I understand that. What I’m saying is that for the last 20k+ miles this appears to have had the white tabs down, with no apparent negative results. So, I’m just curious if other people have experienced any sort of failure.
Additionally, on close inspection (besides the fore and aft position of...
Interesting, I don’t recall any white tab visible on either side of these, but these got reinstalled exactly as they had come out and didn’t have any issue with leaks, etc. before this project.
Any idea what the difference is with the “white tab up”? It’s all back together and running great so...
You guys weren't kidding... gotta love pulling off the intake to replace the starter. It took about 4.5 hours, and there were a number of connectors with broken tabs and a little dab of RTV. Luckily, they all felt pretty good, but if I start getting intermittent electrical issues, I know where...
Finally getting a few little things done.
OEM positive terminal and cover
Inner driver’s side door handle
Remove unused suspension system pump and reservoir
The guys at Lexus service did the work, so I’m not sure if they used baking soda and water or some other neutralizer. I’ll keep an eye on it from here though and do that if and when I see the development of any more buildup. Do you happen to have a photo of what the stock terminals look like? As...
Thanks for all of this!
Radiator is new as of 2021 and air filter is brand new and installed correctly! I grabbed the VIN from the RH side of the motor – looks like it came out of a 2000 Toyota Land Cruiser.
Also, for the fun of it, here's the invoice of the engine rebuild from 2021. Did they...
Going to do a wipe down of the PS hoses this coming week. I'm always hesitant to put any "sealant" products into these systems. I'm not seeing any significant shortage of power steering fluid, so it must be a really slow leak.
Fresh and sparkly and haven't had the failure to spin issue for 3...
I'll take a look at those tees. I know the radiator was replaced 2 years ago, but not sure if they did that. I read through the forums on that one, and while I appreciate the stainless steel approach, there's something comforting about going OEM for those replacements.
Good call on the wipe &...
Glad I'm in good company with the opinion that it's totally a Land Cruiser (albeit the fanciest one I've ever had).
I'm considering going for the whole ABS/Master/Booster assembly, and then keeping this as a spare on hand for another 150k miles from now...
No AHC anymore with the OME lift in...
Wanted to jump in and say hello now that I'm part of the 100-club errr, umm... the LX470 club. Just picked up this beauty, a 1999 LX470 from Southern California. Has around 283k, but with records of an engine swap/rebuild about 20k miles ago (donor engine allegedly had 120k miles on it). OME...
