    2011 Lx570 charging issue help

    So the vehicle is fixed and thank you all for the replies. The battery that was in it turned out to be bad according to the mechanic. He said it would charge to start but only surface charge as he calls it. So the alternator was having to work overtime to keep the truck running and fried its...

    2011 Lx570 charging issue help

    Thank you. It's draining the battery very quickly after just sitting without running so it's headed back to the shop. I'll try and update this in case anyone else has similar issues.

    2011 Lx570 charging issue help

    My wife's Lx has been basically trouble free besides a water pump at 110k miles until a few days ago. It now has 115k miles. She went to start it and the battery was dead. I jumped it, then took it to have the battery tested. Two auto parts stores tested it (possibly a mistake) and said the 3...

    How To: Replace your own steering rack

    Try as I might I still couldn't persuade the coupler to slide into the rack output. So I went topside and removed the 2 bolts from the top coupler at the firewall. Voila! It slid home like butter! Now, I figured out that the lower bolt has a shaft grove it has to fit between, but the top bolt...

    How To: Replace your own steering rack

    Thank you Somebosyelse5. I'm sorry I forgot to mention that I did wire brush the inner splines with a gun barrel brush and put some anti-seize in there to slick it up.

    Slow start now no start

    I'm sorry to hear you having starting problems, I know that's aggravating. There's a good chance I won't know the fix for your ride, but you've piqued my interest. When you say it has "slow start issues" do you mean that it's turning over slow, or it turns fine but takes longer than it should...

    How To: Replace your own steering rack

    Thanks everyone for this thread and all the extra advice. Like most here, I would have had a much more frustrating day without it. One question though, is there a trick to getting the steering shaft coupling all the way down on the new unit output shaft? I did have some trouble separating...

    2011 LX570 Rear Liftgate not lifting on its own

    It definitely is helpful. I ordered the struts off amazon last night for $40. Supposed to be at my door Thursday. Hopefully I can get them on before my wife leaves town Thursday afternoon. Again, thanks for the help everyone.

    Anyone recognize this part? (came from driver's side door)

    I had that fall off too when I was replacing my lock actuator motors. I had to wait until I removed another one to figure out how it went on. It fits on the black plastic body of the actuator, not sure if as a drain or what. It plugs onto the nipple that is between the cover and the plug here...

    2011 LX570 Rear Liftgate not lifting on its own

    Hello, My wife DD's an '11 Lx (91k miles) and informed me the other day that the button for the rear liftgate doesn't seem to work anymore to raise the top half of the cargo access. I've always just manually opened and closed it but obviously she is used to the convenience. So sure enough I...

    The 4x6 expo trailer build.

    Trailer is looking great! I started one as well around the same time as you and plan to start a thread soon on my build. Mine is very similar in size and look to yours but of course different in many aspects as well. I really like how you have integrated your lights and spare tire. Your...

    Iron Man Pro Foam Review

    Brake dive almost completely disappears, as I'm sure it does with any new quality shock, and body roll is way way better. I'm more confident on a curvy road in my 100 than I am my work truck, 2015 F-150. I don't have experience with the OME or Fox, only factory on the cruiser but I have zero...

    Iron Man Pro Foam Review

    I've had foam cell pro's on all 4 corners of my stock height '03 with 275/70r18s since April and love them. My factory shocks were done with 155k miles. The Pro's are a little firmer than stock but I prefer that. Much better on & off road imho.. I have had no issues with bottoming out the...

    LX 570 windshield wipers

    Thank you everyone. Aggie, bending them came to mind but as a last resort, looks like I might be at that point. I'm tired of seeing them every time I drive the wife's truck.

    LX 570 windshield wipers

    Hello 200 series forum. I recently traded a 15 4Runner for an 11 LX and couldn't be happier. Always have and still love my 03 'Cruiser. Now we have a 100 and 200 series and life is good! So my question is, should my wipers stay in this up position or will they go into a lower profile? I took...

    My wife wants a Sequoia...thoughts?

    I understand ya'll ruled out the Sequoia, good vehicle in its own right, but i wanted to let you know I think that price was a little high. I traded in our '05 Sequoia Limited Lucchese edition 2wd with about 110k miles last October for $10,500. It was in excellent condition inside and out. It...
