Like you said, I'm stuck and that's how it goes. I do appreciate being treated well and it makes it hurt a little less.

So, thanks to MycoManiac 👍. Called Jesus (the owner) at TEQ Auto Solutions and Off-Road and he was great. Felt confident enough in Jesus after a patient and thoughtful call with Jesus that I went back to the Lexus dealer and drove the 20min to his shop. By then it was obvious I have a...

Thanks. Brocks just sent me to Sterling McCall Lexus in Webster. All those service writers have watches I can't afford. 🤔 They won't have any feedback until Wednesday. If it's ridiculous, I will seek out Javier at Keating Toyota. It's only 30min away.

So My Premium AAA service will get me to parents house in Friendswood, TX. Will be just under 200mi. So let's see if the tow service adds miles. Local Friendswood mechanic did my alignment and are recommended by family friends, Brocks Care Care in Friendswood, TX. Wife drove down to pick up...

Am on the road to visit family. Stopped for food. While sitting to feed kids, engine starts idling rough. Then cuts off. Go to turn over and it will not start. Sounded like a weak crank. See A/T Oil Temp. Thought it was battery/alternator. Sit for 45min waiting for AAA battery service...

Thanks for the list. I'm just starting the search. Picked up a couple of nails today. Tires tread at 6/6/9/6 (DF, DR, PF, PR). My DR is the tire that picked up the nail. So, with a 800mi round trip drive to make this week, I'm not feeling great about my tires with a patch in at least one...

My 2006 LX470 has been new to me for four weeks and I love every one of the +1,000 miles drive so far. My LX's AHC system seems to be functioning properly from what I can tell. I connected my ThinkDiag scanner to get a reading on the pressures and got 10.7 on the accumulator, 7.9 front, and...

Thanks guys. I am guessing the rear seat can go out the back, no?

Landshark9, Appreciate the feedback. What's your guess on the time to to complete start to fimish? Probably knock it out with a buddy in a couple of weekends. Thx.

Thx. That's what I needed. On the youtubes, it looks doable. Worst part looks like taking the rear seat out. Any guess on time commitment?

The fuel gauge on my '06 LX470 has started to fluctuate and not reflect the actual amount of fuel in my tank. At start up, the fuel gauge may read correctly 3/4 of tank, then a short time later, read 1/2 or less. While driving I can at times see the fuel gauge moving up or down. I've got no...

Yeah, you'd be a rich man. Every time I walk away, I'm looking back. Gotta ask, how did you put all those miles on all those 80 and 100 series. Wow. Makes me think I might not ever buy another vehicle.

Small world. I'd been stalking this one, but just didn't get around to going to seeing in it in person. How did it work out? Did you pick it up?

Looks like the alternator, steering rack, and secondary air pump are done. I'll have to check on the fan clutch and fan pulley. I'm pretty confident the starter hasn't been done. I'll add those last three to the TDL if I can't confirm. Thanks.

I am going to move all of the service record into over to an Google sheets format so it's not such a big ask. It feels like a lot of the PM pointed out has been touched in the past 1-2yrs.
