Can someone please respond with the fsm or similar for a steering rack replacement on a 2000 LC that includes labor hours.
Thanks
Got to get ready for our 22/23...
I am struggling to find a 54 mm hub socket. Was hoping to find a rental at local auto parts store but that hasnt produced and the specialty shops are about $47 delivered. Amazon has them at $39 plus sales tax. Anyone want to sell me an old one they’re not using?
I see several 55 mm options on...
Got a comprehensive timing belt parts list going for my 2006 lc (vvti):
Should i replace the camshaft seals (there are 2)? My understanding from watching otramm’s youtube (part 2) is that the cam has to come out to replace them.
This work will be performed with the engine in the vehicle btw...
Thinkin about gettin a camo stencil kit and having my 2000 lc painted. I used the search function and don’t see much but has anyone else got pics they could share of a camo lc?
My FIL has a 2013 LC and has asked me what kind of headlights he should replace his with. He wants to replace oem with the same look and doesnt want to refinish or fancy up the lights. Is there an aftermarket option he should consider? How much is this gonna cost him?
Making my usual hunting trip to the Nebraska panhandle and then back to Arky in early December. Have car hauler trailer/F-250 dually and am open to hauling to offset my expenses.
Both end boots of the steering rack look like this. I have the skid plates off and used a headlamp to “examine the rack” but thus far have not identified an obvious source of the leak. I stopped by a front end shop and after looking at the pictures the guy said there would likely be a half cup...
So my 2000 lc’s roof rack was peeling paint pretty bad and i removed it with the intention of rattle can priming and painting back to black. After applying paint thinner over and over and using some steel wool the old paint (and what looked like a black primer) was gone. My grandad mentioned i...
My FIL has a 2013 LC and his headlight assemblies are cloudy and dingy. He doesnt want to rub toothpaste or any other compound to polish the lenses but wants to replace them.
Are there any manufacturers you recommend other than oem? Don’t want black or other color change but looking for an oem...
I started this project 6 or 7 years back and finally finished. I know this song and dance has been done before but thought I'd share in case some of this helps some other poor soul who endeavors to achieve a similar result.

On my 2000 LC, the a/c button seems to have gotten weaker. I have to really press it before the light comes on and i’m concerned the button is about ready to fail.
Do I just buy a new button? Or is there more to it?
anybody care to weigh in?
My 2000 lc’s steering wheel requires more effort to turn than my 2006. Maybe 40% more. Ive never changed the power steering fluid as the pump isnt whining but im curious if this procedure would help it to turn easier.
What im trying to say is that its almost uncomfortable to drive because the...
I am looking for the 49 mm and 53 mm wits end bushing press thats used for the 80 series rear control arms (upper and lower).
They (the press gizmo) are $50 a piece and i’m hoping you guys have some that float from member to member like ive seen done with steering wheels.
PM me if you can help...
Got new bushings in the mail today for the rear upper and lower control arms. Could someone please post fsm instructions that includes the torque spec for both.
Many thanks
Woo f’n pig
So i’ve decided to replace some suspension components on my 2000 lc in an effort to improve the ride quality to near what it was years ago.
The rear control arms (upper and lower) are on the list and i hoped i could just replace the bushings as opposed to replacing the entire piece. Is there a...
This pertains to my 2000 lc:
So around 200,000 miles i got some ko2’s in oem size and load range D. Around that same time i replaced oem shocks with oem shocks. I have tried many different tire pressures but i still have a mule wagon when it comes to ride comfort.
The roads in Little Rock have...
I’ve been using Kirk’s Automotive for years and just want to say he knows land cruisers well and is reasonable.
I mentioned to him that he may struggle with the rear shock replacement and he just said “i doubt it”. Well, he used a flex head ratcheting wrench and had no trouble.
He has replaced...
My FIL has a 2013 land cruiser that he bot used. The outside mirror on the driver side has a camera in it and the darn thing doesnt work and has not worked since hes owned it. This is strange as the vehicle is only 5 years old and has 50,000 on the clock.

So i go to move my 2000 today and immediately notice the rearview had a grainy image. Almost out of focus and i noticed there is a black spot in both the lower left and lower right hand corners as well.

Any idears?
