1999 LX470 that had a very bad week and needs finished up. Please reference the video for the whole story. My heart is not in this project...I mostly do sports car stuff. If no one takes it as is I'll finish it up this winter and sell it "ready for paint" All the parts are there...I'm pretty...

Would you happen to have photos of these? I think we can work out a good meeting location. My cell number is 316-841-1023. Regards, Frank White

Hello! I'm seeking a set of 18s for my 2009 LX. If anyone has anything in this area please let me know. I'm willing to travel a bit. Regards, Frank White McPherson, KS

Hello! I will grab some photos as soon as I can get them done. I will say that this truck is VERY clean underneath. It was bought new in FL, then passed through a dealer in OK on its way to KS. I have spent a lot of time under the truck, as have both my local mechanics and we're all pleased...

Whoops. 218483 In my defense...it is in one of the full gallery photos. Thanks!

Hello Mudders! Without going into all the gory details, what is being offered here is a 1999 LX470 that due to deferred maintenance (heater T's. I am now the poster child for heater T's) and some bad judgement on a hot day has blown head gaskets. That's inconvenient and depressing, but also...

Carfax and Autocheck are loaded with inaccuracies and missing data. While it’s nice to have it, and the data quality is improving as time goes on, neither are the Gospel truth as to the history of a vehicle. A through inspection is always best. Hard to run from a magnet and paint meter in the...

Thanks for the reply. I have one coming. Also, since there is now a two row LX. If you’re logo senstive you can spend twice as much for essentially the same item with the Lexus logo on it. Part number is: PT908-60180-20

The term ‘genius’ cuts both ways here. What they did was very clever and I’m sure that young people got many hours of enjoyment out of the setup. It doesn’t line up with the use case of a 52 year old empty nester, though. I’ll get some photos around. I’ve removed the gear, but the custom...

Hello everyone! This is going to be a long entry. I apologize in advance. I have a 1999 LX470 that I purchased last summer to replace a 300k Suburban. The history of the truck is that it was bought new in Naples, FL where it lived most of it’s life,and has done stints in Oklahoma and Kansas. I...

How did that rubber mat for the Heritage work out?

Hoovie traded the LX470 for that yellow Hummer H2 if I remember correctly. He's not far from here. If you watch any "Car Wizard" videos a few of my cars have either been featured or appear in the background, including my '99 LX. Tyler has made an incredible business and brand out of "Hoovie's...

I had a different but possibly related vibration issue with my 1999 LX470. The symptom was a high speed vibration (matched engine RPM) at highway speeds. You could kind of notice it at 65mph. A bit more at 70. By 80 you could feel it in the seat cushion and the truck had a maddening droning...

I had this issue on my '99 LX. My wife didn't complain, but would just insist on driving so I got to freeze. Since I had recently changed the cabin filters I started there. Turned out, even though everything looked normal the cover for the filter box wasn't fully seated. At little pressure...

Have you sold the 16” wheels?
