Got done replacing all four ball joints last weekend. All of them were sloppy, one had serious play in it (upper passenger side). A clicking sound on full turn has been remedied. Outside of that, I don't really feel a difference. I think it feels more tight in turns but more likely, it's all in...

Just another option. To inspect the starter you can use a cheap borescope camera. Might give you some data before replacing the starter. Or investing time to just get to the starter. The separate chip is only in my (spare) eBay key. The OEM key has everything in one unit (the remote).

I have chased electric gremlins in my cars before. Thankfully, never really had to do that with the LX much. So these are just random things to look out for (not related to the platform specifically). - What is on your keychain? any magnets, any other door key chips. e.g a gym key that you touch...

I'm running the BT45-TOY as well in my 2002 LX 470. It connects into the head unit using the stock connectors. Just snapped a couple connectors open and snapped them in the new wiring provided. The wiring provided with the BT unit wasn't poor quality to my eyes. I really doubt it has anything to...

Great looking 100!! @Cruisingforbooze

So, while I was redoing my wheels a couple of weeks back. I noticed that 3 of my 4 ball joints are busted and the sway bar end link cushions looked shot as well. Placed an order at Cruiser Teq | Powered by Cruiser Outfitters - https://cruiserteq.com/, and this is what I have so far. Even though...

I have not put any considerable millage on these tires. With that said, so far they have been pretty good. They are slightly louder then highway tires, I'm sure that's common for all AT tires. I got these because they had the 3PMSF (three peak mountain snow symbol) but I haven't used them in any...

Finally refinished the wheels, prepping and compound polishing at the end was a lot of work. But very pleased with the results.

Got around to installing the Ebay snorkel and taking off the protection film off the headlights. Also, If it looks taller it's because of the 285s.

@excessive it's one of the most enjoyable things I've done thus far. Building the platform and fixing the speakers. They're enjoyable activities with huge ROI in terms of satisfaction. FWIW I use a 2inch queen size memory foam topper as the mattress on the platform. Somehow it's more comfortable...

Some lake in VA Blue Ridge Parkway: What's next: - Installing dedicated wires to the back and putting an inverter in. Would love to run a fan and lights while camping. - Roof Rack: 80/20 with Stock Roof Rack - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/80-20-with-stock-roof-rack.1135678/ - Rock...

Sorry for the two year long hiatus. But we back babyyyy. Firstly, this is the first picture I could find of my hundy The day I took off the side steps before: After (also tinted the rear window myself with mixed results) Read a couple threads on here and got to building a sleeping platform:

That's good to hear, I personally think the 2000 transmission issue is a little inflated. I should avoid reading threads on this topic and just enjoy the rig.

Hi All, So more than an year ago the transmission on my 2002 LX 470 (202K miles at the time) gave out. From what I can tell 2002 is not known to be a troublesome year for transmissions. Given the circumstances at the time I went with a used ebay transmission. The catch, I bought a 2000 model...
