Everything worked great, its been about 1500 miles and yesterday my wife heard a loud ping and had no steering. I was able...
Hey Mud, I've exhausted my troubleshooting skills on my CDL not engaging when it should.
I have a 1996 LX450 (no locking front or rear diff) with 144.5k miles, stock aside from adding the factory dash CDL switch.
When you turn the key to ACC and it does the bulb check, ABS lights up but the...
I would like to find a functioning yellow landcruiser bottle jack with a cracked / broken base ( as many are ). Let me know what you've got kicking around & the asking price!
Thanks!
Another member bought his cable here and got it to work:
New Mini VCI J2534 OBD2 Diagnostic Tool Code Reader for Lexus Toyota Techstream | eBay
I've got a 2003 LX470 so after reading that seller's info(mine is older than the other members) bought the other cable with K-line support(whatever...
Pretty crappy morning today....battery in our 04 is dead and the hood release will not work. The cable must have snapped or become disconnected somewhere.
A quick search doesn't show too much....can you get the hood open by finagling something through the grille?
Any urgent help would be...
The rear most of these on my rig has broken off at the nipple where it ties into the fuel vapor separator gizmo.
Anyone have any clever ideas on how to remedy this, without replacing the entire assembly?
I thought that perhaps I could cap it and find a place to secure it above tank level. I...
have any of you seen an auto-dimming rear view mirror stop working? I bought a '98 LX470 in January, and the rear view mirror doesn't auto dim, the button in front doesn't do anything, and what appears to be a small light on the front doesn't illuminate. I was wondering if it simply isn't...
Today i was going to do the 7 pin mod on my truck. After opening up my dash, i came across an old car alarm that the PO never told me about. So since i was already there, i made up my mind to remove that alarm before it starts giving me problems. While removing it, i opened my hood (this turned...
Hello all,
Just discovered the crankshaft in my 1970 FJ40 is broken. Heres the background:
1975 2F swapped in before I bought the truck five years ago. Previous owner said engine had been rebuilt recently. I had no reason to doubt him. Engine was very clean, ran great, and didn't leak or burn...
I just picked up the 2016 Version of the LED 9006's from E-bay and WOW !! they make a big difference !!! After the install I need to adjust them down a bit and wanted to make sure I'm not missing something because I have NO movement with the top adjuster screw...
Bulb's that I installed...
I went to change my thermostat (91 FJ80) and broke the rear left bolt on the housing. I think about half an inch of the bolt is still down there.
I've extracted broken bolts before, but never on an engine/ installed auto part.
How would you go about getting that broken bolt out?
I know some of you take the flares off and patch the holes....not interested in doing that.
So just had an experience at Zips Car Wash in my 80. Went in, heard a loud bang, and it ripped my front drivers side fender flare off. Pulled it off and broke 2-3 clips. I didn't even notice it until...
I could not leave well enough alone and tried to remove the screws holding the butterfly to the shaft. I was able to get them out and might even have enough threads left to put new ones back in. But these screws were staked into the shaft, so does anyone know how to reinstall these screws the...
I'm 200 miles from home, hauling a trailer and havin a great time when suddenly while pressing the gas the pedal locks out at the floor and won't budge. Strange thing is that instead of going full blast the carb is sitting at about 1400RPM worth of fuel flow. I pull off in a little town called...
Ugh.
I was advised to tighten my rear brackets in order for my tailgate to be tighter and rattle less. While tightening, the screw broke. :bang:
I have no f**king idea what to do. I've tried to unscrewing with needle nose and I aint moving.
Hey all,
so on my last couple of wheeling trips, my rear locker has been less than enthusiastic about engaging and disengaging. On the last trip, it would engage at all. not even with some "encouragement" from some hammer taps. well, I figured it needed a rebuild so I took off the rock guard...
So I believe I broke my first front axle. It was bound to happen sooner or later. Wasn't even playing hard. I unlocked the hub and was able to drive it back to a place I could leave it and come back with a trailer but it wouldn't turn left. Is this just the birfield or is there also...
On the way back from Coyote Lake last weekend, I broke the passenger knuckle studs, forcing the knuckle and wheel off the truck (destroying the knuckle bearings (SPC 3 degree bearings) and leaving me stranded. I ended up being able to load the truck onto a trailer and get it home.
Now I am...
