Well, it wasn’t every single other steering component possible... But at least everything is new I suppose 🤦🏼♂️
Before the OEM only crowd comes for me, yes I know. My girl is not getting cleaner, only rustier, but I’ve accepted that and battle...
Bringing back the poverty pack. Just got old hundies back from paint and body. I guess I'm committed now. Need new fogs and a roof rack delete/refurb asap!
Had the DS bottom cushion panels replaced due to a panel starting to tear at the stitch holes from worn foam. Took it to a local, reputable auto upholstery shop. Leather is super soft, foam redone. Very comfy.

Bought an iPad and am trying out the 4" SeaSucker brand suction cup mounts. 120-lbs of force. Testing it out on my Tundra until I can get out to Moab in two weeks to slap it on the 100's windshield. So far so good...
Just stumbled across this post as I became curious myself about the very question you are asking. I have a 98 lx470 with 333k on it. The valve covers aren’t even leaky. No drips, no burning oil. Replaced coil packs a couple years ago when I felt...
Good week for the LX.
Got new seat covers for the front.
At Miyaki Motorsports in El Monte I had them drain and fill the:
Front and rear diffs
Transfer Case
Transmission
Got a key with a fob so I can unlock / lock via remote now.

I used to wax the chain: 100% best chain lube, imo. Some said it added like 2 seconds to a 40K TT (😔) but for me no complaints other than 1) it was a pain in the ass to do, and 2) the chain seemed to get noisier sooner than with a liquid lube.
Depends on the ride (distance, difficulty, weather, elevation gain, etc.) and with whom I'm riding (easy, hard or a mash). It took me a few years to find out what worked for me, especially for long rides (80+ miles).
I typically use EFS for...
eat real food: a sandwich, apple, dates, trail mix, etc. When I eat bars they have no more than four or five ingredients and no chemicals.
I skip the hydration stuff and make my own. Quarter of bottle is juice the rest water and added 500-1000mg...
So I have been down the rabbit hole of all kinds of toxic supplements you typically get at any store for energy on the trail. Red bull, then even worse sugar free Red bull, Celsius, Ciff Blocks, protein bars(compete junk) and so on. And started...
