    Brake pedal pushing back

    Recent development while braking vehicle stops normally but while extended braking or holding the brake down at a stop light you can feel the pedal pushing back up against your foot. No failure. No alarms. I’ve gotten plenty of life from the stock abs/booster system but this doesn’t seem to...

    Overheated. Trying to determine how bad and next steps.

    2004 LX470 285,813 miles My wife was driving the LX around town yesterday delivering Girl Scout cookies with our daughters. They were gone about 2 hours with multiple stops, never turning the truck off as they dispersed their sugary confections. Her last stop was 14 miles away, about 20 min of...

    Background, 2004 LX470 212,XXX miles. Bearings repacked with new rotors last year and CVs and flanged looked great. Last Saturday exiting the highway started hard pull to the left and sounded like a flat tire. Pulled over and tire was fine. Jacked it up and the wheel bearing was for sure loose...

After 30 min of searching I finally dropped the large plastic skid/belly pan and finally located the bolt....I also discovered on the DS the large...

    Driving newly purchased 40 from Idaho to Texas

    I've got a 60, 80 and my wife has a 100. But my Buddy just bought a 40 on eBay and wants to fly up and drive back. What would you check first before leaving. And what would you take with you (parts/tool wise) to try to make the journey. Looking forward to a little adventure and worst case...

    1FZ-E

    Does anyone have a 1FZ-E sitting around? I've decided to sell my 60 and put a motor in my '94 80 series. I am trying to decide wether to go with a used pull out or a rebuilt.

    Alternator woes

    I will assume after the sudden rattle developed under the hood yesterday that this is my culprit. Don't think it's supposed to do that. Alternator is less than a year old. Rebuilt Bosch unit the PO put on. Can they rebuild just the pulley/fan bearings? Or best to replace the whole thing?

Is it possible to program a Taco or 4Runner key fob to control the keyless entry on...
