    Sell me on a 470

    Sounds to me like you need a $4000 minivan. My coworker has been trying to kill his dodge and he can't do it. $900 a month for a vehicle is absolutely insane. I would not advise financing a 20 year old vehicle either. Find something you can buy with cash and put that money away for something...

    Build Gerry's Build thread: "If it happens again I'm buying an Abrams"

    Did you get the rebuilt cluster from Tanin Auto Electronix by chance? Looking at a rebuilt one myself and wondering how the transaction went.

    Bouncy rear end LX470

    Thanks for the replies. I will check my graduations when I get a chance. It seems like probably a globe issue. The system functions fine and the ride isn't awful but not as smooth as I expected. This was a one owner vehicle, an old couple, so I doubt it was sensor lifted. But maybe poorly...

    Bouncy rear end LX470

    Just wondering if the stock springs are normally this way and I should be considering a small upgrade or if new OEM springs would solve this? Or maybe this is a wore out globe issue?

    Should we get a LX470?

    Or a long bed pickup with a topper. The only people I know that have that many dogs run a sled dog team. They have a pickup flatbed with a bunch of kennels on it.

    Bouncy rear end LX470

    Good Morning, I have a 2004 LX470 that I purchased in May. It currently has 137k on it. Slowly working through baseline items. One thing I have noticed is, whenever I put any weight in back (even sit on the tail gate) the rear suspension compresses a fair bit, with the vehicle off. This is my...

    Ignition Switch rod replacement before it breaks ...

    What about buying a new OEM rod and filing off the steering lock tab? Has anyone ever done that? That way you get a new beefier rod and no steering lock to mess with. Or pull out the original and file off the tab and reinstall it?

    Advice needed - best undercoating/rust protection? Moving to salt air.

    Ticking time bomb TICK TICK TICK: Spark plugs Alert Alert Alert!

    Another data point for this thread. I went in a replaced my plugs (original I believe at 135k) and I had 3 plugs that were loose. One had backed out and seized, leading to the coil plug being very brown and cracked. It had not failed yet but certainly was close. I had no sounds or symptoms.

    What have you done to your 100 Series this week?

    If service has not been done, I don't think you can be "too far past" to do it. It still needs to be done.

    What have you done to your 100 Series this week?

    I completed a complete interior detail (minus carpet shampoo) on my new to me 04' LX 470. I found a little rust spot under the weather stripping on the rear hatch. Anyone have a favorite rust converter?
