Thats a good point. Prior original owner appeared to get all of his maintenance done at the dealer but I dont know that for sure. Maybe I'll reach out to him and inquire. Thanks. I am now very inclined to fully replace the tranny fluid. Its not dark and doesnt smell burnt, so I must assume it...

I thought it was time to check and change the transmission fluid as Ive own my '03 LX470 for 3 years. I spoke with my mechanic friend who was a Lexus mechanic who helped me track the maintenance history. It showed the prior owner declined to have the trans mission fluid changed each time it was...

Absolutely. But, i VERY rarely go offroad, not sure if there is a trade off.

I just got my LX470 back after the LandCruiser suspension conversion--what a difference it makes, highly recommended. I have ZERO regrets about swapping out the AHC--it rides like a new vehicle. I need to thank SLEE for putting the parts together at a reasonable price and for taking the call...

OE TBs, Rear springs, and new shocks with all of the retainers, bushings and hardware.

In addition to the LC conversion parts, i also bought a complete sway bar bushing kit that comes with all new hardware and llinkages. I thought since its going to be apart, might as well replace the bushings and hardware.
