    [PIC/VIDEO]: Serpentine belt tensioner markings. What does this mean? Squeak noise

    Without watching the video why not just replace the idler while you’re under there? Takes a few more seconds while the belt is off. My new idler did not spin freely at all and felt firm.

    Yakima slim shady on factory rack?

    I have this awning but had it mounted to a set of Thule aerobars instead of the factory crossbars. The only thing that might keep it from working with the factory bars would be if the width is too narrow for the Slim Shady clamps. The strength of the factory bars may also be a limiting factor so...

    Builds UZJ100 Hunting Rig Build

    I saw your truck from another thread and was struck by how great it looked. It turned out great. Any idea who makes that bumper and can you share which grill is that? It looks like completely factory. Thanks. Edit: I think I found the grill from SharkNet. Looks awesome.

    [PIC/VIDEO]: Serpentine belt tensioner markings. What does this mean? Squeak noise

    I would definitely change out the tensioner pulley since it is such an easy job similar to the idler. I had the same problem as you and changed out both around the same time. The tensioner bearing I would say was worse than the idler so that is more likely to be it. The noise has not returned...

    Replacing lug nuts?

    One of the first things I did to my cruiser was replace the locking lugs with regular. Had a bad experience with a person who damaged my wheel doing a state inspection trying to remove the lock. From the dealer, the regular lugs cost me $25 apiece. Ouch.

    How to turn off courtesy door lights?

    This. A small carabiner like what you use to hang keys on works perfectly. Mine does double duty as a place to hang a lamp when camping. Easiest way to solve this.

    2001 LC 100 Series Used 215k Advice

    You probably just scanned through the full essay like I did but timing belt has been done. :p 9k is exactly what I paid for my 2001 without timing belt service so I think that’s a good price. I would buy it.

    Dealer screwed up alternator replacement, HELP!

    I would offer to pay half and see what they say. Leaving a hole like that and waiting for it to possibly fail would be torture in my book. I would ask them to fix it with timing belt, water pump, etc as they indicated and offer to pay half. That’s roughly what it would cost to do all that...

    [PIC/VIDEO]: Serpentine belt tensioner markings. What does this mean? Squeak noise

    I am about to do this too and do not have much experience around an engine. Did you have to remove the serpentine belt to do this? If so, do I just crank the tensioner counter clockwise to loosen and pull it off? I hope this fixes my noise issue too. Thanks.

    PLEASE HELP 04 LC electrical mystery

    Did you disconnect the CD changer or just pull the magazine? I had to disconnect mine completely.

    PLEASE HELP 04 LC electrical mystery

    I had a very similar issue with my 2001 LC. If you search, you should find a few threads I responded to on this issue. Basically for the first year of ownership, my battery was draining weekly which switched to daily in the last 3 months. I was basically driving it like a Tesla with nightly...

    LC vs LX

    The point is that more LXs were sold vs. LCs as a factor in availability which I don’t think anyone would argue against. Based on the sales number table provided, the percentage total is 56/44 LX/LC. I don’t think anyone other than you is actually sweating that 4% variance. If you are, feel free...

    Small door speaker trim piece?

    This is for the drivers side speaker trim on my 2001 Land Cruiser but you should be able to use it to find the right hand side. 67492-60070

    heat shield rattle, please help

    This is an old thread but I have been experiencing the same rattling issue with the catalytic converter heat shield. I took it into the dealer and was quoted $700 to repair just the passenger side. Apparently, the entire exhaust has to be removed just to get the heat shield out. I ended up...

    Frame swap Update

    I also own a Jeep Wrangler TJ and can tell you the rust situation with those frames is much, much worse. I just got done doing a safetycap frame repair. The inline 6 is capable of going 200k miles but unfortunately the frames never make it that far. One reason why decent TJs are so rare. On the...

    Is your 100 your favorite vehicle?

    This is my all time dream car and the plan is to downsize to one of these one day. Yours is one of the nicest I have seen. Simply beautiful... thanks for sharing. Until then... my favorite vehicle right now has to be my Jeep TJ. I love owning the Land Cruiser but I bought it used and have only...

    Anyone running new Cooper AT3 XLT, LT, 4s?

    I just ordered a set of KO2s yesterday for my Jeep. Before pulling the trigger, the installer highly recommended the XLTs over the KO2s saying he has no idea why the KO2s were so popular. (He said it was probably from a bunch of "Toyota guys" on a forum somewhere which I thought was...

    Severe Delayed Batter Drain...

    I was hoping my battery drain issue days were behind me but unfortunately this does not appear to be the case. Per my last post, I ended up unplugging only the under seat navigation unit to keep the radio operational in my 01 LC with the JBL audio. This seemed to do the trick for almost 8 months...

    Is this what a stock GPS antenna looks like?

    That probably requires an entirely separate module. One after market antenna is probably not going to do anything. My Acura headunit supports iPod integration but I need to buy a special adaptor. Without it, the AUX button does nothing.

    Is this what a stock GPS antenna looks like?

    That is not factory so I doubt it has any integration with your head unit. It is most likely run using an FM transmitter. I had a similar hack looking setup on my LC as well. It is probably hard wired behind your dash too if you ever feel the need to rip it all out.
