The transmission may be called "sealed" but it has a drain and fill plug much like a manual transmission. My dealer suggested flushing mine at 100k and I did since I've done a little boat towing with it.
I went from a 2000 100 to a 2005 GX that I still have. The 100 is built heavier and stronger, but it also weighs more and is not as maneuverable. The engine, awd/4wd system, and atrac are very similar. They both ride well and are quiet. I find the Lexus to be suitable for my needs. It is built...
I went from a 2000 100 LC to the GX. There are many similarities between the two. The engine AWD system ATRAC are all very similar. The GX is smaller and a little lighter and no suspension torsion arms.
Based on my experience, as long as there is a good routine maintenance history, you probably won't need to worry about anything. Skip the extended warranty and save yourself some $. It's just all dealer profit anyways. I leased my 2005 new and ended up buying it. It now has 104k on it. I have...
I received a recall for the airbag control module over the week end. It doesn't say you can't drive it. It says to wait 6 seconds prior to putting in gear and driving after starting to allow the system to reset itself or something along those lines.
I have done suspension swaps on a Jeep Wrangler and Cherokee and based on those experiences, I really didn't care to take on the Lexus. I knew the price was high, but considering my location it's difficult to even find anyone competent to do anything other than factory repairs. Dedicated 4X4...
I went with the 2" Ironman Set up. A local shop did it for me after some hesitancy and charged me $1200 labor. It took them 1 day and 3/4 for the install. They were willing to do it after I told them it's basically a 4 Runner with air springs in the rear. I did not have the time and tools to...
Perhaps, I ordered one and it wasn't the right unit. It appears all years are not the same. I'll check it against the one I already have that didn't fit. My front signals are 1156A LL and that doesn't seem to match what suppliers show as the bulb. I resisted the fronts for leds.
I think I watched a video when I replaced my bulbs. Do a search for rear taillight bulb replacement on google. It's helps to have one of those plastic trim pry bars. Pry straight back after you remove the screws/bolts. It slides out straight back. One snag that I have not figured out for led...
