Thanks everybody! It sounds like you’re suggesting that any of the aftermarket racks much do the job for me. That’s what I need to know!

I just picked up very heavily discounted hardshell tent from REI — the Smrt Tent Summit Suite 2.0. It’s kinda big — 84.5” x 60” x 6.3” — and weighs in at 160lbs. Can anyone advise me on a roof rack that will safely mount this tent to my 2000 LX470? What will I need to mount, beyond the rack...

My 2000 LX doesn’t have the running board lights but I do believe the plugs are there for them, if you were to want to add the kit. Look for a plug dangling near the front of your running boards. Obviously it won’t be connected to anything, just a loose end of a plug.

Thanks, I guess I’ll be looking at other options. That’s unacceptable. I know the price is reasonably cheap but installation cost is still quite high. I would be very upset if I had all three rows fitted with new leather only for that to happen after a couple years.

Is this Lseat???

I just put my cruiser on the auto train a week ago. It was all loaded up, with an axe and a shovel on the roof, along with other items, and they didn’t ask any questions. The only trouble you guys might hit is the 85 inch height restriction.

Thanks everybody!

Hi all, I’ve got an ‘01 LX here in sunny FL that I run on mud tires — specifically, 285/75/16 Maxis Razr MTs. I have a trip planned in two weeks to DC for a family wedding. I’m concerned I may find myself driving along snowy roads, which I understand is NOT ideal on mud tires. I can’t spend...

Guys, please tell me why my 10mm bolts are just spinning in place. My spoiler was snapped off and I want to remove the brackets. But the 10mm bolts holding it in wont come out! Any ideas?

I have this same rust spot. Mine is worse than OP, but still not that big of a deal. Gonna treat, along with the rest of my rusty spots, asap. Evidently a common spot, maybe it should be added to FAQ or the slee guide.
