    Headlight bulb replacement

    I realize this is an old post. But, I finally had to change a Headlight bulb in my 2003 1st Gen.. The info was a HUGE help. I still had to remove the dash plastics. The spring and boot where strictly by feel. It took 60 minutes

    Pressure testing '03 FJR's cooling system?

    I have the 3 orings for the coolant pipe on order from 'Glenn'@ FJR Goodies.com I figured as long as the machine is torn down enough to inspect the orings on the coolant pipe, may as well replace them.
