failure

Will be interesting to see what broke. Given the conditions nothing should have failed.

So, there are times when I crank my 100 and.... I release the ignition too soon, it happens. I then re-crank and it turns over and she sounds like a jalopy. It kind of does that like clunk engine sound and then cranks over. Honestly I don't think much of it, but today, today was different. I...

I recently purchased a 1999 Land Cruiser 100 series with 135,000 miles on it. The truck came from an estate, and has only been driven 10,000 miles in the past 10 years. Over all the truck has been well taken care of, always garage kept and no rust or other issues that I am aware of. I am in the...

This morning I noticed a whomp whomp sound that went away with higher RPMs. It has been single digits here and so I chalked it up to being cold and grouchy. My commute is about 27 miles. When I got to work it had worsened. Went to the jail and it was still present when I finished. At a stop...

Two months ago the alternator in my parents’ 1999 started making a weird whirring/moaning noise, and about two days later stopped charging. Replaced it with a reman unit from my local dealer. This week that unit started making the exact same noise. It’s still charging at the moment but the...

Hi folks -- I have a 2011 LX with 150k miles on the clock. Starter is original. Never had any issues until tonight. Here's what happened... Tried to start and nothing happened (maybe some clicking?) Pressed start again and didn't start Pressed start again and heard clicking Turned vehicle...

Hello all, the alternator on my 2005 LX470 with 150k miles has failed after a week or so of letting me know via slightly squealing. Totally dead now, and I need to dig in and replace it. I'm looking at the Denso 210-1099 as a replacement, but I want to proactively replace the tensioner and...

After 35 years of ownership I find myself diving into the possibility of brake booster replacement. All the other braking components in the system, including the booster check valve, have been thoroughly assessed and the symptoms of a very stiff brake pedal resistance with increased stopping...

The breakdown: Having just completed a 2200 mile trip to Indianapolis, IN and back, my 100 was running great, until the next day. On that day, I drove north of town (in a blizzard and salt/slop storm) and I heard a faint 'click' while driving and the engine died at 55 mph. I peeled over to the...

Hi, quick question to see if anyone else has experienced this. Will start by saying our 2001 build incorporated a large number of Slee products and I’m a big fan of the company, so this a very part-specific and not about Slee overall in any way. I have reached out to them on this but haven’t...

After 6 months we had a break failure on our 3 door 2022 land cruiser, basically you would pump the brake pedal and nothing would happen, we could see the fluid in the reservoir drop and then the fluid return but it had air in it, a local garage put it on their ramp and saw no signs of leaking...

I took my 95 LC 4.5L to get smogged, it passed every thing, but the EGR valve wont hold a vacuum. I replaced the valve and still it wont hold a vacuum, so I am getting a replacement. Is he doing the test correctly? its in idle when he attempts. if i remember correctly my 88 4runner had a...

I have an extremely odd brake issue. It started out a couple of times when I went to hit the brakes it went to floor with little resistance and zero stopping. I quickly pumped the pedal and had full strong braking. As you can imagine this was quite alarming. I checked everything I could and...

So I have a Tesla navigation unit (made be “Seicane”). I have gotten the a/c to function in the front, but I have no audio nor any rear a/c. Does anyone know how to remedy these issues with these Tesla units? Pictures is my mess of wires, I figured the “amp-c” wire may help with audio since I...

1993 part time converted fzj, locked and modded (see signature for full deets) So in June 2022 I completed the part time conversion, Aisin Gold Hubs, spool etc. I believed I had/have the shorter earlier birfields so I thought everything was fine. Anyway this last Sunday we wheeled Spring...

2009 LX570 with 169k miles. 20-40A of aftermarket loads on occasion. Swapped out this failing alternator that showed symptoms of low voltage and not sufficiently charging the starting battery. https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/rth-alternator-suspect-voltage-output.1316746/ Tore this down...

I have been lurking the forums for a while, we bought the LC about 1.5yrs ago with 170K on the clock. Fell in love with it more than I ever thought, same will all members of the family, the quiet and comfortable ride is hard to beat. Vehicle is basically bone stock, just high miles. Vehicle has...

First off I would like to sincerely thank all of those that have come before me providing excellent content for the all of the owners out there in the world to read and assist with problems. I purchased a 2004 LX470 during covid in 2021 and it has taken me two years to identify my AHC and VSC...
