I had the Marsflex sensors installed and I could not get them programmed. I went to a local place and they installed them even when they couldn't be hooked up. I then went to Firestone for an alignment. They said they do Amazon sensors all the time. They couldn't hook them up either...

I was going to buy these! However, as @Timujin says above, they don't sell 5. I bought the door handles from them and they were of good quality. A-Premium seems to do a good job. I bought these as I could get 5 and they had good ratings: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D6M95MJ7?tag=ihco-20 (If...

I had a buddy do it for me. His programmer would not do connect to the Bosch sensors so I sent them back.

My 2010 GX has 176k and no leaks of any kind. Zip. It has had 7 owners (including me) and all maintenance has been done at Lexus (until I bought it). It's a modern miracle.

Thanks for the help, guys. I bought some Bosch TPMS sensors.

I have been driving for about 2 years on dead tire pressure sensors. It is time to fix the system. (yes, they are dead. My indicator blinks 10 times on startup.) 1. What kind are you guys buying? I have gotten them off ebay for my Miata and they worked fine. 2. Do I have to get one for the...

So last week I had the AC Freon checked and filled. It was low. Cost $90 at the local shop. So far so good.

Yes. I did the front and it worked.

Just to document this, I did the above (I reread the thread and missed the specifics of the test. Idiot). Since I shut off the truck and turned it back on, it must have cleared the "code". I get a 00. So next time it happens I will be ready. Also, I used an OBD scanner and found no codes...

OK, so I found the thread that discuss this, but a few questions first. (I was driving and did a u turn. The air got warmer after 10 seconds. I noticed the light flashing. I stopped and shut off the truck. Turned it back on and the light was gone and the AC was working fine. Reboot!) The...

Hey! Good question! Sorry, but I sold the vehicle (240k). I replaced both seat bottoms and they looked great to the day I sold it. I do believe that the buyer bought it because of the seats. He kept saying, "These are nice! My mom will love them." I would do it again. Good quality.

Agreed! It seems crazy but ETrailer, whom I respect, says its ok. Weird.

I have a bike rack that hung on the back of our GX470 and carried 2 bikes. The top straps would fit under the "spoiler" on the back and strap to the top of the rear barn door. So I tried using the same rack on my GX460 and since there is no space under the "spoiler" for the straps, I would...

Woops

A fender apron is the rubbery thing that is up in the front wheel well. It keeps dirt and grime off the engine. Of course I could pay $35 + shipping for one but I assume that some of us have a home made way to replace them. What material have you guys used to fashion one of these...
