Awesome, thanks guys! Do you think this is a Lexus dealership issue or something any decent mechanic can handle?

Tommy, thanks. This pic is from the passenger side but that paper clip looking thing is missing on the drivers side

Guys, I have a 2013 LX570 with about 140k miles and there is a clicking noise coming from what sounds like the front driver's wheel. It's rhythmic, so seems like it makes the click every time the wheel goes around. You hear it more pronounced when driving past a wall, like at the bank...

Yea I used the emergency brake to slow us down, as well. Anyone know what all is involved to replace all the brake lines? I bought this as a beater to haul stuff around, just wasn’t expecting a full brake failure. Has anyone replaced the brake lines? Ballpark cost? Thanks guys!

Last week I was driving home from the movies with my kids. ‘99 LX with 185k, spent most of its life in the DC area. In the parking lot of the movies someone backed out in front of me so slammed the brakes at maybe 6mph. No big deal. A half mile later driving home put my foot on the brake, sank...

Perfect, thank you. Keep me posted.

Is the rear bumper reinforcement piece available?

Thanks. I talked to H&H and they’re almost finished having mine rebuilt or I’d be all over it, but let think what other parts I need. @dvanecek feel free to grab the tranny and I’m actually headed your way tomorrow for spring break with the fam at IoP.

Thanks and yes, I may still need it. It’s at H&H in Charlotte right now so I need to see how far Dean has gotten with it. Is it just the tranny or also the t-case? How’s the output shaft? Lastly, how much? Thanks! - Will

My 210k mile transmission in my ‘89 FJ62 went out on me. Anyone have either a low mileage or rebuilt one available for sale? Located in North Carolina. Just need something reliable that’s not going to go out on me in a year or two. Thanks!

So took it the local shop that specializes in Cruisers and they pulled, cleaned, and put new gaskets in the valve body. So reverse is back, thankfully. It drove fine Wednesday night on the way home from the shop but since then it won’t shift past second. Goes from first to second fine but won’t...

Thanks guys. Will take it to the shop and get them to check everything out. If I do stick with the auto and get a used one, which of these would be best? The top one with fewer miles but no transfer case or the one below it for $250 more?

Thanks Escape. At 210k it may be time for a new or used rebuilt tranny. When I first got the truck about two years ago the transmission would overheat a lot so I added a supplemental cooler but the damage could’ve already been done. Wonder what putting a new tranny costs these days?

So checked the fluid, was a little low, so kept adding, driving, adding, still no reverse. Any ideas other than ATF fluid level? Kind of dead isn’t water with it. Thanks guys

How much ATF should this thing take? I know the manual says 6L if you just drain the pan and like 16L from completely dry, but I’m somewhere in between. Thoughts?
