Thanks for the reply. My mechanic replaced all of the suspect hoses, the check engine light and VSC OFF light were dark for a week and then they returned as did the P0442 code. Replaced the gas cap.... I dont know what else to try and dont want to go through the winter without the VSC. Was...

2003 LX470 164k miles. P0442 code causing VSC OFF. My mechanic is former Toyota and has tried 3x to track down the issue unsuccessfully. My only concern is driving without the VSC through the winter. Is there anyway to turn the VSC back on if the evap P0442 code is not resolved? Otherwise...

All OEM parts.....

Where are you located? Im in northern Westchester NY.

Hello all, Im hoping to narrow down the best way to treat my LX470 (LC suspension swap) frame, etc for rust. Please advise what's worked for you guys? Thanks Bill

I sourced the Springs, Torsion Bars and shocks from SLEE and also bought a sway bar bushing kit which came with all new hardware. So I have a new suspension...and it feels like it.

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...
