    Dissent Roof Rack, I DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!

    When I purchased bumpers and a roof rack it took about six months. I emailed multiple times for status updates and every time was told they were at powdercoat and would ship the next week. It was never true. Ordered a swing out carrier more recently and it took 4 months. Looks like they have...

    100 Series HVAC Controller - NAV DELETE - (OEM+)

    Fantastic work, will follow your progress with interest. I'm content with everything on my 100 series other than the stereo/nav/climate controls. Actually tossed the factory DVD unit and amp in the trash within a couple weeks of buying mine. I'm in Phoenix and happy to offer mine up for any...

    My 05 LX470 build thread

    Mine did a similar thing last weekend. I switched keys and it started right up. Both of my keys are aftermarket replacements. Thinking maybe the chip in one of them failed. Yours tries to start just that little bit though. Mine wasn't doing that.

    How to connect a trailer brake controller to a (late?) 100 series TLC

    In case you are still looking for an answer after all these years I just put the ground on one of the metal knee brace bolts.

    How to connect a trailer brake controller to a (late?) 100 series TLC

    So I know this is a 20 year old thread... but it helped me hook up my brake controller today so thank you. But then you can't paint the "knee brace" metal.

    Which Aftermarket Seat Covers to Buy in 2021

    I just picked up the Coverados for $20 at Nellis (Amazon return auction site). Really happy with them. For the armrest I got the cover on how I wanted it, then felt for the receiver part on the side of the seat. I cut a really small hole at that spot, just big enough to get one finger through...

    Method Racing Wheels

    I like your style. I went with the 706. What lift are you running and how do you like the 35s?

    UPDATED 09/12/2025!!! Huracan Fabrication Tailgate Storage Group Buy ENDS 09.26.25!!!

    Thanks for the info. I actually bought one on this group buy for my 04 LX470. I marked out the template and noticed the huge reverse lights right in the middle of everything. Also the center support bracket isn't in the center of the cut so it would have to come out leaving a lot of the new...

    LX470 Towing Setup is Dumb

    Unless you really need the high clearance of the integrated bumper receiver, the Curt bolt on hitch is probably the best option for most. Adds a little more tow capacity (6500 vs 5000lbs) and avoids these issues.

    LX470 Towing Setup is Dumb

    Funny my bike rack fits, because it's more like 1.5" and then expands out to tighten when you put the threaded hitch pin through. However it had to go in so far to reach the pin hole I had to ditch my spare tire to use it. I agree it's a good sturdy low profile towing setup. Just so odd that...

    LX470 Towing Setup is Dumb

    Reviving this old thread because I just ran into this. I have the bumper integrated towing setup and none of my ball mounts fit. Even ball mounts sold in the US as "2 inch / 50 mm" are actually 50.8. Hard to imagine that 0.8mm makes a difference but they don't fit in mine. I have a couple of the...

    2004 LX470 - intro/build thread

    Found a little $$ under the seat so that helps to offset the cost of the Dissent stuff.
