steering clunk: upper U-Joint?
ball joints, tie rods, control arms, lower steering shaft are all new. Slowly moving up the steering column, next stop is inside the cab... And it does sound like it's coming from inside, not outside. -

steering clunk: upper U-Joint?
I'm chasing a clunk in the steering, it happens when going over washboard while the car is going straight - if I am steering it doesn't tend to happen, indicating something has play. The tie rods are new, the lower steering shaft is new, control arms are new. Is the upper U-Joint at the... -

Looking for a good trailer brake controller for my 2012 LR4
You can do a 'stealth' install of the redarc, it fits in the cutout behind the 'shin plate' under the steering, you can then snake the wire for the remote button anywhere you like. -

C1A13-64 fault code fix
One thing I found after doing this was a small leak at the outlet of the dryer, where it connects to the hose. I replaced the hoses, but still it bubbled. I suspect the push-to-disconnect fittings have an o-ring at the bottom that dried out over the 12 years it sat there. You can get new caps... -

Lug nut quality?
Note that the cosmetic cap can deform enough that you can't get a 22mm socket on it anymore, and can spin with a larger socket. I'd recommend getting some solid lug nuts, Gorilla make some, I got Eisen brand ones from Amazon and have been happy with them. Being able to get a lug off while in... -

ARB dual compressor mounting?
A lot easier to run air hose to the rear than wire to feed the power needed for these. The fuse on mine is rated 40A. -

So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, goodbye
Sad to see you go Ryan, thank you for your help over the years, you leave behind a trove of useful content. I hope you'll pop in and show off your Toyota every once in a while, and give objective opinions on what you miss about the LR4 that you wish the Land Cruiser did. :D -

Loosen and retorque suspension bolts when lifting?
not that corner, but at least you'd be able to inflate the other 3. Not idea, but better than being on bumpstops? -

Loosen and retorque suspension bolts when lifting?
basically a quick disconnect in the air lines somewhere more accessible than the top of the springs, where you can connect a pigtail with a shraeder valve and then inflate with your tire compressor. You'll be limited by the pressure of your compressor, but you'd be able to get it off the bumpstops. -

Loosen and retorque suspension bolts when lifting?
Probably worth creating manual spring inflators so you can limp out should the system crap out on you. It's been on my list of things to do to be better prepared (though I'm not running large tires so should be able to drive on bumpstops - just don't really fancy dragging the thing over... -

Loosen and retorque suspension bolts when lifting?
Running too big a tire can leave you stuck if your air suspension drops you to the bumpstops, regardless of whether you used lift rods or recalibrated the suspension to ride higher. -

Loosen and retorque suspension bolts when lifting?
Generally you'd get an alignment after the lift, and that would take care of it. -

5 codes no crank no start 2011 LR4
Can you have someone check the battery voltage while you try to crank it over? The other codes might be from things getting wonky due to low voltage. Wheel speed sensor is totally unrelated to the timing chain. I'd guess your battery is a dud, or your battery connections are loose or corroded. -

Towing - I Have Not Done My Homework...
Yep, I got a 2 1/4" drop stinger and ball from U-Haul and flipped the ball around so it's a lift, works great. -

Perfect platform mattress
I have the Exped Megamat Duo (10cm/4in thick), same dimensions, and it fits super well in the back, basically like it was made to fit between the wheel wells. -

Towing - I Have Not Done My Homework...
The wiring harness is straight forward to install. The official instructions are to remove the rear bumper skin, but I didn't and it seems fine. It is plug-and-play, no splicing/soldering required. A couple of screws attach the receptacle to the rear of the frame (there's the hole there... -

damaged diaphragm in right-side airbox
Hi folks, I changed filters (cabin and engine air) and noticed that the diaphragm at the bottom of the right side (passenger in US) air box (presumably to allow water to drain out?) is damaged (like it got very hot and shriveled). The driver's side looks fine. I haven't found any posts related... -

LR4 V8 smog help - catalytic monitor won't get to ready state
Oh, interesting, my FSM just says to disconnect the battery, but I didn't - I wasn't messing with anything electrical. I just removed the access cover in the driver's wheel well, used a long extension on the socket wrench to reach the upper clamp bolt (from above), but didn't need to remove any...
