    stainless brake hoses

    Funny you used a video from Savage geese (a youtube channel I usually follow) with a vehicle I'm so familiar with, with a mod I did to it for street/track use and although I agree with that video for the majority of it, if you use the vehicle like the S2000 on a mountain road even within the...

    stainless brake hoses

    Why didn't you like it? All my experiences with SS lines was great, and I plan on towing a camper and put 33's KO2. In the past, I did the tire upgrade (in other vehicles) and the SS lines were a must. I understand the fitting issue you mentioned on your video however did you end up putting it...

    100 Series (LX470) from NB - Canada

    Hi JC. Yes they are not common at all around here, in Fredericton, there are 2 LX's and mine (as far as I know). I tried to get to know people to go for overlanding trips around here but it's kind of hard, somehow the Jeep owners like Jeep people and the LX's owners, well they're LX's so not...

    Help me decide - repair or scrap my son’s 100 series

    Honestly, if that's the best deal: 13,600 for it or 9,300 with buy back. If you don't like/want to fix it yourself I would get the 13,600 back from insurance and buy another one, maybe a 2003 (a Land cruiser or an LX470) newer (for the 5 speed gearbox and if safety is a concern you have side...

    AHC Error C1733 - Help needed

    Hi guys, I have a 2005 LX 470 and my AHC system only works when there is moisture or it's raining, so I'm assuming electrical\connection issues. I plugged my diagnosis machine and it came up with code C1733 - Height control solenoid rear gate circuit. upon looking under the vehicle I can tell...

    2005 LX470 miles to Km and F to C

    It's hard to believe that, a lot of other manufacturers do some sort of coding or a button or a combination of buttons to change that and somehow Toyota (in my opinion the best brand in the market) goes and spends more money to get a different cluster. Doesn't make sense, it doesn't mean you're...

    2005 LX470 miles to Km and F to C

    Hi guys, I bought a 2005 LX470 last summer and I was fixing some minor problems and I did huge maintenance items. This one didn't bother me that much but now that I have pretty much everything as it was supposed to be, I'm starting mods 33 KO2's (will be my first one) and a few more goodies...

    100 Series (LX470) from NB - Canada

    So not all aftermarket rims will fit.... :frown: I do like those F5 but, I don't know if they're the best looking ones, still undecided what to do about the rims/tires. I know I want 33 and Bf's all-terrain KO2 unsure of all the rest.

    100 Series (LX470) from NB - Canada

    that 60 or 80 is just opinions. I do like all of them (except the iron pig) but the one that floats my boat is the 80 :) If it wasn't the taste what would happen to the yellow :rofl::rofl: Any 16 will fit or just the stock ones? If some aftermarket will do what should I be looking for...

    100 Series (LX470) from NB - Canada

    Hi all, I started this account a couple of months back when I was looking for a Toyota Land cruiser, however, there are not that many LC in Canda so I needed to go to the next best thing an LX. Initially, I was looking for an LX450 because for me the 80 series is the best looking of them all...

    Looking to buy a LX470 in Canada - need help

    Actually, it's the second person that I talked with (both from Alberta Edmonton and Calgary), everything seems OK, until the moment I ask them to take it to a pre-inspection purchase. I always thought it would be a very easy process if the seller doesn't have anything to hide, it would just...

    Looking to buy a LX470 in Canada - need help

    Not really, apparently no one like to take their vehicles to a shop to have a pre-purchase inspection. In the meantime he sold it. So if someone knows about a Lexus LX 470 2003-2007 with no rust or close to it, please let me know.

    Looking to buy a LX470 in Canada - need help

    Ye, the one I'm looking at (that I need help with in Calgary) is originally from US. I know I'm looking for something hard to get, because I was a 2003 or newer for the 5 speed gearbox and no rust which is close to impossible but let's see :) that one fit the bill it has some work to do but...
