    Question for the audio gurus

    The answer to this question may be buried in the depths of another thread but I can’t find it. so, apologies to the search warriors in advance. I have an ‘03 LX with nav. I don’t want to do a delete. The ML system is fine but it’s rather flat for me. I want to add some bass. I am buying this...

    Early vs. Late 2003s

    I went to grab a couple of coil packs for my ‘03 LX and noticed that there’s a part number for pre-August 2003 and a different one for post-August. Are there known differences that I’m unaware of between early versus late ‘03 models?

    Trim color question

    I have a blue vapor metallic 2003 LX 470 but I’m unsure of the trim color. Does anyone know the paint code and/or trim name?

    Wanted  Dallas, TX - ‘03 LX wheels

    Wanted  Texas: ‘06/‘07 LC or LX

    ***Update** found one! I’m in the market for an ‘06/‘07 100 series in the Dallas, TX area. I’m willing to drive for a well maintained, rust free vehicle. I’m open to higher mileage rides that have been treated well. I have an aversion to black - but will consider all other colors. I sold my...

    “Floating” feeling

    My ‘04 has 133k miles on it’s a little hard to handle on the highway. It’s not scary feeling- you just have to be constantly “micro-correct”. I guess another way of saying: it doesn’t track well. Maybe this is typical. It just doesn’t inspire a ton of confidence for a long, fatiguing road trip...

    Older ARB on an ‘04

    I’ve searched and can’t find my answer. Can anyone advise about putting an early model ARB front bumper on an ‘04? Links to threads would be awesome. Reason I’m asking is I have a chance to pick up a used bumper for cheap.

    Faded trim fix

    I’m not blazing a new trail here but thought I’d share my project anyhow. The silver strip on the side trim was badly faded on my Cruiser. This isn’t the greatest picture but the PS front door was likely the worst of the areas. I bought some of this: Along with a new Exacto and a 72”...

    2004 LC gas pedal fix

    A week ago you could have described my gas pedal as anything but smooth. It felt like it moved in 1/8” increments - very incrementally and annoying. I didn’t realize this was a widespread problem until I mentioned it in a post in the “what have you done” thread. I received a few questions so...

    Wind noise

    I had another thread going but it was getting pretty subjective and cluttered so thought I'd start a fresh one. Original-ish Post: I bought an '04 Land Cruiser a couple of months ago. The previous owner had the windshield replaced with aftermarket glass. The glass was leaking when I bought it...

    “Resting” gauge needle positions

    So you guys might have seen my post about replacing my stepper motors to fix my non working gauges. Good news is that they all work perfectly. Bad news is that somewhere in the process I might have mis-marked the stopping points aka the place the needles settle to when the LC is off. Can one...

    How much wind noise is too much?

    I know this has been covered to a degree elsewhere but wanted to see if I can squeeze anything more out of the brain trust. I bought an '03 LC. The previous owner had at some point replaced the windshield. It leaked and there was a fair amount of wind noise that seemed to be originating from the...

    Squeaks and noises after dusty travels

    So, first a little context - I just bought an ‘04 LC (127k miles). I decided to dive right into it and re-boot CVs, pack wheel bearing, new shocks, brakes, sway bar end links, fluids etc. and the rest of the standard baselining. I cranked torsion bars and had the alignment done. New tires, too...

    Rear brake dust plug part number

    Does anyone know the part number or where I can source the little rubber plugs for my rear disc/drum e brake adjuster hole? I can’t for the life of me find a replacement.

    Steering column squeak (with video) HELP!

    I realize this topic is somewhat of a dead horse but I wanted to share the video of my squeak to see if anyone can diagnose it relatively easily and direct me to a thread on how to fix it. Thanks in advance, guys!

    Rear a/c - to run or not to run....

    This is probably a goofy question but do you guys leave your rear a/c on all the time? Off all the time? Only run when you have people in the backseat? I've noticed it quietens the cab down quite a bit when it's shut off. Does it save on fuel to only run the front or does the front just have to...

    FN Five Star “100 Spec” purchase

    I’ve buried testimony about my experience with FN within several other threads but I’m so pleased I think it deserves its own thread. I bought my LC a few months ago and the wheels were just nasty. I was quoted between $100-$130 each to blast and re-coat them. I would also have needed to buy...

    2004 Land Cruiser Gauge Cluster FIXED! How-To

    I had an issue that a number of others are experiencing with their 100 series. Four out of six of my gauges worked only about 10% of the time. The rest of the time they were just dead. Research led me to believe that my stepper motors needed replacing. These are little "tomb-shaped" (black in...
