    if you're lookin at it, its there. ;) If it wasn't there your ATF would have violently ejected itself from that hole. Congrats on completing the job.

    fj80 and lx450 ps pump rebuild

    That’s an aluminum plug. Usually a failure point on these as they age. This is what blew out on me during winter. Wits End used to sell an emergency one you could replace it with.

    fj80 and lx450 ps pump rebuild

    I don’t remember as well, but I do remember I did it wrong the first time. @artech Just check the stack up when you rebuild it. If the final large C clip doesn’t fully seat (youll know cause you’ll question if it looks fully seated) then flip the stack up and try again. Otherwise, what @SucioP...

    fj80 and lx450 ps pump rebuild

    I knew i must of missed it! Thanks again for the guide. Just finished mine up last weekend and she's operating better than ever and much quieter! Side note: I do recommend buying a Wit's End Emergency plug and throwing it in the glove box just in case. My plug blew out right outside of Steam...

    fj80 and lx450 ps pump rebuild

    This is a great guide, thanks for posting it! I may have missed it but I think there is a gap in the steps when removing the bearing from the shaft. There is a C clip (I see the part listed in the rebuild portion but not removal) that has to be removed (and will more than likely be damaged). My...

    97 lx450 not starting

    I chased a no start problem for a few months. After a new battery, I finally set aside some time to dig into it. If all of the above check out (correct voltages where they should be in the ignition path) take a look into the alarm system. I ended up having to bypass one connector on DS kick...

    Rosen aircraft sunvisor to replace sagging visor?

    The engineer in me says these do the job but the perfectionist in me has to say that there is always a more elegant solution lol. Especially something that would better flow with the Rosen design. What did you have in mind? I can take some more pics to show a better representation if need be...

    Rosen aircraft sunvisor to replace sagging visor?

    This is an interesting solution, pretty cool! I find that I can use the visor clip to keep the visors "tucked" when not in use.

    "Official" Lexus Trail Team Stickers!

    Hello all, wanted to throw this out there about the stickers: I contacted some members on this forum and I found some information on the designer. As some of you may know, his name was Kevin and unfortunately he passed away about a year ago. I contacted some people who knew him personally and...

    96 new to me triple locked

    This same thing happened to me when I went to purchase my '97 LX450 at 242k. The guy never used the diffs and when I tried to lock the CD, it just kept blinking. Its interesting you are saying you feel it locked. What I did was I went under the vehicle to where the transfer case is and pulled...
