I found two of mine, and I'm going to go to Ace Hardware in hopes of finding more 5mm bearings. I'm planning to just put three new ones in there with a little grease. Thanks, Kernal.

Answering my own question here for the benefit of others. I found one of the bearings, and they are 5mm. Good luck, chaps.

Thanks for the follow up. I was successful in getting it out. Used long needle nose, and a vise grip needle nose with tape wrapped on the teeth and it did the trick. Mine was really suctioned on. Your method was the route I was going to go if I...

Pics are mandatory. Otherwise you're not allowed in here. Just kidding. But let's see that rig.

There's very little tension holding that in, just gravity plus a smidge. If you can get two 90 degree tools like little picks in two different spots (close to 180 degrees apart, if possible), you'll be able to lift it right out. It just has to...

Wow. I think I would buy that right away and make sure no one else swoops in on me. Good luck. It looks great, obviously.

A prepurchase inspection (PPI) by an independent shop would provide you peace of mind and some potential bargaining data. It's a big enough purchase that you pausing to consider it. I would get the PPI done if I were you. For me, the service...

Well it hurts my ego to admit it but turns out the EFI fuse was the culprit after all. It seems that when I used my voltmeter to check it, the multimeter lead pushed the fuse back into contact so I had 12v on both sides of the fuse while doing...

Thanks, Kernal. That's sound advice.

You can enter you VIN in the Lexus site and create a profile. From there you can see the vehicle's history.

I just purchased a 2016 with a rough shifting issue when the transmission is cold, my local dealership had the TSB printed when I got there for my appt and was happy to perform the upgrade, solved the issue. I can’t believe the previous 2 owners...

Thanks, Delta. Much appreciated.

Ok, thanks! Didn't realize the drilling part, but makes total sense now! Keep up the good work @Delta VS

Yeah the three in mine are gone. I was hoping someone had one handy. Anyone?

Hi All, I am working on fixing the dreaded Floppy Mirror on my 80 Series. One of the ball bearings which sits in the bottom went missing. Anyone know what size I should use to replace it? Thanks.

@Delta VS, same here. I'm interested in this fix and I need more information than what is on your website. Please help. Thanks.

Don't let him near anything you own again

Yikes. That is BS about the XREAS anyways. Once you pulled the old XREAS struts and shocks, the truck is no different than a non-XREAS 4Runner.

The KO3 is one of the smallest 285… others are a tad larger thus amplifying the issues but they are resolvable with alignment tweaks, removing mud flaps, moving front liner and trimming

If anyone is still watching this thread, I have a question about running a 285/70 18 on a 2016+ LC. I see some comments that a 34" will cause some problems, and require some trimming. This size is a 33.7" according to online sources, and it seems...

So I've done this on a couple of boxes now. Mine was stuck on good too. What I ended up doing to get mine to pop IIRC was to rest the TC on the bench, with the entire weight of the TC resting on a brass drift, which was resting on that bolt, so...

Just a heads up, the videos above with Georg from Valley Hybrids are amazing, though he does go through some unnecessary steps if you're just regearing. I was following his videos and was removing a bearing from the end of the idler assembly (I...

I never could get that bolt to release, so I just left it in place. I wacked on it A Lot, and eventually decided that replacing the seal under it was not critical because it sits at the top of the TC, so no oil is going to leak, anyway. It was...

ask and ye shall receive, 285/70 R18's

That’s like as much as I paid for my 200. And I like the 200 seats more 😳
