Beige leather third row seats from a 2005 LX470. Very good condition. Free to whomever can come pick them up in South Jordan, Utah.

New shoes.

Receiver tube welded on to the arm itself.

Test fitted the rack. Haven't pulled the trigger. The Kuat rack is far lighter than it looks. It specs out at 32 lbs. Figure 2 bikes weighing 30 lbs each. The height of the bikes is initially a bit shocking, but I'm not convinced it's a problem. The guy at the rack store thought the whole...

I've done exactly that with the BIOR plastic contact plate--as you described, it eliminated the clunk I was getting.

Yep. These are my concerns. I don't think (recognizing the absence of quantitative analysis here) that there is any risk of failure with any reasonable static load on a closed and latched swing arm--it's all transferred to the bumper. It's the resulting load that results from rattling down...

Sorry for the late reply; haven't been on MUD much these days. The antenna cord is Wilson brand. Find it on their website. What wire tie are you referring to?

What are folks thoughts on the effective load capacity of a the typical bumper mounted spare tire arm? I'm considering using Gamiviti's spate tire hitch receiver and a drop to mount a bike rack to my BIOR spare tire arm. This would be the swing arm, the spare tire (16" alu rim and 295/75r16...

3/4" spacer up front.

Those are Bump It Off Road sliders.

Scored a set of 18" 200-series wheels and mounted a set of Goodyear Ultra Grip Ice WRT LT's in a 275/70/18 size. Finally got a little snow around here, with genuinely slick and icy roads this morning. I am suitably impressed with the difference in ice and snow traction compared to the Toyo AT2's.

Not much to report. Ran PSM and Metal Masher at Cruise Moab right after the rebuild. Everything performed well. Pretty much been asphalt bound since. Everything is working great, no signs of leaking. I'll probably have all 4 shocks serviced sometime late winter/early spring.

Looking for a set (4 or 5) of 18" LX470 or UZJ100 wheels. I'm in Utah, and not interested in paying shipping. PM or message me here. Ryan

My local Lexus dealer installed the SuperPro bushings, with the total cost coming to ~$500. It took them a full day to do it, and they described it as a pain in the a$$, mostly trying to get the sleeve out of the rack. They were happy with the result however, as am I. The wild tourque steer...

I've decided to pay my dealer to replace the bushings in my existing rack with SuperPro poly bushings. I will follow up once the work is done.
