I had an excellent experience with Serra Toyota and Fred Anderson Toyota. All items (7 boxes) received within 2 weeks. Also, Serra parts manager went above and beyond and shipped one box to Hawaii for me. No extra charge. The only one getting mad was my wife seeing box after box get delivered.

I sent an email to Serra Toyota's parts department. I received a reply: May 19-26 15% off everything June 1-9 25% off parts Orders over $75.00 ship free. No promo codes required. autoparts.serratoyota.com

On my 2000, I had similar vibes. I removed the rear driveshaft, locked my front hubs and took it for a drive. No vibes. Later I flipped the rear driveshaft 180 degrees (slip joint toward the front). That took 80% of the vibes away. For my year, I think the slip joint goes to the front.

I am a little embarrassed because a simple search answered my question. https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/99-highway-rpm-range.1092936/

How about this? For those with stock tires, 2000 LX470, what is the RPMs at 70 mph? I can calculate the difference with my taller tires.

Sometime back I think I remember seeing a list of RPMs at 50mph, 60mph etc with stock tires. I wanted to compare that with what I have. I know I will need to adjust for my tires that are a little taller. Does anyone have such a list? thanks,

Awesomesquid, Thanks for the clarification.

The gasket is factory applied, semi pliable. Sealed to the face. Now I have doubts is OEM. I have been purchasing items for the timing belt job starting about four years ago. Could be OEM or Denso or ?

I have a gasket leak under the front water bypass on my 2000 LX470. I have a new front bypass, gaskets and a new water inlet. I plan on removing the throttle body to get access. This new OEM water inlet has a pre-installed black gasket attached to the water inlet surface (photo). I have only...

I can't stress this enough. Way too much body roll on LC springs and T bars with LX sway bars. If I remember correctly, I replaced both my front sway bar and rear sway bar with LC. Much less body roll going around corners.

Back in 2015, at 193k, I had the brake booster motor rebuilt and I rebuilt the master cylinder. Eight years later, at 248k, dying seagull screech occasionally now from master cylinder. Replaced with new complete master cylinder unit 47050-60041 and flushed with Toyota brake fluid. Will take to...

Just a suggestion. Keep your OEM axles and order a CV axle rebuild kit. My son lives in Oahu and has a Tacoma. We bought the rebuild kit and had Starkey's Auto Repair in Honolulu rebuild them. They looked at him like he was crazy (most shops replace, not rebuild) but they did it and charged a...

I had the part time kit on the shelf for quite a while. Finally put it in. I am pretty picky about how it drives and tracks down the highway. Wow. Lightened up the steering feel a lot which is very welcome. Tracks on the freeway very nice (about 3.5 caster) and coasts when you let off the gas...

To answer the questions: I made an appointment about 3 weeks prior because I wanted a certain day. The install took 3 1/2 hrs. Probably an extra 40 min due to someone putting threadlocker on the rear view mirror screw. Other than that, no rust to treat. That would have surprised me since this...
