    2011 LC - replacing the back up camera with a unit displays "lines"

    Has anyone successfully replaced the back up camera on a 2001 LC? This camera is useless for navigating into a parking slot without the indicator lines. I'm wondering if you can splice into the existing wires to power a replacement camera with the indicator lines? Any thoughts?? Thanks Shad O Matic

    Warming up to a LX 570 ...few questons

    Hey Folks, After having owned my '99 X 470 since 2003, I have finally decided to look for a low mileage 570. Besides my own research, can you all help me point in the right direction as to what model is the best to have? Currently I am looking at 2013/14 and would prefer LX over LC. Won't mind...

    Welding up greasable shackle pins?

    Would it compromise the strength of a greasable shackle pin (new) if I were to (gently) weld closed the holes for the zerk and in the pin? If I cannot find suitable plugs that I can use to replace the zerks when I am wheeling (I keep knocking them off on the rocks) I would like to find another...

    Back up camera monitor in visor- who makes this?

    Hello all- Wondering if anyone knows who makes this, where I can get it or has anyone done this before? I searched the forum and all I could find this costco install- but I'm looking for one that would replace the mirror. Also I'm trying to install it on a 100 LC rather than LX...

    Before I fire up the engine for the first time in 13 years.

    Okay so I changed the oil and filter, new fuel filter, new pcv valve, flushed fuel lines, cleaned fuel tank, carb rebuild(mark), new plugs and wires, dropped MMO down the cylinders and rotated the engine manually. 85' FJ60 parked 13 years ago in a garage 6-12 months after a rebuild. A friend...

    RUF "rears up front" I DID IT, and it's amazing

    Finally busted a leaf in my front spring pack. I have Chebbie 63s out back with 14" travel shocks hung into my cargo area. So I took my spare tears and stuckem in the front. Running 37s SUA with 2.5" backspace and 1" body lift. The pin is offset and I wanted the long side fixed aft to the...

    Picked up a 62 this weekend...

    Got myself an 89 FJ62 this weekend. I believe I'm the 3rd owner (carfax is a bit sketchy before 96). A little research shows the truck was bought new in Washington state, came down to Nevada in 96'ish, went to Arizona in 05, and I picked it up in Tucson on Sunday with 149,812mi. The truck has...

    200 pick up cuts and 6x6 versions

    Had afew pretty wild and unique 200 builds going on lately so thought it would be good to have a thread with some details on some of these built for work or overland touring into the 200 section. This first one runs a 6x6 set up with 13 500lb gross vehicle mass, 35s, 18 x 9 Method wheels, and...

    Intro - Help me toughen up this teal mall cruiser

    Hi - Been lurking here for a couple years and finally pulled the trigger in November buying this eucalyptus mica LX with 87k and fresh dealer installed timing belt and WP. Not my first choice of color, but its growing on me and the color varies a lot depending on lighting. Its only teal in the...

    Yay...picked up a 100...questions

    I picked up a 2000 with 220k today. Drives great and lots of power. Makes me remember why I loved my Sequoia. I have a few questions. First, when I engage 4wd lo, no light comes on to let me know it is in LO...but the 4wd engages and works. Bad bulb? I think the 'D' light goes out when I...

    Moving up

    Sold my UJZ100 to buy a 2012 GX, a truck which seemed both rugged and very luxurious. Both the hundy and the GX were regular Baja traverlers. Had the GX for 2 years of pleasure, not a single hiccup and only regular oil changes and tires. Just traded the GX on a 2013 LX. I can't get over how...

    New wheel,tire, and suspension set up

    After reading non stop for the last three weeks, I bit the bullet yesterday and ordered the lift(OME and SPC UCA's), TRD Pro Wheels(purchased some aftermarket wheels for a buddy that owns a Pro and he gave me his Pro wheels), and 285/70/18 KO2's. My question is for the O'wise ones. Do I have...

    Pick up bed liners...spray on, or plastic insert?

    I bought a Tundra and I want a bed liner. I like the look of a spray on liner, but how durable are they? The bed of this truck will definitely see some abuse. I'm not really a fan of the plastic inserts, but they seem like they would handle a beating much better. Any real world experience here...

    Has anyone come up with a clever way to store a camp table under a roof rack?

    I'm getting pretty sick of our little folding REI table. It's functional and whatnot but it doesn't give much working space when cooking and it takes a bit to setup and breakdown. I'm not sure I would want to store a bigger table inside the vehicle though. What I'd love to do is have a...

    Spring Rates - list em up

    I thought it might be a good idea to have a place where everyone could list the spring rates of various suspension kits you're all running for those of us in the market. If we could list the stock values as well that would be great. I see them listed in random threads...or maybe this already...

    Recoveries- successes and failures- post'em up

    I thought it might be interesting to start a journal or catalog of sorts of people's recovery experiences to help us all create and compare guidelines in terms of our tools and techniques. I think the important thing is to list here are: 1. Exactly what the stuck entailed. In that case I...

    Just had to put up a few more pics

    What tools, 300 mile trip to pick up my first LC?

    I'm taking a small road trip to possibly pick up not only my first LC, but first Toyota. Return trip will be about 300 miles of all interstate/highway. LC is a 2000, higher mileage, but recent belts, water pump, and good tires. I did a search of the 100 section only, but I couldn't find a...
