While in the middle of restoration on my 2000 LX470 someone totaled my car out on the street overnight in hit and run fashion. I have decided to wait on getting a truck and have a ton of parts available for sale...
Hey Everyone,
My LX470 was totalled out recently as someone hit it on the street, and have an entire interior of everything and anything found on the inside for sale. I am located in the greater Pittsburgh, PA area, so can meet in person or can arrange to ship parts to you. I have pulled all...
Hey everyone,
I went on a drive out to the mountains this morning and when I was about to pull into a rest stop I heard a grinding coming from the rear upon applicaton of brake.
It turns out that one of the 2 bolts that hold the rear, passenger side caliper to the axle fell out somehow, I...
Awesome, I will do just that.
Should that get to the heater core as well? Any advice on the Heater T's and hoses? I just did those right before this situation, but I am wondering if it will impact it at all...
Hey All,
I am going to be doing a larger post with my entire situation surrounding the unfortunate circumstances ( quick hint: Denso radiator from Amazon fulfilled by Parts Geek) that led to the thing you never ever want to see:
Long story short, I have done a few things to get past this...
Hey everyone,
I am in the middle of replacing my transmission due to the strawberry milkshake of death situation, literally typing this with blackened hands of grease and oil, and I am pressed for time in order to get this car off of a shared lift.
I am in need of a new transmission oil...
Hey All,
I am getting ready to swap a transmission into my 98' LX 470, I unfortunately was dealt a blow with the strawberry milkshake of death ( radiator failing and pulling coolant into the transmission) when I installed my Amazon.com purchase Denso unit a few months back. I have not written...
Thank you - that is great advice and got me thinking about getting it into the back of my truck -- what are we talking weight-wise in order to lift it? Any advice there in terms of moving around?
@128keaton This looks great - I do have a few quick questions for you regarding the grunt of the work --- I am in process right now of having to replace my transmission, as my radiator failed and pulled coolant into the transmission causing the strawberry milkshake of death.
I am going to be...
Transmission condition? I recently had a case of pink death when my radiator went out. How many miles on it? What price are you asking if available ? Thanks!
Exactly, and you can snag a good used unit for as low as $400 if you know where to look. A big undiscovered market is craigslist since you’ll find the low level dismantlers and people who are parting out a former family vehicle. Spend your time shopping around but if you are patient you can get...
Also, would starting the engine and letting it sit to charge mess with the anything related to the actual brake system? The reason I ask is that I recently replaced many things on the brake system, the front lines, calipers, etc. and lost a ton of fluid in the process. I have topped off my...
Hey Ya'll,
I am in the process of bleeding the brakes on my Lx470, but I have a bit of a problem: The car has been sitting for such a long time that the battery died.
As I understand many folks are bleeding their brakes with the ignition set to the "On" position, but for me to be able to do...
This is interesting, as I am in the process of doing a full gut and replacement of the entire system much like yourself.
I’m curious, since you’ve probably had much time to really thing about the situation, do you think that your mechanical predicament of doing a AHC delete truly caused the...
I am mostly writing this to keep myself accountable, but I have been working through some trouble spots on my 98 LX470 sitting at 380K miles. Last weekend I ended up building the courage to tackle the timing belt and strip down the engine. When I bought the rig it was owned by a gentleman who...
Hey, I know I am coming a bit late to the party but could be valuable stuff for others that are in the same boat, and who probably are coming to this forum asking these questions. Inevitably, our rigs are getting old so parts like these are going to be big needs, but if you have spent any time...
I did this too, my question for you is this: How did you reach up to finally finish torquing the bolt on the rear shock? I bought Bilstiens on all 4 corners and the OME coils, but I will say reaching up to get it to torque spec was such a mess with no room..
ABSOLUTELY, haha. Honestly, with the condition of some of the streets ( which blows my mind, since there are more potholes and metal plates than Flint Michigan) we might as well be wheeling in East Atlanta. I know I do some rock crawling on Memorial on a daily basis. Looking forward to linking...
Thank you first and foremost for the thoughtful and extremely helpful post; I am going to trace this after I get home from work today and will post an update for everyone watching this forum.
I didn't realize that the lines would be that expensive, but I love your suggestion to take it to a...
