Where did you source them? Road debris just took out one of my headlights. I don’t want to replace just one, and $2200 for both is a jagged pill to swallow for lights!

I agree 100%! Thus my original comment about those tires really needing a regear I wasn’t quite ready to do. I think 33s are about the max I’d go on the 200 series without a regear.

It’s not so much about the make of tire as it is the rotational weight and diameter. Part of what makes tire reviews difficult is that it is rarely an apples to apples comparison. Even within just the AT4W line there are at least three different tires with the same name. You have Standard, HD...

I had the Falken AT4Ws on my ‘13 LX570 for just a few weeks. Size 285/70R18 Load range C. They looked fantastic, but at a full 34” and 69 lbs (yes, even in C) they turned my rig into a pig. I started down the re-gearing rabbit hole but just can’t afford that right now. I ended up swapping them...

@FullyLitLED are you running any Black Friday Promos? I'm looking for a full kit for my '13 LX570.

@Boston Mangler, No, I don't have them yet. Waiting for Cyber monday to get 25% off. FWIW I talked to Larry H. Miller Toyota parts in SLC, UT today and they said yes, they are participating in the sale and that it will be 25% off their already discounted online pricing. Toyota corporate is...

Yes. The Rack is $650. SuperPro bushings are $175 (not available OEM). Labor is slightly more for just replacing the bushings, so there's only $310 difference. I'd rather have a new steering rack on an 11 year old vehicle than SuperPro bushings. I'll only own this for another 1-3 years.

They are included with the Steering assembly (4420060170), so yes.

Suspension overall is better. I did a sensor lift at the same time and the spacers are to compensate for the new ride height and future weight (spacers on the LX don't work the same or have the same impact as on any other normal suspension vehicle). My vehicle now sits level in Normal, though...

From front to back you have five accumulators on the outside of the frame. The 1) FRONT NO. 1 SUSPENSION CONTROL ACCUMULATOR, 2) FRONT NO. 2 SUSPENSION CONTROL ACCUMULATOR, 3) FRONT SUSPENSION CONTROL ACCUMULATOR, 4) REAR NO. 3 SUSPENSION CONTROL ACCUMULATOR, and 5) REAR SUSPENSION CONTROL...

No reason to replace. The bushings and ball joints on the UCA's are still in good shape. My LCA bushings on the otherhand were all torn (probably because they were frozen). I was sure to use plenty of anti-seize on the new bolts, sleeves, and cams, so hopefully me or the next owner won't have...

@ExpeditionMan I just did all four shocks and LCAs on my 2013 LX570. Here's my parts list. Are you referring to the lower shock bushing mounts? Are you looking to replace them with Poly or something? I can't say for sure about that specific part, but the rest of the shock assembly and mounts are...

You can lift the body, but it requires removing a bunch of panels inside the truck to loosen the anchor points. I accessed everything with the rear shocks from the spare tire well. It's tight and a PITA, but not worth trying to lift the body unless your doing a body lift anyway.

I replaced all four shocks, four suspension control accumulators (globes), and the two rear suspension control accumulator no.3s (cylinders--they were rusted... and expensive). The whole job with bleeds took exactly 7.5L of AHC fluid.

Here's the natural angle of the rear shock without any forces applied. These appear elsewhere in various threads, but since someone asked about shaft diameter I'll include it here for easy reference. This is the rear shock.
