    EFI Relay Bypass Kit (Immobilizer Fix) for UZJ100/LX470

    Nearly 5 years later on my sons kit and all is well. Thank you again for engineering a well priced item that solves a big problem! With 2 kids in college fixes like this help out a lot.

    Complete Transmission Flush DIY - VIDEO

    I shot the pan and then shot the fluid…2 degrees difference. I’ve done this with multiple Lexus vehicles and no issues. To each their own.

    Complete Transmission Flush DIY - VIDEO

    In regards to taking the temp, just use a heat gun and shoot the bottom of the pan, it will be within a couple degrees of the fluid.

    2017 Lexus LX570 ATF Replacement

    Not enough suction I bet to get much out. The transmission is really a big pump, let it do the work for you. I can do a full flush on one of these in 20-30 minutes now that I’ve done it a couple times.

    Brakes upgrade question, flame away

    Slightly off topic but I’m thinking you all might be the right folks to ask. Wife has a 2016 570, factory pads and they squeal all the time in parking lots and at low speeds, plenty of life left. I’m looking at going Akebono pads and OEM rotors. Don’t need anything crazy as she does not off...

    Deep Humming Sound

    I did not, I’m very lucky as I only live an hour or so from OTRAMM, one day I’ll get it up there and have him look. It’s not horrible or even bad, so I haven’t messed with it. Has not gotten worse.

    Replacing AC system?

    So after driving my 04 Tundra for more than 20 minutes I get the AC blinking light. From what I can tell the famous MAG Clutch Relay easy fix is not applicable to my year of truck as from what I can tell as it is built into my compressor, please correct me if I am wrong because when I look in...

    Post your high-mileage 100-series!!!

    I have not had a car payment since my late 20s. Everyone tried to tell me how great the write off is on buying new equipment on my business. For me to spend a dollar to get 30 cents or so back on my taxes…ummm that math doesn’t work. I’ll keep the 70 and give the 30 to Uncle Sam. I think a...

    Any leads on new carpet

    So after you got me thinking….I’m wondering if the access cab carpet would be enough just to get me to where the rear seat starts? That would be enough coverage to get rid of all the disgusting carpet in the truck…does that make sense? In essence where people’s feat rest in the back would have...

    Any leads on new carpet

    Unfortunately all of the online vendors only do the access cab. Under 500 bucks for this ole farm truck is what I’m willing to spend. I’m sure Toyota wants over a grand…?
