Does anyone have a shop they would suggest for AHC repair in the Holland/Grand Rapids, MI area? I’m working out of town in Holland, MI so I’m not familiar with the shops around here. When I got home from work I saw that the front end was all the way lowered. The ride started to get bouncy on...

What did they charge you? My LX570 is up there right now for service and that's one of the things they quoted.

I went out there for a late afternoon ride by myself and feel like it’s bull**** that you have to go through something that narrow to get to the trails. I was told by someone driving out that it was bull**** too. I could’ve easily made it through with a spotter but didn’t want to scrape my...

Walker Valley was a bust. The gate to the 4x4 trails was closed and getting around it was more than I wanted to attempt that late in the day without a spotter. It was also sleeting pretty hard. I talked to a guy in a lifted Tacoma that said he doesn’t ever drive around the gate because he...

Thanks for the info. Ended up having to work more than expected on my “day off”, but headed down to scope it out. Getting a bad link

Any specific areas around Mt Baker without running into gates. I’m about to head to Walker Valley. Do you have any trails there you would suggest. A little pinstriping is ok but not to the point yet where I’m ok with a bunch.

Recently added 285/70/17 (33’s) Ridge Grapplers on icon vectors. They took four months to come in. I have Slee sliders on my LX570. I have an air compressor and can air down. I also have recovery tracks, but don’t have a winch yet. With that being said I always choose wild as I can go without...

I’m in the Bellingham area for work for the next six weeks. Does anyone have any trail suggestions.

I got the AHC protectors but those will come off easily for service. I just need to get tires/wheels now and skid plates, at least for the transfer case. Factory skids look decent on the front for now. Trying to decide between bronze icon vector 5’s with C rated LT285/70-17 or E rated...

Thank you everyone for the replies. They pressure tested the coolant system on their own accord so I’m not worried about it. If they would’ve given me the explanation that you guys had about the overflow tank being empty I would’ve been fine with it but they wanted to pressure test it. They were...

I had to take my LX back to Parker because the coolant reservoir was empty. I decided to check it about two weeks after the valley plate repair, but have been out of town for work the last two months. They told me that there was no leak and I said maybe they just didn’t add enough fluid to fill...

I’ve had my run ins with stealerships, but have never been wronged by one after you call them out. It’s amazing how much they will drop their price once you tell them it’s BS. I used to go to Skip’s foreign cars for over ten years until he retired a couple years ago. Let me know if you have any...

I posted this immediately after they called me and then looked at other threads and this seemed like a good price. I dropped it off Friday with a 9:00 am appointment to replace the windshield, oil change and AHC fluid change and they didn’t get to it so they had to keep it over the weekend since...

Has anyone gotten quotes for this repair? The dealership is telling me $1237.
