Just to confirm OP you are in the wrong place for AHC springs :) The AHC springs are not the same size as normal LC rear springs and certainly not the same deflection. If you installed them the AHC would not work as dampening and you would bounce around all over the place. I recently replaced...

Thanks for this mate. It's possible that I am now experiencing normal behaviour for the first time :) Thanks for your comments. Funny you should mention this - when I asked the workshop guys why the AUTO function was playing up they took it back into the shop and gave the themometer a good...

Hi all, A few months ago while in the outback here in Oz the AC drain on my LX clogged up and I had full on water leaking in the passenger footwell. There's plenty of literature on this here on ih8mud. I opened up the evaporator tray to get the water out and clean it, but ultimately the drain...

Just found this thread mate and wanted to confirm that my '99 LX (Aussie delivered) is the same as yours. Small little filter area that won't fit the part. I asked Lexus what the cabin filter part was and they said there isn't one for this vehicle. I confirmed with one of the technicians that...

Excellent, thanks to clarifying there mate. That all makes sense. I do think the rear coils need replacement as I'm occasionally bottoming out (at least, I feel like it) when going over speed humps. I've also got the drawers back there so a couple hundred pounds/kilos depending on what I'm...

More like a significant caked-on build-up all over the assembly. Which would indicate long term minor leaking is my guess. I haven't witnessed any drips and didn't seem fresh when I looked at it. The other shocks are minor but the drivers front is the worst (per above description).

You've correctly spotted me as being in Aus! With the pressure gauge approach, how you you adjust the computer to set the correct pressure without a techstream? Do you happen to know a connector or piece of kit which will allow interface with the older models? Cheers mate, you've been a big help.

Thanks for this mate and the rest of your post! Very insightful. I have done a bit of reading on the other threads so broadly familiar. I haven't checked the pressures yet though because I haven't been able to find a connector for my old rig. The 98 and 99 models don't have the tech stream 2...

Hi everyone So I have a 99 LX wirh around 210k on the clock. It hasn't been off-road much and is in pretty great condition overall. Of course the suspension on these things is meant to drop out (no pun) around this time, and a lot of people seem to preemptively replace with aftermarket...

Thanks for that idea mate. So quick update just to close out the thead. I decided leaving the blower on would be a dumb idea - too difficult, too much battery draw, and too damn noisy as well! The battery operated work fan turned out awesome. I didn't get the ryobi - it only has two speed...

Willing to do this but don't know where to begin. How in depth would I need to get into electrical diagrams? My next question would be what the amp hours drainage would be :) But I'm looking to get a second battery in anyway. Can you provide a bit more info on how to do this? What LiON...

Evening gents, A quick question. I'm using my LX470 as a camper when I do overnight trips. I have a bed in the back on top of slee drawers. Works a treat. However I am often finding it a bit hot. I leave the windows open a few inches (with mosquito netting) but the interior air still stagnates...

Interesting! Do you think this will work on a '99? Is there any way to check the connection type of the 6-disc and the USA Spec to ensure compatibility? It's a lot of work getting that CD changer out, I would hate for it be for nothing.

Hello everyone, Thank you so much for your input. I was hoping it might be simple enough to pop out the CD-changer and use the existing wiring to hook up a bluetooth device, and select "CD" input using the stock stereo. I guess this cannot be done. I know next to nothing about stereos and what...

Hello everyone, Long time lurker, first time poster. I have a '99 LX470 and am very keen at getting Bluetooth added in. I think I've read every post on adding Bluetooth into the LX470 but everyone seems to be doing it to 2001 onwards. The '98/'99 models, I believe, had a different set up (no...
