    Adding A Compass

    It’s sad the 2000 LC doesn’t come with a compass. I’m interested in a good after market compass and possible mounting locations.

    After Market Water Pumps

    I’m pretty much a stick with OEM parts guy but due to the frequent reports of seal leaks, I decided to research high performance after market water pumps for the 2UZ-FE engine. Here’s what I found. TRD (Toyota Racing Development) doesn’t offer one. United Components Inc. owns ASC Industries and...

    Water Pump Failures - Fact or Misdiagnosis

    The water pump failures reported on this board are typically discovered when the timing belt is replaced. During the tear-down to replace the timing belt, small amounts of dry anti-freeze residue are found on the outside of the water pump housing. This is sighted as “evidence” of a leaky water...

    Under Hood Light

    It's hard to believe that 2000 LC's didn't come with a light under the hood. Even my 83 Volvo has a light under the hood and my wife's 98 Jimmy has a light that switches off automatically after the hood is raised for over 30 minutes. Do the newer LC's or LX's come with an under hood light? If...

    Lsd

    No, I'm not calling all long haired hippie looking freaks. Did the 2000 LC’s come standard with limited slip rear differential? The previous owner didn’t keep the original window sticker. The parts department at the local dealership ran the VIN through their data base but it didn’t show LSD...

    4.7 liter V-8 with VVT-i

    I'm interested in any negative experiences with the 4.7 liter V-8 with VVT-i that's used in the late model Tundra, 4 Runner, and Sequoia. Posting a page out of a FSM showing the VVT-i design would also be appreciated. I've got a generic schematic but no detail on what Toyota uses to move the...

    VVT-i

    Anyone have knowledge, theories, or opinions why the 4 Runner, Tundra, and Sequoia version of the 4.7 liter V-8 are equipped with Variable Valve Timing with Intelligence and the LC version is not. VVT-i adds HP but little torque. It is touted to improve gas mileage and reduce emissions...

    Water Pump Failures

    Recent postings indicate the water pump used on the 2UZ-FE engine has a reputation for being an early failure component. It would be interesting to see some postings giving the mileage when pump failure occurred. It would also be interesting to see posting from those with over 150K miles who...

    Front Differential Fluild Change

    Procedure for changing front differential fluid on a 100. Draining: Drive the vehicle to warm-up the gear oil. It’s best to raise the front of the vehicle to gain more working clearance. Ramps work well: http://www.autobarn.net/usm11905.html. Remove the rear splash pan, six 12mm bolts...
