    Looking for rubber steering rack bushings, too much feed back in steering from polly

    @2001LC do you have a link where you purchased these bushings? I just called CVJ and they are no longer selling just the bushings. They recommended Ployurethane, but I'd like to stick to the rubber if I can source them. Checked ebay but didn't see them either. Appreciate any help. Edit: I...

    Exhaust Manifold Leak

    Attempted to removed the heat shields today to try and patch the manifolds and the bolts holding them on were completely rusted and the heads just rounded off. Looks like I won't be able to try and patch. Does anyone have know if the heat shields come off with the manifolds? My next step is...

    AHC Accumulator Removal - Quick and Dirty

    @perryazevedo been a little while since I did this so I went back to my videos. I actually was unable to get a wrench on there and turn the accumulator bolts. What I did was removed the bottom bolts and then used a pry to bend the accumulator up. That gave me enough access to get a...

    AHC Accumulator Removal - Quick and Dirty

    Good to know the correct terminology. Most folks on here call them accumulators. I used a ratcheting wrench on the accumulator bracket bolts that are on top of the frame. You’ll get 1/16 of a turn so it just takes a while. I also cut the hydraulic lines with a reciprocating saw and bent them...

    Poll on total brake failure in 100 series

    @Haulinvols The key driver on price is parts. The pump assembly can from $700ish (rebuilt) to $1650 (brand new from dealer). If you can provide your own parts to this shop you could get yourself a better deal. I want to say the job is around 5-6 hours of labor to replace pump and bleed the...

    Master Cylinder Rebuild - DIY

    @gatormark91 is on it. You're dancing around the mileage where the pump fails. Especially if the truck has seen city mileage/stop and go traffic. The more you stop the more frequent that pump works in relation to mileage. Sounds like you are not in a pinch yet, but I do recommend finding a...

    Awesome, thanks for the info! Definitely more 100s in my future, so i'll just plan to deal with this as it comes. Glad you were prepared for the failure and stayed safe.

    Poll on total brake failure in 100 series

    Where’d you get the part? OEM Toyota part? I paid $1600 for the part and about $500 for labor 3 years ago

    Exhaust Manifold Leak

    @erkelbot did you ever mess with your manifolds? I've got bad gas mileage combined with exhaust smell in the cab, so I'm thinking this is the issue. Would like to do a cheap fix if possible as I'm sitting at 330k miles.

    Undercarriage burning smell

    @Drogon did you ever figure out where this smell came from? I have the same burning plastic smell going on with my LX and cannot for the life of me figure it out. No evidence of grease leaking. Valve covers were replaced recently with no leaks currently. No evidence of anything...

    AHC Accumulator Removal - Quick and Dirty

    Damn right! Felt good to break those things off after trying the wrench for about an hour. A couple beers later and the pry bar/persuader usually makes an appearance.

    AHC Accumulator Removal - Quick and Dirty

    Mud, I recently removed the accumulators on my '99 LX to make room for Metal Tech Land Cruiser Sliders. The top bolts on the accumulator assemblies were damn near impossible to get to and even when I got the wrench on I may have gotten 1/16 of a turn on the bolt head. I ended up removing the...

    AHC Equipment Removal

    Want to share this information for future users. I was able to skip removal of the top bolts by using a pry bar. This allowed me to quickly remove the Accumulator assemblies. I made a video on how I did it. Since they were trash anyway, might as well destroy them!

    Exhaust/burning smell in cabin at operating temp

    @Mike NXP good call, i will take a look this evening. Appreciate the info. @ewineryd can't rule anything out so I appreciate this as well. Since grease is an easy check I'll start there then move to the AC system. Thanks all, will report back what I find.

    Exhaust/burning smell in cabin at operating temp

    @trdcorolla Really appreciate you mentioning this. Makes perfect sense that it could be grease related given the symptoms. I do have an inner CV boot that's leaking...maybe that's it. When you say Zerks, are you talking about the ones that lube the axle slip yokes? I haven't greased those...

    Exhaust/burning smell in cabin at operating temp

    Hey all, hoping I can get some guidance for a smell coming from my LX. ‘99, about 330k miles. About 45-60 minutes into a long drive with AC and recirculate on I get a strong burning smell coming out of the vents. At first I thought it was a burning rubber type smell but after a few months it...

With the diagram from @planomateo and following the current described in the door locking functionality, I was able to narrow my issue to the circuit on the D/L (U) Relay which activates the unlocking of all passenger doors and hatch (this is the...

    removing the driver side junction box help

    @rfenio did you end up removing the junction box? How did it go? Any tips for removing it? I'm having door locking issues. I've traced the issue to one of the circuits that incorporates a Door Lock Relay (Specifically the D/L (U) Relay on the diagram). I've had plugged sunroof drains before...
