    Wanted  100 series LC torsion bars

    Looking for LC stock or stock-like front torsion bars for my 2001 LX470 suspension conversion. Already have the stock rear springs so I don't want some really heavy duty front torsion bars that will jack up the front end in comparison. Used stock is preferred. In PA area. Thanks.

    Leak in driver's side hydraulic suspension line - repair methods

    I appreciate the sentiment to just replace the line with a new one. However, I spent an hour in the local Lexus parts department this afternoon and the clerk couldn't figure out what line this was. His parts diagram wasn't very helpful and he was very apologetic. I told him I'd look into it more...

    Leak in driver's side hydraulic suspension line - repair methods

    I've finally got a suspension leak in my 2001 LX. The underside has always been a little rusty (from when I bought it) and one of the the lines has finally sprung a leak. It is the big 1/2in line running along the frame rail right under the driver's seat. See pic below. You can even see the...

    How you guys mounting your iPhone pluses?

    I like the design of the Ram mounts but it would annoy me way too much needing to use two hands to put my phone in the mount. I want to be able to do everything with one hand. That's why I use these on all of my cars (although I haven't put one in the LX yet). Amazon.com: Arkon Phone Seat Rail...

    16in Tire Sizing - Stock vs Larger

    Quick question on tire sizing. I have an LX with the stock size of 275/70/16. I am currently running Yokohama Geolandar AT-S that are getting to be pretty beat. I think I'm fairly sold on the new BFG KO2s. However, I'm wondering what size I should get. A few months ago, there was only the one...

    help some sort of trim fell out of my sunroof

    Did you ever figure this out? The same thing just happened to me. I was sliding the sunroof closed and this piece fell out.

    What have you done to your 100 Series this week?

    http://www.eternitykey.com/keys-1-2/ I thought it was available for both. It appears to be the same design just with a different key blank so I'm surprised it wasn't available from the start. If it isn't available yet, perhaps a few emails would speed them up.

    What have you done to your 100 Series this week?

    Instead of dealing with replacement housings that will keep breaking, just get an Eternity key. I think mine was something like 60 bucks, cut and guts transferred, from the dealer. Lifetime warranty and you'll never have to worry about it again.

    LX 470 vs Landcruiser: Values According to Joe

    This is the exact reason. The same thing is happening with the 350Z vs the G35 and the other examples where the premium make is nearly the same thing as the basic make. People just forget that it exists or automatically discount it thinking that they can't afford it. When I bought my LX, I...

    FYI Cooper Discoverer ATP's returned

    The shop should have broken the bead and rotated them 180 deg. They may have lined up the heavy part of the tire with the heavy part of the wheel.

    Hmmm...Disco II or TLC/LX

    I think that speaks to how good of a vehicle they are when they are running. I've worked on them and driven them and they are great driving vehicles. I put them in the same category as a bunch of other luxury vehicles such as Audi: if you can afford to drop it off at the dealership along with a...

    Want to get a programmed key for 99

    Yeah, I wasn't thinking. That Camry key won't work with the LX. I'm guessing that aftermarket is the only way to go. At least my dealership is pretty reasonable with the cutting cost.

    Want to get a programmed key for 99

    Do you have the receipt? I'd like to know what part number key they used. I recently had two keys made at the dealership. First was an Eternity Key replacement for my remote key. Cost me ~65 bucks. Second time I asked for a non-remote master key and they made me a valet key. I had some...

    Intentional Weak Points when Towing

    I'm outfitting my truck with some towing gear and like any good spec junkie, I find myself looking around for the best rated stuff. I figure that towing is one place you definitely don't want to cheap out on and I don't want to have an equipment failure. For instance, I see that you can get...

    Telescoping Steering Wheel Retrofit Possible?

    Yeah but I don't want to pay the money for a 2003+ and I don't like the nav dash anyway.

    Telescoping Steering Wheel Retrofit Possible?

    Hi, I'm in the market for a 2000-2001 100 series and I've been leaning towards the Lexus because of the tilt/telescoping steering wheel. I drove an LC and I just didn't like how far away the steering wheel was. However, I'm wondering if anyone has ever attempted a retrofit of the telescoping...

    Limited Slip Center Differential

    That mod is exactly what I was thinking of. I'm surprised it isn't more common (though I guess I don't know the cost of that rear tail section). And I wonder why Toyota choose to eliminate it. Thanks. I guess this wouldn't be a car forum without some hazing of the new guys. I've read that...

    Limited Slip Center Differential

    Question about the 100 series AWD system because I'm considering buying one. From what I understand, the 80 used a limited slip center diff and the 100 does not. I did some searching and I can't find anyone talking about how much that should decrease the capability of the vehicle in slippery...
