    Sunroof Stuck

    I gave up on making this roof work, and just concentrated on fixing the leaks. The brass flathead screw behind the switch panel seems to attach the motor drive to the rotating assembly. Removing this screw would probably allow you to physically pull the roof open and closed without the...

    Sunroof Stuck

    I yanked the drain hoses from the bottom and fished them with stiff wire. I don't know if that's going to do it, because they seemed totally clear up to the top. I rerouted the drain hoses through the drain plugs in the floor and sealed them in the holes with self fusing splicing tape. Fingers...

    Sunroof Stuck

    I hear the motor run for a split second then it stops. I read that it has a protection feature to stop it in the case of an obstruction. Supposedly the protection can by bypassed by holding the switch in the close position for 30 seconds, but that did not seem to work either. Not even sure if...

    Sunroof Stuck

    I haven't driven my LC much in the last 10 years. It's been stored in an underground garage. I start it and move it around periodically, but it hasn't seen any rain, etc. I parked outside and it rained today, and I've got water on the headliner and the floor. I cleared the rocker drains, which...

    Sitting for a Year Won't Start

    The fuel is fine. I started another car that was down there sitting even longer today, and it ran perfectly. I didn't jump on the back bumper to mix it up. I grabbed it by the roof, rocked it, and heard the fuel sloshing all over. There's more new gas than old in there now. I'm heading down...

    Sitting for a Year Won't Start

    That's exactly what I was thinking. I don't have anyone to crank for me while I whack it with a mallet to get it going. They're pretty cheap, so I think I'm going to order one for Friday delivery. Hopefully I don't have to mess around with the fuel filter. I replaced that within the last few...

    Sitting for a Year Won't Start

    It's in a parking garage under a highrise building. So decided not to mess around trying to drain or siphon. I poured in five gallons of premium, gave it a good slosh, and it still didn't fire up. It fires right up with a shot of starting fluid. I'm going to check the fuel pressure next if I...

    Sitting for a Year Won't Start

    It's just under a quarter tank. I was tempted to pour in five gallons of premium today. Then I envisioned myself just adding five additional gallons to my fuel disposal issue. The fuel level is so low, I thought using the fuel pump somehow to get it out would be cleanest, but I may just pull...

    Sitting for a Year Won't Start

    I was going to list it for $8k today. I expected it to fire right up, as usual. I'm super busy with some work projects right now, and it has to go. If somebody gives me a decent offer, and can get it out of here, it's theirs. It's in an underground garage outside of Philadelphia. You can tow...

    Sitting for a Year Won't Start

    Yeah, it cranks. It just won't fire up, and I can smell the bad gas. Here's a few pics. These are a few years old, but it's the same condition. That's the last time it saw snow, and it's always been garaged.

    Sitting for a Year Won't Start

    I haven't driven my truck in about a year. I put a battery in it today, tried to turn it over, and it wouldn't start. Anyone have a suggestion on the best way to address this? I was thinking of draining the gas tank from the plug and putting in new fuel. Will that be enough, or is there a...

    1997 Land Cruiser

    I know I originally posted this a long time ago. I decided not sell, but it's back on the market. Anyone interested, please PM me. I only drove it a few times this year, so the same description applies. I'd like to move it fast before I change my mind again. Thanks. Mike

    1997 Land Cruiser

    Yes, it's back up for sale. The holidays came, then we got hammered with winter storms here. I kind of put the sale on the back burner. Going to get some pics posted later today.

    1997 Land Cruiser

    I've gotten a ton of requests for pics. I got home from work today at 4pm and it was already too dark. I have the day off tomorrow, so I'll have pics up by tomorrow afternoon.

    1997 Land Cruiser

    I'm actually about a block from Philadelphia, in Elkins Park. I'm just off 611, near Cheltenham Ave. I work in Bala Cynwyd and Newtown Square. So, I pass by Havertown regularly, it's a nice area.

    1997 Land Cruiser

    No lockers. I was looking for one with lockers when I bought this. This one was so nice at the time, I just bought it. I've never been stuck, and never needed the lockers. So I guess it was a good call.

    1997 Land Cruiser

    It's time to sell my beloved Cruiser. I've had it for about ten years. If I remember correctly, it had about 80k miles when I got it. It was regularly serviced at the dealer, just had an axle job done, and was in mint condition. Under pressure from the family, I finally caved in and bought a...

    Brushes without removing alternator? Realtime help!

    My battery would not hold a charge. Maybe it was just the battery? Acted just like a dying alternator: lights dimming, radio cutting out, etc. Picked up a new 24F battery today at wally world. I don't think my leads would never reach a group 65. It's charging up now, and I'll head back...
