    windshield cowl removal

    Drivers nozzle dribbling out, can't seem to get it unclogged. Looks like I need to remove the cowl. Do I just pull the wipers and weather stripping? I don't really see a seam behind the weather strip. I haven't tore into it yet, since I don't have the new nozzle. Thanks in advance Tom

    door courtesy lights help

    None of door courtesy lights come on with the doors open. They all flash once when I hit unlock with the door open, so I know the bulbs are all good and they are getting power. Any ideas on where to look?

    Looking at getting front end done next week, control arms, tie rod ends, figure I might as well do struts at the same time. Everything I've read said fj cruiser, 4runner,tacoma struts all fit, but rough country doesn't list anything for lexus. Anyone verify these will work? Thanks Tom

    Anyone prefer the stock shocks?

    Bought an 03 gx with 295,000 miles, really because my son got me interested and I might have ocd. He got 04 4runner v8. I thought the gx and 4runner were pretty much like chevy vs gmc. There are some pretty big differences I'm finding out. I knew about the air coils, but I thought the...

    Cam Position Sensor change with timing belt?

    Just trying to think of everything that I should change on my 2003 300k miles GX when it's in the shop this week. It looks like the crank sensor can be changed from underneath the vehicle; can the cam sensor be changed without tearing everything back off the front of the engine? I haven't seen...

    Stereo and speaker recs for 2003 gx non nav

    I've got at least 1 blown speaker , and I really like having apple carplay. Crutchfield has several headunits that would work, and even say I can retain steering wheel controls and use the factory amp. I'm guessing my stereo is JBL? Anyone replaced the door speakers? How was the install? Don't...
