I have this color as well on my '05 LX. It grows on you and as jumptrader said it looks silverish in low light, and sometimes has a blueish hue in the sun. Doesn't really show dirt either which is nice.

As the title says, in August I replaced the DS rear AHC shock because it was leaking fluid (enough to cover the shock body, but not drip on the floor). At the time, the PS rear was bone dry on the outside with no signs of leaks. A few weeks after install, I checked again, and both were dry...

What brand was the starter they found to be DOA?

Both of my '05 LX OEM remotes are the black plastic. Fit is flush.

Further update: Pressure readings were 6.5 F/ 6.5 R back in June (see above post). Height sensor readings were: FR -0.0; FL -0.1; RR -0.0. Cross level was within ~1/8 inch. Recently, I replaced the leaking rear shock and added Slee 30mm spacers to the rear. I also flushed the fluid again...

Ordered.

1. Unsure, but most online toyota dealers request your vin when placing an order "to increase order accuracy." Most dealers list a phone # you can call, and verify with the parts people over the phone 2. I am guessing that no matter which you order, you will get the "H2" piece. H0 shows to...

I'm pretty excited about the new version!

The local Lexus dealer here in East TN quoted me ~$1100 for a 90k service when I was in for recall work. That was without a roller, idler, tensioner, or seals. Too much imo. Edit: I notice you have an '07 model, and you mentioned seals in your description. I think the VVT-I engines require...

Just to update this thread: I set cross level according to Paddo above. Then, I dialed in the front pressure (which wasn't too far off to begin with) and this also helped the rear pressure figure. Next, I flushed via Paddo's method. I improved from 7-8 marks to 10 marks on the graduation...

2018 TOYOTA TECHSTREAM TIS MINI OEM VCI LEXUS SCION DIAGNOSTIC SCANNER TOOL KIT | eBay I'm sure you can get it somewhere cheaper, but the service this guy provided to guide me through a few installation hiccups was worth it to me. Very responsive, and was recommended on a Tundra forum. AHC...

bump for assistance.

So I am still pretty new to the 100 series, and am learning a great deal as I go. I have a FSM for the correct year ('05 LX), and Techstream. Next on my list is to figure out and maintain the AHC system. As far as maintenance in the past for this vehicle, it looks like it was dealer...

Are you guys replacing the big and small clamps on the inner boots, or usually just the small outboard clamps? Very informative post.

Thanks, I'll definitely do that. My LX only has 70k miles, so I'm wondering if the 2.2 is still the correct application, or if I'll have gap in a few hundred miles. I'll check, and report back.
