@OEMGUY0720 Yes, you did read that right. It was my DD for about a year when I first started a business. I was baselining everything. After getting off the ground we bought a new business vehicle, and left the LX at one of our offices for our guys to drive to job sites. Nobody actually drove it...

I don’t have time nor the tools/shop to work on a transmission myself. Posting for pure internet discussion and speculation before I take it to a shop. See if anyone has experienced exact symptoms. It’s a 1999 LX470. Transmission fluid was changed maybe 1k miles ago. 297k on it. Vehicle sat at...

Yes. I do not know the source though. Dropped off and Trollhole Cruisers for the work

Just paid the bill for mine this morning. 4 globes, $1,257.88, fluid $104.42, 2 shop hours $300…total $1,762.04 1999 with 296k on it

Ended up dropping her off at Trollhole's this morning for the broken diff mount, AHC work, and whatever else they find in the process that the prior shops may have missed

Had some rain this week and uncovered a leak at the driver door and rear hatch. Off to find door seals. May just do those 2 for now instead of $1,300 worth of seals for all doors and hatch.

I have ordered these. Will post some pictures and report back. At 295k and 27 years old, not sure I see justifying $500+ in mats/liners https://www.ebay.com/itm/296590474198?mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&siteid=0&campid=5337589904&customid=&toolid=10001&mkevt=1

Following along. Mine has an aftermarket head unit but sounds terrible.

It’ll get listed here first if we ever do. We almost sold it a few months back looking and driving like hot garbage in Charleston. Apparently when the guy drove it, it was acting like trans issues and the guy never followed back up to have it checked out. The mechanic on James Island that had...

Nice. Pretty sure I have those cargo hooks also. Will check tomorrow. I guess I could do oldest in the back like that same side, middle behind the driver with her tether to the jump seat hook. No tether needed on the infant seat. We try to leave 1 second row seat open for us to get back if...

Yeah, the seatbelt install isn’t the issues. It’s the question of what to hook the tether to

When I first got my LX back in 2022 I had 1 kid. We now have 3, all 3 in car seats. 1 infant seat and 2 can be forward facing convertible seats. LATCH didn't existing in 1999. And apparently neither did tethers. At the time with 1 kid, I installed the car seat with the seat belt, and then the...

Back from the shop this morning here in Clemson. New battery cable terminals and seems to be good. They think the poor connections were causing some other issues due to low voltage. She does have a broken front diff mount. Lined that up for next week. The shop manager here, wife of mechanic...

I’ll expand on my answer. I’m not currently in the market for tires for my LX. I am currently in the market for my Suburban. Mostly pavement, some construction sites, some around the farm. Farm is 6 hours south in Georgia. Full time in SC, lots of rain, snows 1-2 times a year so not a factor...

I want to hear some first hand feedback on the new Pirelli XTM AT. Pirelli not exactly know for AT tires but these look like a nice design. My LX has Goodyear Ultraterrain discount exclusive. I like them better than the og duratracs I had years ago on another vehicle. A little tighter center...
