It was quiet for maybe 6 months so I'm not totally positive I lubricated the exact lip that is making noise. Without taking the whole section apart it's really difficult to tell which area is making the noise, but I still like brushing grease in there like I originally did. A few months ago I...

As title says, I'm looking for a set of the OEM LX 570 roof rails that came on vehicles between 2016 and 2021. I'm in Houston, but could also drive elsewhere if needed.

I had originally written +40, but then got confused and changed it haha. I’ll fix it.

Wheels are Method MR318's. Pretty sure that's one of maybe 2 or 3 total options for aftermarket wheels with a +40mm offset. In high mode

Well I decided it was time for some new rubber on the LX, even though my KO2's still had decent tread left. I just wasn't super happy with how busy the ride became with the KO2's so my goal was to get something a little more tame, but still capable. Ended up with Bridgestone Dueler A/T Ascent's...

Just as a note, like @TeCKis300 and @bloc said, the valley plate leak is not something that needs to be addressed urgently. It's such a slow leak most of the time that you can nurse it along by just checking and topping up fluids periodically. A bottle of the Toyota coolant is like $40 and can...

Not to mention the sensor brackets changed somewhere along the way. Dirty ones in my pics are original from 2008.

For anyone else doing the install, definitely listen to the recommendation to tighten the hardware a little bit after the install. I never bothered and noticed over the weekend I was missing a couple screws with a good amount of the others being loose. Might be good to just re check some of it...

Reach out to Toyos Limited (if he hasn't retired). He's right around I10 and Beltway 8 and is extremely knowledgeable with all sorts of Toyota platforms. I haven't had him do any work, but was able to talk to him for about an hour after I had mine detailed next door. He easily pointed out and...

Replaced the steering wheel with one from a Japanese spec LS460 (pretty sure this was from some special edition or something). Ended up being way more work fitting some of the plastics just due to the particular version of the wheel I bought. I believe it was because this version of the LS wheel...

I had mine replaced in January with OEM glass. My insurance only covers the cost of aftermarket glass plus installation, so to opt for OEM it was $690 out of pocket. Had to wait about a week for the Lexus glass, and then after the install was done I went back and replaced all the trim around the...

Fantastic. Thats definitely something I can tackle. And since you seem to have the silver color of the dash matched pretty well, I would absolutely love to see a replacement lower panel where the cig lighter and seat heater controls are. Theres currently zero good way to replace the cracking...

For your Qi2 charger, are you routing the cables back through the dash, or do they still hang down to the cigarette lighter?

From the bottom where the pull tab is. You can pull that tab upwards to get that outer boot out of the way mostly.

My reference for the 200 series is primarily with the AHC suspension system on LX’s, though I believe this is an option on the LC in other markets. I had a new GX 460 for about a year as well. The 200 is surprisingly capable in corners, but the caveat is still the weight. You’ll never forget...
