Traded in the '05 470 for a '11 570. Not the plan, but the 470 saved my life. She's a tank.

The 49151 are for the rear and the 49141 are for the front.

I did the four globe replacement and fluid exchange on my '05. Made a significant improvement in ride quality after 220,000 miles. The bouncy and harsh ride is smoother and the truck sits higher. I bought four globes from IMPEX for $450 and $83 in shipping. AHC fluid was $60 at the local Lexas...

I replaced the motor in lock actuator and everything works except the new motor sounds way too powerful. There is a loud thump when it locks and unlocks. Kinda jarring. Anyone else notice this? I used the FC-280PC-22125 motor.

Tracked down the a-pillar leak. Anyone have experience replacing the bolts on the crossmembers?

There is a Kenwood Excelon XR900-5 and AudioControl LC8i hidden in there.

My aftermarket amp is located in the passenger side of the trunk behind the panel. Opposite the sub.

Found this future problem while replacing the idler pulley. Temporarily zip tied out of the way until I can figure out how to undo the harness without breaking the plastic.

Rebooted the passenger side drive shaft. Found some writing on the shaft. Does this mean I have an aftermarket shaft? And Dang! This job stretched my abilities as an amateur.

Great Idea! Which Joe Hauler model? I have to plan for 470 lbs.

Based on the service history, it was the first time. Definitely rides better.

AHC fluid change. Had some foamy fluid come out. Should I be worried?

More like what I have done this month... Spent 40 hours on Mud. Replaced the leaking radiator with a Denso. Full coolant flush. Sealed the sunroof weather stripping with flowable silicon. Greased the propeller shaft and spiders. Tried out the local Lexus dealer shop, and i'm not sure if I trust...
