    Apparently I need to replace my RH control arms

    So my truck fell off the jack (see the “what did you do” thread for details) last Friday, and this Wednesday it started squealing and squeaking really bad. Any time the passenger side flexes or compresses you can hear it. There’s a separate noise, like a scrape, every time you turn the steering...

    What have you done to your 100 Series this week?

    Got a story to tell and remind me not to be stupid… Rotated my tires and replaced all my lug nuts. Found two tires with nails, so I pulled the small one, hoping it wouldn’t have a leak… but it did. That meant the other one became the spare, because I was down to one plug in my kit, So I plugged...

    What have you done to your 100 Series this week?

    Picked up a MORRFlate air compressor because the Craftsman 12v one we bought had to be returned the next day. The Craftsman (which we bought the day of our trip) took over 40 minutes to inflate four tires from 12 to 30 PSI. My wife finally understood what I was telling her about needing a good...

    What have you done to your 100 Series this week?

    That’s exactly the part number I used. The mom & pop exhaust shop (literally a husband wife operation) tried telling me that I only needed one per side until I showed them the fully fabbed part that just bolts in for over $900 per side. Then she said that their tech data was probably wrong, it...

    What have you done to your 100 Series this week?

    Finally replaced the catalytic converters after owning this nearly two years. Used four weld-in Magnaflow units ($700 with a 10% discount) and the shop cut the old units out leaving the bolt flanges connected so the new ones can be removed if ever needed. only cost $300 in labor. FINALLY NO...

    Had mine replaced a couple weeks ago. The mechanic said that he disassembled the rack to get it into place and reassembled it to avoid raising the engine.

    What have you done to your 100 Series this week?

    Got mine back from the shop Tuesday after they did the rack and pinion and the valve cover gaskets. I replaced the hood struts, fog lights, and cabin air filter today. Planning out the cat replacements since I can’t afford OEM right now. Also planning a trip to Hurricane Creek off I-40 for...

    What have you done to your 100 Series this week?

    I don’t have a garage, just a driveway. And it’s been going between cold and raining. I am also disabled and can’t do the physical labor like I used to… good days and bad days. But this can’t wait for a good day to coincide with good weather.

    What have you done to your 100 Series this week?

    If you Jack up your front end and turn the wheel, the whole steering rack will shift in the mounts. It’s not supposed to do that. I have 343,000 miles, so I guess it was only natural that it should’ve worn out at some point. I try to hit a trail every 30 days or so. I don’t tackle the big rocks...

    100 series grille

    I will try to get that his fall. Doing the entire R&P and valve cover gaskets this week, and need both catalytic converters. But this grille is something I really want. I might even sell my Martin Custom Shop guitar to get it,

    100 series grille

    Man, if there’s ANY way to do a full front grill for the LX470 that would let us use 7” and 5.75” rounds instead of the old cloudy factory lights, you’d have gold! I’d pay a premium for sure.

    What have you done to your 100 Series this week?

    Neither of the two shops I go to will try, and nobody else can get me in to even make an assessment. It’s my only vehicle, so the repair needs to get done. In the end it’s ok, I have just under 350,000 miles on the original rack, and we’re going to do the tie Rod ends too, just to get them done...

    What have you done to your 100 Series this week?

    Found out today that they can’t get the old bushings out of my Rack & Pinion without removing the entire rack, and outsourcing to a machine shop. It is basically the same cost at that point as buying a whole new rack from Lexus. And it turns out that this is one of the few things that is...

    What have you done to your 100 Series this week?

    Thankfully, my rack isn’t leaking. Since this is my DD, and only vehicle for my wife and I at the moment (after selling the Passat TDI to my son for work & college), I have to get ir repaired fast. Ordered the bushings direct from SuperPro, since they give a generous military discount, and got...
