    LX450 Newbie - Intro thread

    This was my reasoning exactly - if we’re getting into the weeds to put in lockers, we might as well re-gear now if we know we will eventually go up on the tire size, which I think will give us more confidence on tricky stuff and a smoother ride in the desert. I totally agree with the sentiment...

We...

    Finally in front of a computer and can search - this is the sound: so now I'm after those spindle bushings and / or grinding bearings. I'll post an update when things develop in case anyone is interested in learning what happens to your front axle when you don't screw your suspension on.

    Ah good to know! It started doing it at seemingly random times of deceleration and now it has gotten very bad and happens every time I let the gas off at low speed (under 45), if I brake it doesn’t happen, just coasting deceleration. It doesn’t sound like rubbing anymore, now it sounds like...

    Gah - to add insult to injury the “rubbing” noise got better when I got the nut and bearing on but got a lot worse throughout the day today and now is a loud grinding that happens every time I decelerate. Thinking maybe the wheel bearing on the passenger side has gone, trying to get home...

    Well guys - Mystery solved when we heard a loud clank and a bunch of parts fell out. Turns out the shop cross-threaded the top bolt on the left front shocks and didn’t even bother screwing the nut all the way on. The whole bushing came out on the road and my guardian angel made sure we found all...

    It looks like the source of the clacket is that the steering stabilizer is bottoming out and hitting whatever the bar is thats directly behind it. Maybe time for me to learn what a castor is?

    What seems like air rushing into the gas tank - that's not good? I figured that it was a good sign that the fuel system was sealed to air (as gas burns up, there should be a displacement of air) but this is literally based on a kindergarden understanding of my fuel system :-/

    LX450 Newbie - Intro thread

    Oh this is awesome. Most of these make me feel better because apparently I got away pretty good. My headlights are super bright, the gas cap makes a sucking noise every time I fuel up, my antenna goes up and down like a champ, all my tires are the same 265s, and the valve cover gasket means no...

    On the seat swap, you mean replacing the whole seat? How do you know which would be compatible? Thank you for this advice - super helpful

    Hi everyone, Starting a thread on my very first truck. Got this LX450 a few weeks ago on CG from a tip-off here (thank you!) and am in the process of baselining it. Have a few questions that I would love to pose to the group, apologies in advance for my ignorance. All the photos are the way it...
