Even if I wasn’t a CA resident, I’d go OEM all the way. But then it’s a math problem around value. If you can wait, see if USA Toyota does another super parts promo this year. I literally refreshed my exhaust system from headers to exhaust...

A blast from the past. Thanks for bumping up a thread I unintentionally abandoned. Lo siento. The black non-triple-locked LX450 you see above got totaled rather unceremoniously somewhere near Manhattan Beach just after I had gotten it detailed...

I didn't need to add any shims on the front, the OEM shim was spot on. I did have to add some to the rear. I didn't have to grind on the housing, and did add the lockers at the same time I re-geared. The location of the ring gear will move...

Well I got a little further on the road to being on the road. I started off by removing the front end components to get a good cleaning done. The previous owner thought a good wash after going off road is not necessary. The whole car was covered...

Ordered 3/23 and got a call from them confirming payment info and tentative ship date of 7/6. So they are getting there. I’m ready for this deal to happen again as there were many parts I forgot to order last go-round.
