitto Terra G2 to Michelin LTX m/s?

    Big change in road noise? Worth the loss of "looks" to a quieter/smoother tire? My 99 LC is more of a mall/family Cruiser as opposed to an off road Cruiser. I did add Sliders (expensive and better looking side steps) and a Prinsu roof rack. Having said that, I don't want to add a lift or...

    New MAF...pretty simple swap?

    I'm getting up there in mileage in hot Texas...I'm considering changing the MAF and buying a new OEM one. My truck idled kind of weird while in bumper-bumper (it was 105F+) for almost 2 hours...would kind of like to swap it just to be sure. No dash lights... Has anyone done this and how...

    Considering...Michelin Defender 285/60r18 for my 99 100 Series??>

    I currently have Nitto Terra Grappler G2's...they look cool, but I don't think I need the "off road" skills of these tires. Mine is more of a mall cruiser than anything. Anyone have them? If so, I assume they are XL? I believe you have to go to 285/65/r18's to get the E rated sidewall on the...

    Changing Fuel Filter...Question

    I'm trying to "break"/loosen the 14mm bolt/line from the Filter itself (19mm). Its on there good, and with lots of other lines in the area, I'm afraid to put too much force and cause the wrench to slip, or even worse, damage one of the rubber lines running close by. I'm afraid to put a little...

    Those who have changed Fuel Filter...difference?

    I took my LC on a long trip and while at idle for long periods of time (2 hours), the RPM's started getting a little rough. No lights, never stalled or ever close...but from a consistent 7-800RPM's at idle with AC, it would occasionally drop to 4-500 and jump right back up. It wasn't "rough"...

    Tire PSI question- 285/60r18

    Everyday street driving...what should I run? I've noticed when they get below 32psi, gas mileage gets noticeably worse. Not a big deal, just curious what you all think...i'm looking for "cold" psi, before I run the truck. I was thinking 34-35psi?

    99 LC- finally a few upgrades to my mall cruiser

    Purchased my 99 back in July 2017, 2-owner with a folder full of maintenance history/records. I first took care of much of the PM using OEM parts. I wanted it to be mechanically solid before I did anything else as this is mainly a mall Cruiser. Some things came up the first few years as it...

    Brake line question before Slider install

    WKOR sliders came in...will be doing install this weekend. There is that breakline that hugs the frame where the Slider U-Bolt will go. Any ideas on bending that brake line around the U-Bolt? I'm not scared, but a little nervous not to crack that line while I bend it. It looks like it will...

    Cost of front seat/leather replacement

    I need to replace mine...looks like they are $400-$500 through lseat...any idea what shops are charging in labor? Just need the front seats. I have the great interior...I assume that is what they call "Dim Grey"? I was thinking grey with black thread would look cool...is the perforated insert...

    A couple of questions about MT Sliders

    A couple of quick questions: * Are they angled at all, or are they 90 degrees from the body? * Any Ih8 discounts? * They fit "tight" to the body, as opposed to the bulky factory side steps...do your loved ones use them as "side steps" when getting in? Got 2 girls, wife is 5'...they miss the...

    Tighten down rear shock absorbers...

    So about 6 months ago, I installed new front/reach shock absorbers on my 1999 LC. I have developed a "clicking" sound when I go over bumps and can isolate and recreate it. It is the rear metal washers that are on either side of the 1/2 rubber washer. I don't think I put enough torque on the...

    1999 LC driving light bulb replacement

    I don’t want to break anything. Does the “plug” just twist or pull out of the headlight housing? Is it like the headlight “plug”, twist line up and it comes right out? if it twists, is it clockwise or counterclockwise? TIA
