    Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor Issue (Help Needed)

    Hey All, Currently in the middle of a trip (in Moab now) and have been having intermittent throttle issues since leaving home a week ago. Today, after a stretch of (very) washboarded roads, my CEL came on and the throttle became totally unresponsive. Shut the truck off, turned it back on a few...

    $936 in labor to install Brake Booster Assembly w/ Master Cylinder??

    Hey All, The time has come to replace my Brake Booster Assembly (I've been getting the dreaded "dying seagull" noise intermittently). Anyway, I reached out to my local shop and got a quote for parts & labor to replace the entire assembly ... The quoted cost for the assembly + brake fluid was...

    Key issues. Screwed by Lexus dealer of is this legit?

    Hey All, So, a few weeks ago I ran my one key through the wash and lost fob functionality. The key still starts the truck, but the fob stopped working. Figured the best / safest way to get this dealt with would be to take it to the Lexus dealer and get a new master key cut / programmed. I was...

    Key fob went through washer / dryer -- now fob buttons don't work. Suggestions?

    Hey All, So I did a dumb thing and ran my key fob through the washer / dryer (2000 LX470). Key fob no longer functions (lock, unlock, panic), but the key itself works and starts the truck. I've tried taking apart the key, replacing the battery, and cleaning what I could with some 90% alcohol...

    For those with K02's ... what is your preferred tire pressure off road?

    Hey All, Just pulled the trigger on some Staun tire deflators to complement my ARB Rapid Deflator. Basically because I'm lazy....and I like the idea of not having to air down each tire one at a time. So, for those of you with BFG K02's, I'm curious what y'all run as your "standard" tire...

    Shop quoted $750 for lower ball joint replacements -- is this right?

    Hey all, Evidently my lower ball joints are in need of replacement (2000 LX470 with 255k miles), and the shop I typically go to quoted me $750 to replace the ball joints including labor. They say the ball joints themselves are pretty inexpensive ($50 each or something like that), but they're...

    Front suspension drops overnight (AHC Question)

    Hey all, I've been noticing that my 2000 LX470's front suspension drops quite a bit overnight (or after a few days sitting). Probably to the equivalent of the 'low' setting. The rear seems to hold its height. When I start it up, the AHC levels itself within just a few seconds and seems to have...

    Trimming Fender Liners = Rust Concerns?

    Hey All, I recently had a set of SCS F5 wheels installed on 285/75/16 tires. Due to the offset of the wheels (+10mm), I had to do the "pinch weld mod" and trim some of the front fender liners in order to keep the tires from rubbing at nearly full lock. I tried to use a heat gun to re-form the...

    Damaged hardline...what does thid go to?

    Hey All, A few months back I had Metal Tech rock sliders installed on my LX470. After getting some new SCS wheels, I realized my drivers side slider was installed too far forward and is now rubbing. So, I took a look at the slider install and realized that they did a pretty s*** job. Not only...

    Cleaning INSIDE of tail-light assembly?

    Hey All, One of my (outer) tail-lights (2000 LX470) has a small crack in it, and with a TON of rain lately, it now has a good bit of water inside of the assembly. It's also a bit dirty and gross on the inside. Eventually, I'm sure I'll break down and buy a new assembly, but in the meantime...

    Is This Normal? An AHC Question

    Hey All, I've got a 2000 LX470 with the original AHC still going strong (?) at 245k miles. I believe the only thing that has been replaced is the front shocks, due to leaking, by the previous owner (done within the last two years). Anyway, I will occasionally cycle through the ride height...

    Front recovery points (with stock bumper). Anyone tried these??

    Hey All, As I'm getting more and more comfortable taking my LX470 off the beaten path and onto some trails, I feel that the time has come to upgrade the factory tow hooks in the front to something that is suited to a recovery should I need it. In the rear, I have a hitch mount with a D-Ring...

    LX 470 ground clearance w/ AHC on HIGH?

    Hey All, I've been scouring the internet trying to figure out what exactly the ground clearance is for the LX 470 (2000 model year if it matters) with the AHC in HIGH. So far I'm coming up blank with a definitive number. What I'm finding out there seems to show stock LX 470 "minimum" ground...

    Does this look like AHC fluid?

    Hey all, I purchased a 2000 Lx470 with 235k miles on it a few weeks ago, and today I decided to do the AHC test to try and diagnose the "health" of the system. Everything with the AHC seems to be working great, and the ride is super cushy. Upon doing the test, it looks like I have somewhere...
