What kind of testing are they doing? I am wondering if they are considering screen or camera upgrades?

All, I was able to get it installed in our 2014 LX570. My time was 1:35 min and then another 10 for setup. So far so good. Made two outgoing calls. The only complaint is switching between two iPhone users. My only difficulty installing was making the harness fit behind the lower radio section...

Great info here and a great solution for an anniversary gift for my wife!

Awesome video man. looking at doing the same thing

I think so as well. Any thoughts on a plasma cutter or cutting torch if one is better than the other for this type of work?

here is my replacement frame section that i purchased.

Great points pb4ugo. I have a front cross member piece but I should get a new one. You have the link handy for the person selling a whole one?

I just now finished read it all. Was that you? anyhow next step is to watch that video.

yes heating the rivets and some how installing them is going to be the trick… maybe SOR know how. Also i see you mentioned a cutting torch, has anyone tried using plasma cutter for a finer cut or a large cutting wheel on a grinder? I also have to move the rear cross member to accomodate a 5...

I do not have any idea of where to get rivets, what size as I am sure they are metric and don’t know how to heat and install.

Great suggestions guys. Here is a pic of what I am dealing with.

So I am going to replace a section of the front cross Member that also holds the steering gear box as someone hacked out a section to fit in a Saginaw gear box. I am going to grind out the rivets and replace the section with a used piece. What does anyone recommend using to replace the rivets...

Started the one set of leaf springs today. Lots of grinding. Using a flapper disc works the quickest.

That’s pretty cool stuff. Thanks for the TSC link. I like shopping there.

Thank you for the explanation! I really appreciate that. I had not ever heard of a graphite paint or paint with graphite properties in it. But that totally makes sense.
