    Airbag question

    Got an airbag question for you guys. I have a 97' LX450. I was wondering if anyone here knows how the airbags are triggered. I just watched a video in another group I am in regarding the Prado / Lexus GX series. He was off roading and changed pitch quickly. Actually going from very tilted to...

    Tire Advise

    Hey all, Currently running 37x12.5R17 Geolandar MT+ (G001's). They have been excellent on trail, both doing simple stuff in the San Juan mountain range, as well as more rough stuff like Moab. However, they are very noisy on road, and tend to wander a bit, and under 20MPH there is much...

    Radius Arm Frame Mount holes

    Been tracking down a click I hear when articulating, stoping, or starting. Finally tracked it down to the drivers side radius arm frame mount. It appears the bolt is able to move around in the hole a little. While trying to determine my ultimate fix for it, I attempted to just tighten down...

    Another insurance question

    So I currently have my built 80 insured through USAA, along with my other "normal" cars. It has full coverage, but I am worried that if it does get wrecked, that I will be bent over and flogged by them for what they want to give me for it. I know many companies will go up if you show receipts...

    Tank pressure in the summer

    I have noticed that when I take my gas cap off to refuel, if the temp is above 75-80 outside, that I will have a lot of pressure exit the tank. I thought there was some sort of vent for the tank to relieve excess pressure. Is this not the case? If it is the case, can someone point to its...

    Ground noise...I think

    Need some help diagnosing an issue. This has been this was since I have had the truck. When the engine is running, I get engine noise in my CB and in my stereo (only while on tuner...USB iPhone connection is fine and CD/DVD is fine). Here is my setup, I am running dual batteries with a...

    Head gasket blew...now to figure out options

    I started my car on Friday at lunch and noticed it hesitating a bit. It was like I had an injector going out or something it initially felt like. I reved a little and it went away and I didnt have any weird sounds so I figured I would drive it home for lunch. All the gauges showed normal the...

    Fan Clutch "tension" cold vs hot

    Hey all, Just wanted to see if anyone had any knowledgable info on fan clutches. This weekend I had to replace my radiator due to a cracked plastic. As such, I had the fan and the clutch out. I took notice that the fan even when cold is pretty tight to the hub. I could turn it by hand and...

    Radiator options

    So the CSF radiator in my rig developed a hairline crack on the lower plastic. I have no idea how, I know it was not hit by anything and I have not overheated it, blah blah blah. In any case, it has to be replaced. I am a cheap bastard and dont wanna pay OEM prices, but I trail it so I dont...

    Engine work time very soon

    So my 97 LX450 has 230k miles on it right now. At about 150k the PO changed the head gasket, but did not do any head work. Due to such, right now I am burning through a quart of oil about every 700-900 miles. I know the gasket is still fine since my coolant looks great, dipstick looks great...

    Noise in FM audio and on CB

    I am trying to figure out what could be happening here. When I have my radio on FM mode, I can hear small "clicks" and a small amount of engine hum. If I turn the squelch down on my CB, I can hear the same on it as well. The antennas are grounded and all the wiring is done correctly. The CB...

    1FZ - Power above 2500 RPM

    tire pressure when off-road

    What tire pressures are you guys running when on the trails? In my previous vehicle...jeep yj and in my friends 88 4 runner, we ran around 16 or so when in the San Juans and around 12 or so when in Moab. With my new to me LX being so much heavier, I was debating running them a few lbs higher...

    Interesting braking issue

    First and foremost, I have not done anything in regards to diagnosis or bleeding or anything yet. These are just my symptoms right now. My neighbor who has a lift and a vacuum based bleeder is out of town so I have yet to do this. Once he is back I will bleed the lines and see if that helps...

    EGR 401 error, VSV is new, but still not working

    I have a new to me LX450. Had a 401 when I got it. The PO just changed out the VSV thinking that might be the cause. With it being out and exposed now, it helped me diagnose a little bit. EGR works fine if I draw vacuum on it directly (engine stalls). I ohm the VSV and get ~36 which is...
