repair

Haynes Tacoma, 4Runner, T100 repair manual, 1993 to 1998 in great condition. Just pay shipping. PM if interested

I just came home after being out of town for a month and discovered my garaged 60 has some dings on the fender...the people watching my house are claiming they weren't aware of it or what may have caused it. 🤬😟 Whatever banged into the fender to cause those 4 dings also hit it hard enough to go...

Looking for thoughts on best way to address this. It is surprising to me that there is nobody making repair sections for a 60, as many of them as there is out there! I have posted in the classifieds looking for someone who might have a solid piece on a parts rig, not sure what else to do?

Hey there NC folks. I am in a tough situation and need recommendations for how I can get my 1997 LX450 repaired (after 9 months of waiting) - either by having it towed to a different body shop or ideas for how to help my shop get what it needs. I'll share background below. Let me start by...

To start I have looked at the sticky of shops recommended for 70 series owners. I know there is a shop in LA and Stockton I can go to. I got rear ended, and while it totaled the 4runner behind me, I came out still driveable. A pushed in rear door, a bend in my rear crossmember and probably...

Looking for advice on this runaway corrosion on the frame. It’s the left side rear near the spring. It looks like one of the pre-drilled holes got carried away and this was never addressed. Strange thing is there is zero body rust and the paint is 9/10 for a 2002. If I can find a body shop...

I know Kelly is in Flag. Anyone know of a local shop to do some work? I have a rust bucket.

I have a 2001 LX470 that needs a transmission. I am in Northern California near San Jose. I'm looking for a good shop in the area to R&R the transmission. Any suggestions appreciated.

So any leads on someone who can actually get my windshield sealed up? I had it replaced last July through insurance in Colorado by a company with several referrals from Rising Sun members. Since moving to NC and into its rainy climate in late anigust…it’s evidently not sealed up. I’m in...

Morning all, In the process of installing some additional sound deadening in the back of my LX, I incorrectly thought that I'd disconnected the yellow connector on the driver's side second row seats, pulled the wires out of the rear of the female side. I now have an airbag light on on the...

Hello Everyone. I am looking to restore my Dash pad to my FJ60 (there are a few cracks and one significant tear that will get bigger). However, I just am not looking to spend 2k on the job. I know Just Dashes is amazing quality, but out of my reach! Let me know if y'all have any ideas!

I probably should have made a build thread somewhere along the line 10 years ago.... As I've been slowly reassembling, I'm finding all the little things that need repaired. With the heater and blower complete, I found the cables and they were pretty rough. I searched and found some different...

Hey everyone, I finally got around to pulling the carpet this weekend and found some rust. 🫤 I was planning to put some sound material down before installing the new carpet kit I have - but I want to make sure this is solved first. I know its a known trouble spot on these rigs. I have...

For reference, I've posted this on /r/GXOR as well. I bought a 2006 GX 470 for a very good price, knowing it would need some work. I brought it into my local Toyota dealership instead of Lexus, because we've had great customer service here in the past. I had them spend 2 hours going through...

Hi all. My wipers have slowly been getting worse and hitting the bottom of the windscreen now. I got told about an "easy fix" of replacing some worn plastic windscreen washers. Ordered the (hopefully) correct parts, but I'm having a hell of a time getting them seated. Can anyone advise if in...

On my 84, this is by far the worst area for rust. Passenger side is worse, but both sides need addressed. There is reinforcement here for the rear seat mounts. That's specifically what I'm wondering about. I can cut out tge offending area and replace it with a single patch, but what about the...

Hey guys, long time no see. I’m currently at the ER with a torn bicep muscle. I was putting adding all the anti-squeal plates and retainers the PO left out on the front brakes, some new TT sway bar links and rotating tires on our 100. I went to pull off the last tire (wasn’t even lifting it)...

The door keeper binds and rips from the metal of the door. A backplate is needed to strengthen the area for the new door keeper. I've seen repairs where the door is completely disassembled and angle iron is welded inside. But I've also seen some where they simply bolt a plate to the door; 2...

I understand that dealership is not the go-to place for most forum members' maintenance/repair 😂. But I'm hoping to get recommendation on top Toyota dealers that can work on 100 series better than others when that's the only option. For those of us take road trips often, Murphy's law strikes...

Over the last couple of days I started the roof rehab. I’m actually pretty happy. The rain gutter trim isn’t totally rusted out and needs little repair work. The shell itself, that’s another story… Any advice on working on the shell? I’ve considered buying one of the bathtub refinishing kits...
