2nd-ed

Just ordered a set for DS2's! I did a crude miniH1 swap in my old LX and had to sell the car right as Luke was coming out with these in early '17. Now I'm back in the hunt for another LX , so I bought a set since this'll be my first mod.

Hi All, looking for an LX470 again. Just moved to a small apt. complex and a fully enclosed LX will be better for my wife and I for day-to-day activites than a pickup. $5,900 See CL ad for details. Quick Summary: -strong engine, tranny. -new frame w/ toyota dealer documentation -new brake...

Hi there, looking forward to pics. Specifically frame pics to asses rust. Also, can you clarify 'newer shocks'? Was the AHC ditched for a standard setup? Also, has it had it's second timing belt done? Thanks!

Missing my LX! But now two years later, I'm done with my master's, so I'm back in the market!

Hi All, got an '01 Tundra SR5 Access Cab V8 with 4x4 and ABS that's seen better days. The frame is literally brand new, but the rear axle is extremely corroded. I'm looking for a good axle down south, but a lot of the Tundra's I come across are the 4x2 rwd variety. Would that 4x2 rear axle...

CAR IS SOLD. Thank you, all. Glad it's going to stay in the community!

Usterzai, great, let me know!

Excuse my ignorance, but, what is that pump??? Back when I acquired my LX, I ended up having to replace the radiator after it cracked. After reassembly, I had a CEL on for a vacuum leak. It was those two hoses (mine were also cracked a bit like yours) which I forgot to reattach upon...

Uster, I'm by the shore in South-West CT, and mapquest has you at 3h40min to my house. But I could meet you in NY if we can coordinate time. I'm usually in that area on the weekends to see the significant other, so I could bring the car down and save you an hour or so!

Wallet emergency key! :) Would love to make room before Thanksgiving and Holiday craziness...

Front and Rear Diff's just got 80w90 Mobil 1. Transfer case got 75w90 Mobil 1. Engine got 5w30 Mobile 1 and a M1-209 large capacity filter.

So, what's the solution, if any? "Hope it happens in your driveway and not at 75mph highway speeds" sounds like a crappy gamble -- especially since most people have significant years/miles on their rides.. Mine is at 234k and it has my favorite "brake feel" in my stable of cars. Smooth, firm...

Craigslist buyer called day of -- said he was in the "4K cash range". I told him he should continue his search elsewhere for the moment. Coming down to $6,000 to address for the door and tailgate rust. Otherwise I'll keep it @ my parents' so and it'll be relegated to permanent "Vermont Weekend...

Craigslist buyer coming to see it tomorrow. BTW -- that's not a huge rust scrape in the door in the picture above! I just noticed that in the pic and almost freaked out. It certainly looks like it, but it's just a reflection of a leaf on the ground in the adjacent parking spot..
