Were $300 OEM FDS ever a thing in the history of the LC100? And I thought $400 awhile ago was a good deal!

The sale has already begun at Lexus. 100 Series FDS at approximately $400 for price competitive dealers.

I have a Sienna 2nd gen and Araco built 2000 LX (garaged mall crawler). I can say they ride very differently and the panels are fitted to tight tolerances at every detail with the Araco LX. From frame to body to the plastic mounted pieces it was built right and there isn’t a vibration problem...

If you're referring to whistling noises at high speed and have a correctly or factory installed windshield, its mostly from the front doors. The 06-07 door weatherstrips seem to seal tighter. The rear door weatherstrip sitting next to the B pillar also helps tremendously. If it's noise from the...

Chances are, you need no more materials than new washers/snap rings, oil seal, the axle grease cap and squeezing out air pockets between the axle, steering knuckle, rotor after the bearing repack. (edit: add the hub flange paper gasket to the list) If the bearing has just 50k of service and is...

You'd have to strip the wheel down to the spindle and work your way backwards. Inspecting the following in the process while repacking the wheel bearings: -Brass needle bushing in the steering arm assembly -Bearing hub oil seal (Replace) -FDS snap ring gap (Replace) -Claw washer - probably...

UCAs Impex LCAs from Lexus/Toyota when they’re running huge discount through Dealerships running SimplePart catalog system. The shipping weight for LCAs are >22lbs but UCAs are extremely lightweight.

If the truck is garaged it is well protected from UV damage when parked that does extend its service life. At 24 years, my factory radiator’s plastic is still good ol’ black and completely solid. It isn’t anything like the heater tees turning brown when the polymers have leached out of its...
