    Service advice for new acquisition

    Thanks for the advice. I'm a bit mechanically illiterate though. Can you shed some light on "baseline fluids"? Maybe just a quick bullet list of fluids I should have changed?

    Service advice for new acquisition

    Just picked up a very clean 2005 with 51k on the clock. Vehicle hadn't been driven much in the last 12 months (only 1,000 mi or so) and has been garage kept for its entire life. According to the PO's service records, not much had been done other than religious oil changes. What service would...

    I just had them done in May 2007 and I'm being told by a different dealership that they need work (they didn't know I had them done last year).

    Steering Wheel/Column play

    Wondering if anyone could shed light on this or if anyone has similar symptoms: My steering column has a little vertical play in it so that when going over certain washboard areas there's quite a bit of rattle feel in the steering wheel and column. It's not play in the adjustment part of the...

    '97 80 Steering Wheel/Column Issue

    yes, I'm aware that the wheel is adjustable -- it's not the adjustable part that's the issue -- that's pretty solid. It's the wheel/column that's actually moving.

    '97 80 Steering Wheel/Column Issue

    Wondering if anyone could shed light on this: My steering column has a little vertical play in it so that when going over certain washboard areas there's quite a bit of rattle feel in the steering wheel and column. At first I thought it was suspension related but upon further examination, I...

    typical part/component failures on '97 80

    I have an ExtraCare Toyota (extended) warranty which I purchased when I bought my LC several years ago. It expires in November or in another 4,000 miles, whichever comes first. I currently have 91k on the clock and was wondering what I should look for before warranty runs out. I have to think...

    Is dealer fibbing?

    Wow guys! Thanks for all the input. Didn't realize an antenna question would elicit such participation! I had the antenna replaced because it was under warranty and I just wanted to make sure it was installed correctly -- so that when/if it malfunctions again (and NOT under warranty) I don't...

    Is dealer fibbing?

    Had new antenna installed on a '97 80 by Toyota dealer. It seems to work except that when you push the manual "down" button on interior dash, the antenna does not fully retract. It stops at about 3-4''. I seem to remember that my original antenna (before it malfunctioned) used to go all the way...

    FJ80 transfer case and other woes

    Ok IdahoDoug, hear you loud and clear. You're reasoning makes perfect sense to me (VC as a sympton, not a problem) Here's my plan: - New tires - Road test - Rear axle service (is there a technical name for this service or is that it? And what's a typical cost for this?) I'll report back with...

    FJ80 transfer case and other woes

    OK here goes: Bad VC unit: My center diff locks up after an hour of driving or more at hwy speeds. Based on other's experiences here, it seems that it's a bad VC unit, since a replacement VC unit seems to have solved their problem (which was identical to mine). Clunks: I have noticed some...

    FJ80 transfer case and other woes

    Ok guys, I need your expertise: Because of a bad VC unit, I'm going to bite the bullet and have my transfer case replaced (after much thought and deliberation -- going to put money into my 80 instead of purchasing a used 100). Figuring it's going to cost me an arm and a leg (planning to do...
