    Do I need Monolithic Converter Protectors?

    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...

    Intermittent "Nothing Happens" when Start Button is pressed

    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...

    2011 LX570 was stuck in 4LO - How do I avoid this in the future?

    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...

    Check 4-Wheel AHC System - Displayed Once, Now Cleared

    Oil Leaking on Evap Canister [Vapor, Charcoal]

    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...

    Eezi-Awn K9 Rack Pictures

    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...

    Terrain Tamer Pads and Rotors - Question About Anti Squeal Shims

    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'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...

    Horn, Cruise and Air Bags Are Not Functional [SOLVED]

    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...

Airbag: Trouble light is illuminated on the dash (indicating a broken connection). This sounded like a classic...
