Back in September our 1997 manual SR5 got Tboned by a 16 year old making a Uturn on a main 5 lane arterial. Whoops.
While we waited for the state to determine what to do with the title status a 97 Limited with a bad motor came on the market.
So... now we have a 1997 Limited SR5....
Limited...
I recently purchased a 2011 that only has 1 key. Everything on it works.
I ordered a key from Amazon that claims to fit this - which it did not.
My key is a HYQ14AEM and the replacement sent was a HYQ14AAB.
Ok, the seller didn't have a listing forthe correct key so I sent it on it's way...
Anyone know where in Techstream this might be?
It's completely inoperable but there isn't a code that I can find nor a computer to connect to in Techstream....
2001 LX470. Selling because we picked up a 200 series and we don't offroad....
The good:
Timing belt replaced 5k sho including hoses and Toyota coolant. This includes pulleys and the fan bracket. All Aisin.
~32" Cooper ATP tires on non-chrome Lexus trims (from a 2000 LX)
20% tint all around...
Well... here I am. I've been in the 40 group (71 with 350/350 MS EFI tear down to the frame, 76 parts), the 60 group (88), the 80 group (93 triple locked), 100 group (00 LX for a short stint and an 01 LX we have, but for sale), and even the T4R group (97 manual SR5 currently).
Yesterday we...
Looked at a BC 200 series and I'm in the states. Wasn't perfect but the KMH and Celsius were making me nuts (still has MPH in the inner ring, but....).
The KMH to MPH seemed to be for the nav and I didnt see a setting (at least in the 30 mi I looked at it for) to change the climate controls...
So whilst doing the timing belt...
This was on top of the A/C compressor.
Looks like it might go to a timing cover but I obviously didnt unbolt it- looks like it might fit in somewhere and then be held in place by another part that bolts in.
Its plastic with grooves around to fit in or...
Have a family member who is in a bit of a family emergency and needs a vehicle he can take his kids in, is 4wd... he wants Japan built and loved our 100 series.
He is about a 6 hour drive from where the vehicle is located but currently gets his kids (court approved... long story) on the...
Working on the timing belt. Aisin belt.
Everything was lined up perfect, installed tensioner (have not pulled the pin) and the cams rotated counter clockwise this much.
Crank did not rotate. This doesn't look off a tooth. but concerned that if I pull the pin and full tension is applied that...
Why not start a thread here too....
Current stable is an 01 LX470, an 88 FJ62, a Prius V, and now a 96 4Runner, 3.4, 4x4, manual.
We've also had a couple 40s and a 3x locked 80 series. I had an 86 runner about 15 years ago but this isn't anything like that of course.
The fj62 is under the...
As the title says... and I'm curious.
It seems that the design is quite poor, frankly. Looking up automotive roof gutter rust and repair - in the custom world it's common to just cut them off and allow the water to run down the side.
Curious if anyone has done that. I am in the middle of...
Due to little interest I've decided I'm just going to fix and keep it. Might be done in a month or 3 years but it's becoming a garage queen until then.
As the title states - trying to see what the sheetmetal looks like without the headliner in.... searched but little came up (lots of discussions, few photos).
TIA
Just got the first gen SOR rear sliding windows installed. At least I was told they were SOR.
There was an emblem that said CR Laurence and those initials were etched into the glass.
I had them sent to me with the promise I would get info out as to what causes the leaks and/or how to fix...
Having issues with high beams on our 88 FJ62, go figure.
I'm 90% sure I've narrowed it down to, most likely, a wire that's broken or grounded after 12v splits to high/low.
High beams dont work
High beams dont have 12v
The high beam indicator works
The low beams turn off
Here's the interesting...
So.... have had the 100 series about a year. We've been hit with snow, more snow, and snow. This region is known for barely freezing temps causing compacted snow and ice, which never gets plowed.
Last snow regiment we had our 3x locked 80 series on BFG KO3s. It was a beast and never an...
Photos to follow.
Was looking for a manual 4 Runner or a Manual Matrix XRS/Vibe GT (2zzge).... and instead, came across the ad for this yesterday. At the price, I couldn't pass it up. While it isn't a manual, it definitely stands in it's own rightful place of fun/awesome. I made an offer...
Mostly clean vehicle, as far as I can tell it's mostly all stock.
There's an odd story behind it - I did not verify. 1 owner prior to me, just the person I bought it from (a broker) bought it at auction. Supposedly interior was perfect at auction show off, then came across the block with some...
Thought I would put some of what's going on down on "paper", so why not mud?
Anyone who has seen my posts in the pet section might know we have/have had 3 GSD's (German Shepherd Dogs).
All 3 came from the same breeder. They breed amazing temperament dogs and have excellent certification for...
