    A/C not working... Questions for DIY diagnostics

    Hello, all: With the weather getting warmer and more humid, I have noticed that my A/C is no longer turning on, as in, the compressor doesn't engage when switched on. It stopped working sometime over the winter, and was working last fall. I am assuming that the refrigerant volume/pressure is...

    Less aggressive, more "road oriented" AT tires...

    I'd like to hear experiences from those that are running less aggressing AT tires on their Hundy. Currently, I've got C-load rated Toyo Open County C/Ts in 285/75-16. I've had these now for about 3.5 years and 35K miles. Pros: I like the way they look, the driving/road manners are fine for their...

    DIY windshield replacement?

    Hello, all: I posted a little over a year ago about the my difficulties in finding a competent windshield replacement (Windshield replacement... a rant. - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/windshield-replacement-a-rant.1251542/). Long story short, I have still not gotten the windshield replaced...

    A new problem… ABS, VSC TRAC, VSC OFF, Brake, and Active TRAC lights all on…

    This has not been a good couple of days for the Cruiser. After changing my tstat over the weekend and chasing down my low voltage problem, now I’ve got all five of these ABS/traction lights on. They popped on this afternoon while driving. No alarm, and no CEL. Brake performance is fine, and the...

    Please help… advice on weird charging system gremlins…

    Last summer, I replaced my alternator a second time, after the O’Reilly Ultima reman died suddenly after 8 months. So, I am currently just over 12 months on a Toyota reman from the dealer. Since I’ve installed it, Scangauge has always shown voltage of between 12.6 and 14.0 when running, never...

    Looking for some windshield help...

    Hi, all: I'm not a club member, but I am hoping someone can help me out with some local-ish advice regarding a 100-series windshield replacement. I posted a rant about this over on the 100-series tech forum awhile back (Windshield replacement... a rant. -...

    Windshield replacement... a rant.

    I posting this to both vent and to see if any other Mudders have had similar issues getting your Hundy's windshields replaced. Okay, so we all know that this isn't exactly a "standard" windshield replacement, but it's not much different from a Camry, which has got to be one of the most standard...

    New muffler...

    My original factory muffler was practically toast at almost 260K. It had split lengthwise along the side seam, and I temporarily had to tie it together with bailing wire just to stop the rattle and vibration. I was planning to get the Bosal aftermarket replacement muffler but, with it being...

    Recommended windshield shops in St. Louis, MO?

    Here's a question for any St. Louis, MO area Mudders: does anyone have a recommendation for a good auto glass shop for windshield replacement? I know the LCs have a "special" procedure, what with the rivets, etc. My current windshield is cracked, and I anticipate it to get worse as the...

    Muffler replacement options?

    My muffler (the center one, not the rear resonator) has been going out for some time, and it really starting rattling/roaring this weekend. The outer "skin" of the muffler completely rusted through along the seam on the outside, and the bottom half was hanging down. Poking around on it, there is...

    Seeking advice on shock and rear spring replacement... no lift

    When I purchased my truck, the P/O had replaced the shocks with Monroe something or others... they are at least a couple of years old at this point, and they are getting tired. Some recent, heavily loaded road trips and camping trips have made this abundantly clear! I was originally considering...

    Input/confirmation requested... likely bad alternator

    Hello, all, and sorry for the long-winded nature of this post. However, I am seeking some input on what I am fairly certain is a bad alternator. By way of background, the truck is a 2000 Land Cruiser, 250K miles. Battery was replaced upon purchase with a NAPA Legend 24F, approximately 19 months...

The immediate accessory that I am looking to add are some aux lights to my new TJM T17. However, I want to build a six-circuit up-fitter module and switch panel--a...

    Tim's Lame-Ass Build Thread

    Having just passed the 1-year ownership anniversary of our Hundy--and having done some minor (and not-so-minor) repairs and upgrades over the past year with some more planned to come--I thought I'd start an ongoing build thread. I called this the lame-ass build thread because, quite honestly...

    Repair front bumper or replace w/ aftermarket... pros and cons (help me spend my money!)

    I have a dilemma. My front bumper cover has some minor collision damage, some from the p/o, some from a woman hitting me a few months ago while parallel parking. I had originally planned to repair and repaint the the bumper myself, but now I’m getting cold feet. So far, I spent about 5...

    Any DEFINITIVE way to test a bad ignition coil WITHOUT a CEL?

    My truck (2000, 243K) has been suffering an intermittent misfire (I think) for about the past week. However, it has thrown no code. It tends to be worse in the morning or otherwise on a cold engine. Every couple of seconds, I get a small "bump" sensation (similar to the AC compressor kicking...

    Aftermarket roof racks... what do folks have experience with?

    I am researching aftermarket racks, and my head is spinning! I am hoping that folks can give me some first-hand impressions... what you have, what you like, etc. Here are my criteria for use: I want a flat platform, with the most flexible tie-down options possible. Anticipated uses include...

    Coating/painting rocker panels...

    My 2000 has a small amount of surface rust on the passenger side hem flange under the rocker panel next to the rear wheel well. I would like to address this before it gets worse, and also coat the rocker panels and hem flanges with bedliner or some other tough, dark colored coating. (I really...

    “Total” brake failure yesterday... accumulator pump motor CONFIRMED

    I experienced a “total” break failure in my ‘00 Cruiser yesterday. I’ve had the truck since January. During the first couple of weeks of ownership, I got the ABS/TRAC/Brake lights on the dash with the alarm... always on a cold morning first start. It would typically go away after 30 to 40...

    Weird no-start issue...

    Had a weird no-start issue this morning with my 2000 LC. But first, let me back up to something that happened on Saturday, which may or may not be related... This past Saturday (two days ago), I was pulling into a parking spot when the truck died. What happened is, the radio (which is...
