Builds The Mall Crusher (1 Viewer)

[NHouston]

Added a 2010 Landcruiser to our family. I call it the Mall Crusher since it will be my wife’s daily driver and kid transporter for a few years. At that time I will buy her a newer cruiser, take this one over for myself, and keep my 99 100 series as my weekend truck.

Original owner Central Texas truck, rust free, non-smoker, accident free, and service records for entire life of the vehicle (serviced every 5k). It has never been off-road and drives excellent. It has 172k, so I plan to do some PM first to get it ready for the next 100k and then start a few upgrades.

Previous owner installed 265/60/18 Toyota Open Country HT's. Wanted to improve gas mileage since it was primarily a highway vehicle. Going to replace tires in next 10k. Going to go with 275/65/18 Falken Wildpeak AT3W’s.

Started the first PM today on our 200 series.

Mobil 1 0w-20w oil change

TRD Pro Oil Filter

Upgraded Toyota Plastic Oil Filter Housing to Toyota Aluminum Oil Filter Housing

Not in picture, but BG 44k Fuel Treatment

BG EPR and MOA treatment with the oil change

Tried the Fumoto F103N drain plug, but didn’t like it. It did not thread on as easy as my OEM drain plug, so I used drain plug and added new Toyota washer.

Next item: change Front/Rear Diff Fluids and T-case Fluid with Mobil 1 75-90w Synthetic

Congrats nice having the service records you don’t have to waste your PM dollars on things that aren’t needed

Got a new set of tires for my 2010. Went with a set of Falken Wildpeak 3ATW’s. Very impressed with how quiet they are for an AT tire with pretty aggressive treads. These tires are a significant savings over the Nitto Grapplers or KO2’s. Not as durable offroad, but this 200 is my wife’s daily driver for now. That is why I went with this tire.

I went with a 275/65/18. It is about 1/2 inch taller and a bit narrower (about 1/2 inch) than the stock tire 285/60/18.

 

[NHouston]

Completed some of my PM for my 2010 with 173k.

-New Aisin Water Pump
-New Aisin Fan Clutch
-New Denso Radiator
-New Gates Drive Belt, Tensioner, Idler
-New Gates Upper/Lower/By-Pass Hoses
-New Thermostat
-New PCV Valve
-Cleaned Throttle Body
-Greased Zerks with Valvoline Syn Moly
-New K&N Filter
-Charcoal cabin filter
-Flushed Coolant (Toyota Super Long Life)
-Upgraded Heater T’s

Getting it ready for the next 100k!

Still have some items to complete:
-Change Diffs and T-Case Fluids
-Brake Bleed
-AT Fluid Exchange
-PS Fluid Exchange
-I have a very slight vibration in front brakes
when I stop. Most likely will be to get rotors turned.
-Plan to replace shocks and struts at some point

Changing fluids this weekend! Cruiser is at 174k and going strong.

Mobil 1 75-90 Synthetic in Rear Diff, Front Diff, and T-Case

Toyota WS ATF Fluid Exchange

Lucus Dot 3 Synthetic Brake Fluid Flush

Doing PS Fluid Exchange with Mobil 1 DTE Light commercial grade hydro fluid

All new OEM gaskets

I plan on oil changes every 5k (M1 Syn) and all other fluids every 30k

Had a little bit of vibration when applying breaks. Had the runout checked on my rotors (previous owner had 4 OEM rotors installed at 135k). Passenger rear had a runout of 0.003, so that was the cause of the slight vibration when braking. Putting on (2) new Bosch rear rotors.

@NHouston - where are you going to do the AT fluid exchange? Driveway, local shop or do you have a preferred dealer around here?

Sent you a PM

Dealer wanted $100 to update navigation system. Found the DVD update on EBay for under $20 shipped (Version 17.1). The update was simple and straightforward (eject old disc and insert new disc). Works perfectly.

Can’t believe dealer charges this kind of money for something so easy.

can you post link of the one you bought?

Curious why you want to update the factory navigation at all? Navi on your phone works infinitely better IMO and gets updated all the time for free.

I checked eBay and I found them for $9.90 on up. If they offered CarPlay or Android Auto then the map updates woiuld not be as critical since you could have the nice 9" display with Waze, Google Maps, Apple Maps, etc. But I like the Navi integration, I just don't want to pay $400 to update it.

Inspected the KDSS Valves today and they were surprisingly very good (was concerned after learning about the many rust issues on the 200 forum).

Took some PBlaster and a wire brush to them today to take off some very light surface rust. Put on a good coat of grease as PM. Will start making this routine with oil changes.

Tackled a couple small electrical gremlins this weekend.

Had a warning message for front passenger parking assist sensor. Picked up a front sensor from Reuben at Norwalk Toyota online. Fairly simple fix. Hardest part removing just enough screws underneath the front bumper to get my hand in their to swap out sensor. Un-clip, unplug old sensor then re-clip, re-plug sensor.

Most annoying issue was getting a warning message intermittently while drive saying back hatch open. When this happened my interior lights would come on. I couldn’t lock my car because my alarm would go off. After some research, the back hatch switch is built into the back hatch assembly. Got the best deal from Norwalk Toyota online.

To replace you will need a 10 mm socket and some plastic trim removal tools.

First remove the black plastic trim around the rear hatch lock. Just pull and it pops off with your hands. Underneath you will see 3 bolt heads.

Then you will need to carefully pull the lower trim piece off shown in the picture below for rear hatch.

Then remove (3) bolts with 10mm socket.

Their is one plug you will need to disconnect to rear lock assembly and it then comes right out.

New part had a yellow emergency release string. Old one did not have this feature.

Sensor replacement. Removal of a few screws underneath front bumper, pull back trim, and reach up underneath to access sensor. Kind of hard doing it one handed, but it can be done. Helpful to have a headlamp to see sensor and clip.

Just received these today from Norwalk Toyota.

My 200 has 175k with original struts and shocks. Just noticed a slight seepage on one of the rear shocks, so I decided to replace both shocks and struts with OEM.

This will be my wife’s daily driver for another few years. I will make it my daily driver after that and make some mods to the suspension.
