2004 Toyota Land Cruiser Tire Information

Other than getting the proper tire size, there are a couple of other factors to consider when buying Toyota Land Cruiser tires like how and where you drive, and how much you want to spend. When thinking about your driving conditions, consider where you live (mountains vs. city vs. countryside) and the kind of weather can catch you off-guard. (Watch out Tornado Alley!) Many drivers who live in states that experience all four seasons choose to purchase two sets of tires: one for summer and one for winter. Other drivers prefer to purchase one all-season set to limit trips to the tire shop and make sure their vehicle is prepared in the rain, sleet, snow, or sun!

Your personal driving style is the next factor to consider. If you're a big off-roading fan who forges paths where others can't, you have very different needs than a long-distance commuter who sticks to the highway.

Your Questions About Toyota Land Cruiser Tire Repair, Answered

Top Toyota Land CruiserCar Battery Questions

  • Why is there white, flaky stuff around my Land Cruiser’s battery post?  The white, flaky stuff that can build up around your Land Cruiser’s battery terminals is known as corrosion. Acid leaking from your vehicle’s battery post can have a chemical reaction with the air, leading to an accumulation of the white, powdery substance over time.

If left unaddressed for long enough, it may even cause your battery to prematurely fail.

2004 Toyota Land Cruiser Oil Change Questions

  • Why is the oil light on in my Toyota Land Cruiser?  Your Toyota Land Cruiser oil change reminder light may come on if you're overdue for an oil change. The oil pressure light will typically come on if the oil level in the engine is too low, the oil pump is failing, you have a clogged oil filter, or there's a faulty oil pressure sensor.
  • How hard is it to change Toyota Land Cruiser oil at home?  First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also helps your car perform down the road.

2004 Toyota Land Cruiser Engine Tune-Up Q&A

  • When should Toyota Land Cruiser spark plugs be replaced?  Replace spark plugs on time or about every 30,000 miles or so. Spark plugs are small but mighty. The spark of electricity that the plug emits across a small gap creates the ignition for the combustion needed to start your car. Without that spark, your car won't start.
  • What does a puddle underneath my Toyota Land Cruiser mean? Don't ignore puddles of fluid under your Toyota Land Cruiser. It could signal a coolant leak, brake fluid leak, or an oil leak. Let any one of these leaks linger and it could cause engine damage.
  • How often do Toyota Land Cruiser fuel injectors need to be cleaned? Factors like fuel type and driving conditions can affect how frequently you need to clean your Land Cruiser fuel injectors.

2004 Land Cruiser Toyota Steering & Suspension Services

When you first bought your 2004 Toyota Land Cruiser, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Land Cruiser bounces, leans to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2004 Toyota Land Cruiser in for steering and suspension services. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work.

2004 Land Cruiser Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Why does my Toyota Land Cruiser bounce so much?  If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Land Cruiser goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • Why does my Land Cruiser front end dip forward when I brake?  The forward dip in the front end of your Land Cruiser when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Toyota's suspension?  Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.

Questions About 2004 Toyota Land Cruiser A/C Systems

  • Why do I get hot air from my Land Cruiser A/C? If your car’s air conditioning isn’t blowing cold air at all (or it tries, then turns warm), you could have a clogged expansion valve, a faulty compressor clutch, a leak, or a malfunctioning fuse in the system.
  • What can cause an A/C system leak? To put it simply, age and moisture are some of the main causes of leaks in your A/C. Over time, rubber gaskets and seals can wear out, which pushes much-needed refrigerant out of your Land Cruiser’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  • Why does my Land Cruiser’s A/C only work when the car is moving?  If your A/C only works when the vehicle is moving, there could be a problem with part of your Land Cruiser’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.

A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Toyota. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can Toyota Land Cruiser transmission fluid leak?  Yes. Toyota Land Cruiser transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems. Transmission fluid leaks are often caused by worn or damaged transmission components, such as the transmission pan, cooler lines, seals, or housing. An overfilled transmission may also be behind your transmission fluid leak.
  • Can I drive my Toyota Land Cruiser with a transmission fluid leak?  Driving your Land Cruiser with a transmission fluid leak is highly discouraged.

2004 Toyota Land Cruiser Radiator Repair & Service

Keeping up with regular radiator maintenance in your 2004 Toyota Land Cruiser is essential for long-term engine health. To keep your radiator functioning, Toyota recommends replacing your antifreeze or coolant at scheduled intervals but you can also take note of any signs your radiator is going bad.

Common Toyota Land Cruiser Radiator Questions

  • What does an illuminated coolant temperature light mean for my Toyota?  Pay attention to the temperature gauge and lights on your dashboard. If a low coolant warning light comes on or your dashboard temperature gauge keeps rising, it’s likely that your engine is about to overheat (and could leave you stranded on the road). Wait for the engine to cool down, then have your coolant system checked immediately at your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care.
  • My Land Cruiser overheated! What can cause that?  Low coolant, a damaged cooling fan, a faulty water pump, a malfunctioning thermostat, or a clogged radiator could all cause your Toyota Land Cruiser engine to overheat.
  • What can cause a Land Cruiser radiator to make boiling or rumbling sounds? There could be air pockets in your Land Cruiser’s cooling system. You might also have a clogged radiator or faulty radiator cap (this last one is an easy fix!).
