    Mag safe charger / cubby to replace OEM ashtray

    Its been working perfectly for me! I love having an easy spot to put my phone now where it wont end up in the nether regions of the vehicle.

    Need to replace the windshield. Lots of people seem to have issues after that-- why? What should I ensure the mechanic does?

    Insurance paid for my last windshield install. I have a $0 glass deductible. I requested OE glass and it was approved in <24hrs. OE Lexus glass L&R side mouldings Rivets Top trim moulding

    I heard from a SE Dealer about another 20% off sale from Jul 29 - Aug 1. Unclear on if it will be site-wide or not, but they were pretty confident it would be.

    Center Diff Bulb Replacement or Antenna Mast Bulb

    I have found a #680 bulb is a near perfect match for that type of brown bulb holder. Same bulbs in the defrost and rear a/c switches.

    Dead 2006 100 series...

    If your dealer accepts returns, buy a brush set along with a reman alternator. Once you get the old one out, it only takes a couple mins to take it apart to see if you just need brushes. Charge that battery up while you are replacing the alternator. Don't need to let a brand new alternator...

    Ticking time bomb TICK TICK TICK: Spark plugs Alert Alert Alert!

    Ticking time bomb TICK TICK TICK: Spark plugs Alert Alert Alert!

    Could your galling be a consequence of your insanely overtorqued plugs? Retorquing plugs every oil change seems like overcomplicating this particular issue. If you are concerned about thread health, run a thread cleaner before installing new plugs dry. Make sure your torque wrench is roughly...

    Starter Questions

    These do not seem like starter failure symptoms. Are you running an AGM battery or flooded lead-acid? I would be putting a multi-meter on not only the batt terminals while running, but at the alternator as well. The gauge is sort of accurate, but it would be nice to verify you are getting a...

    2007 LC A/C Suddenly Not Working - Advice Needed

    “Pressured to where it should” means what? How much refrigerant is currently in the system? Have you gone sniffing for any leaks? Compressor clutch air gap in spec? Throwing darts here but maybe this will get you started somewhere…

    LX470 ahc vs icon

    I can bet it won’t ride like an AHC truck. For that price you could get your system baselined and working like new and still have money left over.
