    100 Series LX470 8HP swap

    sounds like u got a good plan, let me know if u need anything , got 3d scanners, vorons, just ordered a fiberseeker 3 and a DMC2 mini that should be here soon. I do conceptual design/engineering for my drone company so this stuff is relatively easy to make inserts/mounts etc, you have a...

    100 Series LX470 8HP swap

    im stoked on ur build, how are you going to control the transmission? i was under the impression that the transmission computer is tied to the engine ECU, im in california and cant swap that because of CARB. how are you planning on the transmission control and also what are you going to do...

    LX470 Solenoid Relay in VSC (techstream)? Super rough ride on small bumps only

    didnt think about body mounts, interesting thought, was also thinking maybe it could be because i run nitto terra grapplers and i think they are LT, i noticed my neighbors max psi on his tires (american 35") are only like 35 psi max while mine are 80psi max, wonder if the stiffer sidewall is...

    LX470 Solenoid Relay in VSC (techstream)? Super rough ride on small bumps only

    I dont believe 2001 has VGRS - i dont think i have a blown globe - i have good graduations and the suspension is soft over smooth rolling bumps, just when going over small impact fast bumps.

    LX470 Solenoid Relay in VSC (techstream)? Super rough ride on small bumps only

    i air down to 12-15psi and it does help a lot but i still feel it should be absorbed by the suspension, i dont air down for small graded roads etc, just when i get to a spot that i know ill be off road for a good portion and i need the grip. Just not sure if this is how it is supposed to be...

    LX470 Solenoid Relay in VSC (techstream)? Super rough ride on small bumps only

    alright so i have been chasing this down for a while, and its kind of driving me nuts. The car drives great, and is very smooth except for small bumps, like if you are offroading over small bumps (graded roads) it feels like it will rattle your teeth out, doing the same roads in a different...

    Pre-03 nav delete how-to

    2 options i can think of, hook a coupla things up and test if those work , or find a wiring diagram from japanese version and see what each color is and correlate them to your colors

    yeah it is definitely different, good news and bad news, good news is you have the connector and electricity doesnt care about the color, and you have the connector, but probably not the pins to re-pin it. Bad news is it makes it harder to confirm you are wiring the correct wire to the correct...

    Pre-03 nav delete how-to

    i will, right now doing the tailgate storage, my old carpet was bending/cracking so i couldnt put it back on so i scanned the trunk and used some 1/8" aluminum to make the deck, mapped out a cutting template for the metal and for the tailgate frame, printed them and taped them together, ordered...

    once i get it completed i might do it, might even print them, fiberglass the inside for extra strength n sell um, so they are direct bolt in, but u have to cut that interior rear quarter to fit the sub (as you can see in the pic, mine is cut to accommodate my old work)

    Pre-03 nav delete how-to

    I did manually solder them, not preferrable for moving wires but they dont move that much and shouldnt really be an issue and added tessa tape at the end to act as a strain relief as well as heat shrink tubing on each wire. I didnt use the low melt solder heat shrink tubing mainly because i...

    Pre-03 nav delete how-to

    just a little update, another one done, not too hard, my amp took a dump, was going to repair it but upon taking it apart, found it was all conformal coated so was going to be a nighmare. I bought the 3 knob center a LONG time ago (probably 5 -7 years ago) knowing this day would eventually...

    01' lx470 mark levinson with nav - amp went out - what to do

    yeah i dont believe its an 8 channel amp, each driver isnt a channel, each door in the front has 3 component drivers with frequencies relegated to each driver by either a crossover or inline crossover components - i took the amp out today and its annoying to even diagnose because the entire...

    01' lx470 mark levinson with nav - amp went out - what to do

    wow you are a godsend - did you end up using a separate amplifier or just used the new head unit?

    01' lx470 mark levinson with nav - amp went out - what to do

    Interesting. Did urs exhibit the same symptoms? (No volume control, no audio with some occasional intermittent popping, then everything full blast for a split second back to no audio/intermittent pipping?) Also what are you referring to as "AMS"
