@BILT4ME - Thanks for the source. I often use McGeorge Toyota (Shopping Cart | Toyota Parts - https://toyotaparts.mcgeorgetoyota.com/cart). Problem with this hard line part was that nobody wanted to ship as it was too long / fragile so had to find someone with the part in our neighborhood.

Just to close this string, I was able to find OEM hard brake lines from the dealer. The one I originally purchased from the Toyota dealer (Dolan / Reno) had the right part number but didn't ultimately fit. My mechanic found another at the Lexus dealer, which fit (not sure why they would have...

Interestingly, I called my local Toyota dealer and they said the part was available and there were eight in their Ontario, CA warehouse. Part number 47324-60211. My impression was that the part was no longer available. I ordered one and will report back in a few days. Figured for around $80...

Sure thing. Here it is...the top line in the pic, which I believe is part number 47324.

@Kwikvette and @rebelcruiser - Thanks for the suggestions. I suspect my repair shop just doesn't want to do the bending required for the repair. @Saito - Criticism accepted. Not sure what I was thinking. Leak is to the outside of the bushings of what I suspect is the stabilizer bar. Aligns...

Hi All - I have a 1996 LX450 and a section of the hard brake line that runs from the front to the back blew out. It is the area under the car that lines up with the front section of the rear leaf springs (hopefully that makes sense). I am in the Lake Tahoe area and my mechanic says they have...

I have a somewhat different problem. My Dark Emerald Pearl LX450 came with the gold color Lexus logo on the center cap. I found one on e-bay where there was a glue-on gold logo, which worked fine. But since then I have either thrown off two caps or had them disappear while parked so am...

I bought seat covers for my 96 LX450 from Mosley Motors as well - front and rear seats, headrests, armrests and center console. Then had everything professionally installed. Leather was super quality and it is wearing well after 12 months or so. The whole set wasn't cheap (I can't remember...

Congrats on the new 80. I watched the auction on BAT as well. So many great upgrades! For your slow window motor project, there are a lot of helpful threads here. My windows were slow on a good day plus the driver side window stopped from time to time. Real bummer when you put down the...

I bought something similar to my link, so not LX450 specific. But they seemed to work...or at least my installer didn't complain about an issue. I can understand the previous posts as some of the seams on the LX450 upholstery didn't seem to match the seams on the seat cushion. But they...

@azrider, not sure what happened to your earlier message. Yes, I ordered the seat cushions from cruiser parts and I see a set available now (https://shop.cruiserparts.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=22491). I put them in my LX450 and used Mosley Motors leather seats. I...

Thank you everyone for your helpful advice. It took me some time but did want to close the loop on my project. I ended up doing a complete roof rack delete, which included removing the ribs. I then had the roof liner dropped, rivnuts cut out, holes patched and roof repainted (I used Ritch's...

I bought new leather seats for my 1996 LX450 from Cam at Mosley Motors. They look fantastic but haven't installed yet. I am using a professional auto upholstery shop for that bit as I don't have the time or inclination to install. Also bought the seat heater. I bought new seat cushion foam...

Thanks everyone for your advice. I knew many parts were port installed, but I didn't realize the roof rack was. Would also mean the roof was built strong enough originally so doesn't really need to roof ribs to add rigidity. Will see what he finds when they pull the liner. If there is no...

Had a fantastic trip to Moab a few weeks back, with the highlight being an overnight trip on the White Rim Trail. Our 1996 LX450 (The Beast) performed admirably, even in 109 degree heat, but the roof rack front mounts failed. Carrying camping gear for 4 people did it in but unseen rust...
