Fronts are a little tougher than the backs...need to loosen the mirror bolts from the inside (behind tweeter cover) and a small retaining screw at the back but that's about the extent of the difficulty. They have little plastic hooks that just need to be "unlatched" and then it just lifts/slides back.
There's a couple YT videos on it.
There are cheaper dealer options out there, there's a new on on Ebay for $313 + shipping, and there's used on Ebay as well. Just suggestions.First time in a while I rolled down the driver window and appears the motor is shot and rolling down/up very slowly. I couldn’t find anywhere the P/N for the motor online so had to call the dealer.
8572060130 is the P/N and you can steal this for a cool $560 I found the Cardone version P/N on Rockauto for $62 (82-10001). If anyone has any feedback or experience kindly LMK.
I'd offer its probably not the motor. Make sure you clean the tracks and lube the mechanism. Also check your switches are making positive contact. I thought I had a bad motor, but during troubleshooting discovered the master switch had a poor wire contact at the harness plug. a small bend on the male contact and all was well again.First time in a while I rolled down the driver window and appears the motor is shot and rolling down/up very slowly.

Is this for sure a symptom of the motor dying, or are there other possible causes like window track friction, something slipping, or...?

A quick way to check this is run a hot and ground wire to the motor (it has two wires, polarity switches depending on which way you need it to move). If its still slow with clean tracks and lubed mechanism and a full 12v, then it is your motor. If hot wiring it is full speed, you have a poor continuity somewhere.I'd offer its probably not the motor. Make sure you clean the tracks and lube the mechanism.

Why? / When is it necessary to get extended sway bar links? is that for front or rear or both bars?$18 extended sway bar links.
Due to an oil leak, I had to do my passenger side valve cover gasket and as luck would have it, three of the bottom bolts broke. After two hours of drilling and lots of patience I was able to remove the bolts and had the wholes re-threaded to the OEM size 6mm x 1.00. The new OEM bolts fit perfectly.
It's done when you do a lift, plus the bushings in my front links were worn out. I didn't notice a difference in handling. I came across a couple posts claiming that some from flex is gained by running the longer links once lifted but there was no articulation measurements or pictures to back that claim up. The ones I posted are for the front but there are options for the rear as well. I removed my rear sway bar so I don't need longer links for the back but will do them if I ever put the rear bar back on.Why? / When is it necessary to get extended sway bar links? is that for front or rear or both bars?
Suspension lifts change geometry. Putting the geometry back to how it was designed will give better results.Why? / When is it necessary to get extended sway bar links? is that for front or rear or both bars?

Did you lift yours by moving the sensors or a different way?Suspension lifts change geometry. Putting the geometry back to how it was designed will give better results.
I'd like to see some proof as well. My suspension is only lifted 3/4" (AHC) but if they allowed for more travel without binding on compression I'd get some.

You should read this thread…Received my new OEM Headlights for my '06 LX470... Got them on sale at Bell Lexus in North Scottsdale. The cost for the glass lens version was $332.81 each. Also got around to installing the Ironman 4x4 Recovery Points between the rainstorms we're having out here in California. Not that a Land Cruiser would ever get stuck...
Who should I get to convert to HID Projector Beams? I'm looking at LightWerkz... $1160 though...
