I dropped $1800 the day after I bought my 06 with 205k miles on it. Timing belt, water pump, some seals and other misc stuff. I didn't want to try and tackle that on a vehicle I'd never worked on before right out of the gate. Now I don't have to worry until almost 300k miles so it was worth it.

Oooo I like those. I double checked last night (wife's been driving the LC the last two weeks) and I need a passenger front and driver's side middle cap. The others don't look... good. Like if I squeeze one it feels like its going to shatter. I have a feeling if I go pull off the driver's...

I too, need some caps. Mine are disintegrating all around. But while we're here... Are there any decent options for aftermarket racks? Maybe with a basket? I remember searching a little while back but never really found something that would replace the entire stock racks that I liked...

Cool I never knew this section of the forum even existed, although I'm fairly new to ih8mud.

Anybody have a driver's side third row seat? Preferably in gray. edit: for a 100 series.

Saw you guys at the parade last night. Didn't realize there was a local club. Is this a good place to catch up on what's going on?

OK, so. I'm done. I could get the driver's side out super easy on the ramps, 20 minutes, no problem. Spent probably 2 hours on the passenger's side though. Tried the box wrench and multiple strap wrenches underneath to no avail. Drilled a hole in the upper shock body and stuck a screwdriver...

What kind of blade for the sawzall? I think I just have standard combo blades (wood/metal) with a pointy end.

The 22mm deep socket is already in the mail so I think I'm going with the hole method, mainly because I had to apply a lot of heat to the front nuts to get them to break loose and I can't see how I'm going to do that from under the truck. (I mean, maybe, but why struggle?) The LC has 208k...

Well I got the fronts done with the non-ratcheting 22mm. It took a lot of heat and a 5ft lead pipe and a mangled shock body, but its done. Didn't even attempt the rears yet. Given how the fronts went I have a feeling I'm going to be drilling some holes just so I can get the heat gun on the...

You were able to fit a sawsall in the rear? Its in the garage now soaking in PB blaster. Flex head 22mm is supposed to arrive from Amazon on Friday. We'll see. I can at least get the fronts done I hope (I have a non-ratcheting 22mm as a backup).

Search is killing me. I just need to know what size wrenches/sockets are required to replace the stock shocks (front/rear). I know the top nut is 22mm because I took it to napa to try and get a flex wrench (which they didn't have). Searching here / youtube I'm getting that the front lower...

I paid $12.5 for my 06 LC with ~202k miles on it. Bumpers are in rough shape and there's some wear on the driver's seat and I had to immediately do the timing belt and some other service while it was in there to the tune of $1800. (hadn't been done since ~95k miles). Just for comparison...

Like I said, I had a little bit come out the slide yoke, but then it stopped and I moved on to other zerks. After doing the rear and seeing it push out the old grease as I expected (and pumping an unnumbered excessive amount) I went back to the front to see if I just didn’t do enough. I got...

I just greased the bejezus out of the driveshaft and it’s a noticeable difference. I was skeptical. My only issue was the front driveshaft didn’t really like passing the old grease and actually built up enough pressure to squirt it back out the zerk. Then I also noticed instead of coming out...
