Hi friends! Popping in here to update my LX450 diary for anyone interested hah. After my husband finished the head gasket, we got some White Knuckle sliders and I took over with the interior and build. We came upon a little of free cash and wanted to put it into making the truck more...

This was my reasoning exactly - if we’re getting into the weeds to put in lockers, we might as well re-gear now if we know we will eventually go up on the tire size, which I think will give us more confidence on tricky stuff and a smoother ride in the desert. I totally agree with the sentiment...

Gah - to add insult to injury the “rubbing” noise got better when I got the nut and bearing on but got a lot worse throughout the day today and now is a loud grinding that happens every time I decelerate. Thinking maybe the wheel bearing on the passenger side has gone, trying to get home...
