Ok. Will have him check those and replace.

That’s what the mechanic in Mexico said about the struts…when they leak replace and his homemade bushing would last forever. I have already done a complete flush of the AHC system and adjusted pressures etc (I got tech stream shortly after joining this forum). I will order upper and lower...

I purchased a 2000 lx470 with 240k miles last year. It was a mall princess, garage kept and I don’t believe it had ever touched dirt. Spent its entire life in California so no rust. We keep it at our home in Baja. It’s a 10 mile rutted, sandy, washboard road from our home to the highway so the...

I just removed th roof rack on our 2000 lx470. I plan to use 80/20 for better cross bars. The feet and side rail bars are scratched and I plan to paint them black before re-installing. Not surprisingly the pads that the feet rest on are disintegrating (1st photo). I want to get new (or good...

I have the opposite issue as you. My caps are fine but the “gaskets” or “pads” that the sits between the roof rack towers and the roof are broken/brittle and I need to replace them. I looked on partsouq like mentioned above but I can’t seem to find any diagrams that show the roof rack or this...

Oh! You are right…not sure what I was thinking or looking at before 😬

Thanks for the help with this. I have looked into spacers and the airlift 1000 airbag (for when I tow). It seems that the spacers sit on top of the existing springs and so I am wondering how one routes the inflation hose for the airbags as they exit the top of the airbag and are usually routed...

Another question came up… I am looking at all the different ways to attach the crossbars to the factory rack side bars (eg. gussets, L brackets etc) and wondered if anyone had used anchor fasteners?They claim they are very strong and would make moving crossbars easier. They also won’t get in the...

Just got a 2000 lx470 with 240k miles. Seems to be in good shape and never taken off road. I took it in to get it checked out and they tell me the ABS module is leaking. I have not had any lights come on or the dreaded buzzer I have read about on the forum. The breaks seem to work fine but there...

Thanks. Any particular spacers you would recommend?

I have a 2000 lx470 with 240k miles and functioning AHC. My rear pressure is a bit high. Should I just get spacers (30mm?) or should I replace coils with LC coils. I have heard LC coils are firmer than lx470 coils. Or should I get new coils and spacers? Also planning to put in airlift 1000...

I considered the Gamiviti towers but unless those towers will work with the existing 4 towers I will have to buy 6 which is more $ than I am spending on the 8020. I am trying to keep costa down.

Roof rack center feet (brackets)? Need both. Shipped to 94610.

Great thread! I am going to use 8020 for my rack as well. I have a couple of remaining questions before I order from Tnutz: 1) what counterbores are people getting on the cross bars? It seems like these can likely all be drilled later as needed but I don’t have an objection to getting them...

I am getting this all set up and so far so good. I havent plugged into vehicle yet but it is saying that I should update the software and that my version (12.20.024) became obsolete in 2018. Should I go ahead and press the update now button?
