    100 Series Leather Seat Replacement

    I bought a set from Land Cruiser Heaven last year. They sent LX covers by mistake but took back no question asked even though I had them for a year! Now that's customer service! Then they sent the correct LC ones and I had them prof. installed. I've done upholstery work and it's a real PITA...

    Technician reports rodent activity in engine compartment, recommends guest take action to eliminate

    Reading dealership maintenance records can be revealing. I've seen multiple reports of "rodent activity in engine compartment" by dealership technicians servicing TLC's and LX's alike. I've found nesting material in the engine bay of my BMW, and they destroyed the AC wiring harness in my...

    Oil & Filter Change for LC200

    This is where I really going to miss my 100 - that thing was such a breeze for oil changes. Just suck the oil out thru the dipstick tube, unbolt the cover and replace the spin on filter. It even has a little sheet metal piece that directs the flow of oil toward your pan so you hardly spill a...

    Technician reports rodent activity in engine compartment, recommends guest take action to eliminate

    Does this make the otherwise really nice LX 570 a "no go"?

    Complete Transmission Flush DIY - VIDEO

    I checked the color of my fluid on filter paper and it is nowhere near as dark as yours. Compared to fresh fluid it is a slightly darker red, but definitely not contaminated with clutch lining. This fluid had a dealership change 180,000 miles ago. I've been seriously considering a flush, but...

    DIY: Replacing heater hose pipe T's *important*

    I think I might have set a new record for heather tee life - the hot side finally went on my '03 after about 270,000. Please don't wait this long, but now you know the upper limit! Luckily the wife was right near the shop and did not drive it long enough to ruin the motor. It's one of those...

    For Sale 2007 Land Cruiser, the Ultimate Mall Crawler/Curb Hopper

    Beautiful rig, but 11 mpg? That's reality - if you want to play you gotta pay. I'll stick with my stock rig and 12-18 mpg. Sadly like most Landcruisers it doesn't see much dirt and it's mostly on "mall duty". Other issue is that one trip out on a trail will put Okie pinstriping on that...
