I'm in the Emory / VA-Highland area and I've seen a few nextdoor/facebook/neighborhood posts about large-scale thefts, as in a crew hitting an apartment complex or commercial fleet. I'm likely installing a skid plate very soon.

I'm going through the stolen cat process in Atlanta right now. It's likely organized crime. Cats are thrown into a container and shipped overseas. Similarly, there's a story out there about high-end mountain bikes being re-sold at 80% of retail price from a (now closed) web retailer based in Mexico.

Thanks for the reply. I saw a lot of the CC threads, but didn't see anything about the extra lights. I guess I'll be adding a skid plate, too.

We were on our way to a NYE party and noticed immediately something was wrong upon starting the car. So today I wanted to move the truck from where the CC theft occurred, and the CEL was on (as expected), but so were the VSC and TRAC/VSC OFF lights. And when I moved the truck to a different...

About $2500 for AHC delete/Dobinsons 1-1.5" install, including labor. The original quote to delete AHC and replace with no lift, standard LC shocks was about $1200 (I think, also including labor). My very rough estimate of repairing the AHC is about $1500-2k (that's just me guessing, no quote).

I live in Atlanta and the shop I went to has a pretty good reputation (on this board), and the first option they quoted was for a non-lift suspension replacement (delete AHC, replace with standard LC shocks). And from what I can tell the cost of 4 new globes would be similar to a lift kit with...

I recently acquired a 2006 LX470 with AHC. The system works (goes up & down (slowly) and is level), but the ride is bouncy, especially for anyone sitting in the back. I had it checked out at a shop and they recommended removing the system as it would be more expensive to maintain the AHC over...

1. I do not anticipate towing (hitch mounted bike rack at most). 2. About 170k, but it had fairly extensive & regular maintenance performed before I took ownership 3. I do expect to get into off-road exploring, predominantly in the Southeast. This won't be a daily driver, but it may be used for...

I have a quick follow-up question on lifts. When a kit is advertised as providing x inches of lift, is that in relation to the neutral height? I have a stock LX470 where the ADC is on its last legs and I'm deciding between the Dobinsons 1-1.5" kit, or just going with standard LC shocks (no...
