about a month ago had some rats partying under the hood of my LX470. They went straight for the knock sensors. Didn't even know I had a problem until I dropped my son off at daycare and had an unexpected check engine light come on on the way home.
Both knock sensors had been chewed on, and...
As someone who has spent alot of time working on AHC over the last couple of years for various forum members and myself...I'd be weary of trying to use any of the existing AHC components that were not capped or sealed off.
Do you know why the PO removed the system? That'll really help determine...
I decided to install some Auxbeam driving lights and an Auxbeam switch panel. I've always run SwitchPro's and chose this option after positive feedback from others for the price. I'm anxious to see how it performs. The quality of the SwitchPros is still hard to beat compared to this so far. I'd...
I just replaced mine this week. Some people say not to remove the ignition module off the back of the assembly, but I had to remove mine so I could get the broken piece indexed properly to remove it. I wasted an hour trying to do it without removing the ignition module. The most difficult part...

I just updated the post to try and provide a reference...
I finally got around to finishing up my rear door cards and re-upholstery after ambient temps went up a little here. I think they turned out very well. And I'm anxious to see how the waterproof door card material holds up over the years. It was interesting to see how Toyota assembled them at the...
Applying a little bit of heat with a heat gun while removing the material where it is glued to the door cards will help prevent any material separation or tears while removing it from the old door cards. Not a guarantee, but it'll help.
I am paying attention and I've already reached out to see if he's willing to sell the CAD files. After doing a bunch of leg work for him over about a week to work out a trade, he completely flaked. So, that's why I'm making my own now. But, thanks for assuming I haven't. If you want me to put...
