    Parents destroyed my antenna...

    My parents destroyed my antenna in a car wash. Do I just need to buy the antenna? Or are any other parts involved? Is this a hard job to do yourself? I found part number 86337-60151. Do I need any other parts? Thanks!

    LX470 Hub Caps Keep Disappearing!

    I bought a 2nd LX470 with slightly less miles recently. It came with a missing hub cap. I bought an OEM one off of eBay. About a week later, the same hub cap was gone! Has anyone had any similar issues? I'm wondering if I should place a few beads of caulking on there along with the retaining...

    I think I messed up my Torsion Bars

    Yesterday I replaced a lower control arm on my 2004 LX470. It was a beat of a job for the noob. Had no idea what I was doing, but I got the job done after about 4 hours! One thing I didn't understand was that I had to loosen the torsion bar to get the last two bolts off the control arm. I...

    Need Lower Control Arm Advice? OEM or Aftermarket

    I'm in need of some new Lower Control Arm Bushings on my front driver's side. I see Amazon sells the whole arm with bushings for about $100. I've read here that some people buy just the bushing for $100. Should I go with the aftermarket arm and bushing for $100? Do just the bushings for $100...

    Would you ever replace your rig with a 4Runner?

    I've been wondering what I will do when my cruiser dies, assuming it ever dies. Currently going strong with 230k. Looking at the new cruisers, I think I'd opt for a new 4Runner as a replacement to my 100 series instead of a 200. Or maybe I'll track down a super low mileage 100 :) Any thoughts...

    Do any of you use chains? If so, when do you use them?

    VGRS Light after Battery Install

    My wife said it took her 3 times to start our 2004 LX470 yesterday. She said the VGRS light came on on her way home and then it went off. I suspected maybe it was due to the heat or a bad battery. Today I had a friend check the battery and it was "weak" so I replaced it. After the battery...

    No AHC Flush Needed?

    I called the closest Lexus dealer with good reviews (Concord, CA) and asked them to price out an AHC suspension flush. MY LX470 has 230k miles. I was told that they don't do the flush unless components break. I thought that was a bit strange. Then I asked about greasing up the front bearings...

    Coil Pack Cracked?

    I just changed my first spark plug and had a bit of trouble getting the coil pack to get back down. Took it out and looked at it and it looked like this: Then I put it in again, still having trouble and pulled it out and it looked this this: Today is Sunday so I think Toyota is closed...

    1st Problem! Are these the T's on the Coolant System?

    Just went to a car wash, and on my way home I noticed the check engine light, VSC and one other light. I heard a strange knocking when at one RPM. I was a block from home so I rushed there and as I pulled up the car died (or I turned it off by instinct- still in shock). Smoke started coming out...

    Blew Blower Motor!

    There was a noise coming from my blower motor so I took it apart. There was a small plastic piece rattling around in there. Problem solved! Then I noticed how dirty the blades were so I put them under a faucet and cleaned them with paper towel as best as I could. When I plugged it back in, it...

    Parts that Leave You Stranded

    I'm thinking about buying a few parts that could leave me stranded. I have a 2004 LX470 with 210k. I'm going to place an order just to be extra safe (even though I know this truck is amazingly reliable). I'm thinking: Thermostat T-Thermostat Hose Coils All Belts (that show any signs of wear)...

    Servicing AHC suspension in the Bay Area?

    I'd like to know who can service the AHC system in the Bay Area. I have no problems so far, but I also have 210k miles so I'm thinking I may have issues soon (knock on wood). I'm also planning on keeping the AHC if it fails. Anything to be aware of as I go down that path?

    Grom BT3 for Bluetooth? Anyone try it?

    I was looking into the USA Spec bluetooth device and then I stumbled across this GROM unit which appears to be newer and also has favorable reviews. Has anyone here used it on a 100 series? I read some people said the USA Spec one has a tingy sound. I have a 2004 LX470 and would like to stream...

    Strange Noise On Occasion When Stopping? Ideas?

    I've had this 2004 LX for one week. So far the verdict is ... Best Vehicle Ever. It was a high mileage vehicle (200k) but meticulously maintained. Every once and a while I hear and feel a strange noise. I think I hear it most when coming to a stop, but sometimes I hear it right as I am taking...

    Just Pulled the Trigger. How did I do?

    I have been searching for a 2004-2007 Land Cruiser for about 4 months. Yesterday, a nice 2004 LX470 popped up for cheap (I thought it was cheap) $13900. The only problem is that it has 200,000 miles. However, it was pretty much perfect. Some rock chips and leather cracks, but that is getting...

    Black Interior Dashboard Lx470?

    I feel like I came across a picture of an LX470 with black interior pieces instead of wood? Was that an option? Or is that something you can do with an aftermarket kit? I might consider a Lexus if I could get rid of all that wood!

    2004-5 vs 2006-7

    I just stumbled across an ok 2004 Land Cruiser for sale without AHC. I was focused on a 2006-2007, but open to 2004-2005's as well. The later cruisers got 40 more hp, and better fuel economy as well as led rear lights. These all sound nice but most came with AHC. I personally think I'd enjoy...

    Is it REALLY reliable?

    I have read and read and read that the 100 is one of the most reliable vehicles ever made. I'd like to know if it's true. I've read around here about misc problems with AHC, not starting for certain reasons. I haven't stumbled on anything major except some early transmission problems and control...
