I'm in the middle of a motor swap on a '99 LX470 and everything seems to be plug and play with the exception of the main/ large transmission plug, which is a different shape. I assuming the salvage motor came from a later truck with an overdrive transmission. Both plugs have the same amount of...
I wouldn't pay a premium for the "low mileage" My 1999 LX is pristine and had 164K on it when I bought it for $7K. I'd keep shopping because there's no way you're getting more than twice the value out that rig. Opinions vary but you're asking for opinions.
OK, so I know this has been documented several times as you can see from some of the photos I lifted from other threads. Everybody seems to think it's difficult to upgrade with this "22pin" molex plug, etc. It's just like any other stereo install. For starters, don't be freaked about cutting...
AHC, even on normal setting. I barely trimmed the plastic fender at the pinch weld to get rid of the slightest rub. That plastic sticks out about an inch past the metal and it's as thin as tissue paper.
Nothing new here, just wheel spacers. That being said I just had to show these off to anybody who hasn't seen spacers from BORA.
I originally bought a set of 4 wheel centric spacers that were really nice, but despite the claim that they fit my '99 LX, the fronts wouldn't clear the drive...
I put 20 hours into my 80 series 4X4labs rear kit but it turned out kick ass. You can definitely save some money if you have the spare time/ desire to weld up a kit.
I know there is a lot of web wheeling going on here but has anybody had any actual dealings with an auto locker (Aussie perhaps) on an all wheel drive setup like the 80 or 100? I had them in the 62 and loved them, but of course you could disconnect the front when driving on the street. Just...
Mine's quirky too. The vehicle sat overnight and then disengaged this morning when I started driving. AHC "off" cam on and I could not reset it without having to turn the engine off and re start. It seemed to do its job after that. Too much rake for my liking on the factory setting so I may...
