My LX470 threw a Serpentine Belt today and this video contained all the information required to get the belt back on. Only feedback would be what are the implications if this belt fails.

I've learn alot in your videos really detailed and easy to understand as you explain sequentially. In future video I'd like to see you replacing rocket cover gasket and the rubber boot protecting the wheel arm joint [whatever its called] in 100 series. Always like watching your videos 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 tops, Thanks

Great video. I have the belt and now the how to. Def keeping the old belt for a spare. I think I have the same bumper on my Lx470 1999. It's an TJM.

The Toyota manufacturer calls it a timing belt but the OEM label states its a serpentine belt. Why is that?
