    ABS Module Wires Chewed

    Hi Forum, The wires to the ABS controller on our 99 LC were chewed by a rodent trying to get warm. Does anyone have any experience with the wiring harness in this area?

    Hard brake lines and proportioning valve

    I replaced the rusted dust shields on the back of a 1991 JDM HDJ81 in November last year. I had trouble with the hard lines for brakes and I used the rubber lines to rotate as the copper ones were just corroded. I have seen the "manifold" where they all go, or is it the proportioning valve?? It...

    Brake Booster Constantly Running

    Howdy y'all. I'm a new fresh GX470 owner, bought a 2003 a couple weeks ago. There's a periodic chugging/cycling noise coming from the brake booster/accumulator/reservoir area that happens constantly when the ignition is turned to ON or the vehicle is running. Brakes work fine and there are no...

    Rear brake rebuild advice

    Howdy, Two weeks ago JUST as I got home after a short drive in the cruiser ('90 62) I lost my brakes. This past weekend I started tearing open the rear drums which I do not think had been looked at in 3 years or maybe more. I managed to get the drums off (took some serious encouragement from...

    100 Series Brakes - OEM or Aftermarket?

    HALP! Looking into replacing my brakes and was initially leaning towards R1 concepts. Naturally, there's a lot of conflicting sentiment towards them. So, I'm wondering if I should just keep things simple and stick with OEM calipers, rotors, pads, brake drum, & (aftermarket) SS brake lines -...

    Master cylinder bubbling (BJ40)

    Had a pressure switch leak on my master cylinder and it drained the res while sitting for a couple years. Finally got around to filling and bleeding the system and come across this strange issue. On fast strokes of the pedal, large bubbles come up in the rear fluid reservoir. On slow strokes...

    Those dang knuckle threads

    So I plan on doing the dreaded front knuckle rebuild and while I am doing that I am going to be replacing the steering knuckle studs and brake pads. Any other quick maintenance I should do while I have things torn apart in the front end?

    3rd Brake Light Not Working

    Hello, I purchased my 02 LX470 several months ago and was going through the car top to bottom and discovered the infamous water leak from the 3rd (high mount) brake light on top of the tailgate. The PO attempted a bodge job with butyl tape to seal it. The housing was bowed from the sun and...

    So, these are my pouting words from a defeated man. I just now decided after breaking my new windshield during the install, that working on this FJ40 isn’t bringing me the pleasure it once did.

    100 series brake job

    I plan on replacing my front brake pads this weekend. In the process I also plan on resurfacing the rotors. Might as well give the hub some attention as well. If the parts aren't destroyed, would I need to replace the bearing seals, bearings, gaskets, etc in the hub or can I just repack? As...
