Hey everyone - Conclusion: The pinched cooling line was the issue. After fixing this, AT Oil Temp is running perfectly. So far I can't get it above 162, which was doing a hard fast climb up winding mountain hills on a hot day. Daily driving is like 120-135/140 depending on the conditions. I...

Thanks for the info @kreiten ! This thing is a beaut! I'm assuming you ditched AHC for a lift when you went to 35s? Also, which rear bumper setup is this?

@kreiten great setup. Do your 33x12.5s rub on medium or high AHC? I’m looking at the same tire dimensions (but the new Baja boss tires). Thank you!

Wow thanks for the great reply @2001LC ! There are no obvious signs of front end damage but it does make me wonder why it was ever touched in first place. 🤔 I’ll bring both of those items up, thanks again fir sharing. Is that a fan shroud you are referring to? Really appreciate this.

UPDATE: Dropped the LX at Lexus Carlsbad (since I should be able to get this compensated from the original Henderson dealer) and they discovered that this kinked transmission line upon first inspection. More news to come once it it replaced early next week. Fingers crossed 🤞🏼. QUESTION: Do you...

Update: So after 8 days at the highly recommended transmission shop, no news at all. They never called to give me updates. I called them every two days. They only drove it twice and for 15 mins each, not enough to repeat the issue. No codes came up for them. They said it shifts great and it’s...

Thanks for the pics. Very cool setup you have! Wow, this thing is running rediculoualt hot in comparison. Calling first thing tomorrow when they open.

Thanks a lot for the feedback and details. Shoot, this is seeming like the consensus.

Thanks for sharing your baseline. To clarify I have been testing using a laser gun on the oil pan.

AT OIL TEMP ISSUE: LX470 I just purchased a very clean 2005 LX470 from the Lexus dealer in Henderson NV. 105k miles, 1 owner, seems to drive great. I was very excited …. However, there’s an ongoing issue with the AT oil temp. Backstory: I flew to Vegas to purchase. On my first attempt to...

Shot in the dark: Does anyone have a “”Slee AHC override height controller”” they would be willing to sell me? Newbie to ih8mud. Recently purchased an LX470 with 105k miles. Excited! I’m going to use the AHC until it breaks and then upgrade to traditional suspension. I’m aware of the ability...
