Last Thursday, I picked an '05 LX470 up for my mom. One owner, 170k miles, impeccable service history from the dealership it was bought from. As my mom said after she saw it, it doesn't look more than a couple years old. Was priced for $18k, but I think he would have taken $17.5k for it. Since I...
It happened fast, so I'd need to pause it to be 100%, but I believe there's a 60 in the opening scene of Captain America: Civil War. I wish I could say that it was nice to see, but it dies an ignominious death when a bad guy falls and pancakes the roof and they don't even show the whole vehicle.
Ok, so you already know the original length of the drive shaft. Unless you're going with a huge lift, I think you'll be fine with the stock length of the splines, but that's beyond my knowledge and a question for a driveline shop.
To measure the static length you need, bolt both ends of the...
One of these days, 200 owners will be complaining about the 500 series not being a true Cruiser because it's all electric. So what if it doesn't have clunky differentials to get hung up on and has gobs of torque? Land Cruisers are supposed to run on diesel or gas!
Lest my post tip someone towards buying from a potentially less-than-ernest seller, my post was a sarcastic remark about the copious amount of negative feedback he has.
Those are nice. We never got Corolla seats with side bolsters like that in the States. Ours are much flatter. The closest thing we would have out of a Toyota would be Celica seats, but they look a lot more like racing seats, IIRC.
I'm curious, why didn't you just take the brackets off your old...
Hey, guys, it was great to finally meet several of you today. Everyone I spoke to was exceptionally friendly.
I mentioned this to a couple of people this morning, but didn't get to talk to everyone about it. I've been working toward starting a hot rod shop (I use that term in the catch-all...
Hey, it was great to meet you guys and finally put some faces with some names! I don't anticipate being at GSMTR, but I hope to make it to some more meets soon.
Having spent several years managing a salvage yard/repair shop and seen numerous vehicles half the age of a 60 series have stubborn bushings, I can attest to the veracity of this gentleman's statement.
I'll try and make it if I can get up early enough (I live about 75 minutes away). How long are you guys planning on sticking around if I run a little bit late?
Waiting on some parts to come in, so unfortunately I'll be driving the Matrix.
Jeez, $1350 when you count their core charge.
The split case can be kind of a pain to separate because there aren't any good pry points. The best way I've found is on the lower passenger side are a couple of tabs about 7/8" apart; I center the rounded end of a ball peen hammer between the tabs...
Like Kleatus said, there's a first time for everyone. The FSMs are available on here for free to download. If this is your first time, odds are that there will be a few new tools you'll need to buy, but it sounds like this will already be down for a little while since you're replacing the...
