I don't think I missed any bolts on top of the fan shroud. I checked pictures I took during the process, those bolts were definitely taken out at early stage of the process. Somewhere around the taking the radiator out. Hopefully it won't affect any critical component operation.:(
I bought the...
Spend whole day Saturday to change the timing belt by myself. and new Radiator
After all the assembly, I have three extra bolts:bang::bang::bang::cry::cry::cry:
But the car runs and drives fine, I will just pretend those three extra bolts are not from my cruiser.:confused::confused:
For those who want to change this part, here is a great deal.

This is great price.
Procrastinated for too long, decide to take some days off to take care of the truck. Some parts were ordered many many month ago. Just never get the time to put them on.
In past two weeks,
transmission fluid replacement.
Old transmission fluid has turned black, definitely needs change...
Thanks for confirming that. I was so scared when the abs motor still running after 40 seconds. I thought I messed up big time.
I used 7 quarts of Toyota brake fluid. More than usual, but I want to flush the brake line as much as possible.
Hope this brake assembly will last another 100k mile
Replaced both front brake lines
90947-02F29 FRONT LEFT
90947-02F28 FRONT RIGHT
Very easy to swap them out.
However, a lot of brake fluid came out while unscrewing the flare connector. The brake line is probably dry.
Try to bleed the brake system again. This time I noticed the brake motor...
I followed "Timmy the toolman's" videos. Before taking apart the assembly, he asked customer to pump the brake for 40 time to release the pressure in the container. I pumped >30 times until the brake down to floor. In this case, all the brake fluid in the high pressure container came back to...
With the price of the brake assembly with master cylinder getting lower, I think this should become a maintenance item once the truck hit 200K mile. After all, brake is the most important safety feature. $1500 is still high, but it came down from $2500, it is on correct trend now. Toyota, for...
Is there anyone buying old brake booster assembly? Old one is not always make that noise. May be restorable.
Will ship in factory package box.
Add little bit silicon to prevent any water penetration. Not sure if silicon will work here.
2004 LC with 190K miles. Recently the "dying seagull" screeching sound is coming back. Based on the discussion on this forum, replacing the whole assembly is the only solution. If I read correctly, the screeching sound is caused by a deteriorated O-ring inside the master cylinder body. When it...
@2001LC Thanks for the reply.
On McGeorge Toyota website, it shows part 47050-60043 fits my 2004 land cruiser.
Is this the one with the whole assemble with both Master Cylinder and Brake Actuator?
The price does drop a lot. When I first got this issue around 2019, I remember the online...
My land cruiser is 2004 with 190K miles. I first experienced the "dying seagull" or screeching sound on 2019. As I reported here

Now after about 3 years, the issue come back again. I was driving in the...
Second thought about the trip:
I was thinking to go to ski resort in the mountain with snow covered road. It is required to have 4x4 capability to go up to the mountain. But the road is maintained so well that any car can drive up to the ski resort. I lost my chance to brag about my awesome...
Some more update on this in case some body is interested.
I just returned from a 2000 mile trip to New Mexico for Skiing in the mountains. As you can imagine, it is very cold in the morning near the ski resort. I remember seeing 22 degree. So it is very cold.
I am glad to report that, for the...
