    Wobbly at high speed

    Greetings wise cruiser people, my 99 LX470 with a retrofitted to a 100 series suspension has developed a wobble at high speed. Above 55 or 60 or so. Especially when a wind or a truck comes along.

    Weird oil leak

    Greetings all, I have a 99 lx470 that I just took on a trail from Silverton Colorado to engineers pass. On the way pack I slammed down hard a few times and actually cracked my step up. That’s ok. And it wasn’t THAT hard. I was going pretty slow. But my ACH was shoddily removed and I have...
