Hi, all. Sorry English is not my native tongue. Please forgive me if I don't say it clearly.
Long story short, my LX 570 had the heat valley leak problem, and It has been parking in my garage for about 2 months. Today I fixed the leak, but after I started the car, and turned the heater on to...
So for the last 15 years of working on 1fz's I've yet to come across one that needed a water pump. The only time I've replaced one was when the customer requested it or there was so much rust and crap in the oil cooler I just did it just to make sure it wouldn't fail but that is maybe 2 or 3...
I’ve tried and many of the simple solutions I’ve seen online and none has worked. Any suggestions? See pictures, is it unfixable?
Would putting a hot iron right on top of the granite countertop to dry the water out be ok to do or woukd it damage the granite? A renter seemed to make a light...
Just finished the timing belt on my newly purchased 07 470. Everything went fine and I’ve driven for about 150 miles but I don’t drive very long trips, 10-15 minutes each trip never in traffic. First long drive I took it out, and while sitting in bumper-to-bumper traffic I noticed my AC quit...
All-
97 HZJ80, 1FZ. No CEL, but water temp and oil pressure guages are dead. I've read the tech threads on them both, but again, no CEL. Should I bother? Is the water temp being dead keeping me in open loop and just going to dump fuel?
Fluid service this morning, plenty of oil. Radiator is...
I purchased a partially restored FJ62. Truck had been painted but the weather stripping was not replaced.
After a rain, it looks as a lot of water is coming in from the windshield area especially when the brakes are applied.
I'm thinking this is a weatherstripping issue, but wanted to check...
The heat of Summer here in Oklahoma with temperatures in the upper 90s.
Today was 97 and about 35% humidity but the past couple weeks I've been running my air conditioning on high and I've noticed I'm getting water dripping out from underneath the dash. I still have water coming out underneath...
One of my preventative maintenance items is the thermostat, and while I've got coolant drained, figured I'd replace the three o-rings in the water bypass pipe (16351-66010 Outlet Water By-Pass Pipe).
The pipe is snug in the housing and I don't want to mar it by prying it with Knipex pliers or...
Hi everyone,
I ran some trails with standing water (roughly 1-5ft deep) this weekend for the first time. Although my LX was fine, I knew I didn't have diff breathers or anything else beyond a snorkel, so I was on edge the whole time and picked the shallowest paths, which were about 1-2ft deep...
I have a recently damaged water temp sensor on my 1990 24 volt 1pz. Confirmed today that this is the two wire unit running to connections 7 and 10 of the glow timer module as per the workshop manual.
As soon as the wire severed I have no water temp reading on the dash cluster, just a constant...
Went through some crazy puddles today about 2 feet deep. Some I went fast to where water went over my hood but the rest I went slow. Should I be concerned about anything? The diff breather on the rear is loose on top not sure if that’s normal. Or if I should do a diff fluid change or tran fluid...
Selling my LX470. I just purchased this recently to build into my camping vehicle but a change in priorities has me focusing on other projects. So this has to go, along with my 80 series so I can finish other projects. It's been a good truck to me so far, I just drove it to LA and back without...
I don't know if yall get this too but when I go through dirty water offroading or on a back road I start to get these noises from hell. Absolute ear r@$ers. Sounds like really really past due brakes. No clue what it is, doesn't go away if I clean brakes with clean water or brake Klen. May be a...
Hey everyone, my ‘91 fj80 acts weird after going through water. I’m not sure on the exact depth of the water, but I think it’s around the bottom or middle of the bumper.
After the water my car drives like normal, but when I try to accelerate decently hard the car sputters. It feels as though...

Hi there,
I have been trying to track down the reason for the carpet on the driver side of my LX450 been always wet after raining or washing it and after a long and thorough research, it looks like the door weatherstrip is the culprit. I only see water droplets inside, half way down the lateral...
While on the Rubicon we experienced a slight hiccup... Yep, you guessed it, we ran low on water. Since our return we've been looking for a convenient/versatile solution and we believe found it. So to introduce it we've decided to launch a group buy. This is a package deal and it comes with the...
Hey everyone.
I have had an interesting thing happen on my 01 LX470. A couple of weeks ago during a long road trip in heavy rain I noticed that my Tach was flopping all around. An hour or so later the dash lights go out on it. By this point the rain had stopped. I keep driving because i'm still...
