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...

Took the truck to our local Lexus dealer (had good experiences there before). They did an inspection as I think you can watch below. The brake job I will do but I am having them put the switch on (it is pictured in the video and above this post as just the part). He says they might be rusted...

So I went outside and popped off the gear selector surround. Pretty dusty down there. I jiggled a few things and snapped it back. Now all the correct lights come on and it shifts normally. Will keep you informed. What is weird is the mushy resistance in the shift lever. I pictured some...

Ouch. I have this problem now. Same symptoms as OP: My googling does not indicate anyone fixing it. I reset the code and it came back. Truck drives normal and shifts like it always has: 167,000 miles. Any help?

I drove it in a 2003 Chevy Venture van with 3 kids in the back and a hitch haul. Plenty of gas and lots of fun!

Ouch. I bought one from there and it worked. Well, it was for the GX470 that I had. As for the Ram truck, these are very generic. I replaced one in my Scion FRS and it looked identical. As I recall the one you want should have some little balancers on some of the tines (?). I could see it...

There are some for that year on ebay. But please check. This is quick google foo...

I bought a 2010 with a bad screen. I looked into fixing it myself but the dealer did it for me. It didn't look too tough. I believe they are on ebay. Something like this...

Bingo! I am not alone in my misery.

In the drivers side rear wheel well there is a partial fender liner that is rattling. I stuffed some cardboard between the fender and the liner and now it doesn't rattle. Anyone else have this? The clips seem ok, but they are really loose. They also have no visible way to remove them. I am...

When you start up, does it blink around 10 times? That means that the sensors are bad.
