I'm sorry to hear that. I've had to deal with head injuries myself. Try to not think too hard. You can regress in your healing. Get lots of rest. One neurologist suggested I take Magnesium Oxide and B2, and I think they helped me. See if your doctor can recommend a neurologist or occupational...

I've done the level check at temperature for a number of transmissions now. It's not difficult. Often the hardest part is waiting for the trans to come up to temp.

Often you can look up the service history here: Service and Maintenance | My Lexus - https://www.lexus.com/My-Lexus/service#service_history If the owner logged in and claimed if you can't, but most don't do it. It shows Lexus dealer services. A lot more detail than carfax. Don't forget to...

When I put new wheels and tires on my 2017 I used Autel TPMs (MK808S-TS). I also got an Autel programmer. One of the screens on my Scangauge III is set to show tire pressures for all five tires, and temperatures for the four on the road. I do five tire rotations on this vehicle. Each time I...

I often go full lock or close to it when parking. It took a couple rounds of heat molding the liners to get my 265/70R17s to not rub near full lock.

Did someone already try putting a filter in the trans fluid cooling circuit?

That sounds like bull**** and a way to tack $80 on. If it was real they could use a battery charger to maintain charge to the car while changing the battery.

I think later in the thread tucsonlx said it stays put for them. But if it does flop out it will just latch in the normal upright position. I'd be more concerned that it hits the body work somewhere and rubs the paint but it looks like it doesn't. If it is a problem I can always make additional...

This is the post I was looking for: GX460 Bike Rack Options - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/gx460-bike-rack-options.1242699/#post-13678583 Looks like a single rack folds up to let the back door open. Not an official position but that's ok.

I can't find it now but someone here posted a pic of a single bike one-up rack folded up and it looked like the rear hatch could be opened. Is that right and which of their racks? Does it interfere with the parking sensors? My two bike Thule sticks out way too far and has to be folded down in...

The X2 is a pricey bit of kit for sure. Replacing lead/acid batteries more often is likely more cost effective. But I'd rather put something in and forget about it for a while. And the X2's extra capacity might come in handy at some point. While a used GX is a deal compared to a 4runner, it's...

I have had one for a year and a half. It's been fine. I did install a mod to the charging circuit to boost the voltage to what an AGM needs to fully charge. The different chemistry requires about .5v more.

There's a chart out there that has extended and compressed lengths for various shocks for the 150 platform. I think it's Aussie. I can't find it now but I think I originally found the link on this site.

It there's air in the system the pedal will be soft and will travel farther, but the braking level will remain consistent. A sinking pedal would be a bad master cylinder. Or maybe a slave cylinder that's leaking, but you'd see fluid leaking from it. The master can fail such that fluid does not...

Doesn't Hamilton also have a Carplay only device that doesn't replace the screen or buttons, just adds Carplay to the existing unit?
