A great start @beanTime -- and this has established that the basic functions of the AHC and TEMS systems are capable of working. Continued maintenance is well worth the trouble. Black foamy fluid is exactly what should be expected where there...

Happy griots 3n1 user here. I’m not a very frequent detailer, though I do try to do a deep wash and clay bar annually, every two years at worst. Griots cheap and lasts for 3 months+. Combined with a protective dirt layer it seems to do pretty...

I’ve seen a few LX’S with low miles dealer work orders which have had just one shock replaced.

I started using a foam cannon about 2 weeks ago.This one I found on Amazon for $30.00 locks on to my pressure washer. You need a special soap which I found at Walmarts for $4.00 a gallon. Spray it on, wait 5 minutes and spray off. I’m happy to...

Got a 2021 Y with 100k miles clocked driven in the northeast. Zero issues with it and drives in the snow great. I’m absolutely amazed there has been no problems with this car.

No other self driving car is close to FSD. JUST AN UPDATE. My father Model Y Launch Edition has driven him everywhere with ZERO intervention since March 8 2025. He is 89 years old, about to turn 90. Model Y has given him freedom. That is beyond...

Don’t forget to grease the 2 drive shafts.

Also FYI, if you've got pulsing in the brakes, it's not always a warped rotor (or rotor in need of re-surfacing). More often it's deposits of pad material from somebody abusing the brakes (riding the brakes down a mountain pass and then coming...

You’re on the right track. The new tires and rotor resurfacing will fix the issues, IMHO. One thing to consider, if they have to remove the rotors to resurface, maybe just replace them? The OEM rotors are relatively inexpensive.

Depends. Rotors can be resurfaced one time at or before 50 k miles if they aren’t too pitted.

What about us?

New Land Cruiser and LX ‘s usually have brakes replaced before 40k miles and I would assume tires soon after. You will need to learn how to coast 😀 It’s certainly not a Rav.

The bright side is, it's not a vehicle with many other major issues.

Yes exactly the same installation 👍

Brendan, I sold my 2014 Lexus LX570 but removed the rear tailgate light before selling it, and plan to install it in a 2018 LX570. Just checking if the install is the same. Thanks.

Thought the valley plate leak was limited to 2014 and below?

Cheapest thing is rotate and balance the tires. Next would be an alignment.

And not just any generator.

Yes. And a generator. Love my Ford. My father loves his Model Y (2026). Has not had to touch the steering wheel in 4 months of ownership except to park the car in a parking lot.

I think that is the going to be in the future for everyone whether we want it or not. The reviews for the LX700 that I have read have been positive.

Best bet is a balance of both gas and electric. Might have to make changes every four years:bang:

Regarding windshield leakage, does this one from an 18 look oem? I know it says Lexus, but wanted to ask anyway.

Voice to text is the devil....

If you’re talking about the 16+ LX maybe consider the Gamiviti option. https://www.gamiviti.com/lx570-brackets

Just happen to notice many of the 16+ do not have factory oem roof cross bars. Just side rails. Are roof rail cross bars a good option...
