Hi Shane, it's black truck. Will give you a call. For everyone else, had the truck smogged yesterday. Passed without issue and good for 90 days here in CA.

Motivated to sell, I've identified a replacement vehicle but would like to move the LX470 beforehand. If you're interested make me an offer, I'm willing to negotiate.

SOLD

Hello All, I'm located in Los Angeles, this is a great truck, but I'm dealing with a long commute now b/c of a change in work. I have 41 pdf pages of maintenance records from Lexus, here is the VIN: JT6HT00W8Y0098843 so you can check as well. I'm asking 13.5k.

Same hose. I just need to do this bit.

I guess I have to dig around a bit more on that firewall to engine block ground. I gave up once I got to the harness. I couldn't follow the wire to the engine block. Guess I will have to climb up there to get a good look.

Tell me more about the ground from firewall area to engine block. How did you trace that wire? Better yet, how did you get back in the area. If I remember correctly in my 2000 LX that wire leads to a harness and then I can't see where that wire trails off to. I would like to do the Big 3, but...

Including mine there are at least 4 parked within a half-mile of each other daily.

Hum. I'm all for preventative maintenance and if I can figure out the fix I will. But I don't want to throw money down a rabbit hole either.

Sorry if this is long trying to be as detailed as possible. I have a 2000 LX470 with 119k. When running my AC my truck idles at roughly 700rpm while in drive. At this RPM I get a small whine that I can hear in the cabin. The minute I accelerate the sound, as far as I can tell goes away. Also...

Okay. Don't know if anyone is following this but thought I would update my finding. Pulled out my multimeter today and ran a test on the wire coming out of the parking brake switch. When the parking break is engaged the wire sends a 12v signal. When the parking break is off (down) there is no...

Yeah. This is starting to be my guess. I can find no wiring diagram for the emergency brake near the handle. Though I can find the part linked above, which quite possibly is for cars with navigation. The PO did install navigation so it's a good chance the PO used the tap on the switch as the...

Sorry to double post, didn't see an edit option.. I have a 2000 LX470. On theory I have is that the plug is for a truck equipped with navigation, but then why have it on the 2000 model.

I was able to get the truck up and running again. One blown fuse and a ECU reset by unplugging the battery and everything is good. However I still have a wire dangling out of the parking brake switch. Funny thing is my dash brake light works perfectly fine when engaging and disengaging the e...
