    Purpose of the Turbo Pressure Sensor

    Also to mention if it's connected to the airbox side before the turbo it'll only be measuring vacuum at that stage

    Purpose of the Turbo Pressure Sensor

    To me it looks aftermarket, you could try check the ground and the brown wire looks pretty dodgy so you could try to resolder that if the connection is bad. Having the diesel the only sensor I have around the airbox is the air sensor which just tells you if there's a restriction eg clogged air...

    My only and hopefully last experience with Toyota Service Dept. Warning! Long Ranting Ahead!

    It makes me wonder if anyone has actually had a positive experience with dealerships these days

    01 LX 470 - Center Diff Stuck in Locked Mode

    I've had that happen, usually it's just gear wind up and driving straight in reverse, forward, reverse usually pops it out for me but seeing you've tried that, pull a drive shaft to relieve the tention? I'm not sure.

    Is it possible to delete breathers?

    Chuck a set of extended breathers on and buy some other cool stuff for the hundreds you'd spend on accumulators

    Bad Alternator?

    I'd be checking the glow plug relay, connections and earths associated before going out and buying an alternator, does your voltage gauge go down or is level while driving?

    What have you done to your 100 Series this week?

    Replaced the front door hinges. Now closes much better and lines up with the rear door again! I did the job myself sitting on my side step and supporting the door with my knees while removing and installing it. Fairly straightforward and satisfying job

    What have you done to your 100 Series this week?

    Fitted the custom Loncky leather steering wheel cover to the factory rubber one. No sewing experience prior if you're interested in these all you need to know is how to tie a knot and thread shoelaces lol.. Comes with enough string to do 5 wheels, it was a little tight in some places so in a few...

    Ironman Lift One Side Higher

    Did they install caster correction bushes? The diff relation to drive shaft looks a little funky from here too

    Ironman Stage One Questions

    It would be interesting to see how they came up with dropping the front diff on a 105 series lol The main thing to worry about on those are the caster correction bushes are installed in the correct orientation as they're eccentric. These allow the diff to maintain proper shaft angles in...

    How strong is the front bumper support?

    Carry two bottle jacks, plank of wood and a shovel it will get you out of 90%+ of situations safer and easier than a hi lift

    Auto gearbox about to fail and/or engine failure?

    You could check the EGR or intake isn't gummed up, Injector clean and compression test but if the engine isn't smoking or has excessive blowby probably won't be the case and those engines are built like a tank too. I'd be more inclined to get the trans looked at due to what you're describing

    Auto gearbox about to fail and/or engine failure?

    Is it the factory turbo engine or a 1hz with an aftermarket turbo?

    Ballpark estimate for work on 2000 LX 470 from craigslist, diagnosed by a toyota dealership (details in post)

    I like the four wheel alignment, I wonder how the secret dealership procedure works on the rear axle..

    2000 L470- Toyota transmission NLA-options?

    As stated above change out the fluids and check for debris / discolouration. There are many things that could potentially leave you stranded such as timing belt failure, brake failure, transfer case, alternator dying, battery dying, the engine literally falling out from under the car ect, I...

    Show us where you put your UHF antenna (please)

    If you haven't seen it GME do a 2.1 or 4.5 dBi gain on glass antenna which can be placed on the rear quarter glass, very discreet and 4.5 dBi is a very nice mix of you're living in a hilly area and have some flats, if you're interested in getting rid of the antenna off the exterior

    Tips for removing rear shock from lower mount?

    I'd put a jack under the axle and raise it a little as the shock is probably at full extension not allowing movement to pull it off, give it a go with a prybar and it should come off super easy
