Great Lookin rig. Well done on the roof rack, I like the low profile look. What is your rear tube bumper tire carrier? I want one!

I’m running Yokohama G015 285/55R20 on stock rims. I replaced 5 Michelin Latitude’s that came on the truck when I bought in in July, buy a matching spare, its worth it. I love these tires, previousLynn’s ran them on my 4Runner. Tires are great in rain and snow. Good off road in most all...

Looks like it’s low but not empty. If the truck is in ‘HI’ the fluid should be near the ‘min’ line. Might just need more fluid or have a leak somewhere.

Once you are registered with Lexus Owners you should be able to see records with the VIN. I was able to put the VIN from the listing into my account and see the service history. There’s a lot there to digest. If you know a shop where it has been serviced definitely ask their opinion and any...

I recently purchased a 08 LX 570 with 117K. I test drove 4 different trucks from 08-13. My 08 was the oldest but had by far the best service history (5k oil changes, every scheduled maintenance done at same dealer), and no rust. My AHC was slow to go up and still does not like to go into the low...

questions for the group: do we know that proper OEM shocks AND springs were installed ? could AHC be turned “off” maybe on the control switch?

Thanks. I’ll check to see it’s not dry rotted or messed up somehow. Not really worried just something that caught my attention.

Getting road dust in my jack compartment…anyone else have this issue? Just noticed today when I was changing out some locking lug nuts. Pretty sure the dust was not there prior to my trip to the mountains. not really concerned about the dust but wondering if water could be a problem.

I have not done the calculations taking into account odo accuracy. So no exact #’s. New tires are 18lbs heavier per tire, so you definitely notice a change. Guessing its 1.5-2mph worse.

Just got my 08 LX a couple months ago and love the potential of these rigs. You are definitely pushing the envelope, nice work. And yet you are still “rocking” factory running boards?

I made the switch to 285/55/20’s Yokohama G015 AT from Michelin Lat. Tour 285/50/20. No issues with fit on stock rims on an 08 LX. Noticeable drop in mpg’s but worth it for my needs. I thought long and hard about switching to 17” or 18” rims but I prefer the look of the 20” rim on a truck of...

Thanks for info MTKID!

MTKid- would love to hear and see how you replaced wood door trim with fabric. Yours looks great, better than original if you ask me, and mine badly needs replacing. Thanks

Wish I had read this prior to last weekends oil change. I will be getting a dedicated 2gal bucket for,oil changes. Did my first oil,change on my LX and I made huge mess. Especially on the passenger wheel. Nothing that a bag of oil dry couldn’t handle. And I am a big fan of AMD and his car care...
