    Rust on a potential purchase - what is this thing?

    Looking at a 100 series. Overall, looks clean except for this thing underneath. What is this a part of and how critical is it?

    Doors unlock but won't lock

    I had a crazy fix to this… I manually locked and unlocked the doors repeatedly and that seemed to loosen up whatever was physically sticking and now everything works fine. I might take the panels off and try to oil the moving parts to see if that helps. File this under “better to be lucky than...

    EVEN WORSE: NOT RESOLVED: HELP: What blew up?!

    EVEN WORSE: NOT RESOLVED: HELP: What blew up?!

    This is what I found as the ingredients in the Red and Pink coolants. Doesn’t this make the red abs IAT and not an OAT? What Are the Ingredients of Each Coolant? Toyota Pink Super Long Life Coolant: Water (7732-18-5) Ethylene Glycol (107-21-1) Diethylene Glycol (111-46-6) Sebacic Acid...

    EVEN WORSE: NOT RESOLVED: HELP: What blew up?!

    So I just got off of the phone with the shop and they “flushed” it using their machine before putting in the yellow. I’m getting the shop to flush the coolant system and put in Toyota red. In your experience are the vacuum flushing machines sufficient at completely flushing the system? It...

    What have you done to your 100 Series this week?

    Sliders look good. I’m been toying with the idea of getting some sliders custom made some so much is out of stock right now, but I’m concerned with the quality from someone who has never made them for our rigs before.

    EVEN WORSE: NOT RESOLVED: HELP: What blew up?!

    Thanks…. This is what I was afraid of……….. I’ve been doing a lot of reading tonight. Now is there a difference in composition of different coolants? I read that it may be ok to mix red+yellow but not red+green. And is there any problem if they actually did a complete flush and now it has just...

    What have you done to your 100 Series this week?

    I just had a shop change my radiator and use universal yellow coolant while it originally had Toyota red in it. I’m not sure they did a full flush. What risks am I running here?

    EVEN WORSE: NOT RESOLVED: HELP: What blew up?!

    I’m trying to find info on this. The shop I was at just replaced my radiator and refilled with universal yellow coolant instead of Toyota red like I had been doing and I doubt they flushed all of the red out. Is this going to cause a problem. This is the only comment I’ve been able to find...

    How often should you replace your hoses?

    All of you are making me feel like I’m doing it prematurely at 19 years. This makes me want to see how long I can go without doing it Kramer style with the gas.

    How often should you replace your hoses?

    Thanks. I’m doing the radiator hoses now with the radiator, but I know I need to do all others at some point as well. I guess I’m also trying to figure out if I should prioritize some over others. Thanks. I’m at 19 with mostly original though they still currently pass the “squeeze” test. I...

    How often should you replace your hoses?

    I’m taking inventory of the hoses in my rig and curious how often I should replace each set.

    Red or pink coolant? (Answer: 03 and earlier - Red; 04 and newer - Pink)

    I was. I was in line at the dealership and had people waiting on me. I tried looking up old threads but internet was slow and I didn’t want to keep making people wait so I made a post hoping to get a quick answer. I eventually found the answer in a thread before anyone responded. I tried to...

    Red or pink coolant? (Answer: 03 and earlier - Red; 04 and newer - Pink)

    so I went to the dealership to buy my heater Ts and pick up some coolant. I expected to just say “and give me a gallon of coolant” and them to oblige. Instead they asked me “pink or red?”. I did a quick search but couldn’t find the answer easily. With people behind me and not wanting to hold...

    Another wet trunk question

    I was having a similar issue with water leaking up through the carpet. My issue is that dirt and debris built up in the weather stripping around my rear hatch. It was slowly letting water seep in and funneling it to the bottom of the trunk where it deposited it beneath the carpet. I cleaned...
