    Another Leak Question (I searched first)

    Hi, We just had an unreal amount of rain (for Southern California, at least), over 9" in 24 hours. The front passenger-side floor and mat were really wet, no standing water but kinda soaked on the front portion. I tried searching and it seems like it could be a sunroof drain leak (other...

    Determining Part to Order

    Hi, I have an amusing problem. When I unlock my door from the driver's side door handle (using physical key, not fob buttons), (i) the door does not unlock and (ii) the alarm goes off. Of course, if I leave before people wake up and forget to unlock from the passenger side, I wake people up...

    Stumped by Seemingly Easy Task: Side Mirror

    I am NOT a good mechanic or DIYer. I am, however, stumped by something I feel that even I should be able to do: installing/replacing outside review mirror glass. I broke my passenger side mirror, but the housing and everything else is OK. I bought a replacement mirror from Toyota...

    2004 LC: Can I use this Coolant?

    Hi, I did some searching, but many of the results were too technical for me. I need to top off the coolant in my 2004 LC. Pep boys sold me "Peak Red/Pink Phosphate-Enhanced Organic Acid Technology for use in: ... Toyota 1990 and up" On the back of the jug, its says it's "free of silicate...

    DIY NOVICE: advice on iPhone cable replacement???

    I am a DIY novice (hardest job to-date was to replace headlight bulbs). The cable on my iPhone adapter has gone bad (have to wiggle it just so to get 2-channel sound). I found the replacement cable and it looks like a plug and play. The hardest part seems to be getting to the unit to plug it...

    Coolant Smell: No Overheating

    I did a search and found too many hits to decipher to find issues similar to mine. On my 2004 LC, I noticed a faint coolant smell after driving and that my coolant overflow tank was nearly empty. The LC never overheated. I took it to the shop (high end shop, but not LC specialists) and they...

    Tire Opinions Wanted (18"--32 vs 33)

    I've read a bunch of tire-related threads (but only a small % of the many threads out there) and I have a couple of questions re my specific application. I have a 2004 that I use 99% street/highway and 1% light offroad (fire roads). My current tires are Bridgestone Revo 2s in 275/65/18. I've...

    Squeaky Brakes

    Hi and Happy New Year. The brakes on my 2004 LC 100 are very squeaky. They have plenty of pad life left (well over 50%) and last time I did the brakes, I did both the pads and the rotors. It's time for new tires all around. Is there anything I should have the tire shop do while they've got...

    18" Wheels: A few (hopefully easy) tire and lift questions (search yields too many results)

    Hi, A tire and/or lift related search yields too many hits, so I'm adding to the clutter. My 2004 100 series has 18" wheels and it's time for new tires. I have a few questions: I'm currently running 275/65/18 (Bridgestone Revos) on the stock suspension (with torsion bars adjusted for...

    Disconnecting Battery??

    Hi, I'm going to disconnect my battery so that I can remove the airbag from the steering wheel (to see if I can get my horn unstuck). Whenever I remove the battery, my 2004 LC "forgets" how to idle for a couple of days. I assume there's nothing I can do about this (if I keep any power...

    Horn Stuck On: Center of Wheel Pushed in and Won't Come Out

    Hi, The horn on my 2004 LC 100 got stuck blaring so I had to pull the fuse. I did a search and saw the threads about water getting into the relay, but that's not what's happening with me. Here, my son was driving and honked the horn (of course, he says he didn't slam it) and the left side of...

    Water Dripping?

    I was in the front passenger seat of my '04 Landcruiser. It was hot and the AC was on. I noticed water dripping on my foot from under the glove compartment. Is this just condensation? Even if it is, why is it dripping into my car? Anyone ever heard of this and/or have suggestions as to what...

    Steering Noise ???

    I've got an intermittent noise that I think is steering related and that I'd love help with diagnosing. I'd describe it as a rubbing/vibration/honking/ sound, not too loud. You can kind of slightly "feel" it in the floorboards too. It happens only intermittently, more often after the car has...

    Power steering fluid??

    I Was getting very slight "feeling" in my steering during wide swings from lock one way to lock the other. I checked my power steering fluid level and it was a bit low. I sucked out some of the fluid and refilled. I was on a slight angle and I overfilled a bit (seems to be more overfilled...

    Headlight Access??

    I'm not that experienced with a wrench. I'm changing my headlight bulbs (low beams w/ HIR 9012). It looks like the passenger side assembly is easy to reach (which is good because my passenger side is the one that blew out). I want to change the driver's side too, but, because of the...

    Rearview Mirror Help

    My rearview mirror (center of the windshield) fell off. It looks like there's a small metal plate/bracket that clicks into the black piece stuck to the windshield and then screws into the mirror assembly. That plate/bracket is messed up (some tabs broke off). Searching online, it seems that...

    Location, Location, Location???

    I'm getting new speakers and a USA Spec iPhone/Aux device integrator installed and I have a couple of questions (I have read many of the threads on this topic already too). My first questions relate to the USA Spec. The model I'm getting will have a dedicated input for the iPhone (which I'm...

    Bumper Questions 101

    I've got a 2004 100 series that is stock except for bigger tires. While I fantasize about doing more, my main offroad uses are towing dirtbikes and fireroads. I got rear-ended and insurance is going to buy me a new bumper. I thought I'd explore aftermarket options (of course, the front will...

    Door Lock Fix (but less involved than motor replacement)??

    On my 2004 LC, the rear passenger door lock is motor/actuator is no longer strong enough to lock/unlock the door (it'll flip the lock knob/lever to show orange or grey, but it will need an extra push to get it to actually lock or unlock). Unfortunately, I am not handy enough to do the motor...

    Annoying Changes Since Changing Battery

    So I changed my battery and the temporary loss of power must have re-set some of computer settings. One change is that now, my lights stay on for a minute or so even after I lock my doors. I prefer it when the lights go off at the same time I lock the door. Another change is that now if I...
