    The OFFICIAL clunk/thunk driveshaft thread

    Since lubing with M1 a few weeks ago, just about every clunk returned. Decided to add more grease to the driveshafts and instead went with Sta-Lube Moly. Whereas the brake release clunk previously returned same day, the Moly has so far kept me 100% clunk free thru the weekend. So far so good and...

    The OFFICIAL clunk/thunk driveshaft thread

    Well, spent some time looking around under the car last night and noticed the rear lower control arm bushings are in poor shape. After some reading, sounds like these bushings can also be a contributor to thunks. Looks like something I need to do anyway and we'll see if it helps in this regard!

    The OFFICIAL clunk/thunk driveshaft thread

    Well, clunk is still present while stopped in drive and releasing the brake pedal. Never had clunk/thunk when shifting from N to D or R

    The OFFICIAL clunk/thunk driveshaft thread

    So I greased up the zerks this past weekend. And then, of course, found this thread. I've got the thunk. Prior to greasing, I had thunks letting go of the brake from a stop, occasionally when stepping on the gas from coasting, when transitioning from incline/decline such as my driveway, and a...

    What am I getting myself in to here?

    The more experienced guys can advise on what's normal or not with the raising/lowering. But I'll just chime in with yes, if you wanted to keep the AHC going forever, it will get very expensive. I got into my '04 LX470 with the intention of swapping in a 'normal' suspension once faced with a...

    Slider pic thread

    Good lord my wallet didn't need to see this thread. I had sliders as a later mod, but now realizing White Knuckle is just a few hours away, I might have to rethink.

    I need to make a tough decision, what's your gut say?

    For this intended use, you've made the right decision. Keep it and don't look back

    I need to make a tough decision, what's your gut say?

    As mentioned above by SoCal Dan, really depends on what you're using the truck for. We all have different priorities. Personally, I wanted a local CA 2003+ that was mechanically well maintained and wasn't going to pay the premium for immaculate exterior/interior condition as I intend to use it...

    AP's LX470 Build

    Had quite a Rock Warriory weekend. Spent Saturday with a little desert road trip to pick up another full set at a killer price. Looks like they're in great shape, just simply need to be de-plastidipped. I intend to clean them up, keep two and sell the other two. Not ready yet, but if anyone's...

    AP's LX470 Build

    A sub that sounded more like a snare drum was the first item that had to be addressed. I was slightly disappointed when I pulled out the sub, as there were no obvious tears in the foam like in the photos I'd seen online. After a few taps on the outer edge, I realized the entire speaker edge had...

    New LC owner in CO

    I believe you can get the manuals thru the toyotaowners website. All you really need is the VIN. The site will also show you the service history, if performed by Toyota. Super jealous of how close you are to Slee

    AP's LX470 Build

    No 5th, but think I'm going to purchase one from a fellow forum member. In hindsight, I should have just purchased both sets... oh well!

    AP's LX470 Build

    Thanks! I was initially planning to go with 18" oem Tundra rims and powdercoating them dark grey or black. Then out of nowhere, a local guy was selling two sets of Rock Warriors. Went to check out the cleaner set and yeah, now they're cozy in my house waiting for Spidertrax spacers to show up...
