you can get a 200 series tool kit and jack off ebay for $100
Weather has been a bit too cold to do anything on the LX but I have a small pile of parts ready to go.
New rear AHC hard lines
All ball joints
Front transfer case mounts
Power steering flush
Mine was inop too the serpentine belt had cut it, harness its on comes down from the top with two other plugs. You can pull it all up for easier access to solder on your new pigtail
Thanks, you guys make it easy with all the how to’s and videos.
>got one of your key cases, one of the cruisers we checked out before finding this one my wife snapped the key off in the ignition.
Those were there when I bought it, I’ll try to see what they are when I get a chance, they’re really bright.
Tire shop said I needed a upper ball joint so have the related parts for doing all four coming.
Is this Stance?
All new front sway bar end links, bushings and bolts.
Bolts for the large bushing on passenger side were very rusted and a pain to remove all the rest took 10 mins.
Fixed a clunk.
And after doing the front just bought every related bolt for the back.
Pulled the under drivers side dash all...
Cause of the none working oil pressure gauge.
Cut, soldered, covered with heat shrink tubing and covered with a new protective sleeve.
Routed it better so it’s held away from the serpentine belt, and dash all works!!
Headlights or interior?
Plastics all scrubbed in sink to remove spilled soda and god knows what else.
Painted supports with stainless steel spray paint and made a pigtail for rear USB port off the original rear AV wires.
New shifter surrounds and LED backlights for everything.

Center console was missing the blanking plate, cupholders and some of its screws so picked up a back section and new trim screws from Toyota.

Bought a factory 200 series tool kit and jack off eBay, came in a hard plastic case but it fit perfectly in the storage cubby, also got a matching spare out of the ordeal at least it happened at home not someplace I actually needed the spare.
Swapped out the offending lumbar switch.

Something with the serpentine belt was making a bunch of noise so I figured the idlers needed replaced and I was right.
Installed new belt tensioner, idler, and belt.
About this time I...
list of repairs and mods I’ve done or need to do.
First up discovered a exhaust manifold crack on the drivers side, couldn’t hear it with the windows up (that Lexus sound proofing) good 6 hour first project.
Steering wheel was the typical cracked disgusting mess so replaced that with a ebay...
I’d never been to Virginia before it’s a pretty place.
Headlight bulbs have been replaced with some LEDs
Drove till about 3am then slept in the back at a rest stop.
This happens so fast
That day made it to my sisters house in MO and home on Sunday afternoon.
Trip was mostly uneventful...
Proud recently new owner of a 2000 LX470 with 247,000ish miles, figured I’d make a “build” thread of all the repairs/mods.
