I've combed over Google and threads here but looking for recent input.
I'm looking at a 2005 GX470, has 229K miles. Timing belt/water pump at 201k. Good service records, regular oil changes.
From what I've found the 05 has the updated vvt-i engine.
My main use would be a trail truck and towing a...
Like the title says, transmission goes forward in all gears.
I've put another neutral/range switch in and make sure the selector matches what the indicator light says.
Fluid has been drained and filled twice.
It only starts in park and neutral but immediately wants to move forward in any gear...
Need some help/advice folks.
Changed my transmission fluid a few weeks ago, dropped the pan and changed filter too. 194k on the 04 LC.
Filled with synthetic to proper amount.
Been driving just fine for about two weeks. Parked and went out in the morning and no drive or reverse, or other forward...
Doing my timing belt, no issue's so far but stuck at sliding off the water pump because of the drivers side timing belt idler. Seems to be a 14mm. I've hit it with a regular socket wrench, breaker bar and impact gun. it wont budge. Afraid I'm going to strip it or break it off.
I've a 100 series...
I've searched and found a few pictures but nothing with details that I need.
Installing a BIOR front bumper I got from a forum member. I have a pretty good idea where I need to cut but want to double check.
Anyone have any close up pics of where to cut the front frame rails?
Thanks all.
I did some googling and didn't find a whole lot, apologies if this is repetitive.
Replaced my DRL's/Highbeams with some inexpensive LED ones from Amazon. They actually seem fairly solid and have a fan built in.
Anyway, my DRL's stopped working. High beams work fine so I know the polarity is...
I'm in the market again for a 100 series. I had a 2004 a few years back and loved it. It was totaled in an accident.
I'm looking at a 99 right now, 202k miles, good maintenance with recent timing belt replacement, great shape and I've got the buyer down to $7300.
I was a big fan of the ATRAC...
Comes with what I believe is the Lexus cable as I had to leave the LC cable in mine.
$150
I think you can call them and order just the cable to work for the LC. That's what I did when I accidentally got the LX cable.
I can take PayPal and will ship for free.
Two brand new. Never got a chance to change them. $15
Also a VAIS Tech SL3B with what I believe is the Lexus cable. I believe you can order the LC cable separately. $150
PM me.
PayPal for payment. I'll ship for free.
Thanks all.
I'm looking at this tent. Anyone done this on a 100 with either stock or aftermarket rack?
I did a search on smittybilt tent in the 100 forum and didn't come up with any results.
It says it's for the JK Jeep but I can't imagine that it wouldn't fit another roof rack.
Thanks in advance.
Still dialing in my new OME t-bars with Slee diff drop and SPC control arms.
If I make sure I have 50mm of droop I'm only achieving 1.25" of lift in the front.
I can crank them to get 2" of lift but then only have about 38mm of droop.
Is this normal? Am I expecting too much lift in front...
Got the OME 2.5 medium lift all done with Slee diff drop and adjustable upper control arms from Slee.
Install went pretty smooth but have ABS/TRAC/ESC lights on.
I was pretty careful with the ABS wire when removing the old upper control arm and installing the new one. Could it just be that I...
I was thinking of adding this to my other thread about OME shock size (https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/why-is-my-new-ome-shock-the-same-as-my-stock-shock.871978/) but thought it might merit it's own thread.
I've since installed my springs with and educated guess based on Jeep lifts I've...
Installing a 2.5" medium lift with diff drop and upper control arms from Slee this weekend, everything going pretty well. Rear springs/shocks done, easy peasy. Working on front end, diff drop and upper control arms in. Both old torsion bars out without too much BFH. Noticed when I unboxed the...
In the middle of a timing belt job for a friends 100 series.
His impact gun isn't getting the job done and we want to try to use the starter bump method.
Don't want to twist off the bolt in the crank.
Can someone tell us real quick if the bolt is right or left hand threaded.
Thanks much.
Does anyone have the safari snorkel template they could take a picture of for me? The long version. I left my template on the garage floor and I parked in the garage during a big snow and the template got partially ruined by water. It's half a mushy mess now.
I think I can recreate the half that...
I did search first so take it easy.
I'm adjusting my headlights and I know where/how to do it but the drivers side wont move up or down. Passenger side wasn't a problem the screws did their jobs but the drivers up/down adjuster laughs in my face.
I've given the assembly a few light taps with...
When I got my LC a month or so ago it had a pretty bad lean and big time stink bug going on. I cranked the TB's over a couple weeks and had it level side to side and about a 1/2 rake instead of the 1 inch or so rake.
I took it to get aligned yesterday and it's back to having a stink bug 1+ inch...
