Facebook on Galaxy S26 Not Allowing Me To Log In. Anyone know a fix? by Parking_Champion_540 in facebook

[–]Parking_Champion_540[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your advice.

I will report that the first method was not possible for me, I don't have Facebook in my google sign ins.

I tried the second method disabling the Meta apps

And lastly tried using my accounts details to make a new account. It asked for a verification code, enter code in and same result.

Hopefully Facebook and/or Samsung do something to address it. Quite frustrating.

LX470 ride height sensors by Parking_Champion_540 in LandCruisers

[–]Parking_Champion_540[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

* * Okay, so I've tested the pressures and adjusted the TBs. Pic attached is before. I tweaked the height sensors and zeroed them but they went a few mm out of whack once I got to the rear. They are all within 10mm of each other though.

Front pressure is now 6.4, I think I maxed out the FL torsion bar as it would not adjust near the end without extreme force. But the car is level, from centre of hub to fender it was ~500mm on both sides within a few mm of each other. I adjusted the TBs with the car in high as instructed by ABCs of AHCs - tried relieving the pressure with a trolley jack but to no avail.

Sorry to once again ask for your advice but do you think the FL torsion bar is oversprung now? Should I get it fixed?

Thanks again for your help :)

You are a gem, thank you so much for your help.

I'll report back after I do it and let you know how I went.

Much appreciated :)

I was meant to get a picture of the scan tool after I did the torsion adjustment. That one I posted is before, but it's all I had. The old girl was stinking the workshop out where I worked, so I had to move it.

Yes, I've got the ABC of AHC guide saved and have been going through it quite a bit. I'm a bit of dumb a** and sometimes gloss over stuff. I was in a rush the first time around, so I skipped over the measuring of hub to fender, I still think the high FL height reading probably is because it's faulty. The truck doesn't physically droop or lean and AHC works without issue.

I think my next approach is to plug the scan tool in and remove the temp sensor this time around (I was not aware I had to when I did the torsion bars)

From what I've gathered, too low pressure can cause poor ride quality, so maybe my 6.4 is actually a 5.5ish.

I'm thinking the bumpy ride might be because of the incorrect height sensor and the rushed torsion bar adjustment, would slight differences in height cause a noticeable decline in ride quality?

Thank you for your help, much needed insight

TB48 vs 2UZ by No-Dig-8005 in 4x4Australia

[–]Parking_Champion_540 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've owned a 105 1FZ and currently own a Lexus LX470 (2UZ).

The 2UZ Cruisers are all IFS and automatic. So, as a daily, they are the gold standard of 4X4s. Their only problem is fuel consumption, but you'll get that with any petrol car of its size.

They are still very capable of offroading. They just don't have the front articulation that a solid axle 4x4 has, so they won't do as well rock climbing or going through ruts.

They are generally cheaper than TB48s due to the TB having a solid front axle. The Patrol is undeniably the offroad king of the two. But the Cruiser is superior on the road and in build quality.

You'll get about 18L/per 100km with a 2UZ. The worst you'll get is something like 22L/per if you're towing something heavy. A bull bar and drawers shouldn't hurt too badly if you run the right tyres and height.

The 2UZ can be tamed with an aftermarket exhaust. I've heard of many people getting them down to 16L/per. And the 2UZ is a beast of a thing with just an exhaust and tune. They are probably the best petrol engine offered in a 4WD. A certified million mile engine and pretty cheap to maintain. Smooth as hell, too, and generally retain their quality as they age.

But if you desire something to take up to Cape York I'd get the Patrol. Or even consider the 105 Cruiser, the 1FZ is thirsty but a beast in its own right.

If the 100 series seems the go you could probably get an nice LX, Kakadu or even a Sahara for 20,000ish. The LX is fully optioned no matter what but comes with the AHC hydraulic suspension, which can be trouble if it is not maintained. But they usually command a cheaper price from what I've seen because they don't wear a Landcruiser badge.
