nevermind. I see washers on first page pics.

I know this is an old thread, but I have one question on install. My Nolathane kit came with 4 large washers. I put 1 on top and 1 on bottom (between bushing and frame). rack is moving still. Should I remove bottom washer and let the bushing rest against the frame for better grip?

I’m looking at getting a hood, fender, and upper lift gate for an LX470 and need pick up and transport to Dayton, OH 45429 or surrounding cincinnati or Columbus. Thanks.

Any interest in a partial trade? I have a 1997 FJ80 sage pearl metallic, all original, no rust, with a newish engine (<30k miles on it)?

I think I shorted it out. I ended up searching the classifieds here every day until I found an old cluster for cheap. Installed and voila, everything worked.

I got the TOY013B springs. I didn’t know all they sold were lift coils. I always try to go OEM or better on replacement products, and I thought I would try to support a smaller business rather than Toyota in this case. I guess I am the dumb consumer that plugs in year/make/model and expects the...

I bought Ironman4x4 coil springs for my 2004 Lexus LX470. they seemed like a decent company to try for replacement suspension parts. I put in my information for year/make/model, and they sent me 0-440 load springs. I couldn’t get them on the car, so I had to take to my mechanic. They had to...

40 - check. 80 - check. 100 - check. New car/200/Heritage - no check. I’m old school and don’t like all the bells and whistles on newer cars. And can’t afford the steep prices. If I could afford the new LC, I would definitely get the Heritage with the BBS wheels.

Lucky me, I bought a 996 last March with complete documentation/receipts for half of what it’s worth now. I got an all-original mint/no-rust condition 80 for next to nothing a couple of years ago, and an LX470 from original owner soccer mom that was trading it in. And an original condition FJ40...

I never had fuse box issues until I had windshield replaced. Now it gets soaked every time it sprinkles outside. Flashers were on this morning. I’ve had the horn blare nonstop before. The windshield place swears it’s not their problem. They even put on a Lexus windshield after I complained about...

Sorry. The uppers are in attic as I just use the lowers in the spring and fall now since I bought an FJ80, LX470, and a 911 since I posted this. Ignore the pretty purple noodle - it’s so my 911 doors don’t hit when opening. The vinyl on these (black denim) is very thick vs the Naugahyde-like...

It’s like selling your dog. Cant do it. I started with a 40, then 100, then an 80. I think about what these would sell for now, but I cant get myself to part with any of them. They are all perfect in their own way - the 40 is a chill never in a hurry vibe, the 80 is a 1990s solid as granite...

Apparently, the new windshield has a leak that drips down on passenger fuse box. Went to car wash, and when I got home, flashers wouldn’t turn off. And passenger door won’t lock. So I popped the fuse panel cover, and it was water everywhere. Disconnected the battery and calling installer tomorrow.

I originally did a “visual” of the fuses with an LED flashlight. All looked good. So, just now I thought to pull suspect fuses and replace since I have a box of 120 various I bought on amazon. pulled gauges2 in passenger footwell, 10amp, and it was corroded. Not sure how or why - i pulled all...

2004 LX470 just turned 300k. started car and all dash lights blinking - ABS, VGRS, air bag, VSC, Cruise, 2nd start, height control OFF. And screen comes on into diagnostic mode. I checked all fuses in passenger kick panel, driver kick panel, and engine bay. Didn’t check any relays...
