I ordered one from Amazon.
Just replaced all 4 accumulators.
Penetration liquid on the nut, the wrench, and a wack or two with a mallet breaks them free really easy.
Here’s the wrench:

Many of us had the same question when we started learning about how the Active Height Control (AHC) and Toyota Electronic Modulated Suspension (TEMS) systems work, and, what Parts are common between LX470 and LC100 (where AHC/TEMS is fitted)...
You can indeed get brand new 100% genuine Toyota starters. Your local dealer will not carry it, and may not even have access to order it. Thanks to global supply chain and e-commerce though, you can buy one!
When you're looking at part numbers...
All coils were cracked, some more bloated than others, I knew this a month ago when I did plugs and put new boots on till I had a problem. Was always planning on replacing around 200k as PM so just moved up a bit early.
To get a ballpark cost add up the weight for each part and estimate package dimensions.
I purchased 4 AHC globes and it was $88 shipping for FedEx priority arriving 22 hours after package was picked up.
Front upper and lower control arms +...
Timing is good! The heater wasnt blowing hot through most of the cooling system bleeding, but eventually I rev’d the engine a few times and that solved it immediately.
I just ordered mine today. I have ordered from them before when I ordered new AHC globes. They were significantly cheaper than any dealer and brand new Japanese original OEM parts.
Here is the address.

I just got a like on this comment so it popped up in my feed here. Figured it was worth an update from real life in 2023 - 4 years later.
I moved to a new house (our "forever" home I hope) and my 20 mile commute to my corporate job went away...
I've had an LC rack in my LX for maybe 2 years now. No issues. I actually prefer the slightly quicker steering ratio.
That's 2 years and maybe 50k miles, with a good bit of hard wheeling involved. I wouldn't have any concerns about it whatsoever.
Do not use any FIPG (ultra gray or any) on WP gasket, nor either small or large O-rings. I use only 1282B FIPG on water inlet where FSM calls for it.
That said I do use FIPG to make Band-Aids, on block where WP gasket seals.
and said jiggle valve needs to be oriented correctly. Situated approximately, if not exactly at the 12 o'clock position to that it bleeds air out of the system correctly.
When looking at a thermostat, one end has a jiggle valve. The system can't properly deal with any air if that valve isn't installed correctly (pointed up, or towards the hood).
In this picture, it's on the right:
The running temps are more a factor of the thermostat than the radiator material.
The radiator material would make a difference in the rate of temperature changes, however, due to the differences in thermal efficiency between different materials...
My Mishimoto runs 186-188* in the warmer part of the year and 184-186* in the cooler part of the year. I may run a couple degrees cooler than my previous OEM radiator, however, that radiator was ~14 yrs old and had ~180K miles on it.
Is this the Mishimoto Al radiator? I've been running one for about two years without issue. I too generally lean hard on OEM parts, but went this route when it came to my radiator replacement.

It is alive! Finished the TB job in about 8-10 hours of labor. It started right up and ran smooth! No leaks and the heat and AC still work!
A quick 3 mile drive was eventless too!
