    New LC Differentials

    I just googled LX600 curb weight, and it did drop 440 lbs from the LX570, in part due to the use of an aluminum roof. So you nailed it!

    Running 12V fridge/etc

    Thanks Lenny for posting the owners manual & Sandroad for explaining the 12v battery and hybrid battery charging logic. Pages 511 - 518 cover the use of the 120V AC outlet. They use examples of a toaster, electric grill and external lights so they clearly intended for this to be used. It's...

    Running 12V fridge/etc

    Lots of pro/cons being discussed. The much higher fuel mileage is a plus compared to my 60/80/200. The “potential” to tap into the hybrid battery is intriguing. Interested to see what we all learn in the future.

    Running 12V fridge/etc

    Lots of great posts on here so far with insights/comments/specs on the new LC250/LX550/4R. One topic I haven't seen discussed is whether the hybrid battery can be used for anything besides running the hybrid motor. Since the LC250 comes stock with a good sized "second" battery, how does that...

    New Michelin AT tire?

    Interesting thread. Especially the advocacy from @Pskhaat for the performance of the Defender LTX, despite the "gooberish" aesthetics. LOL. In the often recommended 275/70 R18 size, the Defender LTX is an E rated LT tire and a 125 load index. It's heavier than the popular Toyo AT3 at 57 vs...

    Weboost Antenna Cable Routing

    Hi all, I have a 2008 LX. I am installing a Weboost Drive Reach OTR. I decided to put the Booster into the bottom of the center console. The included antenna wire isn't long enough to run out the back hatch. Is there a clean way to run the wire to the roof via the door molding? The molding...

    TMPS sensors for second wheels set

    I have both a Subaru and LX with summer and winter tires. I hate the hassle of getting the TPMS sensors reprogrammed twice per year. The Launch tool looks like a great solution. I could swap tires and reprogram TPMS in my garage, on my schedule. However, one of the videos on how the tool works...

    Finding part numbers?

    Finding part numbers?

    Hi all, I am mid-way through base-lining our new to us 2008 LX 570. Brake fluid, PS fluid, diffs, transfer case, rotors & pads, drive-shafts. More to come in the next few weekends. As I go through this process I am finding that there are multiple missing fastners/etc. Nearest lexus dealer...
