I am in the market for a new (to me) LC200 and in a dealer photo... I saw the following picture and have no idea what that power button is for, or even where it is located... It is a 2018 LC, vin: JTMCY7AJ5J4073381 I do not even know if it is factory. A google search for LC200 power button...

We have a section of timber, far northwest, these two orphans were here and part of the deal, rose bush and packrat nest included. No huge attachment, not yet sure what I'll do with them, just wanted folks to know they are still out there. The little black one is a '78, also 4 on the floor, and...

I can’t find instructions and I have one mystery board I can’t figure out. Maybe someone here knows where it goes

I have begun to see JDM 100 series showing up in North America and it got me to dreaming about 105s. Yet to see one that wasn't custom built anywhere on this continent. Were 105s ever sold for the Japanese Domestic Market or only AUS and elsewhere? There are quite a few established importers...

Hi folks! New to the community and have very minimal mechanical experience. I purchased a 99 LX470 with completely rusted out fender bottoms and soft rockers. It’s currently at a welding shop have patches welded in to repair this hole. My question is, does the fab guy have to include sunroof...

Hello All. I had the above lights come on in my 2001 LX470. I jumpered terminal TC & E1 in the engine compartment diagnostic connector (ABS, VSC Trac, VSC Off, and Brake lights on - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/abs-vsc-trac-vsc-off-and-brake-lights-on.276518/ and ) and didn't receive any...

Don't know if these are really direct competitors (since the LC200 isn't on sale anymore), but I rented a '23 Denali so thought I would share my thoughts: - when approached, the 'push the small button on the handle' way to lock/unlock the Denali feels cheap compared to the 'grab handle and it...

The more research I do, the more it sounds like the Lx570 might be capable enough for my needs without me having to have the CDL repaired now...at least Help me understand though. The Torsen LSD is on the center diff or the rear diff? (2008 lx570). If on the center diff, does that mean it...

Dont Miss Homosassa Springs Just got this 271k miles , the previous owner was 86 years old. He was not remembering a lot but his wife said they bought it new in Danbury Conn. They retitled it here in Florida in 94. He said he got rid of it because of sunroof,was wanting make a...

After our recent 2655mi trip it might be time to consider getting some Scheelman seats. Who’s the go to with 70 series experience? Thanks

I am at a crossroads with my 40, and looking for some insight and more information on both paths with my 40. 02 gmc 5.3 or sniper efi f1.5. Both are equally viable options, things to know about my 40 I believe it to be a factory fst, it has all the hallmarks. The body has around 170k+ miles. I...

Hello folks. Looking for guidance here. I couldn't find anything remotely close to this issue. So it's well known that Bora spacers are at "top of the food chain" for 100/LX470. My 2000 LX470 drivers side spacer studs SNAPPED right off as I was pulling into my driveway, thank GOD!!!. Talked to...

Hey guys need a new crank for my 1hdt and been looking around and a factory crank is 3k and 3 month wait but there is some cheaper aftermarket ones around for about 1k to 1.5k and here by the end of the month. Has any one have any experience with the cheaper options or just not worth the risk?

Was working on my seat belts yesterday and accidentally bumped my dome light, and the lens literally crumbled. Too long baking in the Texas heat; can't wait to get my house finished so I can park it in a garage once again. Anyway, my research here leads me to believe that the lens / cover is...

Moving comms over to new 200. Had Ham mounted to the plastic cover under passenger side dash. My 2013 does not have this wire and device. Looks like a microphone or HVAC sensor. New 200 is 2015.

It looks like most people are using various GM 6.5L engines and an NV4500 transfer case. Is this just a cost issue? An R2.8L is a $10K crate motor so not cheap but, it looks like it may be a good match at 161HP and various torque numbers depending on final install specifics. Best Regards, Sid

So it finally happened after 26 years and 130K miles my T100 3.4v6 finally through me a check engine light. I hooked up a OBD2 scanner and pulled the following codes. P0450 and candidate P0441. The P0450 is sensor for emissions. It measures vacuum or pressure on vacuum line. Toyota no longer...

Long time member. 40 forum junkie. Jumping over for some tech/mod/upgrade info. Purchased the Tundra in 2019. Currently 55K on the ODO. I figured it was about time to start showing it some “love”. Had to replace the front calipers and rear rotors (pads all around) @ 50k. 🙄 I’ve owned YOTA...

Hi All Recently welcomed the below 2006 VX into the family. Only owned for about 5 months so still learning her but noteworthy mods include 3" lift (with diff drop) which i have since corrected as torsion bars were wound right up, suspected high flow cats and exhaust. Baselined all fluids and...

An affordable AHC globe: Stumbled upon it looking for other stuff. I have an 05 LC so no need for it, not sure if it's been posted before, but here it is..
