Looking to upgrade to this grille:
53101-60380 (53101-60380 Genuine Lexus Grille, Radiator - https://www.lexuspartsnow.com/parts/lexus-grille-radiator~53101-60380.html)
It's advertised for: 2005-2007
I have a 2003 LX470.. I believe this is the part designed for it:
53101-60290 (53101-60290...
Honestly, I just like the look of a lifted truck. I use my truck as a daily driver and have gone overland camping just a handful of times.
My main concern with the AHC sensor lift is (in order of concern):
1. The CV axles will be operating at a greater than designed angle (especially at highway...
I love the AHC but also want to do a lift without stressing the CV axles.
Would a lift using the diff drop, while keeping the original AHC work? I don't fully understand how the drivetrain is attached to the chassis - but thought I'd ask :)
Thank you
Wow, well, I'm happy to hear you got it done correctly!
Out of curiosity, what was that discussion like with the insurance company?
Were there key phrases you had said regarding the screws vs rivets?
I'm worried the inevitable conversation with the insurance company will be with someone on...
@suprarx7nut @CruisingSned
Ahh good point about the rust... I'll ask the dealership if that's possible or how much it would cost.
If the previous installer used screws, how does one switch back to rivets?
The Geico insurance I have states:
Free - repairing of chips
$750 - OEM equivalent glass
This includes glass and moulding and $40 / hour of labor (they wouldn't tell me how many hours that was).
This is the quote from the Lexus dealership... Since I have to pay the $750 deductible anyways, I...
Hello! Got a chip that turned into a 10" long crack within 2 days. I suspect something about the Texas summer heat + the super cold A/C I had blasting during a road trip.
Got lucky, and Geico said Safelite did not have the 2003 LX470 glass in stock in my area, and therefore approved OEM glass...
Been working on a project to quieten the interior of the vehicle... so tracking down anything that can possibly vibrate.
Does anyone have favorite organizers that they put in the center console area? Typically carrying sunglasses, garage opener, pens, wallet, etc.
Got it open.
It was a golf ball rolling around in the back seat that's been driving me crazy!
Note:
2x screws on sides (pay attention to length, as they are different sized screws
4x screws on the cloth side (back side hinge of seat)
Those are the only 3 sides of screws you need to take off...
One of these fell of when I was trying to update the door lock motor.. Does anyone know where I can find part drawings to search through and by chance know the names of these parts?
Thank you
For me, about a week after I ordered there was a 2nd email saying the package arrived to their warehouse. Then they asked for me to select and pay shipping and estimated tariffs to the US. A few days later I received the package to Texas.
"So next up was the GTR Carbide 2 LED at $30.00 a pair and these also produce 1200 lumens each. They were plug and play and produce amazing light."
@Luke111 So these get your stamp of approval? If so, will order them!
Since my 2003 doesn't have a backup camera, it'd be good to help signal I'm...
