I have found this SEM Bumper coater Charcoal Metallic to be a "close enough" match for touch up. https://www.amazon.com/Original-Appearance-Charcoal-Metallic-Aerosol/dp/B00397ETA8?tag=ihco-20

I just went through this when 4 of the 9 bolts on my driver's side valve cover broke during removal. I found it easier to drill out the remains of the bolt rather than trying to use a screw extractor. I used a 3/16 ID flange bushing from Mcmaster as a drill guide with the valve cover still in...

----------------SOLD------------------ Looking to sell my 96 LX450. It has a little over 286k. It's pretty much stock with factory lockers. I have a long commute for work now and it has developed an oil leak at the front cover (oil pump outlet o-ring). i have to add oil several times between...

I'm out of town without my truck, so I can't try anything. As soon as I get back ill check my air intake boot for cracks as the other thread suggests. I wonder if I can unplug the oxygen sensor and drive out of the neighborhood to test that idea.

Sorry- the lambda/oxygen sensors. That's just my speculation based on what I see on the ultra gauge, I'm not sure that's the issue but I was going to start there.

I have a very similar problem on my 96, although its noticeable even on a flat road. I have an ultra gauge obdii display on mine and the problem seems to happen right when the engine goes to closed loop lambda control, so I have suspected that maybe the sensors are getting worn and are slow to...

No problem. SUUEEET - are you interested? I'm not firm on the price, just want to make it worth my time to pack it up and drive to the post office.

Orion, Send me your email address and I'll shoot you the pictures. I have the phone, cradle, cables and mounting hardware from the center console and the steering wheel control unit. I have not pulled the control unit from the back, but I will if you want it. The phone is damaged on one corner...

I have one that I pulled out of my 96 LX a few months ago. I'll try to find it tonight and get some pics, I think it's in decent shape.

I have one from a 96 LX450 in NC if you want it. Shane

Want to buy: A pair of 40 seats near NC. I really just need the sheet metal pans under the lower cushion, so the condition is not too important. The pans have rusted away on mine after sitting out in the rain with the top off too many times. The cushion foam had been holding water against the...

Thanks liduidman, but I found that the steering wheel piece is only 4 bucks from the dealer, so I just picked one up. Still need to find a 3rd row strap though.

Looking for a 3rd row seat strap/hook that hooks to the grab handle and the trim panel on the left side of the steering wheel (45187 in the picture at Lexus 1996 LX450 Steering Wheel - Parts Catalog - 45-04 10099) Shipped to 27344

Thanks for posting the pics. I have the same color LX and I am planning to do the same setup when funds allow. Did you take any before and after measurements? Is it sitting pretty level with these springs?
