Today I parked my '01 LX470...and noticed smoking coming from the front end of the passenger side running board (I keep the running boards because my elderly father in law needs them to get in the vehicle). Definitely a rubber/plastic burning smell. I didn't see any fire...so I decided to try...
I'm getting ready to replace my FL height control sensor (the old one's bracket broke). I haven't been able to determine if there's any specific calibration that needs to be done while/after installing? It looks pretty easy to bolt the new one on but there is the slot at the top nut that...
I'm considering removing the 2nd row seat brackets...the part the attaches to the floor of the vehicle (after the seats have been removed).
Question: Is it just the one bolt holding that part to the floor of the vehicle? Before I start cutting the carpet unnecessarily, I wanted to make sure...
I recently picked a 'new to me' 2001 LX w/just 108,000 miles. I live in N. Michigan and need to treat the undercarriage. There's already some rust...but pretty good considering it's from Ohio. But I really don't want it to get much worse.
Does anyone have any tips/tricks/suggestions on the...
I've owned my Fj40 since '92 and a couple months ago started looking for 100 Series.
I found an '01 LX470 just a few hours away with 106,000 miles on it. It's from Ohio...and has the typical upper tailgate rust issue - works but need replaced (replacement cost ~$750?). No other body rust...
Are these 100 series cargo dimensions correct?
Can someone tell me what the cargo floor depth to the tucked 2nd row seats would be?
And what the depth would be with the 2nd row seats removed?
Thanks!
Can anyone tell me the dimensions of the opening measured right at the tailgate? I'm basically trying to figure out what's the biggest box that I can slide into the 100. I know similar questions have been asked...but I wasn't able to find this specific q/a.
Thanks!
Background: I've owned my FJ40 for 25 years - it was my daily driver for almost 20 years - now I'm looking to buy an FJ80. I recently moved way North where winters are long and am not ready to expose my 40 to the salt and crap they put on the roads up here during the 6 month winter.
While...
Up to now, my '78 FJ40 lived it's whole live in Texas/Okla/New Mexico. It seems to be in typical condition for a southern vehicle. Surface rust...some rust holes...nothing seems to bad.

After moving to Northern Michigan...
I was in a fender bender a few days ago and it looks like the frame is bent just a bit. The hood front alignment is off by about 1" side-to-side.
It seems to drive fine. Doesn't pull left or right (anymore that it did before). The steering wheel is off by about 60 degrees - the normal 12...
Can anyone recommend a shop to get my '78FJ40's frame straightened near Richardson, TX?

I know the brake booster threads have been beaten to death...but I just finished mine and I thought I'd share what I found out. And maybe answer some questions that may still be floating around out there.
My '78 has the really fat booster (7" deep). Went to the junk yard with a list of...
