    Purchasing an Xterra

    We ended up purchasing a 2007 with 165,000 miles in Solar Yellow. You can pretty much spot it from space. It may make me a Nissan fan - the 4.0L V6 has real pull. I'll see if I can get Toyota longevity out of it with good maintenance. I already have a Denso Radiator to swap out because it...

    AC control switches not working, stuck on defrost

    With strange electrical issues I find Its always good to start by testing the battery, it's cables and connections and the alternator. When the voltages drop or fluctuate all kinds of strange problems can pop up.

    Purchasing an Xterra

    To me the SMOD is not a concern if you are shopping. The truck will have a working trans with clear fluid or it'll be a parts unit. Once you own it it is easy to get a updated radiator without the problem or run a separate trans oil cooler. Looking for a Xterra myself right now. They are...

    CV Boot Clamp Removal Question

    Long handled diagonal cutters make easy work of the old clamp. Stick a screw driver into the crimp and twist loose. Then cut. Clamp over clamp doesn't sound preferable to me.

    If your Lexus LX470 or Land Cruiser is dying on idle, misfiring, stalling, etc... READ THIS

    Isis just the fuse box wearing that is the problem or is there an underlying electrical problem that causes the overheating ?

    Intermittent power to climate control

    I have experienced complete loss of climate control operation in extreme cold with a very low charged battery after my truck was sitting for some time battery and drained to the point of needing a jump. After about 15-20 minutes of running it started running. Have you tested the battery and...

    Windshield Replacement Parts List?

    I have had the windshield on my 100 replaced half a dozen times (Colorado) and have never needed to replace any of the moldings. Maybe let the indy guy use what's there but put it together the right way. OTOH windshields are disposable/consumable here so I am not too worried about getting it...

    1998 4X4, 3.4L Transmission Drain and Fill. To do, or not to do.

    This is the way I would go and exactly how I have done my Land Cruiser and Camry with great results. (Only took about 10 quarts of fluid in LC) What fluid are you going to use?

    03 Frontier Info Needed

    Same as Jon above Looking for pros and cons of the Frontier. I own a 100 but looking at a 2000 Nissan Frontier Crew Cab for my son. The forum here looks pretty slow. I'm a little surprised at that because these Nissan Trucks seem very popular and the Xterra definitely has fans around here...

    Whoops, somebody wrecked their LX600 with 434 miles on it.

    Every Lexus would seem better without the stupid hourglass streetsweeper grill.

    MN > MEX Build/Maintenance/Route Advice

    It's a Toyota Land Cruiser - Gas and go! If you hit oil change mileage enroute pull into a shop and get the oil changed. The problem with preventative maintenance is there is always a chance of the repair causing a new problem (Bad part or bad installation). To avoid that inspection is your...

    Modifications To Improve Gas Mileage

    My cruiser gets a very consistent 13 mpg. Good Cruiser mileage is not a thing. Not really a Toyota thing. Reliability is Toyota's focus. Fantastic fuel economy is like any other high performance goal. Diminishing returns and compromises to reliability. If you can get the top gear in the...

    Front sway bar bracket

    I thought I was having a bad day when I broke two of the bolts with one stuck in the bracket! I now see I should be counting my blessings to have a bracket at all. I was able to remove the broken bolt with a torch on the welded nut and turning the bolt 1/6th of a turn at a time with a part of...

    Wheel Bearings - When to replace / repack

    This SK snap ring plier tool is well worth it ! - Also wish I had purchased Slee's spindle lubrication tool before I started. https://sleeoffroad.com/products/sok1037/ If you want a bolt to pull on the axle spindle a good one is at the front top of the radiator.

    Another key question, need to replace the transmitter housing (not talking about the key shell)

    If you find the Stauber shell isn't up to the task then I recommend a ToyotaMD shell. Very happy with mine.

    For Sale 2011 LC200 197k Miles $21k Mods

    Vin search in Google will often get you pictures of the damage pre-salvage auction so you can judge how much was done and what to look for. For a vehicle with 200k miles even a minor event could result in salvage title. A problem I found is that all the salvage "rebuilders" in my area were...

    Help me decide - repair or scrap my son’s 100 series

    I vote for take the money and run. If you love the cruiser watch for it in the regional auction and pick it back up if it's going for very cheap. No matter how well it is rebuilt it will never have the same value with a branded title. There may be value there for a "flipper" but the profit...
