The AC in our 97 80 Series was underperforming in the recent Texas heat wave. I couldn't tell what brand or version of fan clutch was in the vehicle, but it looked very old, so I put in a brand new Aisin blue fan clutch. A week later and still not happy with the AC condenser performance, I...
I came across this video of Trail Mater recovering a rolled 100 on Hells Revenge out at Moab. It is really sad to see another 100 bite the dust. Does anyone know the circumstances which caused this rig to roll in the first place? Mostly I'd be interested in whether there are any lessons...
I've had this 1990 4Runner going on over 30 years now. One fine day about 20 years ago, I locked the doors with the remote fob and when I came back later that afternoon I could not get any of the doors to open with the fob or with the key. Thank goodness for the roll down back window. The...
This past Sunday afternoon I got a call from my wife that the ignition key was just rotating freely in her 2000 Land Cruiser without being able to start it. From reading posts on this forum I had a pretty good idea what the culprit was and watched the YouTube video someone made about replacing...
After recently going through ABS valve assembly brake woes on my 2000 LX I decided to have a spare booster pump electric motor on hand in case one goes out on any of our other LX/LCs as they are all near or over the 200k mi mark. I purchased a whole brake MC assembly from fellow MUD member...
I picked up a set of Rock Warrior Wheels and tires yesterday off CL for a crazy low price. The only bad is that someone put a pretty awful looking rattle can black paint job on them. I kind of doubt that they even sanded the wheels before painting. I would like to figure out a way to remove...
I am in need of a replacement ABS valve body for my 2000 LX as it had and unusual failure where it sprung a leak. Alternatively I would be OK with a whole Master Cylinder with ABS assembly if you don't want to break it down. I don't care if the MC is shot, I just need the ABS valve body...
I drove my 2000 LX with 195k mi yesterday with no issues and parked it in the driveway. Went back about an hour later and moved it. Looked back at where it was parked and there was as huge puddle where it had been parked. I shut it down and looked under the truck and fluid was raining from the...
During flushing the brakes on the wife's cruiser I accidentally sucked some air into the master cylinder. We got a little whitish 'foamed' fluid out of the front brakes after some more bleeding, but the pedal is noticeably softer that before. We used Techstream to open up the ABS during the...
I have a set of five FJ Cruiser 17" OEM aluminum wheels off a 2007. Four of the wheels are in good condition(no scrapes or dents, but have oxidation under the silver paint in some areas between the spokes. Not real noticeable unless you look close. One of the wheels is in mint condition. All...
My sons 2000 LC got clipped in the college parking lot last week. It knocked back portion of the rear fender flare loose and the two metal clips that held it on are now missing. It is the Bushwacker flares that Gulf States Toyota installed on most LCs in the Southern states. I am in need of...
I have been experiencing intermittent symptoms of what seemed like either a battery issue or starter contact wear on my 2000 LX470. I have owned it for about a year with 146,000 mi. and the PO did not have much for service records, but with that many miles I would have guessed the starter...
I was rebuilding my alternator on my sons 2000 LC and the plug on the wiring harness broke like glass when I was taking it off. I bought a new plug, but when removing the remains of the old one I am not certain whether the wires got maintained in the correct order. My factory alternator...
Hope this post may help someone else figure things out a little quicker than it took me. I went out to start my 2000 LC one morning and it cranked strong but wouldn't ever try to fire. After finding no codes with my OBD II scanner and checking all the items mentioned in other threads, the...
I've had two original coils go out over the last 12 months. I replaced them both with Denso Coils pt# 90919-02230 that I purchased at AutoZone packaged Duralast boxes. The coils looked exactly like the factory ones being replaced, and even had the Toyota name molded on them. However, both of...
I have heard that some of the 2000-2001 100 series Land Cruiser have transmission troubles due to an out of tolerance component. I am looking for a used 100 for the wife. I really want to avoid getting one that may have expensive transmission troubles down the road. Should all the 2000 and...
