My truck is parked in my garage waiting on some coolant hoses and clamps. The block is entirely drained from doing a timing belt and water pump job on it.
I plugged the large openings with blue paper towel.
Do I run the risk of flash rust forming in the coolant passages? Anything I can do to...
Hey folks - tackling my first ever timing belt job. Going alright I suppose - harmonic balancer was stuck a good bit and I stripped my fan bracket nuts so had to cut the thing off with a sawzall (planning on replacing bracket and clutch anyway).
I am at the point where I am ready to remove...
I have began to hear a tick during the initial crank/fire of the 2UZ in my 100 series. After about 1 second of audible ticking, it cannot be detected at idle anywhere around the car. The tick is then noticeable when driving under light acceleration until the car warms up. What's confusing...
Hello folks,
Trying to diagnose a mystery leak from the very rear driver side. When the 100 is exposed to rain, the truck proceeds to drain from the rear near the tow hitch on the driver side when repositioned. Sun roof drains are clear so not sure what could be causing this. Any ideas?

Lots of interesting info here from the Tundra’s development team. Literally spent years in Japan working with Land Cruiser team. Frame looks very similar.
Shameless plug for the absolute best car review crew on YouTube as well. Check their channel out. No affiliation.
Our 18 month old was playing with my keys in the kitchen and later in the day I found the rear hatch opened and jammed against our garage door. Luckily no damage; however, I was unable to prove if the hatch has an auto stop feature during the open or close sequence. The mechanism exerted more...
I am contemplating buying the necessary tools (hole sale, wire fisher, flexible drill bit, drywall saw) etc to DIYing the installation of 4-6 4” slim mount recessed LED lights in my basement office. If there is a room to learn DIY in the house, it’s this one; however, I am not so sure about...
Having the fuel pump recall done tomorrow on my 14LX in an area where they’re common.
I know they access the tank from under the DS back seat so I don’t think they’re dropping anything underneath. Is that’s all that’s entailed? Do they need access anywhere else? Under the hood/truck?
Cruiser was parked outside horizontal and then moved to slight incline. Water started leaking from above the tow hitch wiring on driver side. What does this indicate? Leaking taillight? Sunroof drains?
I was driving my wife’s LX today and doing the regular actuation of 4Lo and the CDL. Typically, I engage and disengage the CDL while driving/coasting on a straight road less than 30mph. The CDL engaged well and quickly each time today; however, it was taking longer to disengage. Each time it did...
I have been unable to locate the part numbers for the black side mirrors or grille assembly from a heritage edition.....anyone have insight as to what they are?
Does anyone have a car seat mounted in the second row middle seat? Looking at the seat bottom, it’s not level from passenger-driver side causing our child’s Clek car seat to sit uneven.
My wife and I prefer it there so that the front seats can be on their normal position. I have thought about...
I think we can collectively say 2020 has been a year that we will remember for the rest of our lives. My wife and I were able to celebrate the birth of our first son, relocated across the country, I started a new job, spend lots of time with family, and add another 200 to our stable :)
Between...
Going to do an exchange on the PS fluid soon and would like to extract the existing fluid in there. The opening to the reservoir doesn’t appear any bigger than 3/8”.
Can anyone recommend a fluid transfer pump that will fit the small opening? Plan on doing a few evacuation and refills over a...
Putting a feeler out there for (4) 4th Gen Sport Edition 6 spoke wheels in the Chicagoland area.
Looking for $200; however, make an offer and can meet in a 75 mile radius around Chicago. Can take pictures if interested but they are boxed up and are in B+ condition. No rash/peeling of the...
I have seen conjecture on this forum that Falken changed the compound on the AT3W’s but cannot find any proof elsewhere online.
I am thinking about these or the Toyo ATIII’s. Both receive an equal amount of positive praise.
