What were the steps to get the XCode to run the ATF temp? I have a 98 LX and a scangauge II
If you have the users manual.....you will find the instructions to access and navigate through the Xcode set up there. It should be on pg. 40 I believe (don't have my manual in front of me). If you do not have a manual, you can download it on-line (PDF).
» User Manuals
Once you are in the Xcode 'mode' you simply use the various buttons to move the cursor to the next spot and to advance the alpha-numeric symbols. The Scanguage unit will automatically take you through the sequence.
It's a little long to describe here. Not complicated....just better to read from the instructions as you perform the process. Once you've entered the 'codes' just 'save' it. Then go back to your home screen and it will be available as one of the parameters you can select under the 'gauge' settings.
The codes you need to enter are as follows:
TXD: 686AF101B4
RXF: 044105B40000
RXD: 2808
MTH: 00090005FFD8
If you have any trouble with it....just let us know and we can help you get through any stumbling blocks.

FWIW If I recall, the 98-02 run a different Xcode than the 03-07 for TFT.
This is what I'm running in my 05 A750F
Scan Gauge X-Code for TFT

For a 100 series, 170-ish seems high unless you've been towing or pulling a load climbing a mountain pass. Not sure if the A343 runs hotter than the A750F Makes me wonder which sensor you're pulling data from ( there are two). I seldom get readings much above 135f which seems low except when I was towing out west last summer in 100 degree ambient temps which the trans was running in the high 170's on long climbs.
If the trans code does not work you may need to have your firmware updated.
Reoved all my faded cracked and dried out woodgrwood today. Sporting the very utilitarian look right now. I'll be installing a black cherry in it's place but I'm going to wait for a nice warm day to make it a little easier. Looks 100% better for now though.
Used a plastic trim removal kit from Harbor Freight, which made relatively quick work of the project. I think I did it all in under 2 hours front and back.

just did heater tees and hoses, as well as thermostat
Pulled out rear carpet and interior to prep for sound proofing. Removed sub woofer unit for repair or replacement.
Replaced the rear control arms - OEM uppers and SPC lowers:
I picked up a 2003 LC a few weekends ago and am super excited.
The rear hatch did not unlock except from the inside and was super frustrating
. I fixed it today, so it now unlocks with the key fob every time, by replacing the the control assembly (69790-60070). Only after ordering the part did I find out about just replacing motors.
I was really surprised to find that the lock cylinder in the lower gate isn’t attached to anything. No wonder it didn’t work. Anyone know if it was optional to have rear key access that unlocks all doors? The owners manual reads as if it was a standard feature.

@crimsonaudio .... curious to know if you notice a difference with these. I'm replacing my front UCAs and the LCA balljoints later this week along with the suspension. Considering doing the rear control arms soon.
Installed @LandCruiserPhil mud-flap delete plates. I had partially tore through the driver side flap a while back.
What have I done on my Cruiser this week? I'm making a list of tasks to bring this new-to-me rig up to snuff. Here are some things that I've learned.
(1) I hired a well regarded LC mechanic to take a look at the truck for me before I agreed to buy the rig. It's a stock 2004. The mechanic said it's overdue for a new timing belt (last done at 90k, now the rig is at 214k). Also said the transfer case needs maintenance. And the left front axle is leaking a bit. There were a couple other small things, but the mechanic said the rig is in great shape.
(2) The mechanic missed a couple things. First, the CD player/changer does not work. The cassette doesn't eject from its slot in the center console. Second, the windshield wiper fluid system doesn't work. You can hear a pump working when you hit the trigger, and the wipers do their thing, but zero fluid comes out of the nozzles. What else did he miss? Time will tell.
(3) I learned that the stock navigation system and stereo do not meet my standards. My family enjoys listening to music, and there's no way for us to play our music through the LC's stereo. There's no AUX connection, no BT connection, and no way to play CDs (see above). The stereo's sound seems decent, though I did here some buzzing yesterday afternoon while listening to NPR in the driveway while grilling. This all means that there's a stereo upgrade (with speakers, maybe) in my future.
What have I actually done this week? Yesterday, I started trying to fix the windshield wiper fluid system problem. When I poured fluid into the resevoir, I felt my toes get wet as the fluid seemed to flow straight out of the resevoir onto the ground. A look under the bumper revealed a hole in a hose that must run from the fluid resevoir.
Today, I took a closer look at the system. I verified that I could find the hose with the hole. Then I worked backward from the nozzles on the hood, following the hoses back toward the resevoir. To my surprise, about 6" back from the firewall, the fluid hose was neatly cut. I found its other end and tested the windshield wiper fluid pump - a splash of wiper fluid on the firewall told me that the pump works fine, and I probably only need to fix the hoses. So a trip to AutoZone later, I have replacement hoses. (Are they called vaccuum hoses?) I cannot find the small nylon splices to use to put the hoses together, though. So the repair will have to wait until I can find a couple of those.
Other things on my 'task' list are:

Other things on my 'task' list are:
- address some upholstery problems (holes and small rips) to stop them from becoming a bigger problem,
- looking for salvage yards that might have compatible rigs with some plastic parts I need to replace (e.g., lid to fusebox under the hood, cover for compartment on passenger side of the 3rd row seating, tie-down 'wingnut' piece that covers a screw in the cargo area)
- working up the courage (and saving the money) for stereo upgrade
- adding a simple aux battery to the rig; running some outlets for USB chargers
- converting some interior lights to LEDs
Anybody care to guess what I did to my 100 this week? To make it interesting, the first to guess correctly wins an original "Rick Russell's Off Highway Adventure Series" VHS Cassette from my collection. Here is your first picture clue of three.
I'm sure it depends on how worn yours are - mine were obviously worn a bit but I was surprised at how good the bushings still looked when I got them off. The truck seems to accelerate a little smoother (no vibration in the steering wheel) and strangely feels like the back end is a bit 'tighter', but it's not an overwhelming difference.
Good guess, but no...we don't need no stinking D light.
Speedo test with larger than stock tires.
They're just Gulf States dealer installed flares. I think Bushwacker makes them.
Surely you jest! Come on guys, we've got a big prize on the line here. Rick Russell...THE legend on its original format VHS, the only way to watch full color motion picture of one of the best off road locations in the continental USA.
