    Suburban Transformation! Before and After

    We were COVID refugees from NYC - we left with no car. After it was clear COVID was gonna last awhile we had to get a car - and thus my intro to Cruisers. I wanted something affordable, reliable, and would hold value when I sold it upon our return to NYC. We bought our Lexus LX470 for $11,500...

    FREE  Lexus LX470 Running Board

    I have a running board from my 2003 LX 470 available. It lights up and looks good - normal wear. It is free but you need to cover shipping. I have a big box that should work - my Slee steps came in it - so you just need to pay to ship it and I will get it to you.

    Asheville help needed

    Hey guys - we have a 2003 LX470 that my wife drove to Asheville to visit family. I am worried the catalytic converter on it may be toast. Is there somewhere in town that she could get it looked at on the weekend? I'm worried about her potentially driving it home - two kids with her too.

    Rear passenger floor too hot for feet - help!

    This has never happened before and the rest of the car is performing 100% as expected. However, the floor in the 2nd row on the passenger side is so hot my daughter who sat there could not put her feet down. Any idea what might be going on??

    Basic Offset question - does it matter?

    I am looking to add 18" Method 305NV Wheels and K02 tires. They have the 0 offset available today or I can wait two - three weeks for 25 offset (stock). I am a tire newbie who will use these 90% of the time for daily driving and maybe 10% off pavement. Is there any real difference? If so, what...

    Anyone install this? Ever hear of it?

    I came across this company with rave reviews for their mounting options. But it looks like to install into a 2003 LX I would need to drill into the dash. Anyone install one of these? Thoughts? Reviewers love their stuff, btw...

    Ever hear of this before? All 4 O2 sensor codes being thrown? Lexus dealer said no.

    My truck has the check engine light on - scan shows that all four O2 sensors are bad. Dealer said he never heard of that before and it can't be accurate. Anyone ever see this before?

    Can this be fixed? body side moulding damage

    Truck got side swiped apparently - I am getting rid of the running boards in favor of sliders anyway, so that is ok - but the scratches on the molding are pretty deep. Also a few on the wheel well near the rear bumper. The question is if a body shop skilled in this kind of thing can repair...

    Passing Emissions in GA

    I have the annoying Check Engine, VSC Off, etc. issue on my dash. The code says I need to replace the Oxygen sensor - different thread for that. When I took it in last time the Emissions guy used the code tool and reset the lights, told me to drive 40 or so miles, and come back - no light came...

    Removing running boards - easy?

    My 2003 got side swiped and the running board on the passenger side took a beating. I had been considering taking them off on both sides anyway - is this something a novice like myself can do? Or should I take it to a local shop? Also, I have kids - so if the wife requires running boards any...

    What is this leaking?

    This is dripping slowly with AC on. I assume it's just condensation? How worried should I be? It's under passenger side dash.

    Easy Fix? tear in seat

    The driver's seat split in the middle. Is this an easy fit? The leather around the split is not super soft so it may not be easy to pull back together?

    Advice needed: Oil change and fluid flush

    I have a 2003 with 280K miles. I have used Lexus shop (not dealer) for the past couple of oil changes - they are over $100 out the door. Do you guys recommend only going to a Lexus shop and paying the 3x premium? Or does it matter vs. a chain? Also, how often are folks flushing all the fluids...

    Painting running board scratch

    My wife hit a car and it made a long scratch into one of our running boards (which looked like new). Some of the plastic from the other car I can remove, but any advice on the best way to paint the long, now black scratch in the running board? And removing the running board altogether is not an...

    Why doesn't Toyota do this??

    I read recently where Porsche has created modern touchscreen infotainment options for older 911 models. Given all the talk on here about the antiquated systems - i have a 2003 for example - seems like Toyota should do the same...

    Shops says fix it - thoughts? Price?

    Hey everyone - was at the local Lexus shop (not dealer) getting my oil changed on my 2003 Lexus LX470. I have 273K miles and she looks and runs great. As usual the shop has some recommendations, but since I am novice, and the shop is obviously incented for me to spend more, I thought i would ask...

    Clunk shifting at low speeds

    When I am driving the truck at low speeds - say I am coming up to a stop sign - and I feather the gas pedal - I slow down but not all the way and then hit the gas - kind of a rolling stop - there is a clunking sound. Like the truck is stuck between gears. Is this normal or a symptom of something...

    Strange drivers side (only) window behavior. What is going on?

    Randomly, the driver side window will (on occasion) go do and them immediately go back up. Or when it is all the way down, go up just a bit and then immediately go back down again. If I hold the button down the entire time it will go all the way up or down. What is going on?
