    LX 570 - Yellow Navigation Screen Replacement - A How-To Guide

    @Chocolate - Did you have to take the trim off from around the screen to install the screen protector? I tried the screen protector at the link below on my 2011 LX. It was about 1 mm too wide and tall. With the plastic protective film still attached to the screen protector (practice...

    Phone Mount

    Yes, the phone attachment to the Scosche mount is magnetic. I used the metal plate that came with the mount. It is about 0.05 inches (1.3 mm) thick.

    5.7L V8 Cam Tower Leaks, Timing Cover Leaks, Valley Plate Coolant Leak

    Adding on to this thread. Can anyone confirm the pictures below indicate a timing cover leak, and not something else? Drivers side, front only. No drops making it to the skid plates or the ground. 2011 LX, 118K miles. 0W20 for most of its life, recent switch to 5W-30 after the leak started...

    Phone Mount

    Reporting back on what I've tried. I wanted to be able to position the mount just right for me (requiring the least amount of looking away from the road, and close enough to reach without stretching), not block the vent, and have a strong connection with the phone. I gave up on magsafe...

    Winter tires and driving

    The response from Nokian when I asked about the R3 SUV vs. the LT3: "If you are looking for the best performing non-studded winter tire then we would recommend the Hakkapeliitta R3. The R3 is designed to perform optimally as a non-studded winter tire while the LT3 is designed to perform...

    Winter tires and driving

    edwardg - thanks for the feedback. Nokian's winter tire brochure indicates that any LT3 size can be had either studded or non-studded. Discount Tire (seemingly the only big distributor in my area) seems to only show one size of non-studded on their website, so its unclear how available the...

    Winter tires and driving

    Reviving an old thread. Does anyone have opinions on the Nokian Hakka R3 SUV vs. the Nokian LT3 (non-studded version)? I like the idea of an E rated tire for winter too (I have E rated AT's the rest of the year), and the deeper treads on the LT3 might do better in the snow and last longer...

    Small Roof Gear Box?

    It'd be nice to have a bit more storage space in my LX570 for tools and emergency gear. Nissan Xterra's used to come stock with a small gear box on the roof. Doesn't stick up above the roof cross bars. Has anyone ever seen anything similar for an LC or LX, either commercially available or a...
