lim in the Bay Area! SF

Held up very well so far, and I park outdoors a few miles away from the Pacific Ocean. My ARB front bar is really oxidizing, but it’s also a decade older.

Here the best doing the other thing he excels at.... Actually a really good boy, mostly..

Good idea, put a little JB weld in the holes as insurance...

OK, as I'm lining up the parts for my subtank install, my dog grabbed the fuel sender and got a good chew in before I noticed. Young Aussie, they love to chew.... The harness connector is shot, but not an issue as I'm cutting it off and using my own. However he also bit the fuel float for the...

Mine does this intermittently, can you be specific on what box and where? Like to check that out before I consider a solenoid.

no affiliation, but a rare mint low mileage. $ 16,500 not bad.. 1997 Lexus LX450 4X4 75k original miles clean title

So after managing to get all the parts I'm finally in the process if installing my OE subtank. In looking at the breather connection from the main tank to the hardline, there is very little room to get in there, and the hose piece is so short I can barely fit in my tee fittings. When done I'm...

I’m in CA as well and asked about it during my last smog check. The tech said there is no restrictor requirement anymore, and he does not check for it. Leaded gas does not really exist, so no need. I looked it up and that seems to be the consensus. Of course I have not smogged post dual...

I'm about to cut mine in half to install a sub tank as well. Are you all disconnecting the filler from the tank first? I'm more than a little worried about even my spark proof hacksaw blade or some static discharge. Don't want to be under the car when a fire starts. Any procedures to make...

Ordered a set as well, I'll atttach a photo with the upper subtank gauge console to see how that all looks. Should be a nice fit. Makes one wonder what other LS400 parts would fit, they had amazing seats, etc. that are now getting cheap to buy.

I had a very similar issue with low speed shut off. Usually but not always preceeded by a rough idle, sometimes very sudden and out of the blue. Took a while to figure out but it was the large rubber intake hose after the MAF sensor. There was a tear/crack in the hose on the bottom where it...

Looking for the lower tailgate shipped to 94131

I added higher res photos of the existing pictures to the album "ozbar" and I'll take the lock plate tomorrow as well. - The lock plate was included. - Note that I had to specify that I had alloy wheels, in Australia the default is steel, and there is a difference in the tire holders - I'm...
