When I got into my brand new ‘08 it had 76 or 78 miles on it and it had the same resonance. I’m not saying that it isn’t the harmonic balancer but it probably isn’t shot bushings. FYI, when I sold it last year it had the same hum. 213,000 miles.

The bidding is up to $9,500 with 5 hrs left. https://www.copart.com/lot/43998104/salvage-2010-lexus-lx-570-or-portland-north

I was in full hard brake mode, before the wheel flung off. 20 mph max.

When the wheel came off, I was on the shoulder in the grass. You will need to replace the front wheel studs, and then you should be up and running. The front wheel and tire should be in the back of the rig; that is where I left it...

All of this work was done in 2022.

I have the extra key and manual for the new owner!

I rejoined the club yesterday. I sold my 05’ LX about 3 years ago, and holy smokes does it feel good to be back. In love with this thing.

Guess this is my intro post. Found the forum when I started shopping tires (currently thinking either Cooper AT3s like I had on my Tundra, or just going KO2s again) for the '17 a week or two ago, and I'm kinda floored by the amount of data...

That’s my plan - recently bought a 2013 with 53k.

Dont overthink it, just drive it and do the regular maintenance. If the tires are 10 years old, replace them.

I have a 2013 with 120k miles and got a new radiator due to a leak. I also recently changed all the fluids, including power steering, brake, transmission, transfer case, oil (of course). I currently have a small oil leak that Toyota is trying...

I would not bother with anything special than doing the regular maintenance for the miles you have. That means there are no fluid changes (except engine oil) until 60k. See Toyota recommended schedule. Wiper's rubber is a regular maintenance...

The OEM Japan made wipers (which you’ll have to order from Toyota) are by far the best wiper blades you can buy. Are you sure you didn’t buy the ones they sell at the dealer? (Which are not the OEM style wiper blades)

They are OEM wipers for 2013, and I got them from Toyota 8522253071. They look exactly the same as the original wipers on the truck. It doesn't look like the design changed from 2013 to 2021. After they wipe you can see on the glass the places...

Air filter, in cabin air filter, oil, oil filter, front and rear diff fluid, transfer case fluid, coolant drain and fill, grease all zerks on drive shafts, grease universal joints, inspect the brakes for any out of place fluid and pad thickness...

Im not sure what makes the t-case fluid special. It only cost $80 to change it at my local Toyota dealer - the same as each of the front and rear differentials.

Were they using the correct fluid? The OEM transfer case fluid is around $180-200 per can (which you’ll need two of).

Yes. It requires 1.5l of Toyota 75W90 GL-5 gear oil. It is only $45/qt retail on Amazon and I am guessing the dealer gets a deal. So maybe $55 for the fluid at full retail.

Oh wow, that has come way down in price. You’re right, it’s way cheaper now. The high price when I did mine must have been because of a supply shortage or something.

Yep - those were indeed painful.

75w-90 GL5 is not the specified transfer case fluid for a 2013, or 14, to keep it on topic to the OP. But some dealers will still use it. The special Toyota sauce for those is a straight 75w and definitely not GL5. And yes it is very expensive...

And, @gocougs if the wiper blades are still in good shape you can put just the inserts into them really cheaply. Note that the dealer will not carry Genuine Toyota blades, even the ones with the Toyota sombrero are made by a third party and not...
