I'm usually in the 200 forum but posting here for a good friend owning a 2011 Taco.
He asked me to look under his truck for a noise he is hearing and I noticed a label on the propeller shaft that makes me think this is not the original one.
He has owned the truck since 30k.
Here is the label...
Got a group 31 battery that is mislabeled as having automotive posts but in fact it has 3/8 stainless terminals. My truck has OEM terminals, for automotive posts and I do not plan to change that, but only replace them with Slee billed terminals.
For the experts here what is better:
1. stainless...
Any idea what is under the driver seat carpet?
It is making a noise like a fan or something grinding. It is there with the engine on or off.
It is not the seat itself. I can feel the vibrations coming from unde the carpet. The noise is strong enough so I can hear it with the engine on and from...
This is a BH3D insert for LX570 (please note this is the LX not the LC model, they are different). This model is the one called "LX570 Lid does NOT close". You can see the product here 200 Series/LX570 Cup Holder Inserts – BH3D Printing -...
This is fresh this morning.
Got truck in the garage yesterday for fluid changes and left it on HI.
Took car out this morning and the freaking roof antena caught up on the door edge, bent the door and in the process was partially pulled out of the roof.
I have a trip comming up in 10 days so need...
I expected to find this info pretty easy both here and on Inet, but didn't.
The firing order was easy to find: 1-8-7-3-6-5-4-2
But when looking at numbering neigher the GM or Ford schema makes sense given the firi8ng order.
GM is using [top of the table is front of the engine]

First time doing this job on this truck and read the manuals, the threads, and watched the videos.
What I'm writing about is this part from the owner manual "re-torque nuts and bolts".
To me re-torque means losing up the nuts/bolts then torque back to specs - 88Nm. Yet, I did not see or read...
I just got a new flat on already used tires (about 4/32" left), and this time the puncture is almost on the sidewall. Even if I patch it I don't think any shop will install it due to liability.
I was planning on replacing them all before this winter but now I'm thinking I'll have to do it...
From my limited search/knowledge it looks like this should be possible. After all, in a few years everyone will need to use R-1234yf instead of the current R-134a without replacing their AC system. This is not unlike previous transition from R12 to R134a. Plus it is better for environment.
But...
I was looking in the 2013 LX owner manual in the Do-it-yourself maintenance section and it describes "How to initialize the tire pressure warning system"
There is a mention about a button that I cannot find in my truck:
Is the button somewhere else?
If no button, how is the initialization...
It looks like something hit my sensor (has a sizable paint chip on its face but it is not dented) and I'm also getting a warning of service required, and the parking alarm is beeping in the cabine.
Didn't get a chance to hook up Techstream to see if there is a code.
Is there a calibration to be...
Hi all,
we already have quite a few big and good posts about Tesla style units for LC.
I'm looking for info for LX units.
Based on this LC post

Hi guys,
I'm running all season tires (they were new when I got the truck and I'm wearing them down before replacing w/ more suitable tire).
I'm running OEM 20 size tires (285/50R20) and I know that is not a popular size here, but I found products to cover the entire spectrum, so it is the...
I got a few sets of chains from amazon to try for fit. Among them I got Security Chain Company QG2828CAM for only $46.40+tax. They are listed now for $157. I do not need them and I'm going to return them.
But given the excelent price maybe someone wants them locally - greater Seattle area...
Hi guys,
I have quite a few of them jack stands but all are 3 ton (6000lbs) of different heights.
There is a sale at the local store for 6-ton jacks (12000lbs).
My LX GVWR is 7385lb.
What do you use?
I replaced my LX rack with the parts from two racks from two fellow members, plus some new from Toyota and I have almost one rack available to give away.

Hi all,
Price: free if you pick them up locally Seattle eastside, WA. Actual shipping cost if not.
Condition: used, some perfect functional, some missing clips
I switched from LX to LC roof rack by using parts from two racks and now I have LC rack left over parts.
All are free for local...
Hi all,
I own a '97 Camry and the '13 LX.
I noticed that Toyota bolts even exposed to the elements for years are still in good condition.
When I use aftermarket fasteners even zinc plated and all that they do not last.
What makes the Toyota bolts so good, besides the $$?
If you can get it as...
Hi all,
I replaced my tailgate glass and I had to remove the spoiler. The spoiler is attached using 3 clips some 3M tape and 4 bolts.
The question is about the thin gaskets around the bolts holes. They are not in good shape after removal.
Toyota does not list any for 2013 LX. There are some...
Hi all,
for a very small leak of the UCA OEM ball joint do you replace the ball joint or just replace the boot and load new grease (it comes with the boot)?
Or are you just ignore it until it needs replacement?
Thanks
