Is this still happening? It’s been years (probably 14-15!) since I owned a cruiser, went to one meeting and a trail ride out in Crozet and then ended up selling my old 60 due to family needs. Just got back into the life with an ‘02 LC.
Mark W.,
Good to finally have you on the board. I was wondering why you'd never joined up!? Good attempt at anonymity, too. Sure kept me guessing! I'm interested to see how others will react to your posts! ;)
Doc,
I've been having the same problem since it got cold, too. I just put my foot under the throttle and pulled it up and the idle went back to normal. Once the engine bay heats up, the linkage seems to free up. I'm thinking that if we pull the linkage points apart and lube with some good...
I think you may have meant 4lo. If you can't shift into 4hi doing 45mph without grinding, you're doing something wrong. The key is to stay off the gas and the brake, then pull your little shifter on down to engage 4hi. If you do it while coasting, you can shift into 4hi and then back to 2...
Virginia???
Man, you really scored big. Where in VA? How much did you pay for that bad boy? And where are you that there are that many sweet Toyotas? Is the LC yours? OK, that's enough of the 20 questions....!
I had mine milled at a place about 5 miles from my house. 1st thing I did was call a few muffler shops and ask them who they used. I figure if they're good enough for a muffler shop, then they're good enough for me. Sure enough, I got it done good and cheap. The place I used was actually...
I don't know what you guys are paying for S&H at the other stores, but here's a store on ebay that is selling them cheaper than anyone else I have found (so far).

When we run out of fuel, we'll all be driving hydrogen powered cars anyway. Don't think that we don't have the technology and ability to do it, cause it's already been done. Do you think that anyone who makes any money off oil fuel powered vehicles wants a hydrogen powered car? Don't think...
I have been told before by a CB repairman/shop owner that the passenger side of the vehicle has less reception capability than the driver's side. Something having to do with the ground of the vehicle. The reason Wilson whips will always outperform plain fiberglass and steel whips is because...
You might have noticed the difference in the horns, though, between the 2 sites. Just because they are Hella Supertone doesn't mean they are the same horns with the same sound. Notice the total DB and also the high and low hertz. Makes a big difference in sound tone.
My vote goes for your nuts! :D Just get some used panels from somebody...Have you called or e-mailed cruiserparts? That guy rocks. I've bought all kinds of stuff from him. Might have a hard time finding rust-free where he is, but who knows until you ask?
