Initial family Road Trip complete and overall I am pretty happy with the LX. We went over 2000 miles up to Mt.Shasta CA and back with detours and day trips along the way. I have never owned a AHC equipped vehicle before so it took me a little while to get used to it but I felt way less beat up...

I just recently bought a 2011 LX570, and love it. Given how much competition I had, I bet yours sells quick. GLWS

I just recently went through this decision, and despite loving my 100, I did sell it and purchased a very low mileage LX570. I'm currently on a San Diego to Mt Shasta road trip and I'm loving the road manners and better power. I did replace the radiator and heater T's but the job was simple...

big improvement in mine as well. I did a regular bleed with @Boston Mangler and then did the "Air Bleed" function on all 4 wheels a couple of times and the most noticeable improvements happened there. Really glad this worked out as I have a huge road trip coming up and was leery of driving it...

Next weekend might work as well

I've got time either today or tomorrow

Rollbar is back from powdercoating. Got it installed along with the rear seat and all the seatbelts.

I was able to stop the telescoping column, but wasn't able to get a key programmed yet

Problem solved and it was my fault. When I cut the old hose off, I scratched the hard line for the rear heater. I took a Jeweler's file and knocked down the scratch, put the hose back and threw on a new spring clamp I had. It's been fine over the last day or so. Vehicle has just under 83k...

Sounds good, mine are really spongy at low speed

I haven't yet, but it's a big reason why I bought it

When I replaced the radiator I ordered the heater T's and hoses as well using part numbers from a thread here. I did receive the updated T's but I'm wondering if I got the wrong hoses. The lower one won't seal despite being brand new with new clamps. I noticed I have a blue paint mark vs. a...

Rollbar has been dropped off at the powdercoaters for prep and PC. Was very grateful they able to help forklift it off of there. Getting it back on is going to be interesting. Since it was built in the vehicle it's a bit tricky to get it off/on.

Thanks! I see several features I could use. The auto telescoping column is pretty annoying in ours as well.

Been on a few test drives and 1 freeway run. Pretty happy with the firebird box so far, especially on the freeway.
