    98 LX470 Rock In Rear Brake Drum

    Has this ever happened to anyone? I recently returned from hunting trip (more accurately 'hiking with a gun' based on my success rate) and was off road for a good portion of the trip. From our home in Denver to NW Colorado, I drove approx 400 highway miles as well and at 60-75 mph. Got home...

    Rear Spring Noise

    Somebodyelse5, this has been going on in my 98 LX470 for a long time but its not consistent. I have even described the noise like you without ever having seen this. Almost always over a bump (our driveway in CO is called 'mountable curb' by the city which is exactly that, a curb with an...

    98 Lexus Lx 470 can't engage transfer case in 4L

    mrahc my issue was resolved and I am ashamed to admit that I had to take it to our family mechanic and he fixed it for a few hundred bucks if I am right. AND that has been so long I don't really remember exactly what he did. I took out the center console and could not access any portion of the...

    Scored 2007 Unicorn. The holy grail of 100 series.

    Good lord! Your work and the documentation of it is amazing. I have a lot of questions and I just finished the thread and it appears so have you. I better hurry. I own a 98 LX470 (183k mi), Slee removed the AHC, and replaced with 1.5" lift, OME shocks. I think you called this a "UniGal". My...

    2007 GX470 error code P1445 AND THEN P0306

    Still on going issue. Has anybody experienced the CEL going on and off of its own accord? Same P1445 code but now intermittent. Was considering getting an OBD2 scanner with Mode 6 to be able to reset the monitors. I have a ScanGauge II with which I can clear codes but apparently with some...

    2007 GX470 error code P1445 AND THEN P0306

    I do wonder if there is a coincidence with this code (P0306) and the one that started all this (P1445). Any guesses?

    The broken injector is just above the head bolt way in the background.

    2007 GX470 error code P1445 AND THEN P0306

    Conclusion i took the coil pack out to test it and began to disconnect the fuel injector when it came off in my hand. I don't know when this happened but if you look in the pic with the electronic connection you can see that the insulation around the wires does not look original. It was...

    2007 GX470 error code P1445 AND THEN P0306

    Hope someone out there can advise me. History-07 GX470 approx 130k miles threw a code P1445. Diagnosed with ScanGauge 2, reset code and it went away for 2 weeks. Reappeared and ordered a Vacuum Switch Valve (VSV) at recommendation of a mechanic friend. By the time the part arrived CEL had...

    Sleeping in the back of a gx

    In the recent east coast blizzard of 2016 several people died while sitting in their cars with the motors running. Since then I got battery powered CO detectors meant for houses and put them in my vehicles.

    Jim thanks. I did all of the things you suggested and that doesn't appear to be the issue, but good looking out nonetheless.

    Real difficult shifting from HI to LO

    Skypig, It looks to be about 9yrs ago but what did you do with this issue? I seem to be having same issue. Once engaged it works fine but its a bear to get it from HIGH to LOW.

    98 Lexus Lx 470 can't engage transfer case in 4L

    So its been a week or 2 and I had an opportunity to pull the center console and dig into the linkage. I didn't find any obvious issues but did lube what linkages I could access. First off I used Tri-flow and honestly I don't know how good a choice that is but I think its a pretty good lube...

    98 Lexus Lx 470 can't engage transfer case in 4L

    This weekend I did get a chance to try engaging the selector into 4L and IT WORKED!! BUT only after the car was operating temp. I tried later in the day after car had been idle for several hours and it wouldn't budge. Does anybody know if this is normal? I'm probably going to pull the...

    98 Lexus Lx 470 can't engage transfer case in 4L

    Sandroad, I will try the no parking brake suggestion. Simple, I like that! Thanks jLB, good link, just what I was looking for. I tried a thousand different variations of my search. Just not that one! If the parking brake release doesn't do it i will study this.

    98 Lexus Lx 470 can't engage transfer case in 4L

    After much searching I don't find anything in the 100 series forum (or Google for that matter) regarding transfer shifter not engaging. My rig is a 98 LX470 with 150k miles. I noticed that when I went to put shifter from neutral to 4L in one of our latest snow storms it felt as if I was...

    Roof Leak Solved, but Have Questions

    What is the proper lubricant for the slides? I can see residue that looks like some type of grease (white-ish). Any idea what is spec'd for this?
