About a month ago, while on a family trip, I decided it was warm enough to open the sunroof, on my 2003 LC. It retracted a few inches, and then would stop and close. So I tilted it up to have a look at what was going on, and although it looked fine, it wouldn’t close properly; the rear of the...
Out on a short trip with family. Went to open the sunroof and it would not slide back. It’s getting caught up maybe an inch or so sliding back. I’m able to close it though.
So I tried to tilt it up instead, and that worked fine at least. But when I went to close it, the rear rubber seal is...
Hi folks,
I’ve posted in the past that I have a leak in the rear lift gate (top left,) which is only a problem when going through the car wash. I’ve been meaning to order new weather stripping, and I’ve already sealed the upper break light and that wasn’t the issue apparently. Problem is...
Good afternoon,
Saturday morning an old Mercedes (from 2000) crashed into my truck. The collision was his driver’s bumper side to my diver’s side bumper.
Overall the damage doesn’t look terrible. I had it at my local mechanic and an appraiser from the insurance company looked at it today and...
Hi all,
I'm trying to find a part number for a plastic guard that goes across under the driver side to the passenger side. The material is plastic. It's probably 3 to 4 feet wide, and maybe 3 feet long, kind of shaped like a trapezoid.
I don't know what exactly this part is called, making...
Hi all,
I’m planning to drive my family down to Disney World in April. It’s about 1300 miles each way. What maintenance should I be doing before such a long trip? What spare parts should I have on hand?
Or should I just rent something and save my truck from a 2600 mile drive?
Note: the truck...
Hi all,
2003 LC, 205k.
The last 5k miles or so, whenever I’m at a stop, in drive, with the breaks on, the truck’s engine tone lowers, and I feel slight vibration. If I put it in neutral, the vibration goes away, and RPM/engine tone gets back to normal.
Symptoms
Just a few days ago I also...
I’m wondering if there is any way to roll the windows down with the remote on a 2003 LC? I figured if it was at all possible, someone on this forum would know.
I did a quick search but didn’t see much.
Thanks!
Hello,
I have a TJM Winch Tray (957MTT1581C) for sale. This can be used to do a hidden winch mod on an OEM bumper, which was my original plan.
I don’t think I will ever do the hidden winch install on my 2003 LC, plus I just went in on the Metaltech 4x4 group buy so looking to get some money...
Hello,
About a month ago, I started hearing a very slight high pitched whining noise. It is almost unoticeable. The pitch changes while accelerating (not how loud it is, just the pitch gets higher the more you press on the gas). It almost sounds like interference from the speakers, but I hear...
2003 LC. My CEL light came on today during a short drive. Scanned and it’s showing P0031, Heater Control Circuit Low. I haven’t reset it yet to see if it comes back.
I searched the forums and saw a couple of posts that stated replacing the faulty sensor fixed the issue for most, but...
How do...
This noise just started this morning.
I drove the truck all around Nantucket, MA a few weeks ago (beaches, beach trails, etc). I've been driving it daily since then, almost a week, but yesterday it just sat in my driveway all day.
Then this morning I went to move it, and when I popped it in...
Yep, I looked through the FAQ, searched a bunch, and what I've found is there are a lot of opinions on tires, and tire sizes, and it's all quite confusing.
I am sorry for beating a dead horse... but with all the information available I findy myself unable to make any decisions. Analysis...
Hello,
I've owned my 2003 LC for almost a month now. It drives well, sounds great, and looks good (IMO).
I've been trying to figure out a vibration noise that only happens when I have a lot of people (weight) inside the truck, during acceleration. I decided to take it to a dealership for...
I’m having a difficult time tracking down a part. In the third row / cargo space, there are little plastic retaining clips you can slide the seat belts into to keep them out of the way (at lease that’s what I always used these clips for). They kind of look like a tie clip.
The right side one...
Hi,
I need to replace my license plate lights (the whole unit / lenses and backing).
The plastic is so brittle, due to age, that they both broke while I was doing some work on the lift-gate.
OEM lenses are $15 each, which I don’t mind, but I’ve seen these LED ones on eBay:
2x Error Free LED...
Hello,
I’m two weeks into ownership of a 2003 LC now with just over 197k miles. Getting close to 1k miles.
This morning, although I’ve used it a lot in the past few weeks, my sunroof was not working well.
Closing it from the open tilted position, it makes a single thumping noise but closes...
I was following a thread which detailed how to install a rear view camera on an LX470 (I have a 2003 LC), using a Naviks unit which hooks up to the Nav unit.
Once I had everything hooked up, I turned the truck on and got ready to pop it in reverse and see if the camera worked. Before I did, I...
So, I bought a 2003 LC last week.
196,600 miles on it. It spent most of its life in Vermont (1st owner), then 3 - 4 years in Illinois (2nd owner), and finally is now mine. The last owner had receipts showing the belt etc was replaced at 140k. The service records on Toyota.com/owners shows it...
