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 am curious on just swapping the (4) stock OEM shocks with bilstein 5100s if it will improve the ride. Keep factory air bags and coils but only swap out the stocks. Will it ride better?
Okay so I have a factory suspension and yesterday I purchased:
Bilstein 5100 front & rear with new bushings
Metal tech 4x4 factory height front springs
Metal tech 4x4 stage 3 rear coil conversion kit factory height
I didn't want to lift the truck but I wanted to delete the air bags and replace...
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 found a guy on offerup that took off his factory bags, front coils with struts and rear shocks at 120k miles. He is only asking $180 for all of it so...
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...
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...
As the title states, I have both. My GX is stock but its my favorite color combo...pearl white with tan interior in excellent condition and perfect dealer records. It has 122k miles.
The FJ is an 08 with a lift and I added mud terrains with TRD Pro wheels and all the trail accessories. Its...
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...
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...
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"?
So I have the 2008 with tan/ivory seats but lexus discontinued the ivory mats that came with the suv. The only ones they could get was the brown ones. Please let me know HONESTLY what you guys think about the brown ones I put in today (Since it was the only one lexus could get). I don't want to...
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...
