    Has anyone run across a decent rear storage box with drawers for the 250 yet? That aren't $4000....

    Build My LX470 Revival

    I still need to replace the inner rocker panels. Found some rust holes when I pulled the factory steps off. But will put some miles on it before I decide if it’s worth moving forward with more cutting and welding. I did pick up some white knuckle rock sliders that I plan to install soon. They...

    Build My LX470 Revival

    next the front end, ripped out all of the AHC components including wire harnesses, lines, pump/reservoir, accumulators and valves. That was a messy project. Needle scaled the rest of the frame and front end and painted. Replaced the lower control arms and bushings with dooreman parts and Delphi...

    The gas tank was replaced with an aftermarket piece for about $350, quality looks decent. Nice coating on it. Had to buy a new filler hose neck to mount in the tank, but the rest of the parts transfered over using the new orings/gaskets that came with the tank. I replaced both straps at this...

    Several other sections were cut out and replaced with new steel. Then everything was cleaned again and painted with Eastwood’s rust encapsulator black frame paint. I ended up finding a good deal in the classified section here for a complete Ironman foam cell suspension kit with all new rear...

    The pass side was so bad I ended up cutting everything off from the wheel arch in the frame back and replacing it with new 2x4” 1/4” wall box tubing. The drivers side wasn’t as bad and I was able to spice in a section of the same 2x4 box for the last 24” of frame. I also entirely cut off the...

    I recently picked up this 2004 LX470 in a trade and thought I’d see if I could bring it back to useable condition. I figured I would share my progress here. It has 319k miles on it, was a 2 owner vehicle before me. Original owner kept it until just last year and had it religiously maintained at...

    2003 LX 470 AHC Delete?

    I just completed an AHC delete on my 04 LX and it was a bit of a project. Mine was quite rusty, so every line was junk and most of the nuts and bolts holding the components to the frame were rusted beyond easy removal. The biggest fight I had was getting the upper nuts off of the rear shocks. I...
