Over the past month: Changed rear springs to Dobinsons 223v (perfect compliment to otherwise stock setup) Replaced rear shocks OEM for OEM. Replaced rear height sensor (didn’t fix my issue) Replaced power steering pump Replaced brake booster Replaced radiator Replaced left outer TRE HIDs in...

It’s the coin/cigarette tray.

Had a great idea and made a thing!! But when I reinstalled the tray cover, I immediately noticed that it points down. Oh well, at least it’s there if I need it.

This week, I parked it on a mountain.

Thanks for the link and the clarification! @shane431 it looks like my rig was merely disconnected when the conventional suspension was installed. I have all the globes and hoses and pumps etc still installed. TBH, I have no desire to remove it either hearing what a nightmare it is.

I appreciate all the help folks! I’ve been upside down in the forums researching this. Seems very specific to me. And yes, I’ll admit, a minor annoyance. From what I gather, the main fuse in the engine bay disables the system. The fuses in the cab turn off all the lights. Unless there is a...

Very. PO had the swap done at slee. Shocks are Toyota/tokico. Hydraulic pipes are disconnected at the pump. Main fuse is pulled.

Essentially yes. However those lights still worked. They have showed N for the past 4 years. Suddenly this past week it showed L. For reference, it’s my daily, no armor, bumpers, or added weight. The only fuse that’s been removed is the main, engine compartment fuse. The smaller fuses in the...

I bought my 05 LX470 with the AHC deleted and standard suspension already installed. Everything has been great up to now. No lights or warnings. My issue is - it suddenly started saying it’s in L mode? With standard suspension?! I crawled around underneath looking at the sensor linkages. They...

I just went through this with my 2005 LX. I was convinced it was the LCA bushings. I replaced all the ball joints first. a few needed to be replaced due to ripped boots. But it didnt fix the problem. I trouble shot the creaking using my mechanics stethoscope and could also feel the creak...

I can see how that is confusing..... I moved to MI from San Diego. 4/10 - the food is bland and boring.

Over the weekend, I tried to have a remote start installed on my 05 LX470. the guy, apparently certified as a master installer, ran away screaming. said he couldnt find the remote lock/unlock wires. he said the electrical panels just plain werent there according to the EWD. To his credit, it...

I replaced the two/three easy front diff bushings a while back. didnt make any difference. No drivetrain vibrations. how would the drive hubs be worn? isnt it just a flange that sandwiches the rotor? (as much as I like doing my own maintenance, I took it to a shop to get the bearings done...

I was noticing a significant thunk in the driveline every time I even thought about the throttle. Process of elimination, easiest to hardest - greased the zirks last week. it helped but only marginally, and it didnt last. on to today - I flushed 14qts of valvoline maxlife atf through the atf...
