Are any of the warning lights flashing/blinking?

Thanks for the advice on Daystar and the OME rear springs. Any idea if the Moog springs on Rock Auto would give a similar lift? I hear you on the tires. Interesting about the Wildpeaks - I had a set on an LX570, and I loved them. But, that was the prior iteration, not the current ones, and...

Why lift? A few reasons. Right now, it looks weird. Way too low to the ground. And I think new stock suspension would bring it up some - I suspect the struts that are in there now are sagging. But why bring it up an additional inch or two? Again, looks, but that's not the only reason. We...

I recently acquired a 2008 4Runner V8, SR5 4x4. The front suspension is stock Toyota struts - possibly the original ones, but I can't be sure. In any event, I think the shocks are done, or close to it. Springs too. The front end sits pretty low - lower than the factory rake would be, yet the...

This 2008 Lexus LX 570 is a fantastic vehicle. Most of its miles are highway miles - it’s the ultimate road-tripper - and it drives like it’s brand new. I bought it from a friend, who took excellent care of it. As you would expect for the Lexus flagship model, it is loaded with features, and...

I know this is a long-dead thread, but my son was working on this same issue last night. Apparently, the bulbs can be installed incorrectly. He bought new LED bulbs, and they didn't work. After about 5 minutes of fiddling with it, he turned them 180 degrees in the bulb-holder, and the came on.

About to do my front brake pads. Anyone have any opinions as to brand? Specifically, there are several sets of Bosch ceramic pads available on Amazon. Looking at these:

Bueller?

I’ve got a FIXD OBD II reader, and it doesn’t work in my 2008 LX 570. The port is under the dash, about in line with the accelerator, right? The FIXD module works on my 99 Cruiser, my 2018 4Runner, and my 2010 F150. So the issue isn’t the module. Anyone encountered a similar problem? Was...

For 19 years, my wife drove a Suburban/YukonXL. Kids aren't little anymore, and she wanted something less battleship-like. I tried to get her into a used 200 Series, but she wanted new, so we got a 2019 4Runner Limited. Shortly after, I got a great deal on a 2008 LX 570, so I bought it, too...

Yeah, the seat doesn't concern me at all. I've done a few of them on 100's. My go-to for 100-series replacement leather seat covers has been LSeat.com - fantastic value. But it appears they don't carry 200-series covers... yet. In this case, though, all it needs is the one panel replaced.

So, I have a buddy with access, and while the miles were lower, every LX from 2008-2010 had an estimated price of more than $20K. And the buy-it-now prices (all 2010's) were in the $30K range. I cannot imagine paying $30,000 for an 8 year old truck (even though I love LC's and LX's), but it...

UPDATE - Drove it again last night, got it good an warmed up, went to a gravel lot, and everything worked just fine. Thanks very much for the advice! Tried out the Crawl Control while I was there - seen video but never actually experienced it before. That system is SO FREAKING COOL! So, what...

Great info, thanks! The truck was definitely NOT warmed up when I tried the CDL. And the CDL light was already flashing when I tried 4Low.

Following. Has anyone addressed the issue of the AHC globes being exposed from the bottom?
