    Replace factory alternator as a preventive step?

    My 2008 has the original alternator after 122k miles and it works great. Anyone here change theirs out before it gave them issues? Curious if it is a waste of money or worth doing. Thanks,

    I went for an oil change today and my mechanic told me I have a leaky front driver shock. (Also my GX has 122k miles with original suspension).

    I am new to aftermarket suspension stuff but I noticed my airbags are old and my front shocks are damp/humid which means they are probably done. My question is...I don't want to lift the vehicle but if I bought Bilstein 5100s and kept it on the factory setting and bought OME springs for the...

    Isn't the GX470 essentially the same vehicle as a 2006 Land Cruiser?!

    I looked up the specs on the 2006 land cruiser which happens to have stupid insanely positive reviews as you would expect. But it has a 4.7 v8 and a 5 speed auto. Isn't that the EXACT same powertrain as the GX470? So in theory, isn't the GX as reliable as a LC that will last 500k miles? I didn't...

    Humming noise from engine during start up and acceleration?! HELP!

    My vehicle turns on and drives great but sometimes when I turn it on I hear a humming noise that shouldn't be there. Also, when I get on the highway and get on the gas I notice the humming noise again. It almost sounds like a computer humming if that makes sense. When I let go of the gas, it...

    How do you know if it is time to replace rear factory air bags?

    I just bought a 2008 with 122k miles and the dealer said the rear bags may need to be replaced. I have been driving it with no issue or sag. How will I know if they ever need to be replaced? I will never raise or lower the vehicle so I was wondering...And no I don't ever want to replace bags...

    122k Miles...Would you change transmission fluid?

    Nothing wrong with the vehicle but being an 2008 with the original transmission fluid, is it a bad idea to drain and fill the transmission fluid? Can it cause any potential problems since lexus claims it is "lifetime fluid"?

    Steering Wheel Faded/Worn? Options?

    So the wood on the steering wheel is perfect but the leather is worn/peeling and just plain looks ugly. I was going to have my interior painting guy check it out to see if he can sand and paint it. Is this even possible? My car is an 08 and aside from this is in beautiful condition inside and...
