maintenance

Hello Everyone i recently put my 100 Series in the shop to get the Front CV Axles replaced entirely, but my father made a comment about suspesnion and how it would be a good idea to replace meanwhile it is taken apart. i have it all OEM and no work has been done to it since it came off the...

Hi all, I have a 2004 Gx470 with over 250k miles. A few years ago It overheated on me once and come to find out it was low on coolant. Filled it up and forgot all about it. Flash Forward to earlier this week when I got out of the car the coolant over flow was steaming. Didn’t have any thing...

Hi all, My 2013 Lx570 feels unstable on the highway. Feels like the rear end is loose. Any thoughts? There is also a clunk sound going over speed bumps almost like the spare is hitting something. I removed the spare but same issue. Sensor lift with spacers in all 4 corners and panhard bar...

Hello, Not sure if there are similar posts on the forum but wanted to create mine to ask some questions and understand better what I actually need. So I'd like to change transfer case and differential oil, transmission fluid, power steering fluid, etc. I'm not going to do everything in the...

Hello, I’m experiencing persistent vibration issues with my 2010 GX460. On November 1, 2023, at 155,452 miles, I replaced the driver’s side wheel bearing, hoping to resolve a constant humming noise typical of a bad hub bearing. While the noise reduced slightly, it didn’t fully go away and...

Hi all, new to the forum and cruisers. I recently had a full timing belt service completed on my 2007 which included the timing belt and water pump replacement at 170,000 miles. However, several weeks later I realized on the receipt documentation that the timing belt tensioner was NOT replaced...

Started out with the idea of changing timing belt and pulleys etc. Well it turned in to much more. Seems the evaporator and compressor need to be replaced as well as dropping the tranny for rear main seal. While down there I figured what the hell I ought to replace cv driveshafts and bushings to...

Hello everyone, I am excited to be back on Mud with my new to me 2005 LX470. My goal here is to say hello first, have place to document the maintenance and further built of this nice rig as well as to ask for feedback how to make this a more reliable and enjoyable overland truck. I had a 200...

I just purchased a 2014 with 42k miles, I'm going to start driving it a lot more than the last guy did. Any recommendations on services/maintenance I should do because of the age of the car and not the miles? It still has its original tires and brakes! 

Looking for some maintenance guidance, on trying to get ahead of stuff on my 04 100 series no AHC. Its time to refresh the front end, doing service the other day I noted its time for ball joints, CV axles (was going to reboot but figured with everything else I'm doing and not sure how long the...

I previously had a 1989 FJ62, still regret selling that! Had to be done unfortunatley due to circumstances. I picked up this 2006 Land Cruiser a few weeks ago as my daily driver. It is in pretty good shape, and I am starting the normal maintenance (fluids, TPMS (ARGH), and lots more I am sure I...

My 97 90 Series Prado is arriving today. My plans are to start with a Oil/Filter and Coolant Flush, later this week. I've searched the forum and it didn't yield me much info. A web search us suggesing a 10w-30 conventional Diesel oil. I've used Rotella T4 for the last 25 years in my previous...

I’m unable to reset my tires, oil and filter change date past 2/2024. Do i need a software update to push past the date limitation?

I think this means my rig can finally buy booze for itself… When I get back from this trip I’ll add posts with details about how a 200k mile 200 is holding up. Short story: incredibly well.

My steering rack has been weeping since before I got the vehicle 5 years ago from the driver side boot. Everything else is seemingly fine in the system. Would I regret not replacing the pump, reservoir, and associated lines? It nearly triples the cost of parts when you include the high pressure...

2015 with 84 k on the clock. I was told I have a bad rear wheel bearing. Has anyone experienced this? Does anyone have an idea on what this could cost?

Trying to sell my 2000 LC Land Cruiser runs and drives well. I have had a ton of maintenance done to the truck over the past year and I would trust this thing to go anywhere. Recent u joints front and rear all fluids changed to synthetic new denso radiator (also have an aluminum 4 row...
