My catalytic converters were stolen while parked at Portland International Airport (PDX) last week and my insurance company (USAA) will only cover the replacement with the absolute cheapest option available. They note the following NAPA models in the claim estimate: 54567...
As the picture shows, I am in the process of buttoning up my 1997 and cannot find where I am supposed to attach this grounding strap. One end is attached to the head near the support for the heater pipe. Thank you!
Looking at the passenger side, just above the exhaust manifold. These cracks looks wicked. I have it pulled apart to replace the original radiator, oil pump seal, alternator, fuel injector service, power steering cooler, etc. Is my head on its last legs? To my knowledge, the HG is original at...
I would like to buy or rent a crank pulley holder tool for my upcoming oil pump seal replacement. Please let me know if you have one and name your price.
Thank you.
Hi Everyone,
You're looking at the right hand side (passenger side US) inner fender area, just behind the front tire. As you can see, I appear to be missing some of that soft plastic barrier paneling in this area. Due to its proximity to the exhaust pipes, maybe it is not the soft plastic...
After living its entire life in the Seattle area, my 80 departed Gig Harbor, WA two days ago and will be arriving to Norfolk, VA around December 6th. My mother and her friend jumped at the chance to take a road trip and I made no argument. The alternative would have been to ship the rig and...
I am looking for the front "skid plate" that mounts just forward and aft of the radiator with four bolts -- I believe. This piece is less a skid plate and more there to guide air for the radiator and air conditioner.
The second part(s) I'm looking for are the pieces of plastic weather...
Hi guys,
My LX450 did not have its factory front skid plate when I purchased it. As far as I know, it should have a plate that covers the bottom of the radiator, and I have nothing there. Are there aftermarket skid plates for that area that you would recommend? Can OEM skid plates still be...
Here's my situation. I was up working on Alaska for a month and the LX sat untouched. I started it the night I got home and all seemed well. The next day I drove about 100 highway miles and all seemed normal. By normal, I mean the oil gauge goes up to around half way under some load and...
I searched for this topic, but didn't find much so here's an FYI. If this already exists in the FAQ, I apologize. If not, feel free to stick parts of it in there.
I thought I'd share a recent dealership experience about getting another key for my 1997 LX450. When I purchased the vehicle...
Hi guys,
I've got an issue with my rear defroster barely working. I only get marginal defrosting occurring on the middle line that goes across the rear window. This "middle line" is the one nearest to where the power connects to the defroster. The wide band of conductive material near the...
I am brand new to Landcruisers and this forum:flipoff2:, but it looks like I've chosen a cruiser that will rapidly accelerate my familiarity with both (which is awesome!). About 3 weeks ago, I bought a nice looking 1997 LX450 with 160k. I started performing baseline maintenance right away...
Hi guys, I bought a 1997 LX450 about 3 weeks ago and just started getting a CEL (arg!). The vehicle has 160,000 miles and is totally stock. So far, I have performed an oil/filter change, air filter change, coolant flush, and spark plug change. So here is my first post asking for your advice...
