CanadianRockyCruiser replied to the thread Rear winch power line routing.Not something I carry everyday, but when I know I'm going to muddy places with few trees, it's worth the weight just to have peace-of-mind. -

So now when do we get the flex shots? 90 minutes, c'mon already?

Thanks for posting pictures of your install process. This will help the other members install theirs, which I just shipped out today.

Second side is in. Thats in real time boys. While taking photos. Absolutely beautifully engineer ed product @turbo8 !!! Maybe the ONLY change i would think would be a little bevel here to help guid the shock bolt, but with ahc purged and a...

Looks easy enough. I think I have all of the necessary pieces in scrap metal laying around. That wheel/hub winch is wild! But it works.

CanadianRockyCruiser replied to the thread Rear winch power line routing.Homebuilt. I followed some youtube instructions from this redneck: Works like a charm. I also use a winch damper with this jerry-rig, because I'd hate to taste anchor. The guy in the video has a way cooler winch than my warn EVO12s, but...

CanadianRockyCruiser replied to the thread Rear winch power line routing.Finding myself in a similar situation earlier this winter, I've begun to carry a ground anchor to avoid shoveling.

CanadianRockyCruiser replied to the thread Rear winch power line routing.If you are using a hitch mounted winch that will be removed, consider a removable wire set that's stored with it. Use an Anderson connector under the hood and run the wires over the roof rack, in the few situations that you use the rear winch...

As someone who has seen bear spray accidentally deployed in an enclosed space (wall tent), I'd highly caution against this idea.

CanadianRockyCruiser reacted to TeCKis300's post in the thread PSA - Clean Your Seat Filter with Like.
Spring cleaning? Vacuuming the endless sand in my car from the last desert trip, I'm reminded to clean the seat filter. It's a little known filter for the cooled/heated seats. The seat lifts high enough to vacuum out the filter with a crevice...

CanadianRockyCruiser reacted to CharlieS's post in the thread Anyone need a used 2017 LC200 steering wheel? with Like.
Yes please. I'd like to send mine in to be redone and need a temp wheel. I'm thinking we could then use it as a core for others on mud who need one for the same purpose.

CanadianRockyCruiser replied to the thread Long Travel AHC.How much more than 20mm are you looking for?
-
I took a little time today to come up with a concept. What if I make new shock top hats that will have 15mm spacer built in, with the option to add another 5mm spacer? This will get rid of the studs and bolts will be used instead. These will...

CanadianRockyCruiser reacted to TeCKis300's post in the thread Builds TeCKis300 LX570 "FLX" Build with Like.
A key enabling technology of this build is Lexus's (and Toyota overseas) incredible AHC. I've written about it extensively but it deserves a highlight here as it's central to the build. It's incredible in the way it enables a duality of...

Updated 1/3/22 Long time in coming. A build thread for my ‘09 LX570. Hereby known as FLX. Yes, some mild flexing from an understated Lexus. And playing on the F-LX name and what an LX-F could be. A core goal with the build is to have...

CanadianRockyCruiser reacted to WkndProject's post in the thread New 200 roof rack option with Like.
I got the Westcott rack installed and am happy with it. I haven’t loaded it for a trip yet, but quality is nice and there appears to be plenty of tie down points. Why I picked the Westcott rack: My 200 is a daily driver first and foremost but...
-
@grinchy - I see no non-destructive way to get inside the shocks. It is what it is and there's very limited opportunity to mod. I think the opportunity would be to look at the LX600 AHC dampers. The LX600 being a lighter vehicle isn't great...

CanadianRockyCruiser replied to the thread Anatomy of an AHC shock.Toying with different designs for a LCA mount that will raise the lower bolt/eyelet mount...trying to come up with something "reversible" for an AHC lift on the front end. Many thanks for the measurements. It saves me having to try to...
-
You got it. Added some bushing dimensions to the posts above. For the dimensions you're looking for: 16mm bolt hole, lower shock eyelet outside dimensions: 66mm tall, 63mm wide. Wondering what you're cooking up :)

CanadianRockyCruiser replied to the thread Anatomy of an AHC shock.Finally got around to tearing this down eh? Thanks for sharing! While you are at it, can I ask for some measurements? Specifically the eyelet diameter at the bottom of the shock, and the cross sections on the metal outside the bottom mount...

This is not the case on an AHC vehicle. The shocks do almost no dampening. They just control the height. I wouldn’t replace them unless they are leaking. If your truck is not riding smooth I would first try a fluid flush (recommended every...

CanadianRockyCruiser replied to the thread 2011 LX with 96KM - Lexus Dealer says AHC Pump failed during flush.-Ask what procedures they completed, in person, and document their response. It may be worthwhile to familiarize yourself with the factory procedure first. -Ask how many times the technician has completed the proceedure on other LX's -Definitely...

CanadianRockyCruiser replied to the thread Long Travel AHC.Further inspiration for anyone with more fabrication time on their hands than I've currently got. BDS Suspension has a novel approach for a Tundra lift kit that could work for the bottom of the front AHC struts (albeit not a 7" lift in the case...

Maybe I'm not describing it well, but with a sleeve that has the right inner diameter, a fixture wouldn't really be needed. Yes, would need a bit more standoff particularly at the reservoir part of the shock, and there's ways to minimize heat...
