The clamshell-type shields on my exhaust are rusting, loose and noisy. I took one off a few months ago and haven't replaced it yet. Now, I need to remove a second one.
What is the purpose of these covers? I've heard they are for fire prevention if you are driving/parking in tall grass.
I'm...
In the past few days, I've hit the "Start" button and nothing has happened. The dash lights don't turn on or anything. After trying a few times, the truck fires up.
In other vehicles (80 series etc), when a starter is going bad, the dash lights would at least illuminate.
QUESTION = When a...
My LX570 has ~190,000 and has been losing coolant recently. I noticed that there is coolant residue in the area shown in the photo. Where it is likely leaking from?
Today, I was dragging my dump trailer out of a sloped/muddy area, so I popped it into 4LO. I then needed to get out of 4LO, but it was stuck in 4LO. It took about 30 minutes of randomly driving forward, driving backward, switching between 4LO/4HIGH, coasting in Neutral and restarting to pop it...
I'm reluctant to sell, but I need to fund some house projects. I've owned this 1997 LX450 for the last 16 years.
This rig is the sought-after "triple locked" version with front, center and rear differential lockers.
It comes with the following notable extras:

My Mother purchased a used 2011 Highland two years ago with 150,000 miles on it.
Yesterday, the timing chain broke while driving and the vehicle is at the shop. It's an interference engine with an estimated repair bill of $4,400.
Three questions:

About a decade ago, I installed the Slee "9005/9006 Headlight Upgrade Harness" and the Slee "Auxiliary Light Harness" to run two aux lights.

I fired up the truck in 30F weather and the "Check 4-Wheel AHC System" warning displayed.
The warning has not re-appeared after multiple subsequent starts.
I'm hesitant to ask this question as there may be too many possibilities, but is there a "common" thing I should check?
At this point...
I removed the spare tire in preparation for getting the truck oil undercoated and found oil (or something) covering the charcoal canister. I couldn't pinpoint where it was coming from. Now that it's oil undercoated, that will be more difficult.
Anyone have any guesses where it might be coming...
I'm looking to pull the trigger on a K9 rack and I'm deciding between two sizes:
The narrower 2.2m x 1250mm (87" x 49") or the wider 2.2m x 1400mm (87" x 55").
Two questions:
(1) Does anyone have reasons for/against one or the other?
(2) Anyone have pictures of a 200 series with a 1400mm...
I got a set of pad and rotors from Cruiser Brothers (good communication, fast shipping; I recommend them) to replace the worn OEM stuff on my 2011 LX570.
I ended up removing the thin metal shim from the Terrain Tamer pads and re-used old Anti Squeal shim from the OEM pads.
Did I do the right...
I got to pull at Freightliner full of 25 pallets of electronics out of a snow bank tonight. Fun stuff. The truck was slipping on the ice and couldn't get to the loading dock. Got to use my new Southeast Overland kinetic recovery rope and soft shackles. Three tons of LX570 and studded...

I'm looking to get some Escape Gear seat covers (Escape Gear Toyota Land Cruiser 200 Seat Covers | Equipt Expedition Outfitters).
The covers are designed for a 200, but I have an LX. I'm wondering about fitment.
Do the 200 seats have the "extension" option (under the knees) that makes the...
Two years ago, I replaced the "clock spring" (spiral cable84306-33020) in the steering wheel, but that didn't solve the issue. I've also removed/cleaned all the associated grounding locations. The air-bag trouble light is on and neither the cruise nor the horn are responsive.
Assuming all three...
Horn: Not responsive from the drivers seat, but I can jump the control relay in the engine bay and make it honk.
Cruise Control: Nothing happens on the dash when I press the buttons.
Airbag: Trouble light is illuminated on the dash (indicating a broken connection).
This sounded like a classic...
My rear diff on my '97 LX450 wasn't locking, so I ordered a Landtank rebuild kit from Actuator Rebuild Kit. | Toyota 80 Series Land Cruiser and Overland Gear.
However, I removed the actuator today and it's too far gone for my interest to rebuild. I am going to find a used or new one.
The Bad...
