timing belt

Hello, I had the timing belt done on my 4Runner and the mechanic sent me a message that it has a CEL on and is throwing the P0011 Code. He provided videos of the timing belt and everything appears to be timed up well and that the belt is tight. See below. Here is the left Cam Right Cam...

Hi all I understand the typical service schedule to replace TB is about 100K. And from searching I do see some talk about age as well. But not sure how many years would be recommended to change. I guess storage condition would factor in. My new to me '99 LC 100 has a bit over 100k miles. 113k I...

I've owned four vehicles with 2UZ engines and between them have replaced the timing belt several times. This weekend I helped a friend replace the TB/WP on his truck. He was most concerned with the cam crank timing aspect of it as I think most people who have never done it are. I've always...

I had reset the T-Belt light before doing the timing belt and once i buttoned everything up after driving for about 5 miles, all these lights appeared, hit the reset button for the T-Belt once again and shut off car and lights went away, drove another 2 miles and lights havent appeared but what...

2000 Land Cruiser built in December 1999 with 183,000 miles. First time doing the timing belt. Here are a few photos. Replaced with OEM Mitsuboshi belt. Looks like the rubber has dried out a bit however after more than 22 and a half years I suppose that's to be expected. Truck operates in a hot...

Hello fellow 90 series owners! I took delivery of my KZJ95 a little less than 2 months ago. I have been slowly taking care of baselining. Spending most of my time changing ball joints, suspension, and taking care of surface rust. However, the biggest issue that still needs to be addressed is...

I purchased this Land Cruiser in September 2020 from an owner in Encino, CA. It runs great and everything works. It was completely stock when I took possession and there is zero rust! It has the factory rear locker which is a great upgrade. It currently sits at 203,500 miles. History I’m the...

Dear Friends, Here is yet another timing belt installation DIY step by step you can follow. In my case I used Otrams Videos which were very helpful in getting the TB removed and installed back up. I took the time to get the time stamp from each step of OTRAM's videos so you can click on...

As per the usual arrangement, of course I can't have any peace during christmas. Coming back 2 nights ago from christmas shopping with the family, front A/C on, rear A/C on, high beams on, horn working, and then suddenly the car starts the dreaded "low voltage" beeping, center console TV starts...

I recently purchased a 2007 LC with 170K miles and took it in for a post purchase inspection. I thought I would post one of their findings to see if I can get a collective opinion here. The mechanic found that the alternator and timing belt are covered in oil and suspects that the leak is...

After months of looking, I finally picked up a 2000 LC with 219k. The previous owner said it was well maintained and had another 06 himself. He was actually the second owner and his neighbor was the first. He was given some error codes by Toyota equaling up to about $5k. Thinking I could...

First post of any substance. I met someone whose 170K 2007 LX470 overheated. Diagnosis revealed the cause to be due to transmission fluid in the antifreeze solution. Leading to overheating and a blown upper radiator tank. Assume the transmission cooler inside the radiators opened up and that was...

So, as some may know the 500K mile Tiki Cruiser would not start this weekend. Or rather, it started up and almost immediately shut off and then would only crank/no-start. After multiple tests and rabbits holes chased after 6+ hours of reading threads on my mud. I took the off the passenger side...

For sale: Black 2004 GX470, with 2" Dobinson's lift, RRW Bronze wheels and 285 BFG's nearly new 156,000 Miles, AMAZING mechanical condition; strong V-8, does not burn, leak or otherwise use any oil. Transmission shifts perfectly. All the fasteners in the chassis and suspension are like new...

I have a 1993 4Runner with the 3.0l v6. It seemed to have a new lack of power last week, along with a low idle. Then Friday morning it died leaving my house, and wouldn’t start again. I have spark at all six plugs, I’m also getting fuel. Further diagnosis revealed that there is ZERO...

Hello all - thank you in advance for your thoughts on this issue. I have a 2006 Land Cruiser (3rd owner) - currently 140,000 miles - that has good maintenance history and is rust free (always a Southern California vehicle). The timing belt / water pump / thermostat were changed just prior to...

I am in the middle of timing belt job and have managed to break off the lower alternator bolt. Now I am not sure what's the best way to deal with this. Any suggestions are most welcome. Also, anyone have the part number for the bolt itself?

in 3,000 miles, I'm performing my Timing Belt Service. It's a 1998 LX470 which will have 220,000 miles at the time of the service. Service records indicate it was last performed at 130,xxx milers. I'm changing the Timing Belt, Timing Belt Tensioner, Tensioner Pulley, Water Pump, Serpentine...

I've never been super happy with the original timing belt videos we did. We had a 4.7 out of a truck this week so I took the opportunity to update the videos while there was an unobstructed view. Just finished part one and should have part two done in the next few days.

New to the forum here, just bought a 99 LX470 with 193K. Wife got t-boned in her Sienna with the kids and thankfully no one got hurt but the car was a total loss. She wanted an SUV and we looked at a lot of things, even looked at new LX570's (100K was a bit out of our immediate budget!) and...
