    For Sale  Raleigh, NC: 2000 Lexus LX470

    Just picked up a new car and with my other restorations going I have realized that this LX will not get the use or the time she deserves. So its time to pass this onto someone else. Anyone who knows me knows I am brutality honest so I will describe everything to the best of my knowledge. This...

    Alternator need help with diagnosis

    Okay guys I could really use some second opinions to make sure what I am thinking is correct or not. This morning I notice that we accidentally left two interior dome lights on all night. However, there was no issue at all when we started her up. We then drove 95 miles to my son's baseball...

    AC troubleshooting

    This is my very first time messing with the AC so I need some second opinions. AC is not cooling like it should as the temp goes up. When connect up the gauges my static readings are 50 on the low side and 50 on the high side. However, when I run the AC low drops to ZERO and the high side...

    Vacuum hoses

    My LX has 235k on it now and when I replaced my starter the other week I noticed several of my vacuum lines could use replacing. Does anyone supply a kit to replace them all? Seems pretty pricey to do it a la cart. Or does it make sense to buy the bulk hoses from Toyota and cut the to length...

    Replacing Starter potential issue

    So my LX has experienced the non-start issue 3 times in the last year with the most recent being this Friday. When you turn the key and nothing at all happens then after 2-3 tries the starter turns over and the engine fires right up. So I decided to go ahead and replace the starter before we...

    Misfire issue #5

    So today on my way home my LX started sputtering a bit under acceleration and the check engine light came on, but was flashing (which I have never seen before). However, the light would go off when I was coasting. I drove about a mile to O'Reilly Auto and got it scanned. Got the infamous P0305...

    Fan Issue

    This morning on the way into work the fan on my 100 sounded like it was an airplane trying to take off. Meaning the RPM of the fan directly correlated with the RPM of the engine and pushing what sounds like a ton of air. Seems to only occur when going from a dead stop and accelerating. I...

    Shop Recommendations in Raleigh

    This might be an unusual request, but seeing how resourceful this group is I am sure someone here can point me in the right direction. A couple of weeks ago I bought another boat to restore, but the trailer with the boat has never been titled. So long story short, I have to get the trailer...

    Beer Bounties

    Well after drinking a few I got to thinking a bit and came up with an idea. Seeing how we have a club full of beer connoisseurs and travelers. I thought I would offer a beer bounty for my most favorite beer in the world that I have not been able to find in the last 2-3 years. If there is...

    CV Re-Boot Parts Question

    Guys, its time to re-boot both of my CV's. Since I will already be in there I want to address anything else that could be an potential issue later down the road. Currently sitting around 186K FWIW. So I thought I would replace the brakes (front and back), rotors, and wheel bearings. Now on the...

    Radiator/Antifreeze issues - rant Someone please shoot me

    Well its been an interesting past two weeks. My radiator of 16 years finally sprung a leak, ok no big deal or so I thought. So ordered a new OEM Toyota Radiator and installed it. Only to find out that the brand new one leaked worse than the 16 y/o one. **As a disclaimer I was warned by...

    OEM Stereo Amplifier question

    Good morning guys. Woke up this morning to find that my stereo not working. The factor HU appears to be working just fine, but there is no sound at all coming out of the speakers. Checked the fuses and everything is fine. My next guess would be that the amplifier is not working properly. I...

    LX roof rack part source assistance

    Hey guys, as you can see from the photos I am in desperate need of getting some "new" roof rack base pieces. A fellow MUD member was gracious enough to send me his from this LX, but apparently even though they look almost the exact same from the outside the pieces are entirely different. So I am...

    Just a random thought

    With this weekend being NC's version of a monsoon. It made me wonder what Uwharrie would be like to ride in the middle of it. We all know its completely different when its wet, but I cant imagine what it would be like if it got 8+ inches in a couple of days. Makes me want to go down there to...

    Shop/ Mechanic recomendations

    I cannot believe I am asking this, but can anyone recommend a shop or a mechanic that's fair and honest? I have been dealing with an electrical gremlin since August. Started occurring in late August, but did not rear its ugly head until this past Sunday. It blows me away it did not reappear...

    HVAC Techs????

    Hey everyone, I know this is a longshot, but I was wondering if we have any HVAC techs in our club? My AC unit has a very small Freon leak (I usually have to recharge every 2-3 years). Well apparently its due for more Freon (which is not a problem because I have plenty of R22). Last go around I...
