    LX 450 dashboard electrics puzzle

    A strange combination of failures just hit my 1997 LX 450. The radio (stock) stopped turning on, the side mirror adjusters stopped working - both driver and passenger, and the HVAC doesn't function although lights on some of the buttons are lit if depressed. Other switches and lights on the dash...

    LX 450 Power out on all center dash components (stereo, heat, etc.)

    Took a corner a bit sharp the other day and all of the power suddenly went out on the components in the center of the dash. I'm not getting anything to the stereo, the AC/heat (although the switch turning on the fan in the back of the truck works), antenna, cig lighter socket. The green light...

    Real Time Help - Dwell Angle

    I'm doing the timing on my 87 fj60. I put a dwell/tach on it and the Dwell angle is 48˚. According to the shop manual, it should be 42˚. To change it, I'm adjusting the rubbing block air gap in the distributor. I've set it a couple of times, at .2mm and .4mm (both ends of the range, according to...

    Can't get front shock off

    Engine Trouble

    My, new to me, FJ60 has been running rough since I got it. I had a mechanic take a look at the truck a few weeks ago - there was an oil leak that turned out the be a transfer case seal - and he found and fixed a vacuum leak (his notes say he replaced missing bolts on EGR valve pipe to intake...

    FJ60 Brakes Question

    Hi All, I bought a 1987 FJ60 a couple of weeks ago. It has 130K miles and seems to be in reasonably good shape. There are several small problems that I need to take care of, but I think one of the first might have to be the brakes. When I hit the brakes, with the LC in gear, it lurches...

    Front Mounted Hitch Receiver on 2001 LC

    I've been looking in the usual places (hitch-web.com and etrailer.com) for a front mounted hitch receiver for my 2001 LC but I can't find one anywhere. Does anyone know if a similar part for another model, maybe Tundra or Sequoia, will fit? Thanks, Nigel btw, I've searched the forums...
