    Replace Window Motor for Front Passenger

    I didn't have to remove the window or reprogram anything on my 99 to change out the motor assembly.

    105 1999 Landcruiser turns over but no spark.

    I see you have not received any replies - and I apologize for not being more knowledgeable, but what stops me short is your line that the previous owner soldered in direct power to the coils - that is unsettling! I would probably start by undoing this work and return to a stock wiring- then...

    What have you done to your 100 Series this week?

    Fixed my rattling hubcaps with little squares of foam. It only took one per hubcap. I chose the tab with the most worn out bumps for each cap. Pictures are in reverse order. ( Look from bottom up.)

    What have you done to your 100 Series this week?

    Made a simple catalytic converter "shield" from a cheap ¹/⁸ inch steel sheet i found on ebay for $56. Cut it to 17" x 40". I drilled and tapped four 1/4 x 20 threads into the cross member (2) , and into the frame in the front (2). Made 4 wood spacers (3/4" thick). Used blue loctite...

    How-To: TechStream In 5 Minutes

    worked in like 10 minutes - hey, I just turned older, and I do things a bit slower. Changing the bios in my old laptop running windows 10 was needed (previous entry above.) Then needed to look at some youtubes to see how to use the software - I just want to clear air out of the ABS system on...

    Mine would say: "buy a Prius, i need the gas"

    Another Anza Borrego trip. Checked out Calcite mine area's slot canyon, Clark lakebed area, and finally saw the elusive peninsular big horn mountain sheep!

    What have you done to your 100 Series this week?

    Replaced my park plugs after about 90K miles. Was worried about the reported spark plug problems - either too stuck, or too loose, or bathed in oil. None applied - came out fine - looked ready to be replaced but looked fine. Bought from Rockauto - examined them closely and compared to...

    Catalytic converter anti-theft device needed ASAP

    I would prefer this over a skid plate. I like the ability to ventilate. I tried a search on the image name on Google but didn't get a hit. Would be great to find some additional info, or better yet, one to buy!

    Catalytic converter anti-theft device needed ASAP

    Just wanted to confirm with you that I can install just that middle skid plate to (partly) cover the Cat. It looks like it, just wanted to double check with you! Also, regarding aluminum /vs steel. Steel is better able to spring back while aluminum tends to dent/crack. Also, aluminum...

    What have you done to your 100 Series this week?

    AISIN DLT081, for my 99 LC, driver's door. Bought from Rockauto. About $145 w tax and shipping.

    What have you done to your 100 Series this week?

    Replaced my drivers side door actuator, then took apart the door again because the window only went down half way. I needed to reposition the window track. I would change to a different mechanic if this one didn't just work for food. I replaced it with an Aisin part rather than trying...

    Cat stolen on 99 LX, OEM part no longer available?

    What skids are you using? (I had thought that they typically only cover the front of the cats.)

    What transmission fluid for a 99 LC?

    I use old style non-synthetic atf (valvoline from walmart, about 14 a gallon) on the advice of a previous mechanic. Seems to work, the truck still moves and gets great mileage -almost 14 mpg!

    Who bought their 100-series new?

    I did a quick kelly blue book comparison on these: 470: $11,000; Range Rover: $3,000; BMW: $1,000; but MB G is listed as $26,000! (Best left in driveway to impress the neighbors. )

    What have you done to your 100 Series this week?

    Finally got around to replacing the fuel pump I bought over two years ago. (I replaced it preventatively at 184K.) Flintnapper's instructions were all I needed. It is disconcerting to have the thing off and see all that good gasoline down that hole looking for trouble. I appreciated...

    What have you done to your 100 Series this week?

    Yup, I made most everything but the focuser and secondary mirror. Works well. Parts are over engineered to withstand the bumpity bumpity of dirt road travel. My only complaint is that it takes about 20 minutes to put together or pack up.

    What have you done to your 100 Series this week?

    Spent 4 nights in Death Valley. Starting in Olancha and exiting through Eureka rd onto 168. Checked out spots for stargazing. Didn't see a single Land Cruiser! (Shameful! ) saw about 1,000,000 jeeps. They must peel them out like potato chips. (Premium gas at Furnace Creek was...

    What have you done to your 100 Series this week?

    That trailer looks great! It is a Texas product I believe. Have you used it much? Any thoughts? I like that it seems to match to height of the LC, looks like it is built to fit!

    ABS brake booster motor turning on exactly every 10 seconds. No brakes, ABS alarm and warning light

    I replaced the motor and accumulator with new, as Flintnapper did, but also replaced the master brake piston assembly - just another $70 or so. Not much extra work once you have it all out anyway.
