Hi All,
After 4+ years of looking for my very own LC I came across a nice LX470 and pulled the trigger.
It's a 2004 one owner (now retired CPA), GA vehicle with a long list of service at a couple LEXUS dealerships around Atlanta (223K miles) no rust, no accidents, best I can tell everything works.
I was not really planning on purchasing a vehicle with the AHC system, but I figured if they put it on this vehicle and the LC it must be world class, right? Maybe I should give it a chance before I decide to discard it.
So, what are it's strengths & weaknesses?
It goes up. It goes down. It goes in between. Can I adjust the heights of these settings?
I do like it sitting up, like in the high position.
Upon early investigation, it seems that there are other things that I may be able to do to tweak it.
I have read a little about sensors, springs, that sort of thing. Just enough to become lost and confused. Can I replace old springs and shocks?
Someone school me. PLEASE.
I do plan to still buy a LC when the right one comes along, so this one may go to one of the kids one day.
I may do a bumper, sliders, rack, wheels and tires. Not planning on doing anything off road that would risk me not making a 100 or 200 mile trip back home. Just breaking the ice with the off road thing.
Send me your knowledge!
Thanks,
Chris
