I think that is the official procedure. At least that is how mine went!Did the heater tees. Pinched some fingers, cussed, lost part of the old tee down the pipe, and had to replace a small section of hose. It’s done though. No leaks

Busy day. New tires 285 65 18 BFG KO2, plus a spare that replaced the original dueler that came on the truck when it was bought in 2007.
Found a great rattle can at O’Reillys that almost perfectly matched the Galactic Grey Mica. Painted the mudflap delete plates with 3 coats and installed them.
Used the remainder of the rattle can to touch up the plastic grill that was faded and looking bad. Masked off the TEQ badge and the whole grill looks much better.
Ejected the navigation disc and rebooted the system and amazingly the map came back after 3 years of not working.
Nothing too technical, but really was happy with the improvements. Truck will be ready for my turkey hunt next weekend.
Finally threw on my homebrew fab LCA's. I used 1.5x0.25 DOM sleeved with 2x0.25, JJ's, and sleeved poly bushings. Total cost was $240. I didn't notice any new noises or a harsher ride at all. If anything I noticed the rear end is a little more compliant when trying to articulate. The important thing was to get that pinion angle corrected. The arms are adjusted to 3/8" longer than stock (five turns of the JJ).

Also gave it a much needed bath!
I may have spoken too soon. I found the drive for the Nav DVD under the passenger seat and ejected the disc. Disc was virgin with no scratches. Put the disc back in the drive and restarted the ignition. Screen referenced the reboot. Map worked for the day, but back to DVD not found message now.Referring to you nav disc/reboot. How’d you do it?!

I have the 02 LC with 09 disc... I need to get the gen 4 and the latest disk made for the LC is that correct?If you are getting a disc not found error, the drive is likely the issue. I recently replaced mine with a used one I got of eBay. Works fine now. Mine is an 03 LC with a Gen 3 drive in it. I upgraded to a Gen 4 and got the latest disc for it. It's a drop in replacement for a Gen 3 Nav. Only takes about 20 minutes to do the whole swap. You don't even need to remove the seat, just move it front and back a couple of times to get to bolts.

If you want to upgrade to the newest NAV system compatible with your LC, then replace with a Gen 4 drive and disc. You could also just replace your existing Gen 2 drive with the same generation unit and use your existing disc. I think the newest map disc is v13.1 for the Gen2/3 drives. When I went to Gen 4 a couple of weeks ago, a used drive was about $200 and the newest v15.1 disc was $10 (a DVD copy but it works). I think I put the part number for a gen 4 drive a little farther back in this thread.I have the 02 LC with 09 disc... I need to get the gen 4 and the latest disk made for the LC is that correct?
I checked on my in cabin air filters in my 99 LC and like many here nothing was in there. I ordered two from Amazon ($17.95). I used the Toyota PN listed in FAQ section and it came up as an LX470 but same Toyota PN. I'm assuming this will fit in my LC. Anyone know for sure?
Yes the compartment is there just no filters inside. I went ahead and ordered the Lexus ones at $17 vs the LC ones at $26.Does your truck already have the evap case cover eith the smaller filter cover also but there just weren't any filters present? The LX was more common to have the cabin filter than the LC which is probably why the number came back as a Lexus part.
@reznunt do you have a write up on this mod? Looks great and I'd feel a bit better in the rocks with beefier LCA's out back.
Did you create an adjustable panhard bar too? I am curious at what height the caster of the pinion and side shift of the axle become a concern?
