Being inherently trustworthy to a fault and making beginner mistakes; what I had thought what a rust free Texas truck turned out to be not so much. After finding wet carpet I’ve gone on the hunt and found a rust hole in the driver’s floor (conveniently located right next to the drain plug) the...

Hello all, If anyone can give me some advice on where to start, I'd be very grateful! I'm up in the hills of VA currently, and I just had some work done on my 98. Mieneke (only place close by that had time to do the work in less than a week) just did my U bolts. On my 6 hr drive up here they...

I've never installed windows of any kind before and roped these in with some help from my Dad. My question is after looking at these, there is a small gap in the same exact place (top forward facing corner towards front of truck) on both driver and passenger sides of the new windows after...

And how screwed am I? I was underneath doing an oil change, decided to look around, and noticed oil residue on what I believe is the transmission pan and transfer case. Tried to get some decent pictures, but didn’t do great. The transmission pan has staining and the transfer case has it quite...

Hello! I decided to tackle the timing belt myself. Was following the OTRAMM video and all was good well until it was time to put the belt in. Half of me thinks I am in time, and the other half of me thinks I’m way out. It took me a long while to actually get the belt on for some reason since the...

Hey yall! So I just got a 1990 Land Cruiser Prado EX5. Just over 100k miles on it. I have absolutely loved it so far. Here’s where I need some help, I think I saw a thread about this, but can’t find it now so if anyone knows where that’s at then just send me that direction… But I was driving...

Hey, I just bought a 1996 landcruiser with 199k miles. Lots of good stuff and lots of things that also need fixing etc. This morning whilst driving I made a hard turn and water splashed out from the top of my windshield it looks to be right where the headliner meets the windshield. It wasn’t...

Hello, I was checking out my truck and saw these connectors I’m not sure what they are for. Thought I would ask here as yall know best. The first one is in the back corner of the engine bag near the power steering pump. The next one is by the headers next to what looks like a drain valve (I’m...

Hello, I have a 2004 LX470 with around 170k miles. It recently had an engine swap, and has been dying when the steering wheel is turned when hot. Apparently this bolt looking piece (attached picture) is broken and is leading to a vacuum issue. The mechanic I talked to sprayed brake cleaner at...

Hello, I recently just did my power steering lines and steering rack myself. I noticed the high and low pressure lines are leaking where they connect to the steering rack. I could not torque them to specs as I did not have enough room. If I take it to Toyota would they torque them down and fix...

Mine is rusted out. I currently have a body shop working on it. They were going to fab the metal but decided it would be better to find one to use. I am trying to get in touch with 2 sellers on Alibaba, but I have to buy at least 5 sets (drivers and passengers), and then have it shipped from...

Hello, I am replacing the steering rack in my 2000 LC. I have a few questions that i hope you guys can answer. So I am getting new bushings and all that. I just need to know if i should get new spacers, bolts (maybe called studs) and banjo bolts. I plan on doing this myself before I replace the...

Hello, I have attached everything I am buying for suspension plus wheel bearings. Please let me know if I’m missing anything I’ve tried to get everything I could think of (except for springs). I did my best to add everything I could but another pair of eyes always helps. Thank you.

Hello, I was recently replacing my rear caliper slide pins. I had to take a brake as my calipers were messed up and had to order news ones. Going back to it I don’t remember which hole the slide pin with the rubber piece goes. Does it matter which hole or position it is in? I’m worried it’ll get...

Hello, I’ve noticed that after driving my 100 series the engine stays warm for extended periods of times after turning it off. It stays at the running temp (180 degrees Fahrenheit) for maybe 30 min to an hour. I just replaced the thermostat and it has plenty of coolant. I need to do the timing...

Hello. Longtime lurker first time posting. Apologize if the question has already been asked or if I am posting in the wrong thread. I swear I have read almost every thread on tire size for the 100 series but cannot find a solid answer. My cruiser has a 2.5" OME lift and ARB front bumper. I want...

Hello, I am replacing my exhaust manifold, I am getting the manifold from DT. I've read the gaskets are bad and decided to get OEM ones along with new studs and bolts. I put a screen shot below of all the stuff (from partsouq). Does this look like the correct items and amount of them I need? I...

Hello, I just recently put new tires on my truck. I put on Nokian Outpost nAT 285/75/16. The tire place and many others are unsure if they are going to be able to do an alignment since they are not OEM size. What have you guys done or have you had a similar issue?

Hello, I recently got a 2000 LC. It has been a Cali truck all its life except its spent the past couple years in Maine. There was almost no rust on the frame, just on the welds and the axel had some decent rust in some spots. I spent time getting away most of the rust then painting it with...

Hello, I was just replacing my coolant when a bug flew in. It was smaller than a fly, a pretty small bug, maybe a little bigger than a gnat. I'm worried about future damage and plugging of passageways that could lead to damage. Should I be concerned about this, or is it no big deal? I would...
