    Airbag light came on after replacing radiator

    I believe the airbag sensor is on or near the frame rail below the radiator in a metal cylinder- I could be wrong. It's possible that wire was disconnected or damaged. Crawl under and look for loose or crushed wires.

    LX450 body cladding clips... how best to reattach them?

    look up 'plastic weld' and 3M automotive plastic epoxy for the type of plastic. It looks like PP polypropolyene or could be ABS or PVC 3M has some good adhesives- look at professional grade on their website.

    My observation for doing quick phh

    Here are some pictures when I did the phh. You can see a 10yr old Gates phh and a new one. If I had a piece of OEM hose and OEM clamps, would have used them but... Honestly, the Gates doesn't seem any more reliable than OEM hose. *OEM clamps are too small for Gates I will never use regular...

    Overheating after replacing drive belts

    1. check your plug wires, cap rotor and timing. Since you noticed a rough idle after you changed these, that doesn't sound right. Should be better, not worse. maybe your timing is way off. 2. I have read people running ribbed belts without issue but the 80 has no ribbed belts, so this may...

    Again: Check your Knuckle-Nuts ;-)

    This is how all my suspension bolts and nuts are marked-easy inspection. Knuckle studs are useless because they get covered in dirt pretty quick. Only wrench that has a flat enough head to fit between the dust shield is the VIM Tools DPW1417 this was recommended by pablovta and cruiserdrew...

    The reality of the Landcruiser Head Gasket Issue

    Your truck blew it's hg at 270k. The owner I was responding to is at 240k. Many cars have HG's that blow well under 100k - like some BMW and Subies. They just wait till it blows. That's all I said, drive it until it blows or replace it on your terms if you intend to keep it for a long time...

    The reality of the Landcruiser Head Gasket Issue

    Use case matters. IMO, if you're driving in town, close to AAA access and the truck shows no signs than just don't worry about it. Some use it almost exclusively for trips into areas where alternatives are limited and some real physical difficulty can occur with such a critically disabled...

    Removing **and reinstalling** LX450 cladding / trim / tupperware

    If you want to reinstall the cladding, I would take all the door cards off to reach the backside of all the plastic clips. Otherwise, the risk of breaking clips and brackets is high. There are probably a 100 clips total. Here's a good idea of a guy filling in all the holes- I remember...

    timing chain guide problem. I think.....

    Wow buy a lotto ticket! Do you have to go back and loosen all of them and re-torque in the correct order? Just tightening that loose one isn't it, is it?

    Terrain Tamer Heavy Duty hub seals: anyone use them yet?

    I just did my rear bearings, too bad I didn't know Terrain Tamer was avail in the US. Maybe I'll try with the fronts.

    Off-road transmission temperature

    Anza Borrego and Mojave are common areas for me, and never had trans issues. 4Lo+D is good if you don't want to lug the motor. There are a lot of grades and elev changes that 4Hi just ends up lugging the motor. You can do 2nd start so you don't have that slap out of 1st in 4Lo on more level...
