    LC200 - OBD scanner code comes back with "small vacuum leak"

    Once every week or so, I get a few lights on the dash. I plug in my scanner, and it says I have a vacuum leak. "Small", or maybe it says "minor", but either way, I'm curious if this is a known issue, and if there is a kit or something that I can purchase to address it. She runs "fine", but if...

    For Sale  Fairhope, AL: New Rhino Rack 84"x49" Pioneer Platform with Backbone mounting system

    The header says it all. Brand new, though it is installed. Until this AM, I don't think it's ever seen rain. :) From what I can gather on Rhino Rack's site, the system is $1638.98 shipped. I'm asking $1400 OBO, carefully packed and shipped in the CONUS. If you're in HI or AK, we'll talk...

    For Sale  4 SALE: Set of four nearly new 275/70R18 BF Goodrich Mud Terrain T/A KM3

    I just bought an LC200 which came with these. They're damn near brand new. They look really cool, but they're a bit "serious" for my use, and I would like to replace them with some more on-road focused tires. If you're within a few hundred miles, I'll happily meet you, or I can ship on your...

    New-to-me LC200

    I just picked up my first LC200. It's Amazon Green with Sand Beige interior, and the wheels are powder coated bronze, which I really like. It's got 164k miles, and looks to be overall in great shape, minus quite a bit of clear coat peeling on the hood and roof, with little bits elsewhere as...

    Makin' my way back on the road

    My brake booster assembly failed a few years ago, and I ended up parking my Elsie, thinking I'd "get to it" sooner rather than later. Next thing you know it's been years. Today, I finally swapped in the replacement booster, and topped up the fluid. The relatively recent battery is dead, and...

    Brake booster replacement

    Good morning! In my efforts to put my 02/1999 Elsie back on the road, I sourced a brake booster assembly to replace the bad one I took out 3-4 years ago, and even though it was for a "1999", it doesn't fit the bolt pattern on the firewall. The replacement booster has a bolt pattern of...

    Recommissioning an LC100 after about 3 years+ of sitting

    Guys and gals, My brake booster failed in maybe 2018 at about 337k miles, I parked Elsie, and life kind of got in the way, in addition to the fact that I had 11 cars at the time, and almost all of them needed attention at some point. I am about to get her back on the road, but I am wanting some...

    Help! My work LC almost didn't make it home tonight!

    I was on the way home from work this evening and my LC started cutting out. I first noticed it pulling into the Whataburger parking lot, and thought at first it might have been my imagination, maybe a weird downshift or something. Then, sitting in gear and idling in the drive-thru line, she...

    It is with a heavy heart, that I am selling my beloved Elsie

    It hurts to say it, but I have put my 100 up for sale. Some of you know I had a stated goal of getting to at least 500k miles with my beloved Elsie, but I ended up needing to get a larger van for work, and have no place to keep both of them. I have put up a CraigsList ad here, but would really...

    How much enclosed trailer an I reasonably tow?

    I started doing some racetrack stuff this past season in my BMW E30 coupe, HPDE-1 and then graduated to HPDE-2 almost right away. After the season was over, I took my car to South Carolina, and it is getting built by a race shop right now. It will be lighter than stock when we're done...

    330k plus, and want to freshen the ol' gal up a bit

    My beloved 1999 LC100 went past 330k miles this past month, and I would like to slowly work on bringing her back around to her former glory, and let her continue to age gracefully. I am already mindful of the next installment of 90k service intervals @ 360k. I am changing oil with Castrol...

    Possible to replace 2UZ-FE with 3UR-FE in 1999 LC100?

    The title pretty much says it all. :) I have a 1999 LC100 with 255k miles, and am looking at options for more power.

    Bilstein, Monroe or ???

    Hello all, While having my tires rotated and aligned on my daily driver 1999 LC, I just found out that the right front shock is leaking. I was thinking of replacing them anyway, but this will expedite the process. The servicer offers Monroe Reflex shocks, but I had been kinda thinking...

    '04 maintenance, why relatively cheap?

    Guys, I just took my '99 Cruiser with 81k miles in to have the front discs and pads replaced (also got the front bearings repacked), and have been looking over the Toyota Scheduled Maintenance flyer for V-8 Land Cruisers, and the 2004 prices are substantially lower than previous and subsequent...

    New Cruiser owner, and new member!

    I am a recovering sports car addict. I now have a black 1999 Toyota Land Cruiser, known in these parts as a UZJ-100. It has the optional factory locking rear differential. This is my first truck of any kind, so I'll probably ask lots of newbie questions, but bear with me. I am a performance...
