    Skid Plate Missing

    I went outside to the mailbox this evening and noticed two strips of foam tape hanging down under the front of the GX. Kneeling down to take a closer look I realized that the front skid plate is now missing. The bolts are gone, they did not break/shear off, and they were not on the ground...

    DIY Aux Input/Electrical Question/Much Excite!

    There are many products available out there on the market, ranging from the ridiculously cheap to the incredibly expensive. I've been using a cassette adapter since the day I brought the truck home, and it has annoyed me greatly. Insult to injury is the Bluetooth telephone capability, but no...

    Chassis Saver

    I'm making a list of things to buy for when I tear into my suspension/steering and one thing that I am considering is a product I found on Amazon called Chassis Saver. I believe it is similar to POR15, and it says it can be applied over rust. Is anyone familiar with this product? I noticed some...

    Power Steering Rack

    Today I finally had a chance to get in the garage and swap out my tie rods and tie rod ends. As soon as I popped the boots off I had discovered they were wet. Fluid is definitely leaking, not a horrible amount, but a leak nonetheless. I would have sworn the loose steering was the tie rods, but...

    Snow and Ice Performance/VSC Disable

    We finally got ourselves some snow and ice so I was able to get out and see how my vehicle performed while taking the wife to work. FWIW, I'm still running some stock-sized Michelins until I get around to swapping my suspension and going up to a larger tire in the spring. On the whole I have to...

    Switch Lamp Replacement

    My defroster works, but the lamp indicating that it is on does not. The same goes for my seat heaters. Are these small incandescent bulbs, or are they LEDs? I hate the idea of replacing an entire switch because a bulb is out!

    Bead Breaker

    I managed to get some rocks and mud stuck in the bead of my tire while very far out in the boonies on a trail ride. Thankfully I had a board to drive up on and break the bead, but if I had left that board at home I would probably have been screwed. While I was poking around wasting time online...

    Leaky Weather Stripping, Tailgate Question

    My GX will sit for a day or two not being driven sometimes, so it took me a couple weeks to notice that it had gone from smelling musty to an outright nasty mildew odor. I checked all over the carpet and headliner but could feel no wet spots whatsoever. I checked the air conditioner drain lines...

    Clattering When Cold

    It was very nice weather this morning so I rolled the windows down before setting off, the noise is still there. It only does it after it has sat overnight, and only when in gear but sitting still, this odd clatter from the front left. The sound reminds me of the sound a tractors PTO shaft makes...

    Center Differential Lock Button Swap

    Is it possible to swap the push-button out for a rotary knob of some sort? Strange question perhaps, but there is a valid reason. This morning the wife managed to hit the button and called me a couple miles from the house saying the tires were squealing when she went around corners and turned...

    Driveshaft Lube

    I have some Mobil1 grease in my gun, and was about to use it on my drive shaft when I change the oil this week, but seem to recall reading somewhere that it calls for something different. Any input? I have always used the same synthetic grease to lube everything, but don't want to just go to...

    Lexus Link Buttons

    My sunglasses won't fit into the compartment and I have no use for those buttons. Today while waiting on the wife to get out of a store I was looking at the buttons and wondered if anyone ever tried to re-purpose them. The harness is right there, so its not hard to find the wires, but getting...

    Axle Shaft Seal Leak?

    For the past week I have been faintly smelling...something...when I got out of the 470. When I finally crawled under there I could see on the passenger side some wetness and from what I can tell it is coming from the differential where the CV axle enters. Best I can tell there is some being...
