    LX to GX - First Time GX Owner

    Hello all, Went from a 99 LX470 to a ‘10 GX460… Picked her up this morning in Florence, AL from a dealership in “as is” condition for under $18k. She’s got a clean title and 144k miles and has only ever been serviced by Lexus. Test drive went well, no overheating or running hot, good oil on...

    SOLD  Huntsville, AL : '99 LX 470 Base - River Rock Green Mica

    Hello folks, I do not want to nor do I have to sell my truck so I'm just testing the water. She's been good to me since purchase in 2020, has never left me stranded, is an easy vehicle to work on and would definitely be missed. I would much rather trade for a pickup in similar condition (4x4...

    Steering Rack or Transmission?

    I've been nursing a slow PS fluid leak for a few months - topping off when low every 30 days or so. Driver side rack/tie rod boot has been torn a little but not leaking. No noticeable leaks underneath the car at last oil change 5,000~ miles ago (2 months ago). No other issues known. All other...

    Steering Rack Boot

    Hey! Figured out my steering rack boot on DS is split. Haven't been able to find any threads on replacing the boots. Is it just taking off the wheel/hub/etc., detaching the TRE and slipping on/off the boots? "While I'm in there" I guess I should do front wheel bearings, breaks, and rotors? Hope...

    Battery Terminal Won't Come Off

    This is the absolute most ridiculous thing. I go to replace the positive battery terminal with an OE replacement (shouldn't be that hard, right?) To be clear, it's just the actual connector between the battery nodule and the small relay. It WILL NOT come off. I've shot it with PB and WD even...

    About Time at 239

    TB/WP service was done this morning at my local and trusted Firestone along with a new fan bracket (original was totally shot). If cam seals aren't leaking and look fine, should those be replaced too? Because that was not part of their procedure this morning. They replaced the belt, tensioners...

    Check this out

    Found this while at work going through some old case files. Thought maybe some folks would like to see how much an old FJ cost back in the day. Sitting next to a CJ and a Branco! Can anyone tell if this was expensive back in the day?

    Local Mechanic vs. Certified Mechanic $$$

    Hello all I'm in the process of finding a local mechanic to do the TB/WP service on my 99 LX. Found a guy, never met him nor heard of him until a close friend of mine (not a cruiser guy) mentioned this guy was comfortable doing the service. This local mechanic does not have a business, cannot...

    Broke Down - Drive Shaft

    Lately, I've been greeted each morning by an abandoned Jeep Liberty sitting on the shoulder of the Downtown exit off of 565 East. I'll try to snap a decent photo of it soon but the site of it makes me wanna re-grease my drive shafts. The back-end of it's main drive shaft is lying beneath it on...

    Brake Noise - What could it be?

    Hopefully not in need of a new brake booster but I feel like it'll be sooner than later...... Since purchase of the 99 LX it's made some odd noises and vibrations on the brake pedal. Doesn't matter how fast or what RPM or anything.. if sitting idle or moving at any speed under 65mph, pump the...
