    Oil wicking into ECM - random A/F sensor codes P0171/P0174/P2195/P2197

    (edit: Source of the oil confirmed: leaking transmission connector. See post #10. I hope the information below saves someone time and a lot of trouble one day.) I've been trying to find the root cause of frequent A/F sensor codes on my 2008 GX470 with about 145k miles. P0171/P0174/P2195/P2197...

    Total FT (and some Techstream graph info)

    Toyota vehicles have a strange Total FT PID. At first glance, one would expect the normal definition of Total FT = Short FT + Long FT. However, the data shows that this is not the case. I was not able to find a clear definition of what Total FT is, but this post tries to explain it a bit more...

    Testing A/F sensors using Techstream

    (This applies to '06 and '07 models only. Maybe also a few late year '05.) Air-Fuel Sensors can fail over time because of failed heaters. These failures are pretty obvious as the ECM will throw a P0051/P0052. However, they can also fail without it being immediately obvious (no CEL). Or...

    Rebuilding alternator with failed stator winding

    Looking for input on options on rebuilding an original alternator with a failed stator winding. One of the three windings has a very high resistance. This is a newer type of alternator with stator, rectifiers and voltage regulators all soldered together ('08 and '09 models). I would like to...

    Krown rustproofing - collateral damage

    The benefits of Krown rustproofing have been discussed here. Krown-ing a vehicle does have some disadvantages as well. First, it requires drilling into doors and door jambs. Secondly, the undercarriage will attract dirt and working on the vehicle becomes less fun. But the real problem arises...

    2000 LX470 low beam headlight bulb cap gasket part#?

    Just replaced the low beam bulbs on the '00 LX470. One seemed factory original! However the gaskets on the bulb caps were totally swollen from the oil undercoating and were impossible to get back in place. These are the parts that look like a buna'N o-ring. I temporarily cut 1/2" out and used...

    Rear A/C capped, now A/C cycling

    Thanks to the road salt the lines to the rear A/C rotted out on our '00 LX470. Last night I capped them inside the hood. Pulled a vacuum and recharged. Today the A/C is cycling intermittently. Comes on for about 2-3 seconds and then switches off. It keeps doing that. When cold the off times...

    Anyone installed a front hitch?

    I'm looking at installing a front hitch on my '00 LX. On the LX570 forum, I read that CURT front hitch receivers made for Tundra's fit the LX570 without mod's. They just bolt on the towing hooks. Did anyone try one of those hitches? Is there any front hitch receiver that fits, or can be made to...

    2000 LX470 - T-belt @ 100,000km (62kmiles)

    Our 2000 LX470 rolled 100,000 km (62 kmiles) a few weeks back. I was getting nervous about the age of the T-belt. This weekend I spent about 12 hrs replacing the belt and water pump. My observations: The belt looked like new. Just a little rubbing on the sides. Absolutely no rubber cracking...

    Connector for trailing wiring harness

    I have a '00 LX and I'm looking for a connector that will fit the connector of the standard wiring harness for the trailer. This is the connector that is located close to the spare tire. Is it possible to purchase the mating connector from Toyota/Lexus? Does anyone have the part number? I...

    For those of you looking for cheap lug nuts with conical seat: Princess Auto (Canada) will have them on sale starting April 4th. 4-pack for $2.99. Product number 8106536. I'm really surprised that they carry this size. Are any other vehicles using M14x1.5 nuts?

    LC 105 steel rims, anyone interested ?

    I bought some steel rims without seeing them. When I tried them, I found that the offset is smaller than that of the LC100. However the bolt pattern fits the LC100/LX470. After doing some searches here, I suspect that they come from a LC105. So, if you are planning a SAS conversion, or just...

    Wanted  looking for one (1) 16" rim

    I'm looking for one (1) rim to be used for a spare tire. Preferably steel, so it is the same as the other four. But alloy would work as well. There is one on Ebay for some time now, but $200 (with S&H) is a bit much. I'm located in Canada - GTA.

    Added length with front & rear bumper

    I'm considering a front and rear bumper. I've decided on a ARB Sahara bar for the front. For the rear I'm still considering several options (leaning towards Slee or ARB with tire carrier). How much will the front and rear bumpers add to the length of the vehicle? I would still like to be able...

    First time in the snow: I'm impressed

    This summer I bought an '00 LX470. The dealer replaced the tires (LTX M/S) as part of the deal. This morning we finally had some decent snow :). I must say that I'm impressed with the car and the tires. It handles beautifully and doesn't seem to mind the snow at all. The traction control only...

    Transfer case vibration

    I recently purchased a '00 LX470. When accelerating, especially uphill, there is a vibration that seems to come from the transfercase. This creates an buzzing noise. I can feel the vibration in the H/N/L shift lever, and when I hold the lever the sound is attenuated a bit. I read about a...
