    97 LX450 windshield weatherstrip

    I'm glad to see this thread today. I have this and an even bigger problem: When I moved to Maryland about 7 years ago, I had to get the glass replaced to pass the state inspection. I had a national auto glass place do the work. Last week I took the truck back to them, to see this (they do...

    My idea of CruiseControl

    This is awesome! Ha from the title I figured that you had integrated a distance ranging lidar sensor into the cruise control...Maybe that is next

    Firestone Air Bag Install

    Just digging up this old post, but just wanted to ask how this system was holding up? I'm considering doing something similar on my LX450.

    Thoughts on this 60?

    Wow, that thing is nice. I think that you should know that most of us here will now be scheming ways to take it off your hands. [emoji48]

    A stock bumper winch install...

    I did most of this work over two years ago, but last week I finally added an access rod to be able to easily let the winch freewheel (previously it was a major pain and required lying on my back to reach the freewheel tab). Anyway, here's the skinny... Goal: Modify the stock bumper to accept a...

    I should have bought something really cool...

    OK, well at least I see that I'm not alone with my woes! :cheers: That being said, I'm surprised no one has asked, "so, since you're not buying that roof rack...you mind telling me where you saw that?" :hhmm: And sorry for this not being on tech stuff, but maybe this should be added to the...

    I should have bought something really cool...

    So, instead of buying a sweet used Slee roof rack that I saw on sale, I spent money I didn't have at the DMV. :mad: $758 just bought me (re)titles and tags for two years on 1 SUV (LX450), one 5yo motorcycle, and one 20yo small trailer. Welcome to the state of Maryland (coming from VA)...

    Saw a 2011 Hilux in Virginia today

    I'm driving my LX450 today in Blacksburg, VA today and I pull up beside a newish 4x4 Toyota pickup. I glanced over and thought, "Oh, I guess they updated the Taco...wait, that's not a Taco!" :eek: It said 2.7L Hilux on the side. 4 door cab. Short bed with a sporty looking aluminum utility...

    Doh moment in new to me 80

    As having recently installed a second car seat in my LX (have a 1 wk old !), I'd like to just add a couple things: I have a convertible, front-facing seat behind me for my 32 month-old. I use some cut-up pool noodle (as suggested earlier) under part of the base for positioning the base better...

    Clutch problem....... I think?????????

    x2 on this, except mine was the master. My 55 had this happen. I avoided fixing it for years because I found that if the pedal was ever-so-slightly above the floor, it didn't leak down.

    SWAP A442F to H151F Trans

    Otka (or Tapage), I've got most of the parts to do this swap but I'm missing a few things (mostly time...but I don't think anyone can help me there...). Would you happen to know the part numbers (or alternative sources) for these parts?: -Throwout bearing -Pilot bearing/bushing (I assume...
