I run ETC power all the time on my 13 LX with 33s and a sensor lift. Feel like it just shifts at better spots. I’ve not noticed the heat issue but I really only tow my 2 waverunners on their trailer and not for more than 90 minutes at a time. I’ll have to pay more attention and run the torque...

I applied JB Weld in this way with a fiberglass mat and it has been great for 40k miles. Zero evidence crack has expanded and zero leaks. Crossed over 150k miles and starting to put together my list of parts to replace while also replacing radiator. But that will be another post.

That looks like the old design to me. I think the new design softened those hard edges on the bottom corners which is where the weak spots are.

What area are you located in. I'm putting my 98 LC up for sale soon in Madison WI. No rust(truck is treated and Madison doesn't use salt). Newer tires. Rebuilt brake booster. Have seat covers for front seats about to go in. I can pm you details if your nearby.

I think the bumper options for the lx will be plentiful in the future. There are just more LXs out there to buy used and they are generally cheaper than a LC. I love our 13 LX and would choose it over an LC everytime. I especially like the pre 2016s without the predator face grill. Only time...

Yea if you can find one with surface rust and no rot some good ole fashioned elbow grease can make a big difference. Good luck with it!

Man I live in Wisconsin and my 98 with 335k is basically rust free underneath. Little bit of prevention goes a long way. Madison not using salt on almost any of the roads helps too.

That's a good question about noise. I'm trying to think of I've been on the Beltline with it since I put it on. Everything I read on them said noise was not an issue. I'll go up there and run it in the next day or two to confirm no noise. I wanted the bigger tires for playing around in the...

It's from victory 4 x 4 which is located in Michigan. They had a sale (still do i think) right around tax season. Finally got to put it on last week. Went pretty smooth. Seems really solid.

275/60/20 Wildpeak AT3(Discount Tire) with 1 inch spacers. Had a bit of rubbing on mud flap but some trimming of the inside of that cured that quickly. I think 3/4 inch doscers probably would have stopped that from happening. Also a slight sensor lift. Love the look. I was still living in...

Sharp looking! Look even better with some bigger tires and spacers. I added a roof rack to ours this week. And I think I talked the wife into bumbers and sliders.

We have a 2013 LX that I've put some bigger tires on along with spacers and done a sensor lift and I'm putting on a victory 4 x 4 roof rack tomorrow. We love it. Get an extra few inches of height when needed which is not often. The bigger tires and spacers really make it look great and add...

19th thru 21st is probably only one I could make work but my daughter's soccer schedule could ruin that. I'll find that out in the next week or so hopefully.

Sounds pretty awesome. I'd love to do a 2 or 3 day trip in August. I'm putting this on my list.

You can buy just the ball joints. Maybe not from Toyota directly but you can buy them. It's been 2 years since I did mine so I can't recall where I got mine from.
