Going to part with my LX470. Need it gone pretty quick and price is somewhat negotiable. New water pump and timing belt in the last 10,000 miles. AHC works flawlessly. Paint less than perfect, but these forums are usually a safe space for things like that. Short write up here: 2002 Lexus LX 470...

Can I rotate the cam counterclockwise to where it was? Or would I have to rotate clockwise and, if so, how many rotations?

I've been through the timing belt for dummies (not dumb enough). The FSM has been helpful, but not foolproof. My real questions: 1) If the old belt permitted one of the cams to skip a notch - is there an obvious solution for that? 2) can I rotate that drivers side cam back to the neutral...

My 2002 with 190,xxx miles started running rough the other day when I pulled into the driveway after a short trip. I ordered new timing belt, water pump, etc. and took everything apart. Turns out taking it apart was the easy portion. I marked the old belt before removal and transferred marks to...

I'm going to replace my timing belt/water pump/etc. in the next week or so. Those that have done it themselves - have you ordered parts offline (if so, from where) or have you gotten them locally?

I thought that was odd too. The site also has an asterisk next to where it says that indicating that there would be some explanation below but I couldn't find anything. Their ladder does look like a pretty solid piece. I am somewhat worried that it is only rated to 250 pounds, which could...

This may help my decision greatly. I might just go for this ladder with an ARB bumper with blanks in it off the back and then add swing outs when I want to down the road.

I like the slee - my fiance does use the truck a good bit and I'm concerned she'd quickly grow tired of getting in and out of the back with that bumper. My only reservation about the ARB is that I would really like to have a ladder and it doesn't look like they have a factory option to add...

Chris - do you have any in stock now?

For those of you that have upgraded rear bumpers - does everyone pretty much go with ARB or Slee? I talked to the guy from Bump It Offroad because I saw a thread where someone mentioned their bumper was significantly cheaper - after my discussion with them it looks like their bumper would cost...

Anyone one here looking to part with a 100 series Slee/ARB rear bumper? Or know anyone looking to sell one?

That's a nice Old South cooler back there. He must have started as OM the year after I graduated.

Anyone have suggestions for where to have window tint done in Jackson? I'm not going for blacked out or anything, but the factory brown LX tint isn't cutting it in MS summer.

Thanks Chris. I'll be sure to contact you when it is time to start ordering parts. I've always wondered what all the LCs were doing when I passed your shop.
