    I Relocated the Head Unit in my LX450

    I installed a new head unit in my Lexus a few years ago, seen here, but I was never really happy with where it was located, so I moved it. You can see the full build here, or in the embed below Cheers

    PSA: Choose the lubricant for the rear brake caliper slide pins carefully

    About 2 months ago, I did a rear brake job on my LX. About 6 weeks later, a grinding noise had started in the rear. I checked it out, and the inner pad on the passenger's side rear caliper was worn down to the backing plate. The outer pad still had full thickness. The rotor had deep gouges on...

    Need help identifying this rear spoiler on a Japanese 80 Series

    These are screen shots from a YouTube video I was watching. I like the look of this rear spoiler. It seems to have 2 adjustable flaps towards the center. Anyone seen this before? Cheers

    Update: Solved! RTH: Reassembling passengers side rear axle after swapping seals and bearings, but axle won't fully seat, something is blocking it

    It looks like something became dislodged while the able was out, and is now preventing me from reinstalling the axle. What is that piece that fell down, as best as you can tell from my crappy photo? Can I realign it without pulling the third member? How difficult is pulling the third member in...

    '96 Thermostat Housing Gasket Part Numbers

    My LX has a slow coolant leak, and it seems to be coming from somewhere on the thermostat housing. My best guess is that the gasket between the thermostat housing and the heating hard pipe on top has failed, because coolant is pooling up on top of the thermostat housing, but everything taller...

    My experience with Discount Tire

    I'm currently enjoying a road trip vacation to Asheville, NC. My new-ish Kumho tires (maybe 2500 miles on them when they were moved from my stock wheels to my new wheels) were mounted on my new Pro Comp wheels about two weeks before I left. I still had some shimmy at highway speeds, but I...

    DIY: Making the Handbrake Less of a Nuisance

    I'm in the process of making a center console that isn't a complete embarrassment. To help facilitate that, I modified my handbrake. Typically, with the handbrake fully engaged, the handle is nearly level with the armrest of the center console. I want it to be much lower, but still fully...

    Replaced the middle row seats in my LX450 with rear seats from a 2015 Audi Q5

    I picked up the seats from a junkyard back in November for $100. I looked into installing them shortly thereafter, but I quickly had to abandon my plan and form a new one. The project sat (heh, get it?) for a few months until I finalized my new plan and put it into motion. You can see the build...

    Anyone with a lift in the Westchester area?

    I want to swap out my shocks and springs this weekend or next, and it'll be far easier with a lift. Both the current and new hardware are stock height, and it's originally a California vehicle, so I don't anticipate any issues. I'll bring all my own tools, and can supply cash/beer in exchange...
