    Is there any other truck out there with a better field of view?

    My Range Rover P38 is a glass box on wheels.

    I was told that you should not use graphite-- try WD-40 instead

    Key/ignition won't turn

    Have you given your cylinder a shot of WD40 or a cleaner/lubricant called Houdini? I was told never to use WD-40 because it gets sticky over time but yesterday I was told by a locksmith I met up with that while Houdini I used is an excellent cleaner it is not a great lubricant, so he also...

    Ignition lock cylinder hanging up

    It turns out they no longer will send keys out of their shops when they cut by your VIN. You have to pick it up from one of their shops- no shops in NC.

    Ignition lock cylinder hanging up

    LC-- That is my current plan--buy and new ignition cylinder, buy a new key using my VIN, bring both to a locksmith and rekey the new cylinder. I live over an hour away from a Lexus dealer so I am hoping I can send/text/JPG the dealer a copy of my title and registration and they will order/cut...

    Ignition lock cylinder hanging up

    I saw that tumbler kit before I posted but was not sure it would work with the inboard style keys where the cuts are down the center of each side of the key. I practiced drilling out the pins on a 1999 LC lock cylinder. I attached photos of the '99 lock cylinder I had to drill and the '99 key...

    Ignition lock cylinder hanging up

    My Ignition lock cylinder has started to hang up. Many times it will not turn from the off position. It is not the steering wheel lock----it appears to be a tumbler issue even with a new key. I pulled the lock cylinder and cleaned/lubricated it with Houdini lock lube. It works much better...

    Hi Louis, FreewayP Louis, Last year I shared with you the photos of the plates I made - but to save Freeway some thread scanning time I am attaching a few of them again. The lights work great--thank you for making the brackets.

    High Mileage: how high is too high?

    As I found after I bought my one owner--Lexus dealer serviced "by the book" --190K miles 470, you need to look closely at the Lexus service records to know exactly how much service was actually performed. Just because it was brought to the dealer at the designated mile marks, does not mean that...

    DIY: Replacing heater hose pipe T's *important*

    I cut two 2 x 4's to fit across the engine bay and then laid a 3/4" piece of plywood on top of them and the front radiator support. I put two bolts into two open holes on the radiator top support to prevent the plywood from slipping forward.

    Premium Gas?

    It seems like we could go around in circles on what octane to use, but if I had not joined this forum and went by what is written in my 2005 LX470 owner's manual--- GAS STATION INFORMATION D Fuelselection: Select Octane Rating 87 (Research Octane Number...

    '99 LX470 Coolant Type?

    Thanks JunkCrzr89. So the shop must have installed red when they did the TB. Well, I will keep it in for a year and dump it and change over.

    '99 LX470 Coolant Type?

    Is there an easy way to determine what type is already in your truck? Not fresh out of the jug- but once drain each type from your radiator. Does used diluted LL red look markedly redder than used Super Long Life pink once you drain each of them out of the radiator. When I bought my '05...

    New Steering Rack, What Else Do I Need to Buy

    I thought by disconnecting the motor mount and jacking up the motor by about 2", you only have to remove is the oil filter to squeeze the rack out. It is on my list of to-do's when my back finally agrees- so I do not have personal experience.

    Toyota Red

    I think a narrator said this during a thermostat replacement video I was watching. He probably misspoke-but it sounded somewhat believable.
