It was pretty much the equivalent of “Bobs Car Parts”. Not a dealer.

Whoops, sorry for bringing this back from the dead to reply. This was sold by a third party seller but shipped/fulfilled by Amazon.

Hey Bunga, you make a good point. I don’t have any proof it’s fake. But as bloc points out, unless the source is trusted you really don’t know if it’s genuine. There’s no one thing that screams knockoff but the combined errors (engine family, mixing up V6/V8; grammatical and spelling issues...

Due to my lack of planning/foresight I needed oil filters quickly (and was hoping to avoid a trip to the dealer, it’s tough with two little kids!) and in the process of Amazon Prime-ing I was shipped some counterfeit YZZA4 filters. Just wanted to do a PSA - make sure you purchase from a dealer...

Driver’s door actuator went out on me at 154k - overall fairly straightforward, took me about two hours going at a leisurely pace. Wanted to add when trying to thread the outer rod back into the assembly, having a small flashlight sitting on the foam helped me see what I was trying to do. Huge...

Collective thanks to everyone for the info, looking to tackle this over the weekend on my new to me 09 with 155k on the clock. Can anyone give me an idea on the Exhaust Manifold removal PDF, approximately which steps need to be completed to access the midpipe? I’m assuming it’s primarily the...

@electro992 When you were doing the conversion, do you by chance have pictures of the LX bracket modifications needed? I’m looking at the fitment of the RX projector and it looks like one upper corner of the projector frame hits the LX bracket, impeding AFS, and the bixenon solenoid is also...

I saw it was gone but it looks like it’s back now. Someone probably had it on hold.

Looks like it sold yesterday or today.

Yup! I stopped by yesterday and they told me it’s not ready for viewing yet. Pics are up on Autotrader now. Not much I can see except that there’s a small tear on the driver seat. Edit: Would definitely appreciate your opinion if you go see it. Thanks!

Awesome, thanks for the feedback. Have done spring/shock swap before on another vehicle but I’m definitely a one banana experience kind of guy. Sounds like I have some learning to do but not impossible to DIY. Thanks!

Cool, thanks guys. Couple of follow up questions - 1. So a blown or leaking “shock” doesn’t necessarily mean the accumulators are bad? 2. If I put the truck in “H” would I be able to see any potential leaks? I saw in an old thread someone mentioned a shroud or cover.

Hey all, lurker here that finally built up the courage to ask a question. I've been on the lookout for a 200 series and a 09 LX popped up locally. Regular maintenance looks pretty spotty but it does show that the radiator and cam tower issues have been taken care of at 140k (currently about...
