I just changed the front and rear diff oil and the transfer case. Lifted the car on 4 ramps, secured the front with jack stands and used one of these tools to pump the oil - it did cut off the spills but it was fairly slow...

Darn, that’s a long and expensive list. The heater Ts were replaced around 30k miles ago. I plan to do diff and transfer fluids, gas filter, grease joints next then tackle front wheel bearings and rotors. I might do the coils and plugs after and wait a bit with the rest of possible maintenance...

Thank you!

@2001LC - how important is to disconnect the wire block first? I’m having a hard time disconnecting it. Thanks

Making some progress with the baseline - I had the dealer replace at around 184500 miles : - steering rack OEM Lexus and TRE (these don’t come with the rack) and flush the steering fluid - brake booster assembly - Slee steel brake lines - OEM radiator - the aftermarket one replaced by the...

Looking forward to meet you guys!

@2001LC - do you know if a new steering rack would automatically mean the dealer would also replace the steering rack bushings or I need to ask for this specifically? Thank you!

Are the 555 after-market outer tie rods just as good as the OEM? Do you recommend a different model?

thank you, I didn't know about these guys, I'll check them out

Hi, were you able to find a good shop for this? Do you know a skilled mechanic in the Iowa City area? I have a 100 series that needs some . Thanks

I would assume a Gsquared or jsut Any version of a 550 with portals would be a better choice (except for cost) - proven platform, good dealer network, much better clearance etc.

I think all the issues tied to the 2023 and 24 models will prevent it from taking off. The truck has a lot of electrical issues, water leaks and all sort of annoyances and combined with a very dealer network it might turn off a lot of buyers.

@gocougs - I shared my thoughts in this post. Please try to drive the IG on the road too, it might not be the perfect truck for you. If you spend some time on the Ineos forum you will see there are a fair amount of bugs with this first year batch. Less impressed after the test -...
