Just placed my order! Thanks!

@plaidwagon: any idea when you'll have tan LX470 seatback nets back in stock?

I'm a little salty they sent me a rear anti-squeal shim kit when I ordered fronts recently. Other than that, all my order/packing/shipping experiences with them have been great.

Great to hear this worked for you! I couldn't pass CO emissions last year and this was the last resort before going with new cats. Thankfully it worked. I do have P0430 showing back up now, but I suspect it's from bad gaskets on the passenger side. I screwed up my order and haven't gotten back...

Have you had a chance to reinstall the cats and test?

Had to hack mine off and replace with new nuts/bolts. There was no other way those little bastards were coming off.

I ordered the front anti-squeal shim kit (04945-60010) from Serra Toyota and I don’t think the sent the correct parts. Can anyone confirm whether the parts I received are correct? Here is what arrived: Here’s what partsouq and other online sources show:

Oh man, I bookmarked this thread last week and then didn't get around to inquiring until today. Procrastination strikes again!

Are these still available?

I'm looking at swapping in Perry Parts bump stops. I also run the Dobs 3" IMS shocks, and I'm trying to figure out if I need the standard length or extended bump stops. Which length did you go with and what are your thoughts? Love the rig btw.

Looking for a set of the 16" silver LX470 wheels in the Denver area

I had success removing the cats and running a solution of distilled water, oxalic acid, and citric acid through the cats for about 6 hours. https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/es052310t https://www.subaruforester.org/threads/p0420-catalytic-converter-citric-acid-bath.91379/...

Just FYI - Lexus dealers are running a 10% off plus free shipping up to $100 through Tuesday. Not as good as the current Toyota sale but you can get a VGRS rack for ~$845 out the door depending on the dealer, such as Cavender Lexus of Lubbock.

I went to place an order this morning for the 555 tie rod set and it’s out of stock 😭 Any idea when they’ll be back in stock?

Got the passenger side done. PB Blaster on the upper outer metal piece helped a ton. Came right out with the air chisel after that. For the install, I just pressed everything together with the washer, nut and bolt. Didn't have any luck with a c-clamp, as it kept slipping off. Now waiting for...
