    SOLD  1985 FJ60, Vortec powered: $39,900 OBO

    We bought this 1985 FJ on BAT at the beginning of the summer: Bring A Trailer Auction It was everything I hoped it would be. Unfortunately my wife put her foot down. Apparently 4 trucks, 2 motorcycles, and 2 sports cars is over the line. So the 60 is on the block. As noted in the BAT posting...

    Electrical issue with LS conversion

    Bought an 85 with 1999 Vortec conversion, tidy work, runs like a top. PO did not install AC compressor as he lives in Oregon. I'm in Arizona, so... I installed the OEM compressor, went to charge the system and everything died. PO used Howell wiring harness for the engine swap. Howell...

    2011 LX570 Bumper Options

    After several months waiting for my new front end armor, CBI Offroad Fab tells me they are withdrawing their bumper from the market. There must be another good option for this truck? Slee says no, Dissent says later model, might fit. Ideas?

    LX470 AHC Service

    Having read numerous threads on this topic, the gist of which was, if your AHC stops raising the truck it's time to pull it and replace with OME or equivalent. I'm here to say at least for my 2004, having the AHC serviced returned the suspension to full working order, and preserved the smoooth...

    Fuel pump sudden death, 2005 LX470

    Have had any number of fuel pumps needing replacement over the years. They have always let me know they are struggling and have given plenty of warning. The local Toyota dealer is a 'friend', they have so far been good about selling us cars and their service writers are more knowledgeable than...

    LX470 Hitch/Ball/Shank

    Bought 2005 LX, it has that odd 'in the bumper' hitch receiver. The spare is right behind it so a normal hitch shank won't fit. Called the Lexus dealer who was like 'Huh?'. Pretty sure there is a Lexus specific hitch shank/ball part. Anyone know the part number? or an aftermarket solution that...

    LX, 3rd row out

    So took out the 3rd row last night, nothing to it, took 15 minutes. Only skinned one knuckle doing it. Did however get a little blood on the headliner, what's a good spot remover. Just kidding. Has anyone tried the 100 series Weathertech cargo liner, for no 3rd row? Tried to get the dimensions...

    New Shoes

    It's a topic which has been beaten to death I know. However when I was searching the forum for definitive information on going up a tire size on my LX, no one really seemed 100% sure. So here is a photo of my LX with the Geolander 275/60/20 They fit just fine, no rubbing at all, even at full...

    Moving up

    Sold my UJZ100 to buy a 2012 GX, a truck which seemed both rugged and very luxurious. Both the hundy and the GX were regular Baja traverlers. Had the GX for 2 years of pleasure, not a single hiccup and only regular oil changes and tires. Just traded the GX on a 2013 LX. I can't get over how...
