    Intermittent Electrical Problems

    About a week ago I tried starting my 2006 LC and it was completely dead - turned the key and no noise at all, there were a few lights on the dash, one yellow flashing, I should have taken a picture but other things came up. Had it towed home, and the next day it started just fine. Now just...

    Bad Results with 555 Ball Joints

    Clumpy-Clump from front of LC

    A few days ago I began hearing a weird noise from the front of my 2006 UZJ100 - sounds almost like a clumpty-clump, clumpty-clump, on and off. It will come and go, usually at slower speeds. It sounds terrible, but I cannot replicate it, it comes and goes on its own, and so far has not affected...

    Removal of Roof Rack < MPG

    With gas prices being what they are and sure to go up in the future, I'm wondering if it might make sense to remove the roof rack on my 100, and put it on only when I actually need it (usually before a camping trip which involves several hours of packing anyway, so the installation/disassembly...

    Broken Muffler Tailpipe question?

    Was poking around under the LC this evening in preparation for lubing the drive shaft tomorrow and discovered this: Funny thing (or not so funny) is that I spent $700 installing a new muffler 3.5 years ago. So what went wrong? I'm thinking one of three possibilities, though if I missed...

    Like a jerk I was rushing to replace my front brakes before a vacation next Saturday, and sure enough broke the top bolt holding the front caliper. Drilling it out looks next to impossible to due the lack of space - are there any other options?

    Getting ready to do front brakes and went to Parts Souk for parts. OEM Toyota rotor are $300 for a pair, set of 4 pads is $111, so about $400 for front rotors and pads on both sides.
