Ran across this on the Toyota Nation forum. Interesting idea but 🤷‍♂️. https://www.keylessdefender.org/

I don't know how to describe an appropriate thread title... I have a cabinet/workbench I assembled from a kit. The cabinet was where spa chemicals were stored. Essentially just chlorine and test reagents. Over time the chlorine had corroded the cabinet hardware (hinges). The spa is long...

I donated the Safari to the Giants Community Fund. This is the 3rd vehicle I've donated to them - an '82 Bonneville and an '87 Camry preceded this one. The tow company picked up the Safari on Tuesday. It showed up on the auto auction site inventory today...

I never heard of this site before. Came across Charm from a thread on BAT Auto Technical: https://batauto.com/threads/2004-porsche-boxster-low-oil-pressure-idiot-light-on.16298/ Operation: Charm is a website that hosts free access to repair manuals, labor and parts info, etc. Might be useful...

Bakatare.

Weird incident last Tuesday (although nothing surprises me these days). Had parked the Toyota across the street on Monday evening because I was expecting a medial supply shipment Tuesday morning and the delivery guy needed an unobstructed path to the front door. My wife and I were going to run...

I'm looking for a 5-point (penta), square drive socket, one that measures 23mm (the mating bolt head has JIS identification). The only 5-point sockets I can find so far are "common" industrial 51/64" and 13/16". Anyone know of a source for different sized 5-point sockets or is this bolt head...

I usually never go down the water/soda/energy drink aisle. I did a few days ago. Noticed Henry Weinhard's root beer. Haven't had this since the 1970's. I bought a six pack and stuffed the bottles in the refer. Opened one up yesterday. Twist off cap - it practically fell off with no "ffftt"...

Had been looking for a Ruby Flame Pearl Higlander for a few months. I think this color is scarce; I don't think many people wanted to pay extra for paint. 🤷‍♂️ Most everything was black or gray with black or gray interior. Not into the monochromatic look. Found two within 1/2 mile of each...

Since forever, the Alt+4 shortcut pull down menu default had been "Shut Down". A few days ago, the menu has somehow defaulted to "Switch User". How did this happen and how do I set the default back to "Shut Down"? TIA

Last night Win11 would not connect to the internet. I'm connected to the network via wifi (Xfinity). All my other devices (TV, phones) that are connected via wifi are having no issues. Couldn't run MS troubleshooters because no internet connection. This morning, out of the blue I'm obviously...

Given that OEM may be no longer available, there are a lot of aftermarket oil pan brands out there - Spectra, Ultra-Power, Dorman, etc. I think most are about the same in serviceability. But are there any to avoid? Granted, the make of engine may play a role in the rule.

I'm looking for a source for a 4 AWG flag terminal. I can find them for cable termination, but I'm really looking for is this: I'll probably end up with stacking two ring terminal lugs on top of each other but if a flag terminal is available I'd like to go that route. The thought of making a...

The "on-hand" parts (and other stuff) situation in the garage is getting out of control - stuff is scattered everywhere. Part of the problem of forgetting that I have "it" someplace but can't remember where "it" is. Since I have a virtual unlimited supply of HD boxes (close to 15/month) that my...

More useless drivel; just an observation that's irrelevant since the 150-2016 is NLA. I was collecting the old oil filters out of my filter drain can and noticed the gasket of the 150-2016 Denso filter that was removed from the Lexus. I thought all Denso filters came with a "P" x-section...

When I first got the Lexus back in '08, I was replacing the fog lamp bulbs. Not knowing (at the time) how to remove the lamp assemblies, I removed the under cover/liners to get to the bulb sockets. Then I pulled the corner cover, this fell out: I thought no problem, look for the one on the...

Errands took me out to Stockton this afternoon. I noticed more than a few tractors without trailers on I-5. Most had a cooler mounted on the rear-center of the (non-sleeper?) cab. What is this thing cooling? A/C, engine oil, trans oil, differential?

The resident electronics expert at the Lexus forum I frequent uses an oscilloscope frequently to diagnose sensor (cam, crank, etc.) failures and as a diagnostic tool. Because of the countless ECU's that control these cars I was thinking it might be a good idea to have one. He posted this link...

Regarding a couple of inverted flare fuel lines on both the Legend and the LS: Fuel filter inlet hard line fitting. Hard line to fuel rail fitting. Both of these threaded connections feel as though they're cross threading when re-connecting them. The effort to start and tighten until seated is...

I have to replace the fuel gauge in the LS and I want to address the sticking speedometer and tachometer needles while the panel is out of the car. The needles will stick at zero during the hot summer months. This is a chronic problem with the LS (and maybe other Toyotas) when they age. Whacking...
