    another windshield molding / potential leak question

    So earlier in the winter I was getting some water on my passenger footwell. Not a ton, but some drops. I assumed it was the sunroof so I used weed eater line to clear the drains. It seemed to fix the issue. Last weekend I replaced my factory roof rack with K9 rails and load bars. I noticed that...

    Heads up - found a way to get a 9% "discount" on an ARB bumper through 4WP

    so ARB stuff never goes on sale due to the manufacturer locking prices at all retailers. Even right now 4 Wheel Parts is doing a site wide sale, but it doesn't include anything ARB. But I found a way to get a little bit (9%) back. 1) You need to be an Amex cardholder. Through the end of January...

    (another) help me pick the right springs thread

    I promise I searched and I've looked through almost every thread I can relating to this. My new to me 2003 LC has some reverse rake and I'd like to correct this for when I head out camping and load it up with more gear. I have most recently come from the AHC world and haven't dealt with...

    New Build - The Plum Cruiser - 2003 Black Garnet Pearl

    After loving my 2000 LX470 for the past 5 years (which is for sale), I came across a 2003 Land Cruiser in Black Garnet Pearl that I couldn't pass up. I really liked the AHC in the Lexus, but I really wanted to try the simplicity of coils and springs, as well as the 5 speed trans. Here she is: -...

    SOLD  SF Bay Area: Trail Tailor platform roof rack with mounts for 100 Series (may fit other series)

    I've decided to save some weight and use load bars instead of a rack to hold my Autohome tent. Thus, my Trail Tailor rack is for sale. Located in the East Bay Area, California. I've had the rack for about 3 years and it's been great. I had it custom made from Trail Tailor and it's very solid. I...

    Door rattle driving me crazy

    so I have a mysterious rattle that I can't figure out. it seems to be coming from the pillar between the front and rear door on the passenger side, but is now also starting to do it on the driver side too. It's "heavy" enough of a rattle that when you hold the oh sh**t handle you can feel it...

    LX470 Fridge / drawer build

    Last night I completed stage 1 of my drawer / fridge setup in the back of my LX. Thought I'd post it up here in case useful for anyone. As much as I like the utility of having two drawers, I didn't like how people mount their fridge way up on top of everything. So I went with one side fridge...

    Rear caliper rubbing wheel weights?

    So I installed StopTech rotors and pads on the rear of my '00 LX470 They've been great, however I'm getting a light clicking sound from the left side that increases with speed. It never did this before. I took and look and I think my caliper might be touching the wheel weights that are stuck...

    low profile roof tent rack / bars

    Hi guys I currently have a Trail Tailor roof rack that I used to have my soft shell Tepui tent mounted to. Worked great. I recently picked up a Maggiolina hard shell and am wondering if there's a lighter way to mount the tent to the roof. I would prefer to not use any of the plastic factory...

    Trade  SF Bay Area - 100 Series Trail Tailor Expo roof rack

    Hey guys, I have a Trail Tailor expo rack that I absolutely love. I had it custom built last year with a thicker exterior bar. It was awesome for mounting my soft shell Tepui tent and still having the basket section in the front. However, I recently bought a hard shell tent that is much...

    Maggiolina Roof Tent mounting on Expo Rack

    so I was hoping to get the combined wisdom of the Mud community to here to help me figure something out. I have a rack from Trail Tailor that I love. As you can see, it has the kind of expo style basket in the front. I just bought a lightly used Small Maggiolina Extreme hard shell tent...

    2000 LX470 issues - weird mechanic diagnosis

    Hey guys - sorry for the long read here but I'm a little stumped. I bought my 2000 LX470 about a year ago with 213k on the clock. I'm now at 222k. It's fairly stock other than 33" Cooper ST Maxx and a Trail Tailor rack / Tepui tent. Here's a pic of a recent trip: Maintenance I've done in my...
