VSC TRAC and VSC OFF lights on the dash
Radio and dome lights completely dead
Power mirrors not working
Key fob no longer reliably locks/unlocks
AC memory and trip...
Hello, I have seen multiple threads on starting issues (sorry if this is a redundant post) but I was hoping to get some more specific advice with my vehicle if possible. I have a 2004 LX470 with around 170k miles and recently had an engine swap (a few months ago) from I believe was a 2003 tundra...
Hey howdy, new around here but have been lurking for at least 6 months. Seems a lot of you have some helpful advice, so here go’s it.
First a little about me and my cruiser, I bought my hunk of junk nearly a year ago and have big dreams. My fiancé and I are working towards building a good...
Hi Everyone,
Boy is this install guide not great, pretty confident that it has taken me twice as long as necessary due to having to intuit for the steps or photos that aren’t given.
In the guide, for step “F - Final alignment,” it says to install the remaining 12 flat stainless steel screws...
Hoping to get some insight on what direction I should go with a shifting issues on my 08 470.
The issue: when asking for acceleration around 30 MPH, the car seems to hesitate a bit and then harshly downshift. The feeling ranges from a slight thud to feeling like I got lightly rear ended. It...
Hi everyone,
Been dealing with 2 intermittent problems with my 1995 FJ80
1) a very small "surging" feeling of at idle and I can't figure out what's causing it. Sometimes there will be a tiny surge and it will struggle to keep rpm up and will shake or car will die at a stop -
2) When driving...
For context / Under 50k miles asking 44k in TX, truck was from the north east, carmax assured me they don't sell rusty vehicles ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Is this rust a deal breaker? Thoughts on what it might cost to get it treated/removed?
Appreciate any help, thanks!
Hi all! Having some real issues with my 2001 LX470 that now has 250k miles. Truck has been meticulously maintained and has had all maintenance items followed on schedule. Recently, while driving on the highway, the truck lost all power (no give when hitting the gas) and the power steering locked...
I was driving my truck home last night from work my power steering stopped and my battery light came on. I knew it was the belt and pulled over. That is when I smelled coolant. I opened the hood and the fan bracket had come apart and put the fan into the radiator. I have all the parts and have...

Hi all,
I'm currently working on a 1979 ute body Land Cruiser project and am looking to replace the tub with a pre-1979 model, due to the changes made in the floor design in later models. I've come across a tub for sale, which is believed to be from a model between 1973 and 1976.
I'm trying to...
With the twin stick install completed by @torfab it's time to decide what gauges I install in the DVS console. Planning to run Autometer Ultra-Lite gauges, which give great visibility and have been durable in previous builds.
I have 3 holes to fill -
One will definitely be transmission temp...
Think what you will!
