    Recommendations for exhaust shop? Stuck O2 Sensors...

    Hey all, I've finally gotten around to dealing with replacing my O2 sensors in my 97 LX 450 but I probably should have looked at the damage before diving into it! The bolts holding on my O2 sensors are super rusted out and as much as I love working on my truck I think I might be in over my...

    Far from casing the joint! That was actually the first 40 i've ever seen in person so I was over the moon to take a look! Sorry to hear about the theft, people are jerks. If I ever drive by and see the garage is open i'll be sure to stop by and say hello - always nice to meet another Toyota nut!

    97 LX Power Steering Pump Sucking Noise

    Update: Flushed the old fluid out for ATF this weekend. It completely illuminated the groaning noise when turning the wheel. Fells like a new truck and I couldn't be happier. The sucking noise is still there however. Still only ever happens once per drive too. The mystery continues!

    97 LX Power Steering Pump Sucking Noise

    I did and it read right at the correct level for the temp - i'm leaning towards the idea that it's taking on air somewhere in the system. It also only makes the weird sucking noise once - Right after startup. It just groans from there on out till the system heats up, then it quiets down.

    97 LX Power Steering Pump Sucking Noise

    Hey all, I recently purchased a 97 LX450 and it's got a pretty loud groan in the power steering pump. The PO claimed that he had the pump replaced before selling and i suspect that normal power steering fluid was added and not ATF (I plan on doing a full flush this weekend) My question is on...

    Steering wheel cover

    I wrapped over the original leather. The kit I bought was sized to be placed over the original leather - it should be easy to tell once you have the new leather kit in hand, just wrap it over the original leather and see if the seam lines up or there's a big gap between the new leather. If...

    What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend?

    I picked up some new leather for my steering wheel - the color is a pretty close match to the original brown (slightly lighter than OEM) It took some time to get it right but with some patience I think it turned out quite nice. I purchased a pre-cut kit from amazon - the fitment was 8/10 but...

    Well I'm glad someone is driving it! (for now) It is a real shame that the rust cancer spread through all her vitals, it's really only a matter of time before she flat-lines :doh: Thanks again for the sale and the soon to come LED's. Let me know if any of you are having a wrenching day, I...
