Could not believe I am the first to write a thread about this (unless I missed it somewhere between here and the Club Lexus forum)
2007 GX470
Display screen blank- radio and AC work but cant control on touch screen (its blacked out)
tried a few tricks that others had suggested on the Lexus...
I did my hood about 9 years ago- I used left over second skin and it worked great. No issues with it going soft or sagging from engine heat or my hood being flat black.
I just cut out triangles and stuck it through the bracing where ever I could.
Gives it a nice thunk closing it and quiets...
Doh- did oil change today.- dyno rotella 15-40. Finish up and realized I put on a synthetic Oil heavy duty oil filter. Any issue? I can change it if needed but if not a big deal then so be it. I change oil every 3-4 k.
Thanks
My newish (15k) H55f was having a having a hard time shifting. Got some Royal Purple and did a fluid change. Expensive stuff but honestly it does make a real improvement in shifting. I'm impressed.
Three choices-
Rebuild- lot $$$ not a lot of success from what I gathered.
Replace- cruiserparts.net, mud classified etc- cheapest and easiest. But you don't know what your getting.
Swap- some options like H55f -$$$ depends on your budget and how much you like and how long you want to keep...
I got it from Profitts crusiers- in the bargin bin. I think it was made by 4+ ? It can hold my wieght (200) bouncing on it with the arm open so I think it is good to go! I also had a 2 inch piece of 1/2 inch angle welded on the outside of each swingarm so the tire and basket can not swing open...
This has worked well me and the family on a few road trips- super simple, cheap and light. Figured I would see how it worked and beef it up as needed but that has been the case. I keep the insert/ 2nd row piece in the garage when not in use...
