    I have read thread after thread and need to have my windshield gasket replaced - properly. Can anyone recommend a place in the Knoxville- Johnson City area?

    I posted in chit-Chat but wondering if you 80s folks can offer any input.

    I have found a suitable 2005 Toyota 4Runner that I would like to purchase as a 2nd truck that is located in Canada. I have browsed the border crossing information but am still unsure how smoothly it will go. Since you guys are collectively the smartest folks I "know" when dealing with all things...

    Air Lift vs. Firestone "load assist"

    I am going to add air bags to my rear TJM 50mm progressive springs in the rear of my LX. Is there a real difference in the two ( Air Lift/Firestone) other than price? Anyone out there running one or the other that can help me decide which will be a better choice for me? Here is the link from...

    LX450 Seat cushions....

    Lexuspartsnow.com just sent me a message that the LX seat cushions have been discontinued and they cancelled my order. I am getting ready to install Shane's leather and would really like to source new cushions to replace the ones in there while I have everything apart. Anyone have a clue as to...

    4WD Lo question

    What search terms should I use to try to trouble shoot the following: Snowed in East Tn today and I found myself in a situation where I needed to put the LC in lo. I put the truck in "N" and then shifted into "Lo"...no dash lights alerted me that I was actually in Lo. Normally I get the 4...

    Dead battery and question about fittment

    I spent all day yesterday reading through battery threads including Cary's awesome battery breakdown/explanation. Since my Sears store ( and appears to be all Sears stores) and no longer carrying the 34R Platinum, I decided I would try out the Duracell line since my Sam's Club seems to offer...

    Along the lines of the "What has your 80..." threads...What has your 80 towed???

    What has your 80 towed? Weight and distance? What set-up are you towing with? Mine tows a Malibu Wakesetter from time to time and this past weekend, pulled a farm trailer filled with ugly holiday attire in the local parade!

    My LX plan and parts list

    1997 LX450 with 170K on the clock. I have tackled most PM and think I am ready to go on to the next step. I want to keep as much of the Caddy ride in the LX as is reasonable, but I want her to be competent in the situations that she finds herself off the beaten path. This mostly consists of...

    For Sale  2006 Honda Element 2WD

    Trying to thin the herd so I can do some things to the LC that I have been wanting to do. I have it listed on my local - Johnson City, TN - craigslist. I thought I would throw it up here as well. http://tricities.craigslist.org/cto/3963034649.html I would let my 75 yo Mom and 78 yo Dad get...

    Hooked up trailer brakes, now cruise won't work

    I installed a trailer brake unit on my LX and lost my cruise control (turns on, but light just flashes - it will not set). Since I am no longer hauling the camper with the LX, I would like to get my cruise control back. I tried simply undoing what I had done to install - nada; still just...

    Battery consensus...

    My search turned up information that was about a year old. It seemed, from the threads I read, that most have switched from Optima as their go to battery over to Die Hard Platinum. A year later, is this still the case? I have to put a battery in the LX this week and want to do this once...

    1997 LX450 towing questions/input please

    It looks like I am going to keep my LX and use it, not only for my DD, but as my only vehicle sans the motorcycle. I had thoughts of letting her go and getting something that might pull/haul a load better than she can, but I do love the truck and just don't want to sell her! I regularly tow a...

    Your .02 on my LX appreciated...

    I have a '97 LX, locked, with a bit under 157k. I have done PM along with new rad, phh, 100 series rotors/pads (front). It throws the elusive p0135/401 codes which I have not chased down. I really DO love my truck (except when the gas pump shuts off at $75 and it is not full), but i find that...

    Please excuse me - Dumb Question I am sure...

    I have been away for awhile; the truck has been running well and I found that I got myself worked up and stressed when reading the board everyday! I waited daily for my head gasket to blow! I had to take a break. Today, I threw a P0305 then a flashing check engine light with a P0306. I...

    4WD Low - no go...????

    I always like to put the truck in low when I am pulling the boat up the ramp. Ramps in the South East tend to be steep due to TVAs lake level fluctuations. When I went to put the LX in low the other day, she shifted fine, but no dash light. Humm....I went back to N and tried again. Still...

    Found 60 in junkyard - East Tennessee

    Went looking for 80 parts; found a 60. I took pix on my cell phone. Interior with exception of headliner, rear mirror, and dash is gone. I am not sure if it is a cash for clunker car or not. It is close enough to home that I am willing to pick specific parts if anyone needs me to. Exterior...

    catalytic converter question

    I have a 1997 LX450 with 145k. What are the advantages and disadvantages of having/not having catalytic converters sans emmission issues? I have access to the tools I need to remove the cats if I want to. Would one have to do anything more to the LX other than chopping them out and fabbing and...
