    Trickle Charger - 2001 LX 470

    I have the HF one as well and doesn't do much if anything for me. Especially in winter in Montana where i don't see the sun. I have had good success with a cheap black and decker maintainer from Amazon that i wired a cigarette lighter adapter up to. I did jump the relay in the fuse box so the...

    Recent windshield replacement: screws used vs rivets, am I doomed?

    Be careful on the install. I put a yoga mat down on the windshield and it worked great. Good luck

    Busted ignition - ignition cylinder rod replacement

    It’s a pretty easy fix. Getting the old part out is the hardest part.

    Ignition switch broken...help?!

    I believe that confusion is that the land cruisers didn’t have tilt wheel on the 98-03 like the Lexus part that your looking at did. Or maybe the cruiser added tilt in 03 only and there’s a overlap. My lx is a 99 and the 98-03 PN fit but since I don’t have a 03 I can’t guarantee 💯

    Ignition switch broken...help?!

    Cut a slot in a deep socket like my previous post and that will get you around until the part arrives.

    Busted ignition - ignition cylinder rod replacement

    That's what I would recommend. I just keep my cut up socket along with the basic tools to get me home if it was to break again. It's easy to get the ignition out if need be.

    Busted ignition - ignition cylinder rod replacement

    It’s easy to get the truck going as long as you have the tools and then do the replacement once your home. I would definitely at least order up the eBay part and keep the tools in the truck now. It’s not if but when unfortunately.

    Busted ignition - ignition cylinder rod replacement

    So I cut a 10mm deep socket and keep a extra long extension on hand along with a wire coat hanger piece about a foot long. The coat hanger can fish out the broken piece and then the socket will grab the half that’s still in there so you can start it. Just make sure the key is close to the...

    Busted ignition - ignition cylinder rod replacement

    I installed this one a few years ago and repaired my factory one as a back up. https://www.ebay.com/itm/373230117230?mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&siteid=0&customid=&campid=5337589904&toolid=10001&mpt=9238554

    Busted ignition - ignition cylinder rod replacement

    Keep the old one in the glove box just in case. I have a socket that I cut a slot in that will turn the cylinder if it breaks just in case. Of course you still need the key next to the sensor for the antitheft. I drove around with a socket and a extension as my ignition for a few weeks until it...

    Poll on total brake failure in 100 series

    Smart. It’s a quick swap. Takes longer to bleed. Now you don’t have to worry about it. Get yourself a spare on of these as well and thank me later. https://www.ebay.com/itm/373230117230

    Radiator Hose block heater?

    Thanks. Yeah I got one of those but it doesn’t seem to work like a coolant heater.

    Radiator Hose block heater?

    Scrambling to get my chores done prior to winter. It was mid 30's already this morning here and was thinking of trying a block heater this year. Don't want to deal with a freeze plug install and was wondering if anyone here is running the kind that you splice into the radiator hose.
