    For sale is my 06 LX470's OEM steering wheel. It has the grey leather on it, although it has some wear. I ended up buying another steering wheel and sending it to Craft Customs to be re-wrapped (for $300)... This one is no longer needed. The wood grain and lacquer is perfect so it could be a...

    Alternator about to go out on 06 LX or something else?

    Hey folks, Wife came back in the 2006 LX (195k miles) yesterday and it sounded off - a kind of higher pitched whine associated with revs. Drove it myself and on startup it was there but it went away when it warmed up. Happened again today when cold and took a video. When I was driving around...

    Refinishing LX '06-07 standard 18" wheels to OEM look?

    Hey folks, I'm on a mission to bring my '06 LX back to looking like new and next up are the wheels. They're a bit faded and I think they've been sprayed in the past. I was wondering if anyone's refinished theirs and if so what did you use? I'm hoping to get back to the stock finish which I...

    As preventatitive maintainence I decided to renew some of my AHC system on my 2006 LX with 195k miles.

    AHC LX stopped working after globe change & possible air in system

    Hey folks, Decided to take on my globe change yesterday as they arrived from Impex in record time (about $500 all in, 2 weeks).

    Suspension refresh on 2006 LX470

    Hey crew, I'm getting back in to a bit of wrenching and want to refresh the suspension on my 06 LX470 with 195k miles. From what I can tell it's had a fairly easy Californian life, the AHC still works fine and the ride is decent although I don't have much to compare to. I've inspected the...

    06 LX470 TPMS fix

    Hey folks, Perhaps the only issue with my relatively new to me 06 LX 470 was that the TMPS light was on (solid) and the previous owner told me that it was an expensive fix. When I took it to have the t-belt the garage suspected that it was due to low pressure in the spare and much to my...
