    100 Series Overland build..where to start?

    Welcome! My two cents... AHC can get you pretty far. Nice when in camp I can put it in Low. As stated above, baseline will be a good first step for fluids/consumables. The process I went through seemed to work well for me... 1. Tires with the stock wheels 2. Sliders... (Slee Step Sliders)...

    Gas tank building excessive pressure & fuel smell. Dangerous for sure! Why does this happen?

    Following: 2004 LX470, loaded with family camping gear and going into the Utah Mountains, it happens all the time. Looking forward to hearing more. Makes sense that it's getting hot with going slow and the pressure building with elevation.

    Rooftop tent on stock rails?

    No issues... nothing too crazy off-road, just your typical Utah Mountains and San Juan’s in Colorado. Might add a third bar... but it works for now.

    Rooftop tent on stock rails?

    I have Thule crossbars, x2 holding up a 3 person Tepui tent, maxtrax, diy shower and now the awning. All has been fine I’ve the last years of ownership. Using stock rails the whole time. I just put the bars on the ends of the stock rails. Although, now I’m thinking it might be good to add an...

    ARB vs Dometic Fridge

    I went with my decision based on dimensions and lid access. I went with an ARB 63 because it wasn't as tall. See the ARB dimensions below. I have it sitting on top of my ARB Drawers with the sliding top. I'm happy with it, but I do like the dual temp control of the Dometic. Both are good...

    Need some advice: GX470 vs LX470

    LX Tailgate instead of swing out rear door - didn’t think I’d love the tailgate so much. More space in LX. Good Luck.

    2004 LX470 Windshield Replacement in San Jose

    I ended up just doing Lexus of Pleasanton with OEM glass on my 2004 LX470.... Around $1,000. Whats the cost they're looking at with OEM glass? With the work involved, I enjoyed the peace of mind that Lexus did it in case I have any issues with leaking. It's not your normal install.

    When to change oil on a new car?

    Need your help. Picked up a 2019 Subaru Ascent the other day and owners manual says first oil change is 6 months or 6,000 miles. My plan is to change the oil at 1,000 miles to clear out all the oil after the break in period. At 6,000 miles I'll change it again to stay on schedule so I don't...

    Newbie Introduction and Questions :)

    I would log onto Lexus and see if you can find the service history. It's amazing what they have listed. You just need the VIN. I would check it out. The more vehicles you look at, the better you'll be at spotting the best one.

    Newbie Introduction and Questions :)

    Welcome! Once you get it you'll be so happy. Disclaimer - I am not an expert and have only owner one 100 series. Noticed you're in Cali. Not sure those prices are high enough. I searched for months and was finding 2004 LX470 with 160K would be in the $16k/17k range. I calculated $1k per Year...

    Need a little windshield advice...wwyd?

    Just had OEM glass done. 04’ LX. $1,050 at the Lexus dealer with new mouldings. Pleasanton, CA. I’m very happy. I debated, but based on the low miles of the car and I didn’t want more road noise, I decided OEM was best for the price.

    Should I be concerned - Grease leaking from dust cap...

    Thanks everyone for the information on this. About to do a several week trip to the northwest with the family and wanted to make sure I would be fine. Sounds like I'll add the bearing repack to the list of things to do when I get back.
