Yeah, I have a rust spot on my cornea from doing that (with a similar pair of eyeglasses) from a piece of slag that embedded itself in my eyeball for a few days until I went to the eye doctor. "Damn, why is my eye bothering me?"

Anybody know what the offset is on these wheels? Looks like they would need spacers to run on a Hundy, though I could be wrong.

The AHC system is having to compensate for the loss of spring capacity that happens over time, and the harshness that you feel in "Sport" is likely related (though there may be other causes, like fatigued globes, as well). It's likely that you can mitigate these symptoms with a few turns of...

There are a lot of parts that can be replaced ;) . Shock upper and lower bushings, upper and lower control arm bushings, sway bar bushings, ball joints, tie rod ends etc. You'll also want a snap ring kit (with the different sizes), I think. I fired up the parts cannon and bought new UCAs and...

Best US "online" prices right now are at Ourisman, at least as of a few days ago. They also beat the $200-off-retail price listed above.

Yep, that's Every. Single. Pulled. Radiator that I see pics of. Kind of explains the "you should get a [insert Brand X radiator here], they run so much cooler!" posts. My advice for anyone changing the rad is to flush the AC evap coil from behind while you have the opportunity. :D

@lx470mg , I am relieved that you're leaning towards using a better tool for the job. While it's good to get your AHC dialed in, no add-on is going to help you navigate the legality of exceeding GVMR.

I have an old radiator that I swapped out last year (leaned up against the side of my garage, ha) that has those fittings, I can check for you tonight if you'd like. Feel free to PM me.

One long piece, and if I remember correctly some of it is over the fuel tank and runs along the frame . It's challenging to put into position. Thread: Brake Tubes and fuel lines 2000 Lexus LX 470

Check the swaybar links at the ends of the bar, the bushings in those usually fail before the frame bushings. Thread: When & how to replace stabilizer bar, bushings, cushions & links (AKA sway bar)

That's call an "overpressure event" and is meant to protect the AHC system -- when the AHC pressure gets too high, it drops itself into LOW position. It's not an unusual occurrence for these vehicles at this age, as the original springs gradually lose an increasing amount of load capacity over...

You'll want to check AHC pressures *with the trailer attached* IMO, as you may find that you need stiffer springs AND a set of airbags, front torsion bar adjustments, etc. I'm assuming that the trailer has brakes. Use the best brake controller that you can. Consider a larger transmission...

I've been meaning to add it to the pile of factory parts! 🤑

Replace the ENTIRE brake line. Some tech has spliced in new sections of line by using compression fittings, like the kind that you buy in a hardware store; replace that section (under your fuel tank, for some reason) as well please! I've seen this before, my friend, and they aren't built to...

Easy to replace. I would do it. My recommendation is to swab the tee/hose with rubbing alcohol as an assembly aid, just before inserting into the hose.
