EASY FIX! Toyota Land Cruiser corner lamp replacement. works for the LX470 too!
hell youtube!
aka_chowcares
when i installed the front bumper on my land cruiser, i broke the corner lense/ blinker light. well, i got the lense to separate a bit more, and then it flew off on the freeway. Anyhow, these guys have always been kinda tricky to remove, so here a video of me doing just that, hope it helps!

Can some one paste the link that fit ?
THANK YOU for this tutorial video! I have an 02 LX that just broke 100k. The drive light went out just like this. Is your link to the replacement bulbs still good? Are the Landcruiser bulbs the ones I need? Thanks for your help!
Would love to own a Land Cruiser as a daily driver, however, if for no other reason than the age, it would have to be a 200 series...........and they are out of my budget. Yeah, a 15 or 20 year old vehicle (especially if you aren't the original owner), is more often than not, going to be more trouble than it's worth.
شكرا على الشرح
Is it possible with Land Cruiser 100 with Nav screen?
is there a led replacement, i wouldnt mind changing out all my cluster lights i also have a feeling my sub tank light isnt working at all ... ive never seen it work
❤
Great video. Thank you !!!! One question, why not putting the check valve directly in the water port instead of the regulator ?
Thanks for the video, the threaded rod was a life saver. I used the SuperPro bushings on my 2000 Land Cruiser, like @etb4272 mentioned they are pre-chamfered. For anyone searching for torque specs, it seems to be 74 ft*lbs for all bolts on this "old style" rack.
There's cable holders built into the back of the fridge to address your pinching wire. The lids also pop right off. Seems like something you should know if you're making a review. Lots of user error in this video
czcams.com/video/_1zqBTkMUEo/video.htmlsi=wf8h8zz2I13Fzif2 Well, 4 years later and there are no more replacement fuse boxes. I found an easy and cheap fix. Wouldn't have had the confidence to do it without you chow! Thank you! I hope it's OK that I linked to my video.
Awsome vid
So my 80 is ok?
Brilliant video man! Thanks a million!
Not sure how this guy did this, I have a 2000 Land Cruiser with larger tires and torsion bars turned to the max, at 278k miles the rear springs had a sag to them and needed to be replaced. Went with OME 2865 to have a slightly positive foward rake but most importantly fix the sag while riding or loading rear and for a trip…Followed this video to a T, springs would NOT even remotely come out…. Spring compressors are not needed and are dangerous. The MOST SIMPLE method is undo the lower bolts for the sway bar end links, I also undid the bolts that hold the diff vent tube and brake caliper brackets to frame, then jack the car up with jack stands by lifting entire rear end by the pumpkin. Once wheels are off and jack stands under car (towards rear of frame) then let the jack from the pumpkin down. That will take all of 10 mins. Now for another 10 mins of work before being finished…. Take the jack, move it to left side of axle, support axle. Then undo the top nut from the shock, once off, slowly let the jack down while still supporting… the spring will pull right out…put new one in, raise jack to tighten the shock nut back, Then repeat right side. Done! Waaaay less work than dangerous spring compressors, and the method shown here does not work.
i always thought the “D” light wouldn’t be on so it wouldn’t really distract you
Great video, install time for me was surprisingly long, 5-6 hrs, lot of double checking. Some personal confusion on order of final steps, when to put top on, which side work on first, bit of uninstall to get the stops in.
I get 20l/100km, and it does cost a lot more than commuting in some tiny car - but a hell of a lot safer. I could upgrade and pay something like USD40,000 for an equivalent product - it will take me the rest of my life to burn that money in fuel (the new one, presumably, will burn some as well). The problem at present is that the new models are nowhere near as reliable, and there is no alternative except the Patrol, which has an even bigger V8 in the current model. I did wear out a few items after 300,000km - never any trouble getting parts.
Potential new video idea: Sunroof service / maintenance?
These are retaded reasons. Land cruisers are incredible machines.
Why do all the bolts and nuts just come off your rig, and all the grease nipples just not block up? Do you live in an urban area?
You spent a lot of time saying about 3 minutes worth of information. The kind of facts that are common sense to most people who like cars.
problem solved! thanks!!
I have an ARB Classic II 50, and just bought a Transit Bag. Can use some refinements to fit cleaner but it is an excellent fit. My only gripe is there is no clearance for the drain hole when you want to clean the fridge. Snip…snip…snip…BOOM!!! Good to go. 😂
NO!NO!NO!NO!NO! Never not worry about overheating your motor. GO somewhere else to get this explain properly.
Chow really does care. This guy is the real MVP.
0:15 😜 🙏👍
It sounds to me that it's time to hang your LC100 keys up and get yourself a nice Toyota Yaris :-) There not your free from the roughly tufty car.
Great video. Thank you. Been chasing this too long!!
Thanks for the tutorial! Helpful as always! 4 years later, how're the brakes holding up? still recommend the centric posi-quiet?
Dr. Chow, my outer boot has ripped exactly like yours im this video. How long do you think i can drive with it? Waiting for the part but need to drive. Thanks!
Much mahalos!!! 🤙
My 60 series land cruiser is 42 years old, still driving it. Once towed a 6 ton boat 86 miles with it. You think a 100 series lacks power?
10:03 that RX-7 though…
I'm replacing my alternator today for the 2nd time. I don't recall having to remove my power steering. Pretty sure you rotate its pulley and slide your socket extension through the conveniently placed holes on the pulley. If I remember I'll report back.
Well you wouldn’t believe the scam that they pulled on me !
Great video. If only I watched this earlier. It would have saved me heaps of time and the anguish.
This is 100% spot on. I bought a 100 series with 175k miles and already needed to fix the cooling hose and brake master. I think I will go ahead and update the fuse box and maybe starter
Very clear, precise and straight to the point. Thank you. I can now go ahead and work on my Land cruiser now.
There’s a second drain plug
This video really helped me replace my expansion tank on my 330ci. Thank you
Wait dumb question but what’s the difference between this transmission fluid and the ATF dexron type III on the left side of the hood?
Personally I like the GX 470. I just wished we had the Prado
Thank you for the great videos
Good stuff- going to copy your setup
I needed to replace the OD switch as mine went bad and this video also showed how to do that haha, thanks!
Alex…yours was the only video that told me not to be afraid to forcefully snap out the rear wiper blade arm, which worked perfectly. Thanks!
Schrader valves on a typical car tire only flow 2.6 cfm. So it doesn’t matter how much air you have or how big your line is, the valve is the restriction. That’s why you must use a multi-tap hose and fill up multiple tires simultaneously to see any benefit from a high flow rate compressor or tank.
Thanks. Your vid helped me get a start on removing mine.
This was a very helpful video, especially for adding the part #s. Thank you for posting it.
