Figured I’d document, compare, and contrast my observations while owning both trucks.
Background- I’ve owned 2 100 series trucks, a 200 series lx570 from 2015 and and just purchased a 2017 lx570 with 70k miles on it.
2015 lx570- I’ve owned since 2019. In the 4+ years I’ve put 60k miles on...
Well, I bought a 2nd lx570. 2017 1 owner with lots of servocr history from the local Lexus dealer. Thought I’d log in and see what past issues the previous owner had, and plugged the vin into my Lexus website. No dice.
Lexus app stated previous owners history is private. 🤔. Anyone else...
Man, I wish I did this sooner. I did the same thing on my lx 470, so I decided to love on my lx570 driver side front belt.
I unbolted the seatbelt from the b pillar. Easy access, and I believe I used a 14 mm ratchet. The belt was nasty, so I hit it with some shout stain remover.
I then...
The recent rash of cat thefts is extremely alarming. Luckily, I usually park my truck in a garage, but I’m worried about being far from home and dealing with a cat theft. Would the auto lower function make it harder to access my cats?
Snow means possibility of getting stuck. I have a nice recovery strap on board, but I’m curious on recovery points. Front. Rear.
The obvious rear recovery point is the tow hitch. Should I carry a tow ball hitch? Install aftermarket recovery point? Carry a d-ring for attaching?
Also, the...
If this is the wrong place to post this, I apologize. I recently stumbled on the Apple air tags. They sell for $30 each, aprox the size of a quarter, and can connect to any iPhone via Bluetooth. I have hidden them in my cars, as well as my golf cart. They work really well and send updates to my...

Hey guys, truck has 77k miles on it. The stereo is making a weird grinding noise. Kinda like it’s trying to shuffle a cd or something. Thoughts? I have the video but can’t post it.
Im interested in getting a 40 gal LR tank in my 200. also looking at a rear slee install. what shops are local and can tackle this? Been thinking about ACC down in ATL, but logistics would be a pain.
my 2015 LX has the smaller width roof rack. Im worried that if I put a big honking SUP on it, the lack of width between the posts will be a problem? how do I solve this? Also, any way that I can open the rear hatch with a board on the roof? thanks!
Who is doing em on the 5.7? What oil are you using? Filter? I’m partial to Mobil products and want to go 10k miles between changes. Anyone have the oil filter code for the Mobil extended performance in the 5.7? Thanks!
Man, with my car wash shutting down ive upped my game on washing my own vehicles. Ive been utilizing a foam cannon on my power washer. Been using turtle wax car wash that I cut at 75% with water.
What im finding is my car is shedding dirt and grime much better. Car stays clean AF. Drying...
My new to me lx570 has a belt squeal. It doesn’t happen when outside temps are below 60degrees. After that, it becomes annoyingly loud. Truck has 58k miles on it and I’m the third owner. Questions:
-is the belt covered under warranty?
-could it be a belt tensioner?
I have a date w Lexusdealer...
Picked up some 18inch lc wheels and I’m going to sell my 20’s with brand new yoko tires. Rims are 8 out of 10.
what should I ask for 5 wheels and tires?
Can I swap my tpms sensors from lexus 20's wheels to toyota 18's? Also, what types of warning/ chimes happen when you run wheels with no TPMS sensors.
I hate warning lights/ TPMS warnings. Thanks!
